Sushi of the week

For today's post, I will be talking about some sushi I really like. You can find these in most Kaiten (回転寿し) sushi in Tokyo.

shrimp - ¥200-300/plate

though I have a shrimp allergy, I couldn't resist and ordered them... :P I love sucking their brains out XD... I usually don't do that for frozen shrimps but these are usually fresh enough to

combo ¥300/plate

I wasn't particularly happy about the cooked Tuna Otoro, but the えんがわ and Salmon were good :) I usually eat salmon during the colder months as they are usually more fatty (fatty = tastier)... if you don't like fatty salmon then I recommend eating them during the hotter months.

えんがわ (I finally got the name!)

oops... I couldn't resist and ate a piece before I took this picture XD... this remains as one of my favourites (perhaps almost.. ALMOST surpassing Otoro).

Uoshiki Sushi Japanese restaurant 四季魚 review

Maki and Sushi set

Today's my birthday, so I will make this review slightly shorter (but I promise I will write it so that everything is covered). There is a Chinese/Japanese name for this restaurant: 四季魚.

This is an All You Can Eat place, but they have a regular dine in menu available. I was introduced to this place by my friend. Since we were planning for a quick dinner, we decided to just order from their regular menu.

Discounts:

If you pay with cash, they will give you a 10% discount.

Food:

Like most Japanese places, each entree comes with a Miso Soup and Salad. The dish looks small, but it's actually quite filling. I almost couldn't finish this plate.... I found that both the maki hand rolls and sushi were both well made. The fish was quite fresh (this was quite surprising for me). (I forgot the exact price for this item... I think it was around $7.99 - $8.99).

Mango Yogurt - Complementary dessert

Mango Yogurt (Complementary Dessert):

I was really happy they provided a complementary dessert, they have a list of items you can choose from, so I got Mango Yogurt. Mango Yogurt was good...

Service:

The service was quite decent... and they were quite attentive.

Verdict:
I will be returning to this place because it is affordable (quality and quantity matches its price). I'm not sure if I will try their All You Can Eat (I am not a big fan of AYCE). But I was definitely impressed by the quality and quantity.

Sushi Inn restaurant at Yorkville review

After some persuasion, I chose this place to have dinner after a long hard day at work. The prices were reasonable and the food was "fairly" tasty, unfortunately, the service was... not so good.

Before starting my review, I would like to comment that the prices were very reasonable especially since it is located in Yorkville.

As a party of 2, my friend and I decided to get 2 entrees and share it. We went for a bento box and a Sashimi dish. (unfortunately the picture I took for the bento box was not saved to my cell phone, so let's use our imagination).

The food wasn't really special but the sashimi plate was very well made. The fish was fresh, and it was enough to feed us 2.

The service was quite bad, as a Japanese restaurant, I always felt that the service should be good, as the culture is polite and is known for selling good service. As a Japanese restaurant located in Yorkville, I would expect the service to be better than the one I was offered. The waiter was very impolite and constantly asked us to "move" as he had to get by (I do not mind if they asked in a polite way, but they were very rude). The restaurant was not crowded yet, we were escorted to small tables that hardly gave us enough space to sit, every time a waiter were to pass, we almost had to stand up to let them get by. This is not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is their attitude, as if it was OUR fault (the customer's fault) for getting in their way.

They were also very slow in getting us food ( I am not sure if this is the waiter's fault or the kitchen's), by the time the food came, I was starving...

I am not sure if I will come back to this place, perhaps for the food, but the service was a big blow off.
