| - Rest in Peace Sushi Island. The New Sushi Island is a poor imitation that stands in your place. How poor? Well really, it's an evil imposter, a bitter betrayal of your memory who's food actually caused me to vomit. One star is too generous.
The New Sushi island, like the old, is a sushi bar with an extensive all-you-can-eat menu. Except that where the old was good, this is not.
Here's how it went down:
seaweed and avocado salad = vast heap of grated iceburg lettuce thinly covered with seaweed and avocado so drenched in salad dressing I had to mop it up with a napkin.
ohitashi = large heap of gritty spinach with a small amount of dressing. Dish is low in flavour, high in sand.
Natural Gold Roll = they delivered a non-vegetarian roll instead and it had to be sent back. The second one was vegetarian, but high in damp tempura batter, low in flavour and loosely rolled.
Caterpillar roll = avocado on top has brown spots and looks like it has been unrefridgerated for some time. Roll is again loose, full of tempura batter, tasteless and contains something weirdly chewy.
Dumplings = clearly still made in house, these now contain noodles, a few frozen peas complete with freezer burn, and miniscule pieces of mushroom. The dominant flavour is freezer burn.
At this point the nausea set in. We left without dessert, paid and frankly fled. Ten minutes out the door and I was throwing-up. Save yourself, avoid the New Sushi Island like the plague, your gut and the street cleaners will thank you.
