| - Other than the fact that their name sounds like the most fun level ever in Yoshi's Story, I had never heard of Sashimi Island before. In fact, i kind of just ordered on a whim via Just Eat and I have zero regrets. Usually delivery sushi is pretty terrible and I know what I'm getting into but this was not the case.
I went with the Maki Set D (15.99), the Sushi Set E (15.99), an Avocado roll (3.75) and the Tempura Appetizer Dinner (6.99). Yeah, its a lot of food I get it. Leftovers are fine. Stop judging me. It also came with 2 Miso soups and 2 Salads.
The Maki Set D was pretty good value. The Spicy rolls were the real winner by a hair compared to the green dragon roll. Both were big and fantastic. The unagi roll was also really good, but competing with two heavy hitters it didn't shine as bright.
The Tempura Appetizer Dinner was amazing. Usually ordering tempura delivered means me getting chewy deep fried awfulness, but the shrimps and veggies were very good. The squid rings weren't bad by any means but I wasn't that big on them to keep it 100 with you. Still ate them all in one sitting.
The Avocado rolls were good but its really hard to mess up an avocado roll. You just look at it and you ask yourself. Is there avocado? Check. Is it in a roll? Check. OK, then it is probably pretty good.
The real winner was the Sushi Set E, let me tell you about it. Huge pieces of sushi and INSANELY huge pieces of Sashimi. Granted, I like thinly cut sashimi as much as the next guy but sometimes you want to bite into a huge piece of salmon. Sashimi Island afforded me the opportunity to do so and I love them for it.
All in all, 9/10 and would definitely order from them again. Also, shoutouts to Sashimi Island for hooking up a huge container of soya sauce. I hate opening those little packages with my fat stubby fingers so you guys really did me a solid there. I feel you.
