The other night I went out for sushi. Now it seems there's a sushi place in every area of town, whereas 5 or 6 years ago, it was still somewhat of a rarity. That being said, getting decent sushi isn't as hard as it used to be. In fact most local grocery stores such as Central Market, HEB, Whole Foods and dare I say, some gas stations have sushi. Grocery store sushi has come miles from where it had been. It's kind of cool to be able to get your sushi fix just around any corner.
Well, the sushi place I was taken the other night was disastrous and beyond. Besides the waitress barely speaking english, I don't even know where to begin. For example, when I asked her for sake bomb, she asked," if I'm sure I wanted a bowl sushi rice." Hugh? Come again? The sushi was the absolute worst I'd ever had. The formentioned gas station I sited above, had better sushi than this joint. Is that tragic or what? All the Sapporo and sake bombs couldn't mask this mushy mess that stuck to the top of my gums with indecipherable mystery fish. I had to spit it out. I waited over an hour for the most random and nasty sushi experience imaginable!
It blows my mind that people would eat raw seafood that is so indistinguishable. Besides that, the rolls were tiny and obscure. Everything from the plates, to fish, to the rice and garnish(or lack there of) was so muted and dull. If food choices accurately reflect the people that recommend you to them, this person is in a world of trouble. I know you all are dying to know the name of this place, but I can't tell you because I didn't even take the time to look. I left tipsy, hungry and very unsatisfied.
TIP 1: When taking chef to a restaurant, try going to a decent place. We can be a critical bunch.
TIP 2: The back of the house(in the kitchen) is usually much more chaotic than the front of the house(where customers are.) So if the front of the house is dirty, chaotic and unorganized, you should fear eating anything that comes from that kitchen.
Tip 3: I'd rather be risk being deemed rude, by not eating crap food, then eating to be polite and then contracting a food borne illness.
Get it together!!! There are so many other great places to eat at .Be picky ! It's your right as a consumer. Especially with raw seafood or raw anything is involved.
p.s. this person will definitely have 7 years of bad luck for taking me to that God awful place! Bad sushi= Bad karma.
