| - It's the Saturday before Thanksgiving at 8pm... I ventured into Campustown... it was a ghost town. I figured this would be an awesome chance to eat here... finally. Walk in the door... oops, 40 minutes wait. Wha-wha-what?!?!? Disappointed, I decided to order take out.... since this was my first time ordering sushi here, I decided to just go with my standard order of a spicy salmon roll -- I use it to compare to my standard ideal of a good spicy salmon roll. Hostess was friendly but said it was 10-15 minutes before I get the order. ?!!?!?! The sushi chef is already spreading the rice down on the nori?!! Whatever.... I had my takeout in hand after 3 minutes. I think this hostess is just over-exaggerating the wait time so that when your name is finally called, you'll be all excited and feel that expectations are exceeded.
I must say that the packaging of my take-out was excellent. It was in a narrow box with chopsticks,soy sauce, and napkin neatly wrapped around it in an elastic. That's my only positive point of the takeout.
The roll looked awful at fist sight.... something didn't look right about the rice. Not sure what it was. It sure didn't taste any better. 99% of spicy salmon rolls that I've had are covered in a spicy mayo. I swear that this was just squirted with a bit of a sweetened schiracha sauce. And the rice was not cooked properly... it still had a bite to it and was grainy. It also was not seasoned properly.... I've eaten at some high end sushi joints in New York AND Tokyo, and I've even attempted to make it and I know that there was hardly any rice vinegar in this.... you could taste every single grain of rice. You know how they say that sushi is supposed to be the perfect balance of rice to fish and when served at the perfect temperature (body temp FYI), it is supposed to create a wonderful sensation in your mind and body.... yah, well, these sushi chefs need to go back to sushi-school or at least a REAL sushi restaurant and wash rice for three years before they even attempt sushi again.
Again, it was expensive for a salmon roll -- $7. I've had better from a grocery store (I haven't eaten that stuff in about 10 years but still, it was better.). I still want to try the ramen, but now I'm not so sure... something in the back of my mind is screaming, "ARE YOU NUTS?!??!!?"
To the salmon that gave its life for this sad excuse of a sushi roll.... I am sorry, but your death was for nothing.
