Aloha is NOT my type of Sushi Restaurant that I would go on a regular basis... Low Grade Sushi & the owner was RUDE/IGNORANT.

While I haven't been back to Aloha Sushi for a few years, it wasn't because their sushi is "low grade". I will agree that it isn't the type of restaurant I would spend my money at.

Many Americans like the rolls, and I do enjoy a roll every now and then. However, my parents and I were at another sushi restaurant this past weekend and had the best sushi in the Sac area again.

They brought out a live scallop for us to show it was fresh when the cut it (the woman sitting next to us freaked out when she saw it move when the chef touched it). They made me a special dish using jelly fish along with the fish that I ordered, and they make a dish that my parents haven't had for over 30 years.

Also their cooked food is better than other Japanese restaurants we've been to.

But as you have stated Spicy, we each have our own prefrences. I don't know many hakujin that would eat something that was killed right in front of them, just like chances of finding me in a sushi restaurant like Aloha, Taiko, and the Mikunis chains (including Taro) are slim.

swmr545,
Thank you for the info about your Sushi Experience.
I am a true food lover, an adventurous diner, and prefer QUALITY food especially RAW food like RAW Sushi or Sashimi.
Would you kindly tell me the name of the restaurant that you and your parents went last weekend. I had Sashimi Lobster numerous times in the past & the Japanese Chefs prepared them in front of me.
My sophisticated palate will remain exclusive. I won’t “fit” in MyFolsom’s Sushi Groupie.
I will continue embarking on my epicurean adventure…

Chances are slim, yet you wanted the group to change the date so that you could make it to the outing to one of the above? Your statements are inconsistent.

Could we please go back to talking about the sushi roll-off, since that's what this thread is about?

Greg and I will be there!! Will you all hold signs that say, "I'm a sushi nut, so roll off!" so that we'll recognize you? :D

How will this work $-wise? Will we put it all on one tab, use the 15% coupon someone mentioned, and split it? Or are we ordering on our own?

I just spit my coffee out. Your "sophisticated palate" loves the salty, pre-made food at Macaroni Grill over Mama Ann's and GoodFella's. Dude, it's obvious that you don't know real Italian food made by real Italians. You rip Koreans for trying to make sushi and act is if you're all high and mighty on the food train, but you're showing that you're a one-trick pony without a really sophisticated palate.

What time tonight? I'll be flying solo, a little Mom's time out.

I'm the guy in the Folsom hat, with sake in hand, eating everything I can find!

Seriously, I think we'll be the only group of 8+ in there at 6pm

Just look for the best-looking group in there and that'll be them! (Seriously, CW is gorgeous!)

Dave's grey, Jesse's got glasses and a beard, Mylo is a durned furriner.... they should be easy to spot, right?
