The weather outside is ALL KINDS OF frightful and I cannot garner sufficient willpower to go grocery shopping in these wintry conditions.
Yes, I'm complaining.
Sushi-me!
I decided to try a new sushi spot today. I ordered from Rainbow at 21:05 through JustEat with an expected delivery of 21:45pm.
I ordered
-Shrimp skewers (appetizers)
-Hotate Butter Yaki (Scallops in Garlic Butter)- also an appetizer
-Green Dragon roll (with extra soy sauce and spicy mayo
The delivery was on time, arriving at ten minutes shy of ETA.
Prices were ok, not super reasonable but not crazy. In total I spent $28.
The delivery guy was also kind of rude; he asked me for an extra tip (on top of pre-paid tip and delivery fee). I thought that was so ungracious and it put me off instantly.
Now for the pudding-proof, the matter of taste...
The skewers were.... meh. Bit overcooked. A total pass for me. Esp. portion wise. 5/10.
The Yaki was yummy. I think I could have eaten 10 of these. Think buttery, textured scallops. 9/10
The roll was totally underwhelming. I feel like zero effort was put into it. 6/10
I was happy for this find because my last sushi delivery experience goes back months and it was not a pleasant experience. This one came better recommend by just-eat ratings and yelp ratings but it is NOT THAT MUCH BETTER. La lutta continua.
I RECOMMEND: Trying the scallops. They are bite-size pieces of heaven.
EXTRA TIP: The minimum delivery order is only $15 (as opposed to $30 at many of my favourite eateries), but a $2 delivery charge applies to all deliveries
