Warning signs that you probably won't get good sushi

Warning signs that you probably won't get good sushi :

1. The fish and other seafood are not on display at the sushi bar

2. The fish and other seafood on display look dry

3. The sushi chef or (worse) a food server wants to take your order for all sushi items at once

4. The sushi chef doesn't give you a chance to order "one or two pieces at a time", Japanese style

5. The restaurant advertises "all you can eat sushi" for a fixed price

6. The menu items are not listed in Japanese followed by a translation; they appear only in your native language

7. The menu consists mostly of rolled sushi with names like California Roll or Oriental Delight

8. More than half of the available ingredients are cooked

9. The sushi chef hasn't the vaguest idea of what you're talking about if you ask for kazunoko, shiso, inago, chirashi, or yama gobo

10. The morsels of fish atop nigiri pieces are so large that you can barely see the rice underneath (believe it or not, some people think that the sushi place is good because you get big pieces of fish). Big pieces of fish are good as long as the fish quality is good.

11. The sushi rice is flavorless; sushi rice must have a delicate aroma and flavor

12. The restaurant is part of a chain or franchise

If four or more of the conditions above are met, leave the place immediately and head to a different restaurant. (eugeneciurana)
