Open sushi at @sushistar.gate jounieh – September 2018 Crazy salad + open makis for 50 000 LL (33.3$) Hamra Branch

This is the 3rd recent time I eat at this place, in order to give it an accurate review.

Pros:

Good quality of salmon. Fresh and having a good fish taste. Rich ingredients, crab 🦀 shrimp 🦐 and salmon; and very little rice in pieces, as opposed to some other restos offering open sushi and adding too much rice to get you full faster. Good variety in pieces offered.

Cons:

Too much sauce in everything: The crab salad had too much mayo. The pieces had too much sauces.
Even though most of the time less rice is better, but almost no rice in pieces made them not hold well together.
And sauces + fish with almost no rice got us a bit nauseous and we couldn’t eat as much as usual.
Finally the crispy pieces had almost no crispy on them (check picture 5).

Conclusion: The quality of salmon is usually good (I had a bad experience with not fresh salmon once at Zalka) and the environment is welcoming; fixing the mixes of the pieces would significantly improve the experience. Not a bad place overall.
