Tags: Orange County, Random (All tags)

Do you like it? Wheres your favorite spot? I prefer rolls, but have really gone on a sashimi craze the last visit I made.


My backstory with sushi is for at least the last 10-15 years i have given different things a try, but with sadness i couldn't quite enjoy what i was eating past spicy tunas cause i mean Yummmm. For me it was a texture thing for the most part.

A couple months back I was introduced to Sugarfish (OMG!!!) and was hooked. I then told myself maybe I just need to make sure im eating the freshest fish there is. Now Ive only gone to sushi places by a beach because of this theory, but my tastebuds have been thrilled

Can you imagine how good it will be once they start making sushi with something other than seafood?!

for the true experience you sit at the bar and eat what the chef makes for you.
my personal favorite is yellowtail and tuna belly - sashimi style.

everyone talk about "fresh" - fact is most if not all fish used for sushi goes through the LA downtown fish auction. All fish have been or are frozen. matter fact you should not eat local raw tuna (lets say you are fishing..) - there are parasites but these buggers die upon freezing.

Sushi is a favorite of ours. Prefer sashimi, rolls typically have to many sauces and/or rice. Uni being an all time favorite.

Hi PK 🤗 checkout Yagi in Anaheim. Owned and operated by Japanese. Nothing wrong with it but many of the sushi restaurants are owned and operated by Chinese and Koreans 😜 You get the authentic experience at Yagi. Nobuyoshi, the owner flies in delicacies like Cherry Salmon from Norway and all kinds of deliciousness from Japan that most restaurants don't carry/offer. Enjoy!

Oooh I love this.

I just tried sushi for the first time and I'm starting to like it.. I hated seafood until I went to Costa Rica and had marlin and loved it. Didn't know that it was fish until I was done and my friend goes "I thought that you hated fish" lmaoo



Realized it's a texture thing as well. Also a smell thing lol

Hey PK,


Although I haven't been in quite some time, a place called Koi in Seal Beach was memorable with actual Japanese chefs

Also note worthy is Sashimi in Lake Forest.

Tustin and Costa Mesa also have quite a few authentic places....


xoxo

BTW

What did the sushi say to the bee?

Ans: Wasabi?

What do you call it when you make sushi out of a thesaurus?

Ans: A synonym roll.

Hello, Pretty Miss Kittty!

It's been such a long time!
How are you?
WOW, you've gained a couple of inches?
Your dynamite figure is now nuclear!

I would love to come renew our friendship,
And bring you some good sashimi!
It's all about the fish and not the sushi rice!
