I forgot to add tuna. A roll around here at any restaurant is around $4. I don't see anyone eating more than 4 rolls alone.

i'm even more confused now. what kind of sashimi is salmon, then? orange? orange & white if it's nicely marbled? if you can't eat more than 4 rolls at $4 apiece anyway, then why gorge on likely lesser quality rolls for $16?

and by rolls, do you mean like a salmon or tuna roll, or those behemoths with eleventy billion things inside and another eventy billion on top? (don't worry, i'm not *that* much of a snob...i eat both). because they are quite different price points, usually.

also, i'm not as concerned as others about the food safety issues. i'm primarily concerned and sad about bad quality/tasting sushi. and this is from someone who used to frequent ayce sushi. 

You don't know that there is a difference in red and white tuna? Uh...

Yeah, there is no "orange or marbled" salmon. Just salmon.

Google tells me you are approximately 125 miles from the coast. Just how fresh do you think that fish is?

Fresher than anyone who has eaten it 126 miles from the coast or more.

This wouldn't happen to be called Hibachi Grill, would it? We have one here and it's exactly like what you described. I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.

yes, i do. i read wrong. didn't realize you mean to add "tuna" to "red and white." you weren't super clear in your response. but also, my reading comprehension sucked here. :Pi thought you were still calling sashimi by its color rather than type of fish.

also, a lot of tuna is actually not actually tuna. but i still eat it anyway.

eta: beware oily, anal leakage! i'm pretty sure i've eaten faux white tuna a lot.

I was also confused. I just thought it was some land locked way of talking about sashimi.

Spoiled island girl here.

There's one sushi place, in Burnsville.  It's $25 all you can eat.

Their sashimi is ok, as are their rolls.

Naturally, DH loves the quantity aspect.  Lol

My H goes to Kyoto a lot for lunch - I think they have locations in Eagan and Savage. AYCE is $15 for lunch and he says it's pretty good.

That's the one (I've been to the one in Savage). It's by those Burnsville strip mall like places.

I tagged you in my reply in which said I forgot to add the word "tuna". But yeah, not reading that link.

WUT. 

Um. This is extremely unfair! ONE ROLL at pretty much any sushi restaurant here is $15-$20. 

I would eat all the things. MMMMMMMMMMMMM

A single roll costs you $20?? Jesus!

We are land locked. The fish is flown in several times a week from Japan and it's nowhere near that expensive.

Yeah, I'm lol'ing at $20 sushi rolls being the norm. kay.

[angelaa73]

Sorry. Not buying it.

Yep. Thanks!

[bugandbibs]

I'm dying over $20 per roll. Good thing I only eat vegetarian rolls, I never pay more than $2/roll. Mmmm, avocado rolls.

[wysiwyg]

I don't care who judges, the food pictures on their yelp page look petty darn good!


The $16 price tag seems low for sushi, though. JealousE.

They opened an extremely nice Japanese steakhouse here... And it's all you can eat. I probably consumed 60 pieces of red and white sashimi, every type of sushi possible, and crab legs. I cannot move.

What is red and white sashimi? What is the fish, I mean (I know what sashimi is)?

Edit: I see this was already covered.

[Bernadine]

I love Hibachi buffets. It's my worst shame-food.

[BAMFMrsB]

I'm sure mrBAMF would be all about this. We'll be visiting for Labor Day, for his cousin's wedding, so I'll bookmark the place for a night out.
