Sushi take out recommendations

[jorisw]

The only place I’ve liked for sushi so far - Washoku in SoHo - went on vacation.

Anyone know of any other sushi places that do take out or delivery that are actually run / led by a Japanese chef? Every other place I’ve tried always has this thick greasy layer of rice with every roll and just tries to mask bad ingredients with effects such as toppings of strips of crab stick.

To answer my own question, Neko comes close.

Its funny how some ethnic foods are popular in some countries but not so much in others. They seem to love sushi in BA but you will really struggle to find indian food for example.

There is a substantial Japanese/Argentine population. over 65,000 people. Which means a ready market, and a supply of experienced japanese chefs.
There are something like 2000 Indians. Hence the paucity of Indian food.
plus, Indian food is spicy, and argentines hate spicy food.

There are also almost no filipino, or indonesian, or nigerian, or somali, or mongolian, or algerian restaurants here.

Whereas in a city like Vancouver, you can find all of these and more.

You would barely know there were any Japanese folk in Argentina as Asians seem to all be refered to as Chinos. Most of the 65,000 Im guessing are second or third generation immigrants.

You may try the restaurant in Jardin Japonés.. The person making the sushi is Japanese (but not all)

If you talk to people, its easy to ask if they are korean, or chinese, or japanese.
If you have travelled to any of those places, its easier to tell.
The Japanese Argentines are largely from Okinawa, and they have a big Okinawan community center on San Juan and Jujuy. It has an Okinawan restaurant anyone can eat at, mostly hearty home style stuff,stews and old fashioned sushi, no trendy california rolls.

Sushi Olazabal is great if you are in Belgrano. Excellent salmon with generous guacamole.

The salmon here is always farmed from Chile. Which, by definition, cannot be excellent.
And guacamole?
I havent tried it yet, but I have been told the best here is the RU Omakase, in the Pleno Palermo Hotel right near Don Julio on Gurrachaga.
