Okay, okay, this thread convinced me! I bought a sushi making kit (with bamboo mats and rice paddles and such) several months ago but haven't tried it out yet, and this thread convinced me to give it a try. Today I bought two sushi cookbooks but before I make it myself I am going to have my husband take me out for sushi for my birthday on Friday. It'll be fun to try something new for my birthday and I need to try it at least once before I attempt to make it myself! LOL
I hope I like it because it'd be a shame to get something I hate on my birthday, but even if I hate it I could just order some tempura or something. There is a Japanese steak house just down the street. They serve steaks, hibachi, tempura and sushi, so I figured it'd be a good place to go because my husband doesn't want sushi.
Thanks for the tips, everyone! I think I will try some vegetarian sushi and also some california rolls with crab as you suggested, tayloryum. Rowan, I think soy sauce will be good for me. I've always enjoyed soy sauce. Mule, I might try a dash of wasabi in soy sauce just to see what it's like. Maybe I'll like it.
it's a lil weird but i judge how good a sushi place is by their tamago (egg). tamago is by far my favorite ending to any sushi outing...it's sweet almost like a desert.
best places i've found for tamago & sushi overall are the Fish Market in San Diego & Oishi here in the San Fernando Valley. both places get two

Few tips, if you want it nice & tastey, make sure you get your
hands on some spicy sauce, almost all good sushi spots got a
house spicy sauce, also figure out what you want inside like
tuna, negitoro, red snapper is amazing and tender, then pick
one of these, avacado [for best taste] or cucumber.
Make sure you ask how they prepare the rice, for best results.
Let us know how it goes, take pics if possible.

You're an idiot I'm a bodybuilder athlete.
You're an idiot too for using "your".
Enough said.
I love some and hate alot of them. For me the thing I hate is the sea weed. I have found that if you do not care for the taste of sushi odds are it is because you are eating the stuff with the sea weed. I have tried this with many of my friends who say they hate the stuff and when they tried some maguro or ebi or other sashimi (spelling) they loved it.
I'm a sushi fanatic...eat it 2-3 times per week, but trying to back off a little to avoid the whole mercury poisoning thing. I've only found one place, in Tokyo, that was better that the place around here.
