tried Aoki after a recommendation by a coworker… still stand by OCHA’s 3 roll combo. Their shrimp tempura roll is sooo darn good.

I’ve been to the average 2 rolls and soup w/salad for around $10 places that have real crab. Again, I have to ask first if I’m in the mood for that. Last time I had it was a year ago at some place on the UWS.. can’t remember the name unfortunately. But if anyone is really interested I can ask my friend what the name is -she works up there.

I get the Cali roll so i’ll at least have a little bit of vegetables. My mother would be proud. :)

Who makes california roll with real crab?
The high-end places usually don’t serve california roll or would laugh at the notion…

I like a California roll if it’s real crab. I always ask beforehand, most of the time they admit it’s imitation so I pass. I do love real crab though, mummmm makes me hungry! Crispy salmon skin roll is good but I feel like it needs more substance, nevertheless the crunchiness and fattiness of it is amazing.

Eel avocado, spider roll (if they have that, if not crunchy spicy salmon or crunchy tuna roll), and salmon and avo roll.

I’ve had shrimp tempura but not in a roll, I could totally do that!

My god, who would ever order a California roll if they had other options? That’s the restaurant’s cost-saving default roll. The other choices here sound tasty–I’d do the tempura, eel-avocado, and probably a spicy roll.

If you like eel (and other stuff), you have to0 check out Funayama in the village–AYCE M/Th for $23. One of their awesome eel-avocado handrolls has more tasty eel and avocado in it than three of these ‘regular’ rolls. The other sushi is great too, esp. the scallop and tomago (egg). They also have a shrimp tempura roll–the handroll version is great. Handrolls rock.

Eel avocade, yellowtail scallion and depending on the day salmon skin or shrimp tempura….has anyone tried the rock shrimp roll?
