Not quite as besotted by Daily Sushi as some of my fellow Yelpers. It may be because we choose to eat in, and it's apparent that DS is mainly carry out. It also may be that we sort of went out of our way to go there, and while it might be great if it's ten or fifteen minutes away, it's not quite a destination. Or, it could be that I had been craving sushi, and DS just didn't quite scratch that itch.
Daily Sushi didn't put its best foot forward food-wise, either. I tried both wonton and miso soup. The wonton soup broth was mild, and the wontons mostly wrappers with some stir fried piece of beef. The miso also suffered from being too subtle, and was lacking that great umami that normally makes that soup so craveable.
The first dish up was one of my dining companion's General Tso's chicken. This lunch special was the winner of the afternoon. The dish was great, and it came with some of the best fried rice I've ever had. It was also a generous portion at a fair price.
Other dining companion had Salmon Lover's combo meal. He was pleased with the salmon sashimi, but underwhelmed by the many little rolls that made up the dish.
I had the lunch special of two regular rolls. The California roll was a good size, and a good amount a filling to rice, however the filling itself wasn't well proportioned and it had way, way too much surimi. It really needed the crunch of the cucumber and that was hard to find. The eel and cucumber roll was nothing special.
A few pet peeves: While we were greeting when we entered, we got menus and seated ourselves. We were told someone would take our order. When that person didn't materialize, we had to ask again and ordered at the counter. Also, while food came on actual, non-disposable plates, we were given plastic utensils. (Wood in the case of chopsticks.) It would be nice if they took the extra step and had washable, reusable forks, knives, spoons, and chopsticks. They need to wash the dishes anyway!
And finally, while I'll need to go elsewhere to fill that sushi craving, I plan to return when I'm in the area for American-Chinese food. Will update when I do. I'll just pretend it's called Daily American-Chinese!
