text: Andy the Sushi Guy nFast entertaining friendly and did I say fast No worries about standing in line and taking a few minutes of your busy day to watch Andy work his magic After all it is not often one can find a fresh fish market with the freshest sushi ingredients And you can bet Andy the Sushi Guy will not skimp on ingredients nWe stopped by on Saturday about lunchtime when Wholeys is packed with its Saturday shoppers which is it is usual crowded busyness Andys Special for the day Tuna Kiwi or Salmon Avocado FAT Rolls Yes the special of the day is usually a FUTO maki extraordinaire nWe ordered the Tuna Kiwi and Andys Sushi Combo nTuna Kiwi began with crispy dried nori seaweed topped with an ample amount of fluffy sushi rice Smeared on is Tobiko flying fish eggs with its bright orange color Just as you are admiring his steadfastness POP goes the rice ladened seaweed as Andy flips the seaweed to create a reverse sushi roll Folks I would have to disagree with another Yelper when they say that nori goes on the outside What is not to like about creativity And personally what is not to like about more ingredients that you can stick on the outside of a sushi roll Like Tobiko or sesame seeds hhmm nContinuing with the innerds of the Tuna Kiwi roll more Tobiko asparagus seared tuna with a light breading red leafed lettuce fresh tuna and kiwia la Andys Special of the day Roll up all of these and keeping it in tact so when the slicing begins all of the innerds remain in tact Whoosh Did you see how he picked up the whole futomaki fat roll and placed it in the clear togo container fan it out add an ample handful of shyoga thinly sliced pickled ginger and a hunk of wasabi no explanation needed with soy sauce in a mini condiment cup Sushi a la Andy the Sushi Guy at WholeysIt is what is for dinnernIf Andy did not cut the roll it would take two hands to pick it up and eat it like a ginormous fat burrito kind of like you would get in one of them hole in the wall TexMex joints down close to the border the US Border that is But it is cut into yummy slices and is done quickly without smushing down the circular form Instead admire the sliced sushi serving as you lay it flat and be amazed at the color and textures of the ingredients Not only does it have fresh fish but some veggies to add to your daily vitamin intake nThe only drawback and I think that is what some of the sushi connoisseurs are quick to point out is that the sushi rice is not seasoned Yes folks traditional sushi rice is seasoned with a slight glaze and a very subtle sweetness Now if Andy seasoned the sushi rice as sushi rice should be seasoned then I would have to give the guy at least a star rating fresh ingredients ample servings creativity appearance or presentation and seasoned sushi rice on top of all of that nI think I am going to have to defend Sushi a la Andy against the folks looking for traditional sushi in a sit down sushi bar You are not going to find it here And if that is the limit on your sushi palate then you are certainly coming to the wrong place For if you are looking for fast fresh and ample this is it The bonus Andy treats you with friendly hospitality and part of the Wholeys family
