I tried to order the crunchy rice with tuna- which is simply a bowl of deep-fried rice with tuna sashimi over it. I asked if I could substitute the deep fried 'crunchy rice' with plain white rice. The waiter had to consult with the owner about this and eventually returned to tell me that ALL of their plain white rice came 'pre-shaped' into little squares, so I would have to have that instead of a regular bowl of rice. I said that was fine.
After about 45 minutes, he returned with a plate of 4 rice squares topped with small pieces of tuna. I was skeptical about whether that was a portion equivalent to what I would get had I ordered the regular bowl, but whatever. By the way, I noticed that the full sushi bar was not being used at all by the sushi chef, he was prepping and bringing out all of the sushi from the back, which was a little suspect.
After paying 18 dollars for the above and a small Kirin, I headed home to a full blown stomach flu within 12 hours. I came here with a friend and she actually ordered the SAME exact thing I did, presented in the SAME way and she got sick as well...it was the only thing we had eaten in common that day.
As a sidenote, the waiter was totally rude and continually gave me looks like I was on an episode of Portlandia playing the 'overly-concerned-about-food-preparations' health hipster, when ALL I wanted was plain white rice.
Ugh.
