But sushi in Illinois? Not so much.
When I was in California for BlizzCon 2016 Opening Week, I ate a lot of sushi. There was a sushi place across the street from the hotel in which I was staying that had some pretty good sushi for a pretty good price – it was a little under $14 for a decently-sized lunch combo. (If you scroll down and look at some of my old posts from BlizzCon, this is the same sushi place that forgot to give me chopsticks one time, so I ate my food with two coffee stirrers.)
BlizzCon Opening Week is over now, and I’m back in my home state of Illinois. I went to a restaurant today called Ginza Buffet, which had an all-you-can-eat lunch option for only around US$12. The best part is that they had a sushi area.
The sushi here is (obviously) not as high-quality as the actual sushi restaurant in California (seeing as Ginza doesn’t seem to specialize in sushi), but the low price makes up for the slightly less delicious fish. I only took a photo of one of my plates, but overall, I had about three times as much sushi as what is shown in the photo (in addition to a little bit of other food and dessert).
If high-quality sushi was cheap, I’m pretty sure I would eat it every day, seeing as it seems to be healthy (at least it logically makes sense – it doesn’t come with any of the added grease, and people eat fish oil pills to maintain heart health anyway).
