In search of: American-style sushi rolls

#Sushi Enya
Came here looking for some rolls but made the mistake of ordering some nigiri first. The rice was just bad, under-seasoned, dense and gummy. The fish to rice ratio was inconsistent and the neta wasn’t very good either. And as I watched the sushi chef making my sushi I could see why, she was forming the rice as if she was trying to squeeze water out of a sponge and all the fish was already precut and sitting in the sushi case.

On the plus side they either don’t have AC or it broke so you get to enjoy a free sauna while you dine in 85 degree heat.
