Hulli mulli, I have some bad sushi in Chitown for sure.I forgot that up in The Windy City, ya'all still use horse & buggy to transport food and such...
Size? Yes, I agree...
Price? Most definitely agree...
Freshness? Well, call me a sushi snob - but I choose my sushi joints very carefully... No guarantees of course, and I have experienced some bad stuff (although not in long time now...). But more often than not, I'll let a few others be the guinea pigs if a new joint pops open...
