On the suggestion of one of our readers: M - J and I hit the all-you-can-eat sushi belt at O Sushi. My first impression: a casino buffet in Reno, Nevada.Now, the food was pretty good - especially great for those of you who love sushi, but hate raw fish. There were numerous iterations of the California Roll (deep fried, with chicken katsu, with BBQ sauce, with spicy sauce, deep fried with BBQ and spicy sauce, etc.), and very few rolls with raw fish. Since J and I were sitting about 14 down from the beginning of the belt, the people ahead of us were getting the good rolls before us.
J ate many a plate of chicken katsu (one extra plate just to wash down a bad-tasting spicy tuna roll), and also sampled the gamut of California rolls. It was probably the first time in T2 history that J has eaten more sushi than me, though his 6 plates to my 4 were due to the fact that I'm highly allergic to avocado, and nearly every roll had some.
Maybe what was Reno-creepy about O Sushi was the decor: it is strangely different from other decor in the Southcenter area - dark, and even kind of fancy in a 70s sort of way. Or maybe it was the player piano and the mysterious, invisible tambourine? Or maybe it was the oodles customers, who were most likely in Tukwila on business (O Sushi is located in the belly of the I-5 Best Western), bellied up to the sushi belt who couldn't stop staring at us?Anyway, all you can eat California rolls for $8.95 is a pretty great deal, and since the food was better than Sushi Land, I could see myself there again.
Today B, J, the Bird Killer and myself went to Mali Thai where the food was horribly soggy, the wait staff are no longer hot, and the service was manic. We should probably stick to Simply Thai... We attempted to make it all better with some fro yo at ceFiore, and for a time - it helped.
O Sushi scores:
Food: 3/5
Atmosphere: 3/5
Good times: 2/5 (the staring and bad tuna makes it less fun)
