| - "Free Sushi Fridays?" Really? Free? On Friday we all headed to Touch Supper Club to try out this mythical free sushi. We soon realized though, that one cannot subsist on free sushi alone. I was wondering what the catch to having a free sushi night was, and this is it: Sure the sushi is free, but it takes a long time to be made, and when it does get served it is on a platter that will give 7-10 people enough pieces to make it like an appetizer. Considering how many people actually are at the bar on Fridays, that does not allow for a lot of people to eat sushi at any time.
The sushi itself, pretty good. They have the California-type rolls with faux crab and avocado, some tuna rolls, as well as some nice flavorful sashimi.
For dinner itself, the meals I tried weren't too impressive. The Korean burger, while tasty, is not Korean! Said by my Korean friend herself. The burger is marinated in a teriyaki-like sauce, with pickled veggies Japanese-style (daikon and carrot). At the very least, I was hoping for a bulgogi type marinade, or kimchi instead of sweet pickled daikon and carrot. I mean sure, just the fact that you are asking for a Korean burger is not crying out for authenticity, but really, no element in this burger was Korean at all.
I also had some of the grilled cheese sandwich, which was very filling, and came with some tomato bisque and fries. All decent tasting, but I'm not sure I'd go here again for a $10 grilled cheese sandwich when I could probably get a better tasting grilled cheese sandwich for about the same price at Melt.
My main problem with the food is that it took a long time to actually get served to us. We were starving and it took forever to just get our appetizers. The server also did not count out the number of extra glasses and silverware settings we needed, so we had to ask for extra settings to get any water or silverware for those lacking it.
