Mixed feelings about this place.
~$14 for a two protien sushi burrito, which is a really good price. This includes, with no surcharge, seaweed salad, and a bunch of toppings. Cream cheese and avocado are extra, but not unreasonably, especially since the avocados are freshly sliced and not precut, sitting out oxidizing.
The atmosphere is good. Nice and bright. A good place to sit down, have a boba, and just relax to brighten my day.
What was disappointing was the taste of the sushi burrito itself. The raw freshwater salmon wasn't slimey or fishy, but it lacked its own salmon flavor. I love sashimi, so the pink salmon color totally mislead me to expect a deep flavor. I had the spicy and regular salmon, and I found this was the case for both.
Additionally, the rice with nori was oily and had this bitter taste. I'm not sure if it was sesame oil that had been open to the air too long or what, but it left an unpleasant taste in my mouth and clashed with the flavors of the filling. The flavor would have probably gone nicely with kimbap roll (which is why I think it's sesame oil), but it didn't really match the flavor of the sushi burrito itself.
The overall taste of the burrito was fine. It wasn't bad, but it was also something I wouldn't find myself craving. If I were a local, I would see myself coming back for an affordable bite, but as a tourist, I would go to a better place for a little extra of a cost.
