Sushi Express | Paitilla — Restaurant in San Francisco

I eat sushi in every country I travel and although I am no expert, I do know a little bit. I understand freshness, the texture of good fish, how the taste should balance and not dominate, food presentation, and most importantly (I think), is just 'how' sushi should taste.

I did not enjoy my food here. I actually only ate some of it and left the remaining on the plates. In short, it just didnt taste like sushi nor did the tempura.

Portion size: Very good Presentation: Very good Efficient: Very good Atmosphere: Very good Staff: Young man, was excellent! He had the whole restaurant and was absolutely on top of everything. Kind, friendly, efficient, aware, very hard working, organized, etc. If I had a restaurant or an establishment - I would steal (hire) this young man in a heart beat. He is so good, he is like an investment in your future. The restaurant, or someone, please take very good care of this excellent employee. An absolute gem. He is the only reason, I gave this place 3 stars.

Salmon Roll: It did not taste like sushi, nor salmon, nor anything really. It was bland. The rice, salmon, nori had no flavour. Even the wasabi, I used almost half the size of a golf ball, and barely anything. The dish reminds me of 'grocery store' sushi.

Tempura (mixed): Bland and absolutely no flavour. The tempura batter was cooked perfectly but no taste. The dipping sauce is something I have never seen before and was out of place. It is not the traditional dipping sause(s). The first one was bbq sauce. The next they gave me was a like a hoisin sauce, and the last was... I dont even know; but it was thick and brown.

I will not...

I asked for a receipt and the server told me that the receipt is what’s stapled on the Togo bag. I came back the following day to ask for a receipt that specifically says “factura,” but I was told that they can’t print it. It should be in their system already as I assume, they’ll need a record or proof if someone dispute charges.

As for the sushi (combinacion #3), the sushi rice needs to be more seasoned and the fried “crunchy” was burnt. It’s mid for their...

The service was good. We ordered chicken yakisoba and combo #2 to go, which comes with 30 rolls. The yakisoba was okay, it was overly saucy and had a sweet and sour flavor. The sushi was horrible. There was barely any fish, it was mostly rice and didn’t taste...
