In
this
day
and
age,
I
wouldn't
recommend
impulsively
going
somewhere
for
sushi
-
this
was
our
third
stop
in
a
frenetic
15-minute
period
of
walking
up
to
the
doors
of
restaurants
only
to
realize
they
were
only
processing
to-go
orders.
In
my
experience,
most
sushi
establishments
are
still
super
skittery
about
COVID,
and
the
chances
that
the
place
you
pick
has
sit-down
dining
right
now
is
pretty
much
a
coinflip.
That's
on
us
though
-
we
were
naughty
and
didn't
do
basic
due
diligence
beforehand.
My
chum
and
I
had
lunch
here
yesterday.
It's
a
spot
we've
been
to
before
(notably
after
an
unsettling
Nocturnal
Animals
screening
a
few
years
ago
that
led
to
some
animated
conversation
about
Amy
Adams
over
some
edamame)
for
both
sit-down
and
take-out,
and
it's
been
a
solid,
reliable
destination.
My
go-to
sushi
restaurant
for
special
rolls
is
Kenko
Sushi
in
Lincoln
Park,
so
it's
a
little
unusual
for
me
to
venture
beyond
my
comfort
zone
in
that
regard.
We
both
usually
end
up
going
down
the
rabbit
hole
of
exotic/special
rolls,
and
this
adventure
was
no
exception.
I
went
with
the
Godzilla
Roll
and
the
Verona
Roll
(both
$11.50).
They
were
both
very
good,
though
the
winner
by
a
slight
margin
was
probably
the
Godzilla
Roll
-
I
have
a
weakness
for
the
fried
ones,
and
I
find
that
they
hold
together
much
more
easily
than
"regular"
rolls,
which
is
helpful
when
the
pieces
require
two
bites
instead
of
one.
The
Verona
is
solid
-
my
chum
got
a
Titanic
Roll,
which
looked
exactly
the
same
from
the
outside
but
had
shrimp
instead
of
salmon
within
the
roll.
Was
any
of
this
mind-blowing,
astounding
sushi
that
I'd
go
out
of
my
way
to
sample?
No,
but
I
don't
think
it
needs
to
be
anything
more
than
a
place
you're
comfortable
popping
into
from
time
to
time.
The
service
was
very
good
on
the
whole.
Our
food
came
out
pretty
quickly,
and
it
seemed
like
they
had
some
takeout
orders
to
juggle
simultaneously
as
well.
The
waitress
was
a
little
overaggressive
in
bussing
our
table
and
grabbing
the
check;
I
literally
still
had
a
final
bite
of
sushi
in
my
mouth
when
she
swooped
in
to
take
the
plate
from
under
me.
And
after
giving
us
the
bill,
she
came
back
about
a
minute
and
half
later
to
grab
it
and
we
had
to
quickly
tell
her
that
we
hadn't
even
opened
it
to
put
payment
in.
It
was
pretty
empty
in
there
too,
so
it
wasn't
an
issue
of
needing
to
turn
over
the
tables.
But
honestly?
I'd
rather
have
too
much
service
than
too
little
these
days.
I
tend
to
think
of
Montclair
as
a
pretty
overrated
food
town,
but
Nori
is
a
solid
contributor
that
provides
a
decent
counterargument.
