Aburi Sushi — Restaurant in New York

I got the sushi deluxe. Ten pieces of nigiri and a tuna roll, all for a pretty reasonable price. It was plated most compactly in the bottom of a takeout container, rather than say a plate, but I feel like that fits the tone of the place, being more of a non-fancy neighborhood joint.

I'm not sure what has changed in the last few months but the yellowtail is rarely fresh tasting anymore and occasionally even the tuna and the salmon... Last night even the nori was off (soggy). I hope someone from the business is watching this - please return to your former glory! I can't keep throwing out food. For now I need to find a...
