| - I ordered delivery tonight from Simon's for the first time. While I wasn't overly wowed by anything i had, there were stand-out points that I appreciated.
The clams cooked in Sake were nice - a unique flavour that complimented the sweetness of the clams. The only taste that didn't seem to make sense in that dish was the green onion. They send a free maki roll (first time thats ever happened to me!) which was a fantastic gesture. I've read a few negative reviews about the miso soup, but it was standard and enjoyable. Now, there were a couple things that confused me, or weren't what I was expecting. Two of my rolls seemed wrong - one was a specialty roll that I think I either misread the description of, or just got the wrong roll. It was still ok. The other roll was a spicy roll, but it wasn't spicy at all - no traditional spicy mayo or anything. It was just a salmon roll with roe in it.
I also, thanks to a documentary I saw once, tend to judge a restaurant on their tamago. I found the tamago at simon's to be unusually sweet, but still a good texture. Not the best I've ever had. Oh, and the rice was good. I've read some bad reviews about it as well, but I had no qualms with the rice. Texture, stickiness and taste was pretty on par with what I would expect from your standard sushi place.
Anyways, I rate tough, and I've had better sushi. When it comes down to it, next time I order, I'll probably try another sushi joint. There are too many options in this city not to.
