Sushirrito

About once a quarter, I am able to take a moment to get out of my building for lunch.  Today was one such great day.  I was able to walk off some of Sunday's half marathon soreness and meet Casey for lunch at Sushirrito, one of the most currently-hyped additions to the SOMA lunch scene.

Three Amigos Roll
Imagine the flavor profile of sushi on the scale of a burrito and that's what you get at Sushirrito.  It has hints of deliciousness but in general too much rice (and not enough spice).

The Three Amigos combines tuna and salmon with avocado and tobiko for an uber-fresh tasting roll.  It comes with wasabi mayo which was hardly noticeable, but way more like mayo than like wasabi.   I would have loved either a side of soy to dip this in, or some dimension on the flavor.

Crispy Ebi Roll
The Crispy Ebi roll was way more my style.  Tempura sushi (irresistible) combined with a splash of crab meat, avocado, and sriracha crema.  It reputedly had pepperjack cheese as well as plantains, but I can't say I noticed either one.  And again ... I could have used more sriracha! 

Sushirrito was a filling and mostly tasty way to spend a lunch hour but I hope they make some tweaks to their proportions.  Next time I venture out, I am going to chase down a food truck for some JapaCurry or perhaps a little Chairman Bao, both becoming regulars within walking distance!  Check your Twitter feeds for locations by day...
