Review: How Do You Roll?

[livingdeb]

Today, I'm going to surprise you and recommend a sushi place, How Do You Roll?. They make your sushi rolls to your specifications while you watch.



Then they cut them into ten slices and add the toppings. Isn't that pretty?



You can get three sushi rolls for about $20. Such a bargain. And you can serve yourself soy sauce, pickled ginger, wasabe, and more from the condiment bar.

But why am I recommending this place when I don't like sushi? Because they also have fake sushi. I tried the fake soy wrap instead of the traditional seaweed wrap--it has no flavor and is easier to deal with if you like to take bites out of your sushi rather than stick the whole slice in your mouth. For my "vegetables" I got spinach, Mandarin oranges, and cream cheese, and for my meat I got grilled chicken. Then, a little teriaki sauce on top. Yum, yum, yum. Even Robin liked it. The only room for improvement I could see is to use brown rice rather than white.

Bonus review - "Machete" - your basic slasher action movie with a side of politics. Also, fun uses of stereotypes that a non-Hispanic writer/director might not be able to get away with (like this parade of lowrider/bouncy cars). And it might have my favorite fight scene ever (let's just say the hero puts down his drink, but not his taco).

I thought their rice layering machine was neat, and cheating!

The sushi roll slicing machine is probably cheating, too.
