Say no to Ru San’s

June 19th, 2005 | 2:57 am cdt

Ernie and I went to Rus San’s Saturday evening to get some sushi and check the place out. It was a nice lively place, but the service was horrid. Total, it took at least two hours to order, eat and pay. We were there a good 15 minutes before we even got our drinks, which was a good sign that things were only going to get worse. It took about an hour to finally get our food. Now, sushi isn’t the most filling of foods, so once our initial order was consumed Ernie decided to order some fried rice. The waitress said it would take about 15 minutes. An hour later the fried rice finally shows up. And this whole time the waitress never asks if we’d like anything else to drink. We finished our second round of beer and had gotten through most of our water before the fried rice even showed up.

While the food was good, if you want sushi without the 120 minute ordeal, head over to your nearest Publix and pick up a California Roll or two. Not only do they make em fresh, but the price is right as well.

  • Hmm.. I may have been to Sam's a few years ago.. can't remember exactly where this place was. I think it was pretty small. Excellent suggestions though, I'll have to check them out.
  • I will also suggest Ken's Sushi on 21st right next to Great Escape. It is less finicky than Sam's and much easier to get to. It is also pretty cheap and pretty damn good. My brothers and I hit that one whenever I am in town.

    mmmmm....sushi...you're right about Publix...it's good stuff....I miss having a Publix around :( bah!
  • There is a little sushi place just off of Printers Alley called "Sams." The price is less than most others and you get larger than normal portions.

    Just beware, that if Sam doesn't feel like fixing something on the menu, don't argue with him, just pick something else.
