One day I asked my sushi chef friend what he thought of grocery store sushi. His reaction was that’s no sushi that’s sushit! But alas I found humor in his grumpiness, because I have yet to find a sushi chain in the grocery store that made me go back for more.
Sometimes I go and eat it because I have a craving for sushi and it fills it. Sometimes I regret it instantly afterwards, other times I’m just left having to scratch my itch later with better quality sushi.
Whole Foods I never have to worry about the quality of the ingredients. I don’t have to worry that I’ll have dysentery several hours later. But it misses the mark.
The sushi rice is better than some places. It was better than the Chinese place. But it just wasn’t quiet right. There is an art of sushi rice that many places just can’t seem to master.
If you’re into brown sushi rice, they have that. I never had brown rice sushi. A lot of places don’t offer it and I’ve never been a fan of brown rice. The pricing seems okay a little expensive for a grocery store, but then again Whole Foods is generally expensive compared to other grocery stores.
They don’t give you wasabi in your take out tray. I had to go back to get it. The ginger was the white kind without preservatives. If they had chopsticks they aren’t easily accessible. So I had to eat my sushi with a fork. That was hard so I ended up using my hands.
