Mitoushi Sushi Review-Half the Price Without Compromising Quality

Do you enjoy eating sushi, but can’t afford to stomach the prices nowadays? You’re not alone. These days, most people are tightening their belts and cutting back on non-necessities, which include dining out. However, for that spicy salmon lover out there, there’s a little bit of hope in a little shopping center called Akron Plaza. It’s right off of Richmond Ave., across the street from Chilli’s on Akron St. In that shopping center resides a Japanese restaurant called Mitoushi Sushi. While Japanese restaurants are everywhere, this one has a slight competitive advantage over many of the others. While this recession has brought down the prices of homes and the prices of cars, Mitoushi Sushi has even brought down the price of sushi, by half. Welcome to the wonderful world of half price sushi that’s not half the quality.



Mitoushi Sushi offers all of your favorite rolls, including some very interesting specialty rolls. Their specialty rolls are good, but are regular price. But you’re not coming here for their specialty rolls. The real bargain lies in your everyday rolls. All of your basic rolls (i.e salmon, tuna, spicy salmon and tuna, eel avocado, etc.) are all $2.95, all day, everyday. I repeat, all day everyday. These aren’t weekday lunch specials. And the individual pieces of sushi are only $1.25 a piece all day every day as well. There are many restaurants on Staten Island that offer extravagant specialty rolls, with extravagant prices. And if that’s what you’re looking for, then I recommend going to Fushimi or even Sapporo. However, if you’re in the mood for a quick Sushi lunch or dinner, and don’t mind sticking to the basics, then you can’t go wrong with Mitoushi Sushi. Mitoushi Sushi offers good quality sushi at a price we could all swallow.

A Trendy, Fun and Delicious Piece of NYC, Rolled Up and Dipped in Staten Island

The coolest place to eat sushi this side of the Verrazano Bridge is without a doubt Fushimi, located at 2110 Richmond Rd. As soon as you walk through the double doors you notice that this isn’t your ordinary Japanese restaurant. Your eyes immediately dart back and forth between the multi-colored lights flashing on the floors, walls, ceiling and bar. Your ears are treated to the loud, yet pleasant club-like music that plays throughout the restaurant and your mind is telling you that you’ve just stepped foot into a trendy little lounge somewhere in the village in Manhattan. But then you refocus all of your senses and realize that not only are in Staten Island, but you’re standing in a restaurant about to sit down next to a family of 8 enjoying a massive plate of sushi with colors so bright that you think they’re painted.

Aside from the ubiquitous salmon and tuna rolls that show up in every Japanese restaurant, Fushimi has employed one of the most creative sushi menus that I’ve ever seen. Mixing all different kinds of fish, lobster, crab and fruits like Mango, Bananas and Papaya, there are combinations and rolls that no average person could think of on their own. But rest assured, every combination is supremely fresh, absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. While all of your basic rolls are average priced, around $5-$6, the special rolls will set you back about $16-$18 per roll. Each of the special rolls is divided into 8 large pieces, and 2 of these rolls are enough to satisfy most people. For those that aren’t into sushi, there’s a complete menu of amazingly delicious cooked fish dishes, along with different varieties of chicken and beef entrees. The truth is that you can’t go wrong with any dish that you choose.

Fushimi is a place you want to keep coming back to, not only because you will always find something on the menu that you want to try, but also because it’s a cool, trendy and inviting atmosphere where you want to hang out. - By special guest blogger Adam Steinhandler

Quality Meets Consistency: Sapporo Sushi Review!

Nestled in the back of the Blockbuster shopping center on Richmond Ave. and Victory Blvd. lies an established little Japanese restaurant called Sapporo. There, you’ll find a quiet and comfortable atmosphere, complete with traditional Japanese décor, Japanese music and the sushi bar. It’s a small restaurant with only about 15-20 tables, each with their own lit candles, so it makes for a very quaint and intimate atmosphere.

Sushi restaurants have become a dime a dozen on Staten Island and it’s rare to find one that blends quality, consistency and value like Sapporo does. I’ve been eating there for almost a decade now, and I’ve always found the fish to be exceptionally fresh, and the presentation to be creative and beautiful. Fresh fish, comfortable atmosphere, decent pricing and friendly service makes this one of my favorite Japanese restaurants on the island. - By special guest blogger Adam Steinhandler
