not bad for dublin! i'm actually pretty impressed. you see, we're from california where there's a great sushi restaurant in every neighborhood, and i've been to japan so i'm a bit picky. for some reason i'd been craving sushi like my life depended on it so when i came across the good reviews of Michie i just had to give it a shot. we ordered a smathering of things off the delivery menu which was severely limited - basically all tuna and salmon and only available in combos; if you looked really hard, you could find a few odd nigiri (eel - yay, beef??? - not so sure what to make of that one). i'd really like to try the actual restaurant sometime so i can try more of a variety of things. so the sushi... we ordered the tuna combo (4pcs tuna nigiri, 6pcs tuna maki, 2pcs tuna ura maki which is an inside-out roll), the ura maki combo (2pcs each of salmon, tuna and california roll), and the temaki (hand roll) combo (1 spicy tuna, 1 "crispy salmon" which wasn't crispy, and 1 california). the raw tuna was spot-on. not fishy, the right shade of red, the right tenderness, even the cut and size was good. the tuna roll, however, was a bit of a mystery - one bite and i was like "i think this is cooked" and "i'm fairly sure it has onions in it" (what is up with the irish needing to put onions on and in everything???!!!). it was more of a tuna salad sort of mush and had a slightly gritty texture. it tasted good, it was just very strange; like something that belonged on toast, not in a roll. the spicy tuna hand roll was not especially spicy - it was strips of tuna with a sort of seasoning powder sprinkled on it. i ended up making some of my own more traditional spicy sauce (japanese "kewpie" mayo + sriracha) and using that with it. i'm not a huge fan of salmon sushi so i only tasted the one salmon ura maki which was also a similar cooked & mushy mess to the tuna ura maki. not a fan. the hand roll i didn't end up eating because i was full and it didn't appeal. but i tasted a bit of the fish and it was definitely cooked, bland, and definitely not crispy as stated on the menu. i probably wouldn't have ordered it if it wasn't a part of the combo. oh, almost forgot - the california rolls featured those fake crab sticks (which are fine) and avocado, but no cucumber. i'm fairly sure they should have cucumber in them, but whatever. they were good. my only major complaint besides the lack of choices on the takeaway menu was that there was just WAY TOO MUCH RICE in the rolls - like they were twice the size they needed to be and i ended up picking off over a cup of rice and tossing it. overall it definitely hit the spot and i'll be eating from them again. i may even grow to love the strange tuna salad sandwich mush with onions :) read more
