The AK-47 looks awesome! I'm going tomorrow for sushi.

And I didn't get that last Deckhands text until 4 hours later! You were probably back in Dallas before I saw it LOL

But I hear you. I really need to make it to Deckhands. But now my daughter is all over me for more sushi. Good luck changing her mind. 1st world problems!

In the instance of food/drink emotions & price & pre-conceived expectations are a big factor. I eat out often and generally can deal with crappy service and so so food when they screw up. I roll with it. Agreed the higher end places you have greater expectations of the overall experience and when not met most will lie about it since they let everyone know "guess where were going tonight" garbage. Just like all the food threads on TBH no one will agree whats best.



In the first world people problems thread I mentioned that I am addicted to this seasoned/spicy tuna sushi place that opened up two months ago in walking distance from my house. They get a pass tonight.



For those in Houston if you ever find yourself near Shepherd and 34th street on Tuesday evenings drop into Cottonwood. It's a bar with live music outside. Tuesday nights they run a 10oz fillet steak special with garlic mashed potatoes and green beans for $17.



It's a steal.

They are losing their *** on that fillet! The one they serve is a fine cut of meat for the price.

Not even close if your taste buds never fully developed. Ever wonder why Sushi is hardly ever offered to kids? They mostly like bland stuff when they start eating solids, and then their taste buds evolve from there and stop somewhere. Some peoples tastes buds max out on Hot dogs and some go all the way to sushi and even more. If you think Tex mex is the Pinnacle of food I can't help you. There is a reason most of Tops Chefs love sushi, and a lot if people spend $$$$$$ on good sushi.

ThTs a pretty impressive pile of horse **** you dreamed up...[emoji1360]

I spend a good deal of time in Japan on business. I'm here now, for the fifth time already this year. Before I started coming here several years ago, the only sushi I was willing to try was rolls, usually with cooked fish or shrimp, and tempura. Sushi rolls are still my favorite, but being exposed to so much authentic Japanese cuisine here, I have certainly expanded my diet and now really enjoy nigiri and sashimi. I'm still pretty picky about the nigiri and sashimi that I eat, although I have tried just about all of it... including horse, chicken and whale. I don't recommend any of those three! Fresh sushi, nigiri and sashimi are overly abundant and very reasonably priced here at most restaurants. My lunch today was eight selected pieces of nigiri for around $20.

Last year during one trip, there was a fishing show hosted by Shimano in the convention center adjacent to my usual hotel. At one of the stations in the food area, there were a couple of chefs carving fresh bluefin tuna. It was amazing to watch them deconstruct a 200 lb fish into 200 gram bowls of fresh raw fatty goodness, and even more amazing to eat. I think I paid around $60 for a bowl and a cold beer, which seemed like a bargain compared to some of the finer restaurants here.

Is this on most menus or do you have to ask for it?

It's generally found in the appetizer menu if they do have it. There's no harm asking if they don't have it on the menu though.

Didn't see anyone mention yet, Sushi Robata @ NE corner of Frankford & Tollway in Addison. They are like Tei Tei's off Knox-Henderson in Dallas without the wait.

I like the sweet shrimp nigiri if you've never tried raw shrimp, best in class at Sushi Robata. They'll fry the heads up for you in the traditional way. If you like the "butter" from the crawfish and lobster heads, you're in for a treat!

I’ll meet ya there sometime and we can tear it up.

The best sushi I’ve found in Plano is Simon’s. NE corner of 75 and Plano Parkway. It’s absolutely awesome.

We will have to make the rounds! We went for the experience and the kids loved it. It's not the great. They do have the octopus there. That's a different texture than even I was comfortable with. I'll power through almost anything, but that rubbery stuff is impossible to avoid.

I will add Simon's to the list. My favorite is Oishii in Dallas. Off the Tollway and Wycliffe. Service is amazing. They have the off menu stuff for regulars (have to ask for separate menu) that is second to none.

Not sushi but I recommend Hamachi Kama, it's a grilled yellowtail collar that's absolutely delicious. My 6 year old daughter always orders one when we go out for sushi.

Bump for something new

Hamachi is one of my favorite fish. If you can find them at a seafood market they are amazing butterflied and smoked.

[TexasBob]

Rest of the meal. To make it worse for y’all, in the SF Bay Area. 72 degrees low humidity.

This is my favorite. Most places call it a Tuna tower or ahi tower

Ahi tower here in BCS. Tempura 40 (best sushi in town) Ours is dressed with fish eggs
