(Overall: 88% | B) - Overall, the service at Sushirrito is always a high as the workers are fast, efficient, friendly and always offering of free sauces on the side. The FiDi location I found to be a bit dim and the lack of seating makes it hard to compare with the Palo Alto location. Great food overall!
(Salmon Samba: 85% | B) - This sushi burrito is filled with tender and flavorful cooked salmon, asparagus tempura, and other veggies fresh from the garden. I found the creamy aioli to pair well with these components of the dish well. I found the asparagus tempura to be not fresh though as it looks like its separating from the batter.
(Buddha Belly: 70% | C) - On my quest to try every Sushirrito, I gave the Buddha Belly another chance. It seems like this burrito has actually been replaced with a new one on the menu since, but perhaps this feedback can still be useful. I think an eggplant-based sushirrito does have a lot of promise, but perhaps needs to be paired with bold flavors similar to the Chinese garlic chili eggplant dish. This burrito unfortunately pairs it with a lot of raw veggies consisting of mainly carrot, onions, and greens and the natural flavor does not work well to give the dish a flavorful lift which is much needed in my opinion.
(Fiery Chicken: 80% | B) - Next on the sushirrito list is the fiery chicken featuring chicken karaage. The flavors here are very appealing as the jalapeno gives this dish an interesting kick and the herb sauce adds a nice creamy balance. I did find the chicken to be significantly overfried though, making it rather hard to digest.
(Satori: 95% | A) - This sushirrito is quite refreshing -- the portion of hamachi is surprisingly plentiful and paired well with the fresh cucumber and the wasabi mayo that gave it a pleasant kick. Adding a crunchy additional crunchy element could elevate the texture contrast, but besides that this is a very well constructed sushirrito.
(Geisha's Kiss: 87.5% | B) - This tuna based sushi burrito is a classic favorite! The pairing of tamago cucumber tuna pickled pepper and lotus chips is conceptually interesting and ends up working well to add fresh vegetable flavors as well as a soft sweetness from the egg omelette. My only complaint is that the tuna has undesirable texture as if the freezing and thawing process destroyed the structure of the tuna.
(Latin Ninja: 90% | A) - The latin ninja is quite pleasant as the mango sauce is really flavorful and pairs with the raw salmon with beautiful marbling very well. I found the plantain chips to contribute negatively in terms of the taste, but they do add good texture.
(Sumo Crunch: 97.5% | A) - And finally, the sumo crunch, a classic I've posted about before! The sumo crunch is my favorite sushirrito as it elevates the classic california roll with a delicious sriracha aioli and an abundance of imitation crab, beautified with a crunchy red exterior of tempura flakes. One consistent problem I did find at this location was that, out of the 6+ times I ordered, the shrimp tail and shell was consistently not peeled.
