Like a standard Chinese mom, my mom gets unreasonably excited about bargains. Her friend gave her a coupon from a Chinese newspaper, granting a large sushi party platter to-go for $45 (almost $50 with tax, cash only) at Sushi Family Sushi Family.
There’s probably 12 rolls in here, including two shrimp tempura rolls, but the quality is just like most supermarket sushi, so-so ingredients and heavy on the rice. A large amount of the rolls were stuffed with imitation crab meat. Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t expect any better than that at this price. I was just humoring my mom who was too excited about it to shoot her down.
Even if you like bargain sushi and want quantity over quality, I wouldn’t buy the sushi here. More than half-way through eating, my brother picked up a piece, and a baby roach walked out. Yea, gross!
sushi is not the place to look for bargains.
Bill, I completely agree!!
oh my gosh ~ that’s the largest sushi plattr ever!
Yikes! What a shame.
tastememory, it feeds roughly 5-6 people.
asianmommy, yup, scary…
ooh i feel crawly just reading about it.
i’ve always wondered, wat do they use to make imitation crab meat?
at least you know it’s fresh since the roach was still alive. HAHAH
K&S;, bugs freak me out even when they're not in food!
Konrad-Allan, here's a link about imitation crab meat.
Xshi, LOL, but still, eww!
I think that crunchy shrimp tempura, wasn’t shrimp nor tempura….ooooooh.
