Chirashi Teishoku set from Chirashi-Tei. Despite looking rather The Sushi Bar and Chikuwa Tei/Manzoku-esque with its thick cuts, this was like one of those Louis Vuitton bags from a back alley car boot that look damn legit from afar but up-close you can see the uneven stitching and detect the foul stench of factory knock-off. While the salmon and yellowtail were serviceable at best, the tuna had as much personality as a 2B pencil, while the swordfish (mekajiki) fared the worst, looking devoid of haemoglobin and tasting like it died of drowning, all bloated with water. I got really sick of the sashimi three quarters in, which I didn’t get with the chirashis from the above-mentioned joints. For $23 at what is essentially a food court stall, this is simply not acceptable. 3/5
