Sushi- Love or Hate?

[FlashBang]

I dont know alot about sushi except for wasabi is hot!

Ive had sushi rolls a few times and they are weirdly addictive. I love rice. I love fish. So sushi sound perfect, unfortunately, here in UK theres more emphasis on chinese, thai and indian food so i cant find alot of places that do real sushi or real wasabi.

I noticed while i was in LA, there were loads of japanese food restuarants, i really regret not going to them and trying out stuff then.

Me and my friend had no choice but putting some in our purse rolled in napkins... I know... what a shame hahaha It was the one near Concordia university, can't remember the name tho

Haha! I know that one, I've been once and never went back! I guess you get what you pay for, because they weren't all that great, and plus we tried hiding the sushis in our purse too lol!
I like Sushi Shop for something quick, but IMO, the portions have gotten smaller over the years. For example, the maki de printemps used to be huge! And now, they're like peanuts

For something more upscale Mikasa is good, as well as Maiko on Bernard. Apparently the best sushis in Mtl are at Kaizan and Shodan (sp?), but I've never been because it's apparently super expensive!

This is so true about Sushi Shop... they downsized the rolls and upgraded the prices

I always go to the one on Mont-Royal and De Lorimier corner (live in Rosemont) and I kinda stopped going there because it always takes so much time! They say it's going to take 20 minutes, and it ends up being 1h...

I went to Mikasa downtown once, it was good but expensive!!!
I tried many stuff there, including wolf fish (a very ugly fish) and some other fish's eggs

Btw, which MUFE counter do you work at Willa? Bay downtown?

When I lived in Montreal, I always had sushi at that restaurant on Parc Ave, I think Izakaya it was called.

Also Osaka on Bleurry which was cheaper!

Both were great!

I'm ambivalent.

It's food, I eat it when I need a cheap lunch, I don't care either way enough to love or hate it.

Yes! And you, what MAC counter???
I only work there when they need extras

 

[kittykit]

I LOVE sushi and sashimi! I make my own sushi at home

 

[LostinBubbles]

Hate it! Tried to give it a whirl on a few occasions, and it is just not for me. Bleh! I am all about deep fried seafood though

Bring it on!

I'm still not sure about the raw stuff. I tried a piece of my friend's once and the texture just totally grossed me out. That, and the concept of raw fish because I really don't like fish anyway.. haha.

Oh, I also can't stand masago/roe/fish eggs/whatever you want to call them -- NASTY!!!!!!

But I loooove shrimp tempura rolls, mexican rolls, california rolls, and also the place by my work has this thing called the Gorgeous Roll, which is teriyaki chicken (cooked of course!), cucumber, carrot, lettuce, and avocado I/O with sesame seeds.. omg, its sooo yummy. I put a huge blob of wasabi in my soy sauce and drench it. Delicious.

Damn now i'm hungry! hah

I love SUSHI and also Sashimi. Healthy,tasty and very entertaining to eat

My favorite is Ikura, Salmon, Uni, and toro.

Come and visit Japan ! I will guide you to nice sushi restaurants

I LOVE LOVE LOVE sushi!! Especially since moving out to Vancouver, there are so many Sushi Restaurants and its cheaper here too than in Calgary. I used to feel indifferent about sashimi but now I love it. My favourites are chopped scallop rolls or cones, and any type of fruit roll like the mango ones. I had Toro sushi at Tojo's last year and wow, it's soooo good! I do agree though, that quality makes a huge difference. Mmm...now I want sushi, too bad it's an iceland outside right now.

Awwee!!! I always pass by!
I'll make sure to say hi the next time!
I love this counter, I used to buy from the old one that got robbed last year, I prefer the one downstairs, upstairs they act weird o_0

 

[MAC_Whore]

Love it. I have sushi 1-2 times per week.

 

[Krasevayadancer]

Sushi is my absolute favorite food. Anything with cream cheese rocks my socks but in general I love eel, chilean sea bass, smoked salmon, tuna and shrimp.

I have also tried jellyfish, sea urchin, and everything else weird and exciting. Could it eat everyday, truly. And picked ginger, yum!

There are a few all you can eat places near me, very dangerous indeed!

I love sushi, but proper sushi, not this rubbish you get in M&S or Yo Sushi in the UK. That's not authentic! Sashimi is a particular favourite of mine, I'm also fond of tuna tartare so I guess that's maybe why. I am a vegetarian mainly, I don't eat meat or meat products (rennet, gelatine etc) but I will occasionally have fish. Usually when I do it's with sushi.

I like how it's light, satisfying but you don't feel disgusting after eating it. A small amount is just enough. Favourite type inari sushi, love those little pockets!

i love sushi!

 

[BloopBloop]

i absolutely LOVE sushi, and applaud anyone willing to try it for the first time. People think its icky and may taste like the sea, but it doesnt totally. If the fish and ingredients are fresh, you're in for a special treat. for newbies i always start them off with the "unagi roll" but i dont tell them its really eel. either that or a simple tuna or salmon roll

Looooooooooooveeee! No Question About It!!!
