I had forgotten what bad sushi tastes like. Now I remember.
I am not a sushi expert but I enjoy sushi, and have been to countless sushi restaurants. I've been to phenomenal 5 star places in Miami and California, and also great hole in the wall places. I'm easy to please I think. Heck, I enjoy Giant Eagle Sushi.
I wish I would have gone to Giant Eagle.
I came for a quick lunch, sat at the sushi bar and ordered the sashimi lunch special. Came with salad and soup. Perhaps I should have ordered a roll?
The sushi bar area had an unpleasant order. But I held my nose and stayed. The soup and salad were completely mediocre, but not bad. Well the soup was OK. Salad was limp with excessive dressing.
The sashimi was just not good. The tuna was tough. And several of the other pieces just had a mushy texture and no good flavor. I partially blame myself for even getting so sashimi. A sushi roll would've been a much safer bet. The quality of the fish is less apparent in that setting.
The service, was pleasant and quick. I got in and out very quickly. The price was also very reasonable for a sushi lunch. I spent only $10. So if you do decide to come to this place, try a lunch special for the price, and do not get sashimi. Try a funky roll. Maybe that will be good.
