The $4.99 Chinese buffet here sells nagiri (rice with a slice of fish on top) on the buffet line.  No way, no how.  If I want it, it's going to be done fresh.

There was a Todai Sushi/Japanese Buffet place in Huntington Beach (not part of the chain, as I understand, but the chain places were similar).

Pretty good stuff, actually.  Hot dishes and nigiri style sushi, as well as rolls, and even sashimi.

But oh, the spicy tuna roll...they actually had a warning on those--more than a couple of them would tear your ass up.

We had a Todai place here, and it shut down before I could go.   :bawl:

I had to look that up -- homey won't do sashimi, either. You gotta hold a gun to my head to get me to eat cooked fish, and you think I'm gonna eat raw fish?

In a pig's ass

Well, if you think that'll make sushi/sashimi work for you...

Crunchy Roll...just do an inside-out California Roll and add some tempura flakes on the inside (or out).

Do you go for toro and white tuna as well as maguro? I love toro....often not in season, though.



Even so, I have to say a plain old tekka roll would really hit the spot right now, too true. Are you an inside-out-roll man or traditional nori-on-the-outside guy?

I kind of go more for the crunchy sushi myself, which is usually from molluscs--ika (squid), tako (octopus), and hamaguri (orange clam, purple clam, giant clam, any kind of clam).

And when they have whole baby octopus and it's done right....mmmm.

Of them all, the only one I really detest is uni (sea urchin). It's jelly-like and nasty. It's the one sort of sushi/sashimi that you might think sushi/sashimi was like if you hadn't tried the other fish.

Don't like California rolls, as the faux crab is a crappy poor-man's sushi no matter how they gussy it up.









Iassa, they make the stuff look like beans on those hominy cans but I don't know what the heck that stuff is. It was next to the butter beans, which I like a lot, but beans they ain't. They tricked Balki.

Hominy is corn soaked in lye.  YUM!

And Godot, you like the chewy sushi/sashimi.  That is the one kind I don't like.  Personally I prefer sashimi, no rice needed if the fish is fresh.

Wonderfully fresh tuna, nothing else, with wasabi and soy sauce.  :drool:

Octopus salad too.

I prefer my wrap on the outside.  That way you get the flavor and a nice snap when you bite into it... an inside-out just doesn't taste the same to me.  As for the tuna, I don't ask for anything special.  The first place I had raw fish was a place I worked at that served akami (grilled and cevice).

It's a shame the sushi place down the street has lousy calamari.  It tastes good but it's like shoelaces.

Totally agree! That's exactly right! The nice crunch on the outside.

I saw that one, pretty darn cool.  I still like AB, if I didn't enjoy people because of their politics, I doubt I would ever watch TV. 

That is why I want to try Durian, if both Bourdain and Zimmern don't like it, it has got to be bad.  But maybe I will like it.  I like stinky cheese.

The one in my neighborhood has pretty decent prices.  $3.50 for a tuna roll, $3.95 for a spicy shrimp roll, and the soup is only two dollars.

You don't know what you're missing. Raw tuna is to die for, as is raw salmon. Octopus and squid are a little rubbery, but have a decent taste. When PROPERLY prepared, there is no fishy smell or taste. Of course, I like raw beef, too. :yum:
