    Not bad, but at that price I’d rather go to an AYCE

    Curious if this would be considered “bad” quality, because it tasted really good

  3. For $40, would rather have a bowl of chirashi with premium cut fish, uni and ikura. This doesn’t look bad at all. If you’re happy with it that is what matters.

    Terrible. Only bc I also have a ShopRite with sushi and it looks 1,000x better than this.

    I would not spend $40 for ShopRite sushi when you could get a meal at a normal (not premium) sushi place for the same price.

    My expectations for gas station or (non Asian) super market sushi is that it doesn’t give me diarrhea or food poisoning. And that’s pretty much it.

    Not bad, especially with the eel. I love the stuff but I can’t find it anywhere

    Frankly, not bad at all. Happy to see: no mayo all over everything.

    Happy to see avocado instead of cucumber.

    Some people don’t like cream cheese in their rolls, but I like cream cheese.

    I can’t ID what’s in the far left tray, but I’m sure it was tasty enough.

    I think they’re saving money on nori by doing these uramaki rolls.

    Horrible blunt knife. The end of the tuna nigiri is horribly cut by someone with no experience. They also cut the unagi wrong, so it looks white. The only thing that looks good is the cucumber preparation.

  9. If you do per ounce cost of ingredients. This all cost around $5-6.

    If you buy a 12 Oz eel, that’s $10.99 wholesale, tuna is probably around $10 worth, 1 cucumber, and 1 avocado.

    You can make 4x to 5x the amount with enough for a eel donburi and small tuna poke bowl

    At this point for $40 go to an AYCE

    If you like it, go with it! I personally don’t like cream cheese in my sushi, if so I want small amounts and not just a basic roll. Give me cream cheese and jalapeños with a good sauce and maybe.

    If you had time, totally would have said spend that $40 at a rescue. But if it’s a quick grab for dinner than I get it and I don’t think $40 is a bad price for the amount that you’ve got there.

    Not bad. How fresh was it that’s the real question

    For $40 I could have made a 1/3 of that for you! My wife won’t let me make sushi anymore

    Looks alright. But $40 sounds like a LOT to me for super market sushi. Here for that amount you might as well go to an actual sushi place.

    cheap sushi isn’t very tasty and tasty sushi isn’t very cheap. there are few exceptions and i don’t think
    ShopRite is one of them

    Grocery store sushi isnt terrible for what it is

    I truly love the ShopRite, but those do not look good. It’s not ShopRite, it’s the local sushi chef.

    My local Kroger has really stepped up their sushi game. I get a roll every time I go now, and then I eat it while I put the other groceries away.

    Spend $40 get $40 of quality. Rice is probably hard and cold. Cream cheese is an abomination in sushi. This sub might as well be r/sushiMericanstyle

    Looks pretty good and not bad for $40. But from a grocery store! Hmmm.
