Would demolish, but that promotional photo is just so… unappetizing. The lighting on the fish, the random sauce packets… It screams „My stomach is going to kill me and my eyes will be full of worms”.

Been eating at this place for years, for sure not the best sushi in town but it works for me on rush hour. It's a clean place and its kinda obvious the ppll there are not familiar with "real" or "tradicional" sushi. For me it's fine, if i really want a good time and experience this is'nt the place.

Edited: For context, this restaurant has other places that i go to

Also, if it's a to-go cup, you could always just make your own steamed rice at home in a rice cooker and/or eat it with a little bed of lettuce or cucumber slices, whatever you want to do.

Since the salmon is the hardest part to prep safely at home, it makes sense that you buy it pre-made, but you don't have to eat it straight from the cup.

Here is your cup of flesh. We added globs of semi solid milk fat. Please enjoy.

u/ethnicvegetable 23d ago

Where is the rice and the nori? Nothing about this says temaki

6

u/JonnyOnly 24d ago

No rice and no nori also. There is a lot of places here selling this and advertising it as a "Cup temaki". Most of them have rice tho, but this one don't so it's more expensive.

1

u/TheShadowOverBayside 23d ago

Yeah, that's nonsense, that's not a temaki in any way, that's just sashimi cubes

u/belaGJ 21d ago

nothing about this says sushi

u/Hazzat 24d ago

Featuring neither te (hand) or maki (roll).

u/ElsenniorX 24d ago

That’s salmon and cream cheese in a cup, it doesn’t even have the shape of a cone.

I would it but with less cheese

u/ManEatingYoukaiRumia 23d ago

isn't this just poke but worse..?

1

u/TheShadowOverBayside 23d ago

Nah, poke technically has to be marinated in poke marinade to be poke and this fish does not look marinated, this is just sashimi cubes and some nasty-looking white shit

2

u/belaGJ 21d ago

I have eaten a lot of poke in Hawaii that were not “traditionally marinated”, just some sashimi salad, so I would say this is closer to poke

2

u/TheShadowOverBayside 21d ago

That's not poke. That's sashimi salad. Even Hawaii has corrupted what poke actually is, particularly in the big tourist towns where the tourists come to eat poke but expect the bullshit they find on the mainland pretending to be poke.

Real poke can be served over rice, salad, anything else, or nothing at all. But it has to be raw fish marinated in poke marinade.

2

u/belaGJ 21d ago

I am saying it is much closer to a fked up poke, than to a fked up sushi. By the way, Hawaii has a big Japanese population going back 100+ years, so I wouldn’t be surprised if poke had all kind of bastardized variations well before the tourists.

1

u/TheShadowOverBayside 21d ago

Well I agree that the shit in that cup is not sushi, lol

To me it is neither poke nor sushi in any way, it is raw salmon cubes with what looks like cream cheese? If anything it's Northern or Eastern European food - all it needs is dill, lol - except the raw salmon is probably not smoked or cured like those cultures do it

comeria fácil

u/Remote-Driver6419 23d ago

Temaki (手巻き) means literally "hand-roll" because you roll the norimaki with your hands. Only thing rolling here are my eyes when I see this abomination of language and sushi

2

u/Lafozard 23d ago

preciso nem perguntar o país

2

u/phredbull 23d ago

Might actually be ok to eat, but it's neither sushi nor maki.

1

u/Even_Stage5862 23d ago

What.the.fuck.

u/Even_Stage5862 23d ago

Your first mistake will be getting sushi at “Ming Oriental”. Get the fried rice instead

2

u/JonnyOnly 23d ago

Strange and true story

They have had only chinese food for about 2 years, in their old restaurant, but they started serving "sushi" (at least the most popular shit like hot rolls and anything with salmon and cream cheese on it) because dumb ppl kept asking for it because they are asians. Owner told me this is a lot more prifitable than noodles so they are even opening this new point

3

u/Even_Stage5862 23d ago

So many red flags in that story… never mind, don’t get the fried rice either

1

u/NiobiumThorn 23d ago

I don't get it. Why all the cream cheese? Ik in Brasil cream cheese is different than cream cheese in North America, but that still seems ... excessive.

1

u/hors3withnoname 23d ago

It’s not different, it’s the same Philadelphia. They just use that instead of the avocado Americans use

1

u/AcornWholio 23d ago

So I guess “temaki” just means any old crap, eh?

1

u/TheShadowOverBayside 23d ago

Language is worthless anymore

1

u/phredbull 23d ago

There's no "maki" of any kind here.

1

u/Sir_CrazyLegs 23d ago

I swear that wasabi packet looks like the ones you can get from costco sushi platters

2

u/phredbull 23d ago

It's all the same shit; powdered horseradish & coloring

1

u/hors3withnoname 23d ago

“Ming oriental” lol that’s the cheapest Japanese food you could find

1

u/TheShadowOverBayside 23d ago

I mean, the name "Ming Oriental" says it should be Chinese food... No one who orders "sushi" at a Chinese restaurant has the right to complain when it sucks, lol

That's like going to a Brazilian restaurant and asking for tacos 😂

2

u/hors3withnoname 23d ago

Haha and it’s a Chinese restaurant in Brazil. That’s what you get

1

u/TheShadowOverBayside 23d ago

Yup, Brazil is the reigning kings of ruining every foreign food they get their hands on lol

2

u/JonnyOnly 23d ago

Ceviche, traditional food fro Peru, is one of the most consumed itens in brazilian rodízios ("all you can eat") in sushi restaurants lol. People are just dumb and have no idea what theyre eating.

1

u/belaGJ 21d ago

not sushi, but something like that can be good (like pokky salads)
