Every time we drive by Bostin’s North End Pizza Ray’s like, “ummm, pizza” and I’m like, “yeah but we should try that sushi place right next door.” So one day we decided to stop and finally check it out.

It’s a really small shop. Besides two other small tables this was it. The old man that took our order was adorable. He just seemed like one of those humble, wise geriatrics that you just want to hug.

The menu was on the wall and fake sushi laid out on display behind a glass counter.

We ordered the California Maki, 8 pieces for $3.99. Yeah, I know, we played the safe route. Actually, if you want to know the truth, Ray picked this one out but I support it. Some say California Rolls isn’t real sushi. I think it’s safe sushi. It’s something that always taste good and the best thing to start someone who has never experienced sushi out on. There are some poor unfortunate souls out there that have never had sushi. I work with one. It’s so sad.

Is it me or does it look like there’s chicken feet in my sushi? I ordered the Spider Maki, 8 pieces for $6.99. My verdict on this one is, no. There was way too much batter around the crab.

I took the batter crab out when I got home and found it to be the size of the sushi itself. Now I know it wasn’t like this throughout the sushi, but this is still pretty ridiculous.

I’m sure some of you are like, “what do you expect from a place like this?” I don’t know. This is what I expect I suppose but you never know, sometimes places surprise the hell out of me and those are the place that I’m in search of.
