Rating: Kind of a mess
I was in a rush to go to work after a Doctor’s appointment and passed by the Activision parking lot and its array of food trucks.
Unfortunately I had to wait 10 minutes for them to open because it was before noon, but I decided to try the “Sushi Burrito” since I’m such a sushi nut.
The menu of fairly typical “roll” contents. Now, I’m not a fan of these kind of rolls even when they come from a real sushi bar. I pretty much knock several points off any sushi place that even serves the like of “Spider Roll.”
Lobster Burrito. The “burrito” is a soy paper wrapped log.
Inside is a messy mix of rice, sweet sauce, avocado, imitation crab, and crawfish. There is no real lobster, only the crawfish, which while not bad tasting by itself, is pretty cheap stuff. The whole thing just tastes like rice and sweet sauce and maybe a bit of avocado. It turned into a total mess too as soy paper is very soft and chunks of it were falling all over the place into an ugly pile.
I’m not a fan. It just tastes like an extra sloppy version of one of those generic rolls – namely rice & sweet sauce. It was fast (except for the 10 minutes waiting for them to open) and moderately cheap. That’s about it. As a fusion, it’s certainly not an improvement in any way except that it’s easier for them to make in the truck than any kind of normal sushi. Just slop in the ingredients and roll.
