Sushi Fix Review


Sushi can be a volatile meal. As can any fare that includes raw fish, seaweed and an assortment of marine life eggs. If you grew up in a typical American, pb&j eating family you started eating sushi during college mostly to keep up with your friends. You all were swallowing it down whole so as not to taste the slimy lump of fish atop who knows what rolled in who knows what. But then you got used to it, you started enjoying it and know you crave it. You have your fav sushi place, you order rolls with even crazier stuff in an effort to continue impressing your friends who are still only eating cali rolls. Ah, sushi.
If youre in a sushi slump, youre still trying to reconcile with it, or you love it and want to try something new, check out Sushi Fix in Little Italy. It’s definitely a sushi experience unlike any other. It’s basically fast food sushi, which yes I know, I don’t want my raw fish anywhere near the American invention of speed preparation and consumption but this sushi is BOMB. It’s just unnerving at first to see a bunch of young white people wearing whatever they want under a Sushi Fix tee-shirt preparing my sushi. But all it took to change my mind was tasting the sushi. It was their incredibly delicious and my now favorite roll The Spicy Crunchy Cali Roll.

It’s an insane twist on the much familiar cali roll. A creamy red sauce and spicy Siracha are added to the favorite cali roll and tempura crumbles are all over the top. Add on some of their delicious signature eel sauce and you've got an explosion in the mouth. They even have great sides and basics such as their fine miso soup and green tea ice cream. The cost is about the same as a sushi restaurant but you don’t have to add 20% tip unless you want to and you can order it to go if you don't want to chill inside the restaurant or outside on the smoking patio. Check out the Sushi Fix website to get an idea of some of the great rolls they have and then try it out for yourself! Bring your snobby sushi friends and watch them enjoy the laid back sushi eating experience.
