X-Treme Sushi-Bountiful

Today Blair called me at work to report there was a new sushi restaurant in Bountiful, X-Treme Sushi at 500 South.  Yes, it was in a strip mall - but so is Tokai, our favorite place so I wasn't swayed by location.  After Abby's daycare Halloween party, we had to try it out.  This is my recommendation:  DON'T GO THERE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!!  You can get better sushi at Costco.  And, if that's what you think sushi is, I feel sorry for you.  When we first walked in, we were hit by an overpowering smell of disinfectant.  OK, that put me off a little, but hey - it's a new place, just getting started -- I was going to give them the benefit of the doubt.  We sat down at a table (nice tables, but it was more "fast-food" decor than anything else) and a very nice waitress asked what we'd like to drink (water for me, Sprite for Abby) but they didn't have water.  What?  Who doesn't have water?  They brought us two Sprite cans, no glasses, no ice.  Strike one.  The menu was sparse, but included the choice of a "half-roll" instead of ordering a whole roll, so I was impressed by that.  We ordered a 1/2 Alaska roll and 1/2 Playboy roll, plus two orders of Miso soup.  The soup was served in a square bowl (no, that is not an oxymoron) with soup spoons.  Seriously?  Soup spoons?  Even Abby didn't like the miso soup because...it was too salty.  This is from a girl who LOVES salt (me, too) and I couldn't even take more than three spoonfuls before I was done.  Strike two.  They brought the sushi out right after (thank goodness, I thought) and it looked OK.  I had to ask for wasabi (what?  Ask for wasabi?  What kind of place is this?) and we dug in.  Oh my word, it was so awful.  SO AWFUL!  The rice was DRY, the rolls fell apart and even the "middle" of the rolls weren't good.  The avocado wasn't ripe and was hard to chew and the shrimp wasn't shrimp tempura...it was just shrimp.  Yikes.  Strike three.  I graciously asked for a "to go" container, as not to embarrass the poor waitress, but let's just say that is the LAST time I'll go there.  Maybe people in Bountiful don't know sushi and this place will survive...but a Mikado is opening up next month in the Commons, next to Costco, just down the street.  Let's just say this place will NOT be a problem, as far as competition goes.  I predict they won't be there long.
