My husband and I went to Irvin to eat Sushi today
The other day, I found an advertisement of "Kula sushi" in a town magazin for Japanese ppl.
Kula Sushi, one of the big revolving Sushi chain restaurants in Japan opened up a branch in California.
It said all plates are 2$. We were so excited about going to this place for a couple days!
The restaurant seems popular.
We got there around 5:30. There was already a line.
We waited for about 15-20 mins.
We left around 6:15. There was still a line. I am not sure when the best time is to go.........(・・；)
Well, here is my review;
I have to say this place is average.
I won't say that place was a total dissapointment considering it's in the U.S, not a raw fish eating country like Japan.
But the taste of fish does not compare with Japan.
In Japan, sushi fish is very shiny, I guess that's because fresh fish contains a lot of oil, and the color is very bright. Also it's cut into big slices, so you never see the rice under it.
Here the fish was hummmmm.... it was OK. They did not have much appetizing shinyness, but the fish wasn't smelly or looking too old. Actually some of them were marinated with soy sauce to kill smell?
Also selection is much smaller than Japan.
I saw eel, salmon, scalops, tuna, toro (only on piece on a plate), eel, yellotale, squid and egg for regular sushi and some rolls like california roll, philladelphia roll. (I love philladelphia rolls, btw)
Oh, I saw red snapper sushi as well. What is "Red snapper"?????? I was scared of eating fish I've never heard in Japan... so did not try.
Anyway my husband and I ate total 20 plates of sushi together and got sooo full.
Still we paid much less than we usually have to at Sushi restaurant in San Diego.
Coming from Japan, I have high expectation for Sushi.
But I would go back when I really miss Sushi but don't feel like paying a lot.
