Our grocery store just started selling sushi. I don't know how to feel about this. So far, it just feels... awkward.

    The Safeway near my work has a sushi chef. It is actually decent sushi if you need a quick fix.

    I like california rolls. You really can't screw them up.

    I've had it from a few places, it's not that bad. Make sure it's pretty fresh, of course.

    My local Sunflower Market prepares it on-site, and it's tasty.

    I tolerate the "natural foods" and patchouli smell in there, just to get the sushi.

    Depends on the store. I've tried, and it settles my sushi craving until I can get the real thing. And they have a calories on there so that's helpful. Wegman's has seaweed salad and its truthfully not that bad!

    I've had it once or twice and i'm hear to tell the tale. But I do have a pretty strong constitution.

    This. As long as the sushi chef is on the premises, it's okay.

    Yup.. The store that has a sushi chef makes some reasonable sushi here.

    I buy a package now and then and am always disappointed. It's over priced and just not as tasty as going to a sushi bar or making it yourself.

    I will still do it though, when I'm feeling lazy or out shopping and don't want to cook that night, but it's always dissatisfying afterwards.

    Life's too short to eat grocery store sushi.

    Added: I like the stuff they don't have in grocery stores anyways. Uni, Amaebi, Toro. They mostly have rolls.

    Our local Safeway makes it fresh and it's decent. But I'd rather order a roll in advance from a Sushi restaurant instead.

    Man....I'm dying for sushi now. Hate to go alone though. Anyone can get to Portland by 4pm, let me know. I'm buying.

    I've done it when I had a craving for a roll but didn't want to go to the restaurant alone. I actually watched the sushi chef (of Asian persuasion) make it yesterday at the local Reasor's, bought some and it was quite good.
