You try a place a few times to make sure you haven't misjudged them and it's disappointing when you do really want them to be worthy.<br /><br /><b>Hey Belle,</b> I can't say it was an off day coz I gave them a couple of chances a week or so apart. The flavours are good, just the rice isn't.<br /><br /><b>Hey Sara,</b> $3 per plate is excellent but I wish they would get the rice right - such an integral part of sushi! And, um, yes...was thoroughly confused by my soba instruction =p<br /><br /><b>Hey JT,</b> sorry to hear you had the same experience as me at Ozeki. I still haven't tried New Shanghai at Chase, mainly because I avoid the crowds and go to the other one at Lemon Grove instead!<br /><br /><b>Hey Conor,</b> yeah, decent price to fill your hunger if you're willing to overlook the rice issue.<br /><br /><b>Hey Lorraine,</b> the salmon tobiko roll was nice texturally but a shame that the salmon didn't quite reach all the way around! And again, I had issues with rice density =(<br /><br /><b>Hey Julia,</b> in Brisbane I highly recommend Sono although it is most definitely not a budget conveyor sushi establishment!<br /><br /><b>Hey Juliana,</b> thank you for visiting =) If only it was as good as it looks!<br /><br /><b>Hey Sydney Tarts,</b> not sure which one of you it is but thanks for swinging by! The $3 special is still on when I last passed by but I don't see hordes of people lining up to eat there like at Makoto or Sushi Train...<br /><br /><b>Hey tangerine eats,</b> thank you for visiting =) At the special price, Ozeki is definitely worth the try but I've just been disappointed by the rice, that's all =(<br /><br /><b>Hey Trisha,</b> I feel often Sydney serves the same varieties of Japanese food no matter where you go but the one exception for me would have to be Koi!<br /><br /><b>Hey Panda,</b> I <i>still</i> haven't been to the $2.50 sushi place at Mandarin Centre coz the husband is a big fan of Sushi Train at the front of Westfield!<br /><br /><b>Hey Suze,</b> absolutely love sushi during hot weather =)<br /><br /><b>Hey hungry jane,</b> thank you for reading and for dropping in =) Apologies for the confusion but the date in the title is always the date of my visit(s) whereas you'll find the date the post was published provided by Blogger right at the bottom.<br /><br /><b>Hey Vickys,</b> the seafood was great! But yeah, such a textural let-down when the rice is packed in too tight =(Rita (mademoiselle délicieuse)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12353807765589132835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848781013603271056.post-36196290898801040052010-02-23T00:24:22.139+11:002010-02-23T00:24:22.139+11:00The fish looks awesomely fresh!
