Any Sushi Lovers Here ?

[Chief]

When I first tried Sushi in San Antonio, I thought it was horrible, It was at Golden Phoenix on Perrin Beitel i believe. AFter coming here to Costa Rica, My GF took me to a place called GOYI. Man i love Sushi now.

**for those of you want to try it, I recommend California Roll, probably the safest way to go for trying it as ur first time**


Getting a big plate of sushi , dipping it in soy sauce and scarfing it down when ur hungry, there's nothing better. got a 48 piece , with 2 drinks for about $24. not bad.

[NASpurs]

I love sushi! In Seattle, there's this place called Blue C Sushi where it has a rotating conveyor system with plates that are color coordinated with prices. I thought that was awesome.

I'll be in Costa Rica next month so I'll try out this Goyi since I was looking for a sushi place. Tell AJ I said hi. :lol

Of course sushi is going to suck at a buffet. For anyone out in SoCal, Noshi Sushi on Beverly & Western is outstanding (and affordable). Their fish is the freshest I've ever had, and their sushi pieces are large and with little rice. The only bad thing is they don't have fresh wasabi (you get the putty-looking fake wasabi).

[O-Factor]

My favorite sushi here in Austin is at Sushi Sake on 183 and 360. I've never had a bad experience there. They have an excellent assortment of rolls, generous on the fish, great Sake, and a great ambiance.

very, very few places have real wasabi because it is expensive... most is just green horseradish

Hokey smokes. You got sushi at the Golden Phoenix?

That probably wasn't sushi. That was just stuff they forgot to cook. Be glad you're alive.

:lol we didn't go there for the sushi, but my girlfriend loved sushi and told me let's try some, so yeah it wasn't good for my first experience. it was very chewy and had a stench , I thought that's how it's supposed to be .

but man now that i've had some sushi the way it's supposed to be made, it's so awesome, nothing like sushi when u feel like chowing down something different.

I've had wasabi, man it's spicy

[TDMVPDPOY]

if your going to eat sushi, eat it from a japanese joint, dont goto joints thats made by chinese/vietnamese or any nationality....cause there is a huge difference on quality

[jman3000]

only sushi ive had in sa is zushi sushi. i wasnt really hungry so i let my date eat most of mine.

[TheProfessor]

I really like Musashino Sushi Dokoro here in Austin. Tried geoduck for the first time the other day (which some might remember from Dirty Jobs).

[Don Quixote]

Several very good places in New Orleans. Rock 'n' Sake on Magazine St. is very good, as is Horinoya in the CBD. If you're in Metairie there are also a few good places I would recommend.

I was, however, introduced to sushi while working for the U.S. Forest Service in Connecticut. During our time in the lab, when I was in town, we stayed in a building in Ansonia, near New Haven. There was a female scientist, from Hong Kong, who also stayed there. Her expertise was beetles. She was at URI I think. Anyway, she and I used to go down to a couple of places near Yale. Those places were outstanding!

Even better were these white Yalies, dressed in Buddhist robes! Is that what they're learning in the Ivy League now??

[Don Quixote]

I love food porn.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

if you're in the dfw metroplex i highly recommend sushi yokohama on preston just south of Bush. it's the freshest sushi i've ever had.

[Don Quixote]

My favorite kind of sushi involves eel -- I love it on top of rice, in a salad of some sort, or in sushi. I also love deep red tuna and pink salmon. The rolls are great too, provided they're not covered in mayonnaise-y sauce. The California roll is good for the beginner, but I generally opt for the eel hand roll.

I also have hot dreams about seaweed salad. The place in Metaire (Oki Nago) makes an excellent one. And miso soup. And cold noodle soup with large shittake mushrooms. At this point, I am migrating away from sushi towards Japanese cuisine, but it's all good!

Anyone like kimchi?

I also recommend Shusihanna on NW Military. It has been a couple of years since I have been there(I hope it is still there)but DAMN they have good sushi.
Il Sung on Blanco at 410 has good sushi as well.

[RashoFan]

The Cosimo Roll is the fucking bomb from there.
SZ has a LARGE menu to chose from and the qualityis pretty good and the prices are not to expensive.

[pawe]

i love grilled unagi with a side of seaweeds and pickled ginger.
And you guys should try uni sushi (sea urchins). they are creamy, sometimes tastes a little milky and has a strong ocean aftertaste..dip it in soy sauce with a lil wasabi and finish the meal up with juyondai sake.

[TDMVPDPOY]

you know what you could do,

buy a piece of salmon, i think it cost about 20-30bucks...

take it home and slice in long thin pieces...about 4-5cm x 2mm thick....

dip it in japanese soy sauce and wasabi...

this is what my mom usually does....we use to get free sushi rolls also

[TDMVPDPOY]

Anyone like kimchi?

kimchi is just like any other fukn salad man, only thing i hate about it is the smell.

Korean food is okay, a bit pricey though...only thing i dont like about it is they bring out too many dishes and it covers up the whole table :(....feel sorry for the person doing the dishes by hand....

