I have been binge watching sushi vids lately and yours is one of my favorites! It makes me sad when people only order sushi and not take any from the belt since isn't that half the fun? I also liked how you tried new things! That made me happy. Great job.
I’m glad you enjoyed my video! There wasn’t that much on the sushi belt while I was there. The place gets really packed, and it depends where you sit. You either get everything that comes out or just the left overs. So half the time I end up ordering from the screen.
I don't know who comes up with these rules about how to eat sushi. Dipping the rice first isn't a bad thing. I'm Japanese (but born and raised in Canada), been to Japan numerous times and when eating sushi, there's no 'rules' on how to eat it. In high end shops you'd eat it the way the chef serves it to you. In every other shop, you eat how you want to eat it. Great to see you out enjoying the food the way you want to eat it!
Congratulations🥳 on your record breaking meal...fatty tuna 🍣, "tastey little balls," et all!! Happy to hear iced tea was your beverage of choice, not sugary soda 👍👍 Bonus points for nicely groomed Movember chops 🧔🏻♂️
Hey thank you so much for that! I am actually now living in Bangkok Thailand. I moved here a week ago. I’m gonna be bringing lots of local food, travel and adventure content. Be sure to subscribe and you can also follow me on Instagram or post daily stories @lifewithsergey
I’m excited to go to the Kura where I live. So I’m just living vicariously through videos til then. Also tamago/tamagoyaki is Japanese style omelette. Some are sweet and some are more savory. I do know there’s a variation that has kamaboko(fish cake you see in ramen) mixed in for a New Years dish I believe.
Cool video. Glad it popped up. They just opened one in San Antonio at the Quarry Market. I seriously can't wait to CHK it out now. I love mochi too. It's glutenous rice pounded into the smooth sticky texture. 😋
Yeah I knew they were opening up in San Antonio. Definitely go check it out. I’m actually now living in Bangkok Thailand. Got here last week. I’ll be making all sorts of food and travel content. If you like sushi follow me along!
@@LifewithSerg Now that's a change of scenery! Very cool. Also, I am addicted to sushi 🤣. So heck yeah. Can't wait to see your upcoming videos. Subscribed 👍
@@LifewithSerg Sweet! I'll def give a follow on your insta. I love food and travel channels. So much amazing, unique and sometimes scary street food to see.
Awesome video. Very informative. Kura Sushi just opened up in San Antonio, heading there for a late lunch today. Your video was perfect in showing me what to expect and how to navigate the touch screen & conveyor of sushi. Thanks much. I really enjoyed your video! 👍
I’m glad you enjoyed the video and have fun at the new Kura! I’m heading over to Thailand in four weeks and I’ll be traveling throughout Southeast Asia making food, travel and adventure videos. Stay tuned for lots of fun stuff to come!
Late comment, but I've always wondered what the tomago (sp?) was made of and never tried it. We're going tonight so I'll definitely give it a shot! I also didn't know Kura used real crab in their CA rolls, so I'll be eating some of that too. Great video! Thanks!
Oh yeah! I think it just opened actually. It’s not the best quality sushi, by any stretch of the imagination. However, it’s definitely a fun place to go. Definitely go try it!
I worked at Kura Sushi this past summer, and I hate to break it to you but the "real crab" California roll actually does use imitation crab. They use this thing called "crab mayo" which is basically imitation crab mixed with mayo and some other ingredients. I was usually making nigiri but I also made some gunkan and seared nigiri, and I was also taught how to handle the noodle station a couple days before I quit. While I'll admit their food isn't terrible, it kinda makes me look at it from a different perspective since a good portion of the menu items I know how to make lol
That sucks that they use imitation crab in a row that supposed to be real crab. Kura definitely does not have the best sushi,not by any means, but it’s a fun place to go to
Right? I honestly could’ve eaten at least another five plates, but I just didn’t wanna put myself into an uncomfortable mode for the rest of the day as I was already pretty full. Lol
Yeah, Your comment on one of my other videos saying that you missed some of my food review stuff made me realize that I have neglected that. I’ll try to do a better job of posting balanced content.
Their handrolls are a great bargain. I’ve never tried their soft shell crab because I’m just not a big fan of softshell crab. I’m happy to hear that you liked it! Thanks for watching Hayley.
I am thinking of going here for my birthday party and you really did help me decide ☺️. Is it true that the booths can fill with a max of 6 people? That's how many ppl would be there but thank you for your help this is amazing!!! You made everything sound so good and i have heard so many good reviews about this place!!! Thank you so much
almost all wasbi is just green died horseradish so you were spot on with the taste lol. real wasabi will be ground fresh usually at the table. its also much more subtle not "spicy" the way horseradish is
Tamago One of my favorites too. I put Wasabi in my soy sauce too and dip my sushi in rice first as well. 🤣 it just falls apart on me when I try and dip the fish in. Nice video
This looks so cool and a nice way to explore different sushi. However, what if you don't like something? Are you supposed to put it down the plate slot? What do you do?
I think I'll save conveyor belt sushi for Japan where it's 1/3rd of the price. I like to go to Sushi Bomb near Pittsburgh (Cranberry area, if I remember correctly). One price, all you can eat off the menu sushi. You only pay extra for drinks and if you have leftovers. Very high quality sushi there, and for less than $20/person, people can really get a great deal.
