23 Things You Should Never Eat From A Sushi Restaurant

When you go out for really good sushi, it's like you're eating a work of art. The nigiri is perfectly shaped, the sashimi sliced just so, the wasabi dolloped in a beautiful design in the corner of the plate. But what is all the stuff on your plate really made of? If you don't know for sure, you should probably be careful what you order.

A lot of fish is mislabeled. Restaurants use spice and sauces to cover up rolls that are past their prime. And that wasabi may not be wasabi at all. To make sure you're getting the best quality food available, steer clear of these 23 things you should never eat from a sushi restaurant.

Not all sushi restaurants cater to the omakase only crowd. Let's be real nobody in here goes to masa, morimoto, or nobu on a weekly. Let alone monthly. Most people don't even appreciate fish and can't even tell how good it's suppose to taste. So for the casual person that doesn't want to drop large amounts of money and wants to enjoy the wonderful art of sushi, they have an option too. A lot of sushi restaurants cater to all crowds of beginners, novices, and pros. Even for me being a sushi chef of 5 years, I'm not a snob like this video is pressing everyone to be. You eat what you're in the mood for and you have the ability to find the option you want. Everyone should just enjoy sushi as much as I love making it for people.

You say avoid rice, soy sauce, wasabi, pickled ginger... Just say don't go to a sushi restaurant.

The person who does this script never went to Japan or authentic Japanese restaurant for sure.

Show up 2 hours before you plan to eat and ask your waiter all the questions they don’t know the answer to so you really piss them off before they go in the back with your food.

I'm so much happier just paying, eating and not caring about all the things she says I should.

"As quickly as possible after it's been pulled from the ocean"

This is actually a common misconception, as a number of fish need to be "aged" for a period in order to become tender and more flavorful. Things like shellfish and some white fleshed fish sure, but stuff like some tunas or octopus needs to be aged, marinated, or tenderized in some manner before preparation.

This video went from not eating butterfish to EVERYTHING you typically eat at a sushi restaurant lol

[RedHmong]

As a sushi chef, most TUNA are age a few days and majority of all if not all salmon should be frozen first.

Surimi varies widely in cost and quality. The Asian grocery I go to has kani kama ranging from $7 to $40, and the difference is tremendous. Dismissing surimi as "fake crab" ignores what could surimi can and should be. It's not just a "cheap" substitute for crab, and some kani kama is as expensive as crab. Telling people not to order kani kama because it's "fake" is pretty silly. It's a staple of many Japanese salads. My sunomono has high quality kani kama in it, and it's exactly the way it's supposed to be. Crab would be totally wrong for that, and many other Japanese dishes.

This video is even longer than the time I spend on having a sushi dinner.

[HaveyoumetKen]

So basically don’t eat at a sushi restaurant lmao. More raw fish for me then 😄

[retahdude]

Imagine being told by a YT girl on what to look out for when eating at a sushi restaurant. 😂

[rustyshackleford]

I love cream cheese in my sushi, fight me.

[wunkskorks]

A lot of top sushi chefs prefer a couple days of deep freeze for the fish they use, some up to a week. Freshest isn’t always best.

[getampedmiku]

salty condiment contains sodium?
gee lord, can't be save in this world anymore

[robdumond]

Nothing raised my hackles more than the cut-scene with the patrons "fighting" with the chopsticks. Nothing in this video was more egregious than that scene.

I think by "sushi restaurant" you meant American-pseudo-japanese restaurant

[fUzZyboY]

Some fish needs to be aged. Most fish also needs to be frozen at low temperature and thawed in order to kill parasites. What this video says about showing off fresh fish is inaccurate.

"Ask your server if the seaweed was sustainably harvested". Yeah right... I'd get kicked out from asking all the questions she says to ask. What does a server know? They know the menu if you're lucky. Oh, and she says not to use soy? This is a joke...
