Nina Sushi Tel Aviv

I usually take my time before I decide what to pick from the menu, but this time with Ben the decision was quick and easy. Ben, as a sushi expert, chose 2 rolls for us: Cheese Roll and Color Roll.

I also wanted to add Crispy Eggplant (filled with chicken) as a first course to have something to bite just in case I didn’t like the sushi.

After a short wait, the eggplant and the sushi arrived to our table together. The eggplant came in a plate (4 pieces) with 2 sauces of sweet chili. It was made of high quality and increased our appetite for the sushi that was already on the table.

I gave Ben the honor to try the sushi first to hear his opinion. He started with the Color Roll which was avocado, salmon and cucumber on the inside and salmon and tuna on the outside.

Unfortunately, I immediately recognized that something was wrong with Ben. According to him, the sushi was reasonable and nothing more. “The product is at the level of a restaurant in its infancy and reminiscent of the taste of commercial sushi that is plentiful in the center of the city” he says.

The second roll, the Cheese Roll, made from inside with cream (with the addition of salmon and avocado at the request of Ben), and outside was wrapped in salmon, also received lukewarm criticism from Ben.

“The roll was nice, the fish looked fresh, but they were cut a little thick in my opinion. The rice was a bit tasteless and felt too sticky” Ben said.

For dessert we wanted to order a French crepe, but unfortunately the waitress said they were out of it, so we went for an option that seemed interesting to us – Egg Choco Roll. A roll filled with rice and chocolate inside. All of this was wrapped in an omelet as well. The waitress didn’t recommend it too much, but it looked different and interesting, so we went for it. The roll was good, but not something that we would order again.

Ben’s total score for taste – 6.5/10.
