Sushi restaurants in the United States

I agree, and my primary complaint is the rice. Sushi restaurants here just don't seem to care about their rice.

Or their tomago, but that's another issue entirely

I completely agree.

There’s a place here that is high end sushi (~$300-400/person) that id love to pull the trigger on but likely never will.

Other than that, they’re all pretty much the same.

I love tomago...but it's generally a meh item around here.

Lots of places have what seems like 'watery fish. I'm sure it's some chemical, but it masks/replaces the subtle flavor of the fish. If my first hamachi nigiri has it I just chop stick a bunch of wasabi on everything.

Pretty much.

There’s a place here that I absolutely love though. Called sushi sake in Richardson. The fish menu is in chalk because it changes often based on what they have. It’s a true sushi bar where you order directly from the chef. So many places have a waiter come to the bar and that’s not what it’s supposed to be.

Yeah

I think most big enough places even have a few of the medium price point places that stand out above the others in the same range.

There are a couple on the northshore that are pretty solid and don't have obscene prices.

I honestly don't think I'll ever go to one of the really upscale ones. I'm allergic to too many types of fish to get any enjoyment or value out of it.

I also have a strong suspicion that it's all complete bullshite.

Clearly you've never been to a good sushi restaurant such as Nobu, Uchi or Zuma.

The fact that you have to bring up places that are nationally known sort of proves the point. These aren't your average places you find in every city.

ETA or you don't know what vast majority means

What’s the name of this restaurant?

I'm genuinely curious about my downvotes. Is it because you think the rice in most sushi restaurants is good? Or that the rice isn't important?

Or that you think the tomago here is good?
