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.

u/TheShadowOverBayside 23d ago
Yeah, that's nonsense, that's not a temaki in any way, that's just sashimi cubes

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

u/hors3withnoname 23d ago
It’s not different, it’s the same Philadelphia. They just use that instead of the avocado Americans use

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

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.

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”.
