I've really gotten into sushi since summer of 2003 where I took a summer job at this Vietnamese restaurant. But sushi isn't Vietnamese. However, sushi is becoming more popular amongst Americans to a point where it's a trend. Other Asian restaurants such as Korean, Thai, Laotian, and so forth are now having sushi-bars where they serve sushi as an alternative. So far, it's worked and they've been bringing in numerous American customers.
So, the Vietnamese restaurant had a sushi bar on the opposite side of the rented space where it would open after four o'clock in the afternoon. A friend of mine up in North Carolina opened a Laotian restaurant a few years back. She happens to be Laotian if you're wondering. We talked about restaurants and why they tend to fail very often. She told me that she was adding a sushi bar to the place.
Even Japanese steakhouses serve sushi.
Anyway, I've eaten sushi at enough places that serve sushi to be able to order like an expert. Basically when you go out for sushi, they have these long paper cards. These are the sushi menus and it's pretty much straight to the point. It's a brief description of the types. There is sashimi which is just plain raw fish, squid, shrimp, and other seafood that's been sliced up and not made into any rolls. So sashimi's on the menu and they explain what it is. My uncle prefers just eating sashimi and doesn't care about the rolls.
He tends to call me a wuss because I order the rolls. But I proved him wrong by also eating the raw sashimi. I prefer the rolls because they're tastier. On the menu, they do list the different types of rolls. The sushi that you see are basically the rolls. Then they have other forms of sushi that's also listed on the brief menu. There's really nothing complicated about learning to order sushi like an expert.
With the rolls, they tell you how many pieces it's cut into. Mainly six to eight pieces a roll. Then each roll has an explanation of the contents. For example, the Philadelphia roll has smoked salmon, cucumber, and cream cheese wrapped in rice. It's pretty good. There's the spicy tuna roll with tuna wrapped in rice with spicy sauce on top of it which is also described on the menu.
All you have to do is decide on what you want such as sashimi and/or the rolls. You write down how many quantities you want. For example, if I wanted two spicy tuna rolls, two Philadelphia rolls, and one Negihara roll, I just write a number "2" next to both the spicy tuna rolls and the Philadelphia rolls, then I'd write a number "1" next to the Negihara roll. Nothing really complicated about it.
Just take a brief look and write down on the menu the quantities you want. If I could afford it, I'd eat sushi everyday. For people new to eating sushi, eat sushi freshly made. I'm not new to sushi and I only eat freshly made sushi.
Also ask for extra wasabi and mix the wasabi into the soy sauce. It's very great for dipping sushi and sashimi.