The eel roll looks delicious! I have never seen soy paper roll, I do not think we have that type of sushi in the Netherlands here, but I would love to try it ou!
I always think 15 plates is a bit too much to get the pon. I believe I ate less to get the pon in Osaka's Kura. I enjoy eating at US Kura though, usually order sushi via the tablet versus picking from belt, especially if i come in at an off-peak time. Their ramen are very salty on another note.
You should come down closer to New Braunfels and try Sakura in San Marcos off Aquarena Springs. Right before Texas State University and there’s one in Seguin off E Walnut St.
You know I was actually down there about two weeks ago. I walked into Sakura and looked around. They had maybe eight or 10 items at most on their sushi conveyor belt. I looked at their menu and it was mainly rolls and I just didn’t get a good feeling for the place so I walked out. Their all you can eat only included a handful of things and they charged extra for everything else. Just did not seem worth it to me.
@@LifewithSerg . I grew up in Austin Texas actually. My family moved there in 1969 and I just moved from the area five years ago to East Texas. Ate lots of great sushi in Austin over the years. I'm now jealous that they now have a rotary sushi bar. Always wanted to try one. I highly recommended DK sushi and Seoul Korean restaurant there in Austin. I am friends with the owner DK. I used to come eat his sushi and he'd come eat my oysters. I used to work the oyster bar at Captain Benny's Seafood Restaurant across from Capitol Plaza. Anyway great sushi if you haven't already tried them.
Ah good to know. I definitely plan on hitting Japan during my travels over the next year! I leave for Southeast Asia in 2 weeks. Follow me along for more food content!
I would absolutely say give sushi another go. But don’t go to a place like this. Find a higher end place so you can have some really good sushi. This is a fun place to go, but if you were wanted to try meat for the first time I wouldn’t take you to McDonald’s.
Hey a tip for ppl that want to try sushi (again): As he said, go to a really good restaurant for the freshness and quality that you deserve! Start with something without seaweed (I heard that’s what a lot of ppl don’t like) like salmon nigiri or if it’s the raw fish that you don’t like, try avocado nigiri or a roll with cooked tuna for example And then try your way up to some avocado maki to get used to the seaweed and then some salmon maki etc.. And I heard that having some soda also helps (I am not sure why, maybe as a palette cleanser?!) And try different sauces like soy sauce, spicey mayo, teriyaki dip! And if you don’t like it, you don’t like it! That’s perfectly fine :) These are just some tips I’ve heard over time and I am really hooked on sushi 😂🤌🏼
Common mistake with wasabi and soy sauce. Never mix wasabi in soy. Lightly dip sushi in soy, wasabi is usually already swiped in the sushi by the chef. Add wasabi on the sushi for extra wasabi taste.
I’m glad you liked my video. I can’t add subtitles for every possible language out there, so I choose not to put any subtitles at all. Thanks for watching.
i did a converor belt once. it was AYCE up to an hour. i was seated towards the end of the belt. all of the people near the kitchen where the belt started got everything first. i barely got anything and complained and the japanese staff just giggled in their usual "I dont know english" sort of way. it was a terrible experience. i barely got to eat my moneys worth. would never ever go back to a conveyor one. i now go to AYCE where i can sit at the barr, talk to the chef and get a decent amount and my moneys worth. ps. this is in las vegas
Honestly it wasn’t fatty. It was just like regular tuna. Kura is more of a novelty and fun place. It is not a place you go to if you want high quality sushi.
Well, I mean, If you want to talk about doing things wrong; you're not supposed to mix soy sauce and wasabi together. That's like mixing maranara and ranch.
Yes, traditionally you are supposed to put wasabi between the fish and rice and dip the sushi, fish side down, into the soy sauce. I am well aware of this. BTW, it’s spelled “marinara”, if you want to talk about doing things wrong. Lol
You know, I went and checked that place out once. There was maybe six or eight things on the whole sushi built during lunch and it just didn’t seem that great to me. I ended up walking out and having something different for lunch. Can you tell me your personal experience there? I’m willing to give it another try.
Aha. Ok good to know. Unfortunately, I am leaving Austin next week and I will be traveling through Thailand and Southeast Asia. I’m definitely going to be making lots of food content, so follow me along on this journey through Southeast Asia!
you should start watching korean mukbangers... they eat 100 plates and more!!! and mochi is made with rice... inside you can have many fillings, but mochi is made with rice. And your sushi's kept falling apart because they are not well made... or maybe you dip them too much in soy sauce!
Yes I know that my cheese made with rice, I just wasn’t thinking. And as I mentioned in this video, this is not the best quality sushi. The people that make the Mukbang videos eat so much it’s amazing!
Yep. I’ve had real wasabi, totally different taste and consistency. I’ve hit a few sushi spots that used real wasabi, but typically only the higher end places. Thanks for watching!
Yep I know that, I actually even mentioned that I was doing it incorrectly in the video. Lol. Old habits die hard. Honestly, if I’m at a nice place I will often eat sushi with my hands, as you’re traditionally meant to do. Thanks for watching Charles!
He he. It’s just the way I’ve always done it. I learned long ago that there are many different ways to accomplish most things in life. Thanks for watching!
