Deenie Asian Bistro's friendly waitstaff dole out plates piled with steaming Thai and Japanese entrées as well as self-contained sushi rolls. The skilled sushi chef crafts a menu that juxtaposes modern and classic culinary sensibilities as daringly as a toddler eating a vintage baseball card. Diners munch on straightforward avocado sashimi ($1) or salmon rolls ($5.55) as well as more inventive concoctions such as the orange dragon roll ($12.95), a cylinder of lightly fried shrimp, cheese, avocado, asparagus, and masago wearing a crown of salmon. Visitors hungry for customization can create signature thai entrées from basic ingredients such as tofu ($10.95), beef ($11.95), or mixed seafood ($15.95) before enlivening their meals with spices ranging from mild to thai hot.
