| - When you are in a rush to catch a Metro (subway), you aren't always that picky about what to eat.
In the case of Metro Sushi you are in luck, it's quick, fresh and tasty. The sushi can (usually) be seen in the making. Their small open kitchen is behind the counter, literally just behind it. The place is about the size of a 10' x 10' tent.
The owner is typically on site standing at, or near, the cash register and overseeing that the pre-prepared sushi, (mixed trays and by-the-piece) are up to standard.
I have not yet tried all the varieties of Maki rolls or Sushi pieces. The ones I have tried have been quite pleasant, especially for the about right prices (in the take out non-sit down, non-table service category). I have to indulge in more of their offerings to really determine any true yum/pow factor.
I am also a big fan of their pickled cucumber and carrot platter for about $3 (be careful since it does leak a bit of marinade juice when tipped or can splash when opened.
They have a nice selection of Asian canned and bottled beverages. I have gotten a few coconut waters on humid days to replenish fluids. Once in a while I'll even treat myself to a little sweet or jelly dessert. I have noticed the sign for bubble tea, which note-to-self, needs to be tried.
I'm starting to crave some sushi, so I better wrap up this review in a seaweed salad - pun obviously intended.
When you normally see a rice cooker full and at the ready, that's another good sign. I can't wait to try more of their morsels or plump looking rice paper wrapped sandwiches...
