Best place to buy reasonably priced sushi, /ck/?

My favorite is avocado (maybe cucumber) and salmon
I go to harris teeter mostly, but I'm looking for any place that sells decent sushi or nigiri

Don't be an idiot, OP.

You can't ask where to find good food without saying where you're from.

Outside of summer /ck/ is still one of the most helpful boards, though most of us are drunk assholes, so make your question clear and you will most often get an informed as fuck response...

Get some MSG mate. Aji No Moto is pretty cheap and easy to get. Put a pinch of that splash of sweet rice vinegar in your rice cooker, and make sure you use short-grain glutinous rice and not some Jasmine bullshit. Add some sugar if you want to get nasty.

I tried sushi before. Pic related is my first try ever. The fish cost me like $9, and I already had all the other stuff. Rice and vinegar are so cheap that they're practically free.

Only about half the tuna I bought in the photo is present in the photo. The rest was unaesthetic and was left out, so that's only like $5.00 of sashimi-grade fish there.

There is a place near me that offers $15 for all you can eat sushi to order along with other things.

I stay for hours and like to count it up and see that it would have been $90 menu price.

>Harris Teeter sushi
You really must not be picky. I live in the tri area too and the last time I picked up maki from there, whoever had made it didn't wrap the nori all the way around the rice so it looked like a sad horseshoe.

There's tons of nice sushi restaurants around here within a 25 minute drive, and it's very easy to find the ones who serve westernized rolls. I'd name some but there's nothing you can't find on yelp.

But this is actually the only correct answer, moderately priced sushi in America is shit compared to even grocery store tier in Japan. Its not a totally night and day difference so if you only eat mediocre Japanese sushi once on a trip there you might not notice but if you eat it enough and especially if you eat the higher quality stuff for a while, its nearly impossible to go back.

Are you retarded OP? It sounds like you want to get reasonbly priced sushi from a god damn grocery store.

Why don't you go to yelp, type in sushi and put your city in you fucking mongloid.

>he thinks food is exactly the same everywhere in the world

Theres a reason places are still famous for their regional specialties despite the recipes being out all over the internet. Cheesesteaks are ok in many places, they're pretty good in the northeast, but the far and away best ones I've had have been in Philly.

Fuck off pretentious weeb. Yes, it's the "cool thing" to talk about how much sushi is better in Japan; but it's simply not the case.

You can get fantastic sushi in the U.S.A. just as easy as you can in Japan if you live in any sizable city

>You can get fantastic sushi in the U.S.A.
Yes

>> just as easy as you can in Japan if you live in any sizable city
No.

You can get great sushi pretty much anywhere in Japan. There are only a relative handful of places making great sushi in the US, and they would all be near a major city. If you live in, say, South Dakota you're not going to be able to get "fantastic sushi" "just as easy as you can in Japan".

>he thinks food is magically different when it's done in a certain place
Yeah food type and quality can very by regional specialty, skill and available ingredients but you're a retard if you think it's impossible to replicate a dish away from its origin.

He is right though

>> No.6721376

>>6721359

Of course it's technically possible to replicate a dish away from its origin. But the fact is that this rarely happens.

The biggest problem is availability of ingredients. Most restaurants can't be bothered to import the exact sorts of ingredients that the native cuisine uses--and that's assuming they can get them at all. So they make substitutions using what they can get. And likewise their customers may have different expectations regarding taste (and serving size). It's not unique to Japanese food either: do you think a Mexican restaurant in Denmark has access to the same sorts of chilies that one in Mexico does? No, they're not spending $$$$ to fly in chilies from Guadalajara--they're making do with what they can get.

>Hes never had good sushi
I'm from a city but its on the smaller side (Richmond, VA). Theres a place I loved all through high school. A small Japanese place that everyone raved about and has great reviews on Yelp.
Spent a year in Japan and went back on a visit to my hometown with my Japanese friend.
We both could barely get the sushi down. The rice was all wrong, the fish low quality, yet the price was twice as much as what I normally would pay in Japan. Maybe the place was under new management, but the Yelp reviews were still high.
Most people have not had good sushi
