When Tim and I met in 2000, I'd never had sushi before. After a year or so of prodding, he finally convinced me to try it. I've been hooked ever since. Our favorite RVA spots for sushi are Akida and Mai Sushi.
Ever since we arrived in FW we've had a hankering for sushi. Nigel's a very adventurous eater, but we've never given him sushi because it seemed likely that his teeth couldn't cut through the nori part of a roll. So, on Christmas Eve eve we ordered takeaway from Blue Sushi Sake Grill in the So7 district of FW. This way Nigel could try sushi at home; if the experiment failed we could fix him a PB&J.
We talked about sushi all day long, so he was very eager to try it. In fact, when Tim set little plate down on the table Nigel gobbled up the first roll (avocado) in a few bites. Alas, when he picked up the second one he declared he didn't like it after all. He picked at the rice and insides that we scraped out, but he really dug the potstickers.
Our 2 cents on Blue Sushi is that it's more of a bar than a sushi joint. The rolls were no better than what you'd find at Kroger or Ukrop's. The clue should have been the super chic, hip interior and the cheap prices (Lucky Buddha in RVA pulls this off, though, because they have really, really good sushi).
