Food review: Maguro sashimi (red tuna)
















(maguro is red)

Restaurant: Red Box Sushi (San Francisco)
Food description: Raw slices of red tuna sashimi
Food rating: 4.5 out of 10
Times ordered: 1

Ok... before you flame me for giving something from Red Box Sushi a 4.5, as you can see I've only ordered this once, so I will have to check it again and update the post / post a new message if it improves. First off, I had such high hopes!! It looked so beautiful - really the presentation here is exquisite. So after admiring the layout it was extremely disheartening to bite into the maguro and get... mushy flavorlessness? I mean you know when you sometimes get that over-refrigerated or twice frozen feeling about sashimi. I got it. It was mealy and tasteless and I really don't have anything else to say about it. If you have had the Red Box maguro sashimi and it was good, please post your experience in the comments so we can get an idea if this is common with them - thanks!

Also, note for those who like Kirin beer, they do not have it here.
