Well, yeah, sushi's going to be pricey no matter what. If people wanted to fill up for cheap, that's why Carl's Jr. is down the street. *shudder* I'd rather have good sushi where they don't cut corners.

All of the specialty rolls used to be good. We liked the Jason roll (hand roll).

Thanks for the tip. I think I have heard of this before. The reviews are all good:

Amen, Sister.

I really like their rose roll and spider roll; I think I had their tornado roll last time I was there. Pretty much everything I've tried has been good. It's always jam-packed full of Japanese people, so that might be a bit of a testament to its merits.

I've never eaten sushi. If I have, I'm not aware of having done so.

What would you sushi eaters recommend for someone like me who believes that raw fish is to be used only for bait?

Tempura rolls aren't a bad way to start. The fish has been fried, so it's cooked and crunchy but still has lots of flavor. For the truly unadventurous, there is always the California roll that has imitation crab in it... not even real fish.

I've had imitation crab. I much prefer real crab.

I'll have to try your suggestion sometime. I love fish, if it's cooked. Bait, on the other hand....

I always get a kick out of people that love sushi and then start ordering rolls. A california roll! A dragon roll! a spicy tuna roll!

Sushi in a landlocked area....yum.

Ichiban, Takashi, and Ginza in Salt Lake are all good. I hate Happy Sumo. To me it's an overpriced Demae.

It all tastes like shit.
