| - After walking past this place for a year, I finally decided to go in. It took me so long to try out this new sushi joint because I thought the menu looked a little overpriced. This day I decided to treat myself.
I ordered the Seafood Ramen with Tonkotsu broth. The portion was pathetically small, and the broth was bland. I inhaled it in 5 minutes and was nowhere near full. To be absolutely fair though, the ramen had a good variety of fixings. It had shrimp, salmon sashimi, imitation crab, half an egg, bamboo shoots, seaweed, bean sprouts and tofu. TINY, TINY pieces of the above.
I went back for a sashimi combo. It's fast food sushi so it was just sashimi in the clear clamshell - normally I'm too good for sashimi in a box but I thought it looked acceptably fresh. The selection was boring. Salmon, tuna, some white fish that was probably tilapia, and imitation crab.
The soy was cool though. They have their own special Sushi Shop blend. It was slightly sweetened, so I didn't even mind that it was low sodium.
I ate it all. I paid over 25 bucks and I still wasn't full. I know if I kept going back to the cashier and buying more food, *eventually* I'd get full. But I was running out of time and money, so I stopped. Why did I pay so much to put myself through all this frustration???
I guess this is the place for you if you're a healthy professional watching what you eat, but I'm a gluttonous foodie Yelper. There are no fat or ugly people in here. That's the image, and I guess I'm just not their target clientele. It's a brown rice, low sodium, gluten-free kind of place. The portions are small because everyone's on a diet anyway. Blech.
