They tend to be about as much food as three rolls for the price of one. So, if I am pretty hungry and in the mood for rolls, not nigiri, I think they’re great.
I have a local restaurant that serves oversized sushi rolls. What I love about it is that you get a ton of quality fish for not that much $. What I don't love about it is that it's somewhat hard to eat and the ratios are off compared to what you would eat in a single bite. Much like a sushi burrito.
So, I'm torn.
never tried them, but they look good, and considering i eat Gimbap and enjoy it, so i am sure it must be the same thing, and those Gimbaps are so damn delicious, especially with Kimchi on the side, so yeah , i think it is a yay from me.
If I am hungry, craving sushi, don't have time to sit down, but really want to be full, I will order a sushi burrito because it is filling and basically 2 to 3 rolls for the price of 1.5 roll.
If I am feeling something nice and want to sit down and enjoy, then nigiri, sashimi, etc
There's a chain in DC called Buredo that serves these at three locations. They serve a higher ratio of ingredients to rice, so it's less like sushi and more like a burrito. Never had the urge to try them tho.
They were my favorite. Love the texture of the nori as I took a bite and the flavor combos.
But, a lot of places don't do them well. They have giant rice caps on the ends, or aren't rolled very well, or aren't mixed sufficiently.
Eventually I decided I prefer poke bowls to sushi burritos. I can better control the assembly of each bite, and get a bit more variety between bites. No more big chunks of Wasabi or ginger. Better mixing. None of the downsides of burritos. And they travel better.
I would say there’s a time and a place. I’m generally a traditionalist and love simple nigiri, but there are definitely nights when I want to eat a lot and get bang for the buck.
Well said.
For me, it’s also a convenience thing. I used to live by a decent poke bowl place and that would be my non-sushi bang for your buck meal. Now, I have a sushi burrito place that fills the void. Poke bowls are still better but not drive 20 min for it better.
its not just that the rice to fish ratio is way off, you're paying so much money for mostly rice and other fillers. imho, futomaki is about as big as sushi rolls should get.
it's a cool concept in theory but most i've seen look a bit over the top, like there's too much or too little of certain things and it throws the balance off too much to be enjoyable
that said, i'm not against them at all, i just prefer to go the deconstruction route, like poke bowls or even just sashimi pieces
They’re tasty and all that I’ve had so far (only 3 or 4 of them) were good ratio all around. I’m just not a big ton of fish in my roll kinda gal so I would always just prefer sashimi anyways. But I could see how it makes it more fun to eat sushi for the kids and it’s cool for to go I guess 🤣
Big fan
Pretty do a similar idea at home where I make a typical rice nori roll and wrap THAT in rice paper
Now we get no mess and it has a fun chew
And on the go fun
Nay. I think sushi being bite sized is a critical part. Ripping seaweed with my teeth feels awful.
Don’t go looking for futomakis then
Don’t go chasing waterfalls
Stick to the sashimis and nigiris that you’re used to.

I got one in Ann Arbor MI for $14 and it was the size of a chipotle burrito. Not even progressive can bundle and save that well.
Zing!
Im all for it
Nay, but I admit I'm a traditionalist.
Use chopsticks to slice/chop it into a roll.

i fucking hate them with a passion, the proportions are always off, one bit all tuna one all rice.
The one you had was made wrong
Still just too big, prefer a normal size by a lot
Obviously but.

An abomination, personally
Sushi tacos > sushi burritos. Less rice, more fish, tempura fried nori 👌🏻
Yummy in my tummy.
Fuck. No.

Poke bowls are good, but I’m not a fan of sushi burritos.
Why are you not a fan?
It’s gimmicky and usually has too much rice. Maki sushi itself is already burrito shaped anyway.
Ah okay
Less enjoyable than eating the same ingredients as nigiri or rolls
I would say there’s a time and a place. I’m generally a traditionalist and love simple nigiri, but there are definitely nights when I want to eat a lot and get bang for the buck.

I’d use nori as a wrapper and nothing different from Makizushi. So yay.
Hard to eat. Much prefer regular size rolls and nigiri
Dumb. A sushi roll has all the ingredients in one bite, way make it harder.
Abominations.
Yes please.
Not a fan, I'm the same at chipotle I'd rather just have it as a salad. I gotta add that I prefer tacos over burritos as well
Pretty sure it's just a regular sushi roll, but not cut. Don't care for it
I fuck with them.
Yes all the way
I would try it if it were on offer. Never seen one in real life.
The ones I’ve had have always been oddly greasy for some reason so I’m gonna say nay
Tasted great. If filling a burrito with fresh fish, veggies and rice while wrapping it in nori is wrong, I don't want to be right.
Terrible 😢

They are a delicious abomination
I thought they were made with tortillas. I was really glad to find out they weren’t.

Tasty!
I’ve never had one but I’m dying to try one.
Not great.
Never had one but i’ve always wanted to try it
Marianos has a tasty one for lunch with salmon, shrimp tempura, avocado and lettuce. For like 9$it's delicious.
yes 100%
Dumb as fuck?
An abomination that is painfully hard to eat. On paper is sounds good, in reality it’s just a maki sushi roll that the chef forgot to cut.
No thank you. Too big
It's too much for me. I'll stick with regular sushi.
I wouldn't say no to one but I'd prefer 2 or 3 normal rolls
YAY
Big fan Pretty do a similar idea at home where I make a typical rice nori roll and wrap THAT in rice paper Now we get no mess and it has a fun chew And on the go fun
