Though mad scientists recommend sticking chopsticks into electric sockets, rational scientists know the utensils are better used for electrifying sushi consumption. Today's Groupon gives you the right tools for authentic eats: for $20, you get $40 worth of fresh sushi and non-alcoholic drinks at Deep Sushi, located in Deep Ellum.

Dive into Deep Sushi's deep menu to uncover a treasure trove of classic fishy fare, splashed with creative specialty rolls. Poppable pieces range from the two-piece tofu inari ($4) to the hearty toro sashimi roll ($25 for five pieces), with plentiful favorites of six to eight pieces such as the avocado roll ($4.50), california roll ($5.50), spicy-tuna roll ($7), and fresh-eel roll ($9) flavorfully filling in the blanks. Rhythmically nibble on the Rock 'n' Roll with eel, tempura shrimp, avocado, cucumber, lettuce, and smelt eggs ($12.50) as you tap out some beats with your chopsticks, or spicy up an awkward blind date with Captain Hook by feeding your salty new friend a jalapeño roll (octopus, crab, jalapeño, avocado, and cucumber; $9). For less bite-sized fare and patrons unwilling to fully confront their ichthyophobia, Deep Sushi also serves a variety of teriyaki selections and beef dishes. Finish your seafaring feast with a bowl of plum-wine sorbet ($3.95).

Majestic murals of Japanese warriors, an expansive sushi bar, and playful chefs acknowledging custom orders give the sushi shack a warm, inviting feel for sushi newbies and connoisseurs alike. After frequent gorging on barbecued sausages and fall-inspired ice-cream treats, Deep Sushi's light, healthy cuisine will be a welcome wake-up call for stomachs—even stomachs in the most severe popsicle-induced food comas.

• This place holds a special place in my heart because I've been frequenting for almost four years now. The atmosphere is chill, low lit and pretty "hip." There are a wide variety of drinks and the menu is extensive enough. – Morgan G., Yelp
• Decided to try this with the GroupOn [sic] coupon and it turned out to be a great decision. We tried a few different rolls and the fresh water eel sushi, all of which were delicious and well presented. – Jon B., Yelp