[pawe]

i like kimchi but not the smell. i usually pair it up with beer..i know its weird but i like it.

[Don Quixote]

Korean hasn't really caught on in America, not like the other Asian foods. I like it, though. Used to eat it all the time in Biloxi-Gulfport, Mississippi.

And kimchi is great.

But back to sushi ... New Orleans is not known for its Asian food, but some of the places here are still excellent. Haven't tried sea urchin -- will have to give it a try.

[marini martini]

Whats the story with him and Goros?

Goro's happy hour was my fave, a few years back!!! I love it!

[TDMVPDPOY]

besides eating sushi, you guys eat any other japanese meals? katsu-don ftw...

Korean food is huge in Cali.

[iminlakerland]

yea korean food joints are all over the place in so cal. I dont mind Korean BBQ at all its actually pretty good. MMMM i feel like a sushi run for lunch tomorrow :) I love white Tuna Sashimi :X

[Don Quixote]

Korean food is huge in Cali.

I guess so ... I've never been to the West Coast as an adult.

[stretch]

sushi is awesome.

sashimi is my favorite food ever.

eel FTW

You, my friend, rule.

Eel fucking kicks ass. Probably my favorite food in the world, along with pretty much any kind of sashimi.

Miso soup kicks ass.

Kimchi kicks ass. (i am actually half korean too. half korean and half irish to be exact, so i get a regular dose of korean foods.)

Do you like sashimi?

I know I rule. Thanks for expressing what everyone here at ST all want to say, but don't actually have the nerve to say.

Eel is the greatest. I have hot dreams about eating it, putting it between my teeth, letting its delicious flavor soak into my tongue ...

Miso soup rules. I don't try to make it at home because I know I will ruin it. And I love kimchi and Korean food.

Sashimi is good too -- I prefer eel, of course, and mackerel, because I like my fish to taste like ... fish

ooh mackerel is soooo good too.

its nice to know that im not the only one that likes eel as much as i do. i know a few people that like it, but most people that have it dont really like it a lot. but to be fair, the first time i had it, i didnt like it either, but im probably the most open minded person about food, and probably the least picky eater ever, so i gave it another chance, and it grew on me fast, and now its my favorite.

[ATRAIN]

Nothing beats Sake Hand Rolls.......oh yeah and the Spicy Susan at Sushi Sake in Austin Pwns all other rolls.

[Don Quixote]

I loved eel the first time I had it. The flavor is amazing. I like salmon and tuna also, but eel and mackerel are my favorites. I love them in pretty much anything -- hand rolls, sushi proper, sashimi, etc.

Imperial Cafe in Corpus Christi is probably the best place for sushi there. In New Orleans, it's ... Rock 'n' Sake on Magazine St.

[baseline bum]

Freshwater eel is one of my favorite sushis also. Yellowtail is my fav sashimi.

[Chief]

Damn everyone talking about eel, i might have to try it

any recommendations, in which type of dishes do they serve it in ? and what's the safest to try it out.

[johnsmith]

Goro's on 410.

Get the Squid Enchilada.......it's the greatest roll ever, ever.

Just order it by the piece ask for an Unagi. Its like an orgasm in your mouth!! IN a heterosexual way of course.

[Don Quixote]

I'll have what he's having.

[ATRAIN]

Exactlly!!

[ATRAIN]

I always have to order at least 2 pieces of Unagi every time. That shit is just sooooo good.

EDIT: NVM i didnt notice your little "disclaimer"

[Don Quixote]

Also, i'm not big into wasabi, oddly enough. If it's part of the sushi roll, then that's okay. But my philosophy is, if the sushi chef wanted wasabi on his roll or sushi, he'd have put it on.

And I eat it with my hands.

[Don Quixote]

I'm adept at chopsticks, mind you. But sushi, I think, is better just eaten with your hands. It's not a messy food, really.

And yes, I am a savage.

had a 48 piece with my gf last night at Goyi here in Costa Rica.

Man it was so good

That's a lot of rice, with very little fish.

Dang dude ... that's a lot of sushi. Was that all for you?

I seriously need to go to Costa Rica. How is it there? And the women?

it was for me and my gf. i know it´s a lot, but man when i get a sushi craving i really get one.

costa rica is beautiful, it´s paradise, u spend so little money here. taxes are nothing.

I have a one bedroom apt in a nice area for $300 a month. brand new one.
besides that the utilities are nothing (average electric bill of mine is $10, Water Bill $5 - includes trash collection). Cable T.V. $30. Internet $40.)

so my rent plus utilities is roughly $400.

the women?!! man the women are unbelievable, it´s a rule here that all women must wear short skirts and show lots of cleavage, lol.

[Don Quixote]

I definitely cannot move to Costa Rica then. The food is too good and the women are too beautiful. My wife would get seriously paranoid and not let me out of the house.

I'm better off moving to where the women are ugly.
