| - I'm weird about sushi. My friends find it strange that I'd be willing to pay up for high-quality sushi, yet would also be willing to eat some not-so-awesome food court sushi.
What can I say? It's another of my many addictions/food hobbies/exercise. Um, I'm gonna try to pass off eating as an exercise at my next checkup on account of it works my tummy. Yep, sounds legit to me!
When my friends were talking about crappy food court sushi though, I don't think they meant Sushi Shop. It's actually surprisingly decent for food court. They don't try to disguise it as the authentic stuff, although it does carry some of the usual nigiri you'd see in an actual sushi place. I'd skip those though, because while the fish is relatively fresh, you'll find it wholly unsatisfying. The exceptions to this, in my humble opinion, are the seared syake (salmon) and seared izumidai, both of which are always delicious no matter how you torch it.
Unique fruit mixes and Japanese mayo options are the way to go for me, and I often enjoy the 5-piece Volcano Roll which mixes chopped raw salmon with "spicy" (in colour only) Japanese mayo followed by a good blast of the torch. My mother favours the fruit combo ones, like the Magik Roll but I find them hit and miss as the mango availability season is short. At their peak sweetness though, I do enjoy these too.
Call ahead to book your order, allowing you to simply pick up from the second cash, else risk waiting for 20 minutes for your order to complete if ordering on spot.
