There is absolutely no way that you eat 8-10 full rolls (6 pieces each - so up to 60 pieces) at a place that sells gigantic Americanized cream cheese stuffed rice balls like yoyogi. Check out the pictures on yelp! These are not dainty.


Do it regularly. Several times a month at least. Sometimes several times a week.


I'm 5'4 165 and I love sushi and if I ate like you I would be another 40lbs heavier than you than I already I am. I want to pout and stomp my feet, metabolism is no fair.

I eat sashimi with miso soup and seawed salad no rice. Keeps me pretty full.

I'm shocked by the "big boy." Not only is that a ton of sushi, it is a ton of fat, cream, fried foods, etc.


I think you're confusing small sushi rolls with the maki-type large specialty rolls with cream cheese and all sorts of filling. (i.e. not really authentic sushi).

I think what the "big boy" listed are the teeny rolls. Something like this: http://www.sushiencyclopedia.com/how_to_make_sushi/how_to_make_sushi_rolls/how_to_make_thin_sushi_rolls.html

vs this: http://www.opensourcefood.com/people/aplaisia/recipes/soft-shell-crab-roll-or-spider-roll


No, he was very clear. You describe the type of roll that I eat - small, bite-sized pieces. He is clearly talking about fried food with cream cheese and a bunch of rice. Sushi only in that there is a seaweed wrap. The pictures of his spot are here:

What?! Are we talking about the same thing? My whole family can't eat 8-10 rolls.

Whole Foods sushi is nasty and way over priced. No good.

Sometimes if I'm desperate I may grab a small roll and a dozen or two of the shrimps dumpings from the seafood dept. Take it home, fry them shrimps dumpings up and mmmhhhmhmhmhmhmhmmmMMMM


I think it is delicious! Haven't had it in ages, though. I typically get 6 pieces of raw salmon on the rice, 4 pieces of ebi (cooked shrimp on the rice.) Always with extra ginger, some wasabi/soy, and sometimes edamame. I would get more but it is pricey $$$.

Clearly you've never been to Yoyogi Sushi. Each piece of their roll is easily twice the size of your "teeny" rolls. They are mongo and cheap.
