Sushi Burrito Part One - Torpedo Sushi

The Magical Sushi Burrito

If you haven't heard of a sushi burrito then let me explain to you what this glorious creation consists of. Think sushi roll making love to a burrito and spawning giant and delicious half-breed sushi burrito babies. The first time I heard about this, I had to have one, well actually eight and counting. But this is not enough. I need need to know which sushi burrito reigns supreme.

From careful research three sushi burrito restaurants have been selected to find the ONE.

First on the list is Torpedo Sushi. I give Torpedo an early lead due to their Groupon that cut the price in half. Torpedo is located in an inconspicuous restaurant front off of Grand and Broadway in downtown Oakland. The small restaurant has a friendly staff, at least one of them was in training, and a decently sized menu. We cashed in our groupon for a Slam'n Salmon and Rainbow Roll. The Slam'm Salmon won this round: wasabi aioli deliciously paired with the juicy cuts of salmon between avocado and cabbage! Thank you Torpedo Sushi for popping my sushi burrito cherry. The downside we quickly found after two burritos: we were still hungry. The California Crab and Chips Basket finished us off and we ordered two more rolls to go.

What to get: Slam'n Salmon or the Half Baked Roll



Pros: Good sauces and fresh ingredients

Cons: Not enough sauce and the burritos were too small leaving us hungry. There was also a lack of sides: SIRACHA anybody?
