I Can't Stand Fishy Fish

I think it's a bad sign when you walk into a small family restaurant, and it's completely empty. Immediately, your stomach rumbles with thoughts of food poisoning, bad tastes and contracting some sort of nasty disease.

My brother said he's eaten there before and it's been good, so we sat down and prayed for a moment.

For $16 each, we had a sushi combo platter that was very disappointing. The salad had a delicious dressing, but it was drowning in it. The spicy tuna hand roll tasted so fishy that I wanted to spit it out. The mayonnaise and spice in "spicy tuna" disguises most of the fish, so to taste it on top of that, it must have been pretty old.

I'm sorry, but it makes me want to vomit. No one likes the taste of fishy fish, so it's imperative sushi restaurants keep their fish FRESH!

We went to Kiriko on Sawtelle in case you wanted to avoid it. I wouldn't go back even though the waiter was attentive.
