I went and got me a California roll,spicy crab roll,spicy tuna roll,shrimp tempura roll and some lobster rangoons earlier. Three hours later and I'm starvin like a Marvin. That's the worst trouble with me and sushi. I love it but it don't stick with me. I about need a steak or somethin to go along with it.
The "go rounds" are popular in northern California. San Jose has a big one but we prefer the personal service. Any place that smells fishy we dont support.

Found a "go round" in Austin. Hope to go try it soon!

This is one reason I like sushi. Makes me feel like I'm eating good. I don't feel bad after I eat it like I do when eating a big burger or fried anything.
I guess the question now is.... Who has seriously tried sushi a couple of times and NOT liked it? And trying it at the local cheap chinese buffet doesn't count LOL
Hamachi, Tai, Maguro sashimi were my go to in Japan...they were the cheapest. I found out there is a proper etiquette form for eating sashimi when at a business meal...late night watching Japanese AFN...thumb on one long side, middle finger on other long side, index on short side...dip bottom long side in sauce...tilt head to certain degree angle...whole thing goes down the hatch.
We tried horse sashimi at a sushi go round...it wasnt bad. I wish sushi go rounds were here in the states. For those who dont know...Sushi go rounds are like McDonalds of sushi. Basic format of food preparers in a corral/bar in the center of a small building, conveyor belt around the preparers bar, seats all around the bar...the preparers prepare sushi or sashimi or special orders and place on various colored plates onto the conveyor. First come first serve. The colored plates denote the pricing for the prepared food. Keep your plates stacked and pay based on how many of each color plate.
I wasnt a taker at first but fish in Japan doesnt taste fishy. I have yet to eat sushi/sashimi in Los Estados Unidos in a restaurant that wasnt powerfully fishy.
I've always heard them called sushi trains. Ive been to 3 different ones in Houston and sure there's plenty more in the area with the same set up, plate color sets the price. Have a buddy that's into sushi that took me. Pretty cool places, and yes sushi is good for those who haven't tried it. I grew up in a house with parents that would have never thought about eating it.

i like sushi but I ain't eating no raw horse unless I am starving and no other options
Go to Uchi or Uchico (or even Tomo in CP which is underrated) in Austin, tell them chefs choice and try a bite of everything they bring. Truly phenomenal. Better bring the c-notes though. I’ve never been happier to pay.
I love sushi, nigiri, sashimi, as well as all the other raw meats out there that aren’t Japanese.
I do not like California rolls period, even lots of soy and wasabi can’t make it taste good. I’ve learned I do not like rolls with seaweed or if it has it it must be on the inside covered with rice. The more types of meat and caviar (can’t remember Japanese name) and hotter the sauce the better it is IMO.
HEB sushi is actually pretty good, comparable to a regular sushi restaurant.
Ask for the omekase at any high end sushi joint, and you will most likely get the best of what the place has to offer. Chef's choice. be sure and buy the chef a beer or some sake. That goes a long way!
If you are ever in Vegas, hit up Kaya Sushi. It's a couple blocks west off the north end of the strip. AYCE for $26 per person. Really good. We went Thursday while we were there. Had we paid menu price for everything we ate it would have been well north of $100.

We did Omekase at Sushi Den in Denver last week. Ended up spending over $400 for 2 people. It was good, but it wasn’t THAT good. This was supposed to be the more casual of the two sister restaurants (we did Omekase at Izakaya Den next door before and ended up with a $330 tab), don’t think we will be doing that again in the near future. Wife checked the bill and said we ended up eating 19 pieces of fish each.
