As their name suggests, come here for the rice, though not necessarily for the fish! Although opened by the same founder as Tachi and Shoushin, it appears that the cheaper cuts of fish make their way here. In fact, the cashier seemed to have difficulty understanding me when I asked if there was chutoro...
I ordered the chirashisushi, which is essentially slabs of sashimi laid on their bed of sweet, seasoned sushi rice. For roughly $25 you can get a generous portion of rice with roughly 9 pieces of sashimi along with two tamago. The rice was well flavoured - perhaps the best I've had thus far. It was just the right amount of sweetness counterbalanced by the vinegar in the rice.
That said, it is quite overpriced. The $25 includes one cooked piece of shrimp, two pieces of lean tuna, two red snapper (or so I believe), one chutoro, two Hokkaido scallops, one tako, two tamago, some salmon roe and sweet shrimp paste. Though I considered getting the tekka don, I opted not to last minute as it contained mostly lean tuna with only two pieces of chutoro. And thank God I chose not to! My pieces of lean tuna were limp and had traces of tendon, making it chewier than expected.
Overall, the quality of the assorted coverings was decent. As aforementioned, the tuna was satisfactory, and the chutoro was a sad excuse. However, the scallops were amazing! While not as sweet as the other ones I had at Tachi, they were still very juicy, plump, and delicious. The salmon roe was also not too salty, and very fresh (popped in my mouth with each bite!). The tamago was well seasoned, and was a nice light sweet bite - though I do think it could have been fluffier in texture, as you could see that it was overcooked in some areas. My absolute favourite was the sweet shrimp paste. If they served rice with only the shrimp and the scallops, I would definitely buy!
If you're looking to go the extra mile for good quality fish, I would suggest visiting its neighbour Tachi. But if you're satisfied with decent quality fish and are more of a rice purist, come to Shari.
