| - This is an update to a previous review, and this is my second visit to this particular location of SU&BU. I have to admit that my first visit to this location was quite unmemorable. But how things can change on a second visit! I was in the area, and decided to give this place another shot since I was so kindly left a message by the owner. It was the first warm day after winter and when we arrived the entire store was slammed with people and children with bodies flying all over. Since this location is located inside of Yogurtys, everyone was bouncing around high on froyo sugar. My significant other and I ended up going for a sushi burrito (tuna tango) and a poke bowl (the signature). I must admit we didnt have high expectations, as this is a small kiosk in a larger store coupled with our last experience here. But we were very pleasantly surprised at just how tasty and fresh tasting things were!
The tuna tango was quite well made. The nori on the outside perfectly wrapped around the ingredients. The roll was not filled with rice, but rather a nice blanket around. The tuna was quite pleasant and fresh tasting. The lettuce gave it a very nice airy feeling, while the tempura bits and cucumber gave a nice light crunch and texture while the avocado helped smooth it all out. I rarely say this, especially for a kiosk/take out counter type place but this was actually quite delightful on a warm spring day. All the flavours blended together to give an over all filled yet satisfied feeling. My only issue with this roll though, is that the nori was a bit on the chewy side. When you order a sushi hand roll from a restaurant, it is best eaten as fresh as possible as the nori (seaweed) should be nice and crunchy and cleanly break apart as you bite into it. You can tell a hand roll or nori was sitting some where for a while if the nori is a bit chewier.
The poke bowl also continued the trend of satisfaction. All the ingredients tasted nice, crispy and flavorful with nothing soggy or mushy like it was sitting out all day. Everything blended together nicely, and the presentation was quite appealing. The ginger in the middle of the salad also provided a nice light crunch without over powering - I was a bit concerned with the amount intially given as ginger can easily over power a dish and your mouth. But my concerns were proved unwarranted.
Im going to chalk up my last interaction with this place to growing pains. As I do believe this location has not been open for very long, and perhaps theres still a learning curve. But I will not hesitate to swing by this place again if I want to grab a bite in the area. SU&BU occupies a very unique space in the food market as people become more health concious, and veer away from traditional fast food places. Traditional fast food places (lets say McDonalds) are loaded with sodium, and are just generally over processed and deep fried. Sure it feels awesome while you eat it, but right after having McDonalds I always feel just over full. While a traditional sit down restaurant could offer you more healthier options (such as a full sushi restaurant) but that would require time to sit down and order and eat. SU&BU allows you to drive up, order something and then off you go. So you get the best of both worlds. Grab and go, fresh and filling.
