The Bistro at the Strand

放了老干妈的California roll 可还行

Bad

You need to wait for such a long time

I have mixed feelings with Bistro. First of all, there's nothing wrong with the taste of the food itself, in fact, it's pretty nice. The problem is.... there's a lot of problems. The sushi is not real sushi, and NO one puts cream cheese in sushi. Sure it works but it's the equivalent of pineapple on pizza to Italian. Second, seaweed salad is not making a normal salad with different types of seaweed. It doesn't work and I'll never order it again... EDIT: Third, the wait time here's always longer than the other places on campus. With the new quarter starting, it only became worse. I ordered a takoyaki this Thursday, the estimated wait time is 16min but I waited for more than 50 MIN! Also, the bowl contains 3 pieces of takoyaki. Can you believe it?! 50mins for 3 pieces. The wait is not worth it. Either order it wayyyy ahead of time or go to another place.

Nice to have a sushi option on campus that also accepts dining dollars. The Bistro is a bit far from the rest of campus. Almost a 20 minute walk from Revelle college. The sushi rolls taste good, similar to some sushi restaurants off campus, but it is a bit pricey.

Wait time too long, rude cashier, burnt ribs, oily as hell, sushi is lacking in fish... ._. Bruh everyone hyped up the bistro so much :c
