I used to be able to pick a random sushi place from a delivery list and just get decent sushi 8 out of 10 times. Decent, not amazing, I have yet to find a place that does delivery that has amazing quality (Itamae sushi sure charges as if they did, but yeah... no).
However, nowadays, I am straight up finding places that are substituting philly cheese with plain cream cheese in their pieces (not even creamy casamcrem! just this bitter tasting generic cream cheese). Obviously when you call and ask they swear up and down it is philly cheese, and since I am not a fan of getting my food spat on, I'd rather not get into a heated argument with my food handlers.
First of all, yes, I know, the sushi pieces that have Philadelphia cheese are not traditionally Japanese and all that jazz. But I really like my salmon/avocado/philly rolls and I would like to be able to order them without fearing that I am getting mendicrim in them. Have you guys ran into this situation, and do you have any places that are your go-to for good (and up!) quality sushi delivery? I used to like Sushi Club (around 7 years ago) but I am now hesitant to risk it. :\
I am having to stick to sushi pop, satoyi (which used to be much much better 6 years ago) and wasabi's, just because I at least know the ingredients are half decent. Itamae is decent, but how much more expensive it is than the rest vs how much better it is just does not even out. An actually good sushi place, that alas, does not deliver, is Irifune. Furusato used to be good to, but haven't been there in ages.
And of course, do you have any sushi places you will NEVER order from again because of how shitty their quality is? My number one in that list is Sushi Prem and remember, I am ok with "meh" sushi sometimes, this was just awful.
