Standing Sushi Bar

This evening, we finally managed to eat at Standing Sushi Bar!

T and I have been eyeing this place ever since we found out about the special 5 for $3 salmon sashimi deal *manic greed evident in our eyes*. We've been dyingggg to go but anyone who's ever been will know, it's really small and fuss-free and the line is really long!! Last week I managed to snag us a reservation and so we finally made it :)

Anyway, T and I loooove salmon sashimi!! I remember on our first date I ordered a plate and let him try, he was soooo repulsed because he hated the raw taste. But he soon acquired the taste for it, and I would like to take credit as the introducer-of-all-good-things to T hehe :) I mean look at him now!! I'm pretty sure a significant portion of his monthly expenditure goes towards supporting his aggressive salmon sashimi diet hahahaha.

5 sets of sashimi...but it wasn't enough HAHA

1/2 the food we ordered, with T cropped out ;)

As usual T and I over-ordered and our bill amounted to ~$80. It didn't turn out to be a cheap meal after all :( We had 5 sets of sashimi at first and this couple next to us kept staring in disbelief. Imagine their shock when we ordered two more sets!!! And btw T's yakiniku don set meal comes with sashimi as well hahaha. Please let there be no side effects of eating too much raw fish!!

Hmmm I would say Standing Sushi Bar is overrated though. Only the salmon sashimi is worth it, but everything else isn't that cheap - their prices are like Sushi Tei's? I guess it wouldn't matter if their food was of good quality because "worth" is more important, but T and I concluded that Sushi Tei's standard is muchhh better, both in terms of food and ambience.

How sad (for them) but we probably won't return :( we've definitely had better sashimi elsewhere!! And for the price I'd rather go to Irodori for better quality. I might be posting about Irodori soon ;) stay tuned!
