New York Japanese Food Fail

Novel Ingredients Like Fish Scales and Bones 😅 Sometimes, only complaints can push me to post something. 🎢 I’ve been craving these hand rolls for so long. Even though the ratings are average, I still held onto a tiny bit of hope because it’s opened by Kissaki. Maybe it’ll be okay! 🌊On a lazy Sunday noon, the restaurant was pretty empty with only two tables occupied, but the decor was clean. The menu is similar to other temaki places—you can order à la carte or go for a set. They also have some don, maki, and futomaki options. My friend and I each ordered a set and two dishes: Temaki 5 Piece Set 🌟🌟🌟 Ebi Yellowtail Futomaki 🌟🌟🌟 Kani Avocado Salad 🌟🌟 🏙️ The rice was way too sour and incredibly sticky. Once in your mouth, it felt like a clump, completely lacking that perfect grain separation. It reminded me of when I was a kid and overwatered the rice while steaming it. 🍃 Living in New York, you’ve probably eaten your fair share of food. But among the diverse Japanese restaurants here, I never expected to encounter fish scales and bones... It was a real downer. After reporting to the waiter, the manager only gave us a 50% discount on that dish. Is this standard service? Even so, we ended up spending over $70 per person on average. 💔 🌸 I was thinking about giving Kissaki another try, but nah, I’m good. 📍 KAMASU BY KISSAKI #JapaneseFood #NewYorkFood #NewYorkLife 🌇
