Sushirrito

The first time I went to Sushirrito, my roommate and I decided to go on a Saturday afternoon. But, to our surprise, once we arrived, it was closed. We later found out that it is only open from Monday to Friday from 11 to 3. So, the next week, my roommate and I went back to Sushirrito on a Friday around 12 and sure enough it was open. I think that the time they are open for business is pretty inconvenient for those people who are not free during their lunchtime. It limits Sushirrito’s market to a couple different types of customers. For me, I felt it was sort of a hassle to get there just to see that it was closed and have to come back again when it was open, just to try it out.

Sushirrito is located in SOMA on 59 New Montgomery Street, a block or two away from the Montgomery Muni Stop. It is located around many business buildings and other food places such as McDonalds, Jamba Juice, Starbucks, etc. When you walk into Sushirrito, I noticed how small it was. Inside, there was only a small room where people would stand in line to order, a condiment table, a counter where they would make the food, the kitchen in the back, and the cash register. I was actually surprised that it was just a take-out spot but it made sense to make it that way because Sushirrito is only open for a couple of hours. According to Sushirrito’s website, Sushirrito offers, made-to-order, hand-held sushi burritos stuffed with savory Asian and Latin-infused ingredients and flavors.” On their menu, they have six different sushi rolls (sushirritos) ranging from $8.00 to $10.50 and two different sides, lava nachos and a side order of rice chips costing, $7.00and $1.50 respectively. To me, I thought that Sushirrito was a bit overpriced for their food but then considering how much six individual sushi cost at other places, their prices are reasonable. The Sushirrito that I ordered was the Sumo Crunch ($8.50) which contained shredded crab, cucumber, avocado, shaved cabbage, green onions, red tempura flakes and Sriracha Aioli for a sauce. The food itself was very delicious but the serving size was a little bit smaller than a burrito you would get a Mexican restaurant. All in all, I would give Sushirrito a 3 out of 5 compared to Yelp’s rating of 3.5 out of 5.  I think that the price of their food items are costly compared to the amount of food they serve. But even though I am not fully satisfied with the amount of food, I am content with the quality of it. The sushirritos taste fresh and very delicious. Each of the ingredients that go into each Sushirrito do not taste as if they had been stored in the fridge for days. Another reason why I would give Sushirrito a three is because I think the days and hours that it is open is inconvenient for a lot of people that are not around the area that it is located in. All in all, I would recommend Sushirrito to sushi lovers and people who have a little more than a couple of bucks to spend. I think Sushirrito is one of those food places that you would go to every once in a while because it is on the pricier side of take-out of food.
