Competition For Sushi-Go-Round

Having been to both, I must say there isn’t much of a competition. Wasabi wins hands down. The sushi is fresher and doesn’t taste as if it was 2 day old fish. There are more choices- Wasabi’s conveyor belt features cooked foods and desert also.

I made the terrible mistake of ordering something from the menu at Sushi-go-Round. It took over an hour, three reminders to the server, and what I finally received was only three bites. No discount or anything. Yet another disappointing experience at a D.C. restaurant :-/

In Tom Sietsma’s online chat this past Wedensday, he also expressed dissapointment with Sushi-Go-Round.

I have had some decent experiences with Sushi-Go-Round, although I have not eatnen there in the last few months. Has anything changed in their kitchen? Perhaps they are not bringing in fresh fish enough? I think it is worth asking the owner while we trash his restaurant to see if there is an explaination. It seems to be a family-owned restaurant and the people who work there are very nice; please remember this is Chinatown and they are (thankfully) not a chain restaurant. I am curious if the people in the kitchen were trained in Japan (the owners are Thai).
