A current sale price of $7.99 not only bought a “Kobe” sampler with 15 pieces featuring nine distinct types of sea creatures, it came with a bowl of miso soup. Given what I paid at Whole Foods, Sushi Boy was a bargain. But after sharing the meal, I couldn't shake how much I'd paid and how very hungry I still was. The salmon was silken, while the ahi had a bright tang. Salmon and ahi tuna were the prevailing protein, existing in permutations of plain and spicy, rolled with nori into makizushi or draped in thin, squarish matchbox-sized steaks over white or brown rice for nigiri. There was real crab meat in the California Roll though, which would've justified the price if the things weren't inordinately dry.Īnother thing I didn't expect about Whole Foods' sushi section was its rather scant variety of choices.

I'll compare their decidedly “fast-food sushi” with the “supermarket sushi” at Whole Foods. Most of the time, it's Sushi Boy not usually for the sushi, but for their poke bowls, which are not only better than the sushi there, but much more satisfying and cheap to boot.īut sushi is the point of today's Dueling Dishes. I've actually enjoyed more “fast-food sushi” than veggie burgers. If there's a better food oxymoron out there, I think it'd have to be “veggie burgers.” But that's disingenuous of me to say. ![]() The Dry/ Bean (fun fact: holds the record of closing 26 days before we posted our report.Fast-food sushi.Poppa Coronofoulos Gyros & Chicago-Style Deli.Pizza Oven (name change for Mineral Point Rd.Luedtke's Wonder Bar (name/ownership change).Ken's Cafeteria (name change now Hunky Dory's).Indigo Coffee & Tea (name change now Tuvalu).Dancing Grounds (name change now Froth House).Curry n' Hurry (name change now Curry in the Box).Cleveland's Diner (name change now Plaka).Cancun Mexican Restaurant (name/theme change now Nonno's Ristorante Italiano).Cafe Samba (name change now Side Door Grill and Tap).Cabana Room (name change now Cafe Samba).The Dry/ Bean (fun fact: holds the record of closing 26 days before we posted our report.).Bavaria Family Restaurant (name change now Sofra).Africana Restaurant and Lounge (and food cart).This list may not be complete or accurate please feel free to leave corrections in the comments and we'll make updates as regularly as possible.
