finding ingredient sources for Bushi was easy.
He says he worked hard to find the freshest
seafood source that delivers inland. Bushi's
seafood comes flash-frozen and is cut first
thing every morning. This, along with an array
of nutrient-dense topping options ranging
from kale to ginger to edamame, makes eating
at Bushi healthy and fun.
At Bushi, diners have two options: the
sushi burrito, or poke (meaning pocket in
Japan) bowl. My preference is the poke bowl.
This is two-fold: ease of eating and power over
toppings. Building a poke bowl is a four-step
process (which, admittedly, can be intimidating
the first time). First, you pick your rice base
(white, brown or Bushi-green tea-infused
white). Next, you choose your protein, then add
your toppings. Finally, you add a sauce.
I usually choose either Bushi or brown rice
for my poke bowl base, and always salmon
and tuna as my proteins. Then comes the fun
part. Like a kid in a candy shop, my eyes scan
Bushi's colorful selection of toppings, mentally
marrying combinations in my mouth-
crunchy, sweet, green, satisfying. And then
the sauce, the final decision making my poke
bowl complete.
Bushi's burritos are also tasty, like eating
a sushi roll before it's been cut into bitesized rounds. There are six on the menu, all
unique combinations of proteins, toppings and
sauces, wrapped in wild pacific nori and one's
choice of rice. I've tried two different burritos:
the Bushi Special with Bushi rice, and the
Tempered Crab with brown rice. While I
usually prefer brown rice, I found out quickly
it isn't the best option in a sushi burrito as it
doesn't stick the way white rice does. Even
when I ate it as instructed-peeling the
paper wrapping away as I went-I still made
a mess. Then again, sometimes I make a mess
eating sushi, especially when it's stuffed full
of goodness the way Bushi burritos are. Mess
or no mess, it's worth the effort.
Yun understands the Bushi concept is
hot-for now. "You have to stay versatile,"
says Yun. "The moment you start to feel
comfortable, it's time to move on."
"Do you feel comfortable with Bushi yet?"
I ask him, holding my breath a little as I await
his response.
He instantly chuckled and shook his head.
"No. Definitely not." I
