Grand Central Market – some good, some bad

It’s probably been 3-4 years since I last visited GCM.

I had heard about Sushi Rush and figured it was popular so I really wanted to try that, as well as Fat+Flour which I know has been around longer.

Sushi Rush is not good. I ordered the rush set and added salmon-lemon nigiri and toro with caviar nigiri. It came to about $49.

The fish is not fresh at all (but somehow not fishy, so I guess there’s a positive in that). Every fish has the same texture and are all tasteless. The sauces and toppings were different and decent but the fish itself was not it. And the rice was hard, falling apart, and bland. I’m not expecting top tier sushi but this was just plain bad.

I wanted to leave with something good so I went back to my old favorite – Tacos Villa Moreliana. The Taco de Surtido was as good as it ever was. Soft juicy flavorful mixed carnitas stuffed full enough to form two tacos for about $5.

And for dessert, a slice of key lime pie from Fat+Flour for $7. The crust was complete mush. The whipped topping was alright. And although the texture of the pie was creamy and smooth, it was more bitter than tart and limey.
