Kanpachi: CRAP-VILLE USA

There's a line in the movie "Happy Gilmore" where the antagonist snidely tells Adam Sandler, "I eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast." I'm convinced that the character had previously dined at KANPACHI SUSHI in Gardena.

I lunched here this afternoon only because of the good Yelp ratings. The food was CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!

I ordered the $20 combo nigiri lunch plate which included:

- Nasty miso soup w/ slices of turnip, bacon, and carrot (travesty, I know).
- salmon: tasted like a slimy tongue of a rotting sea slug
- uni (sea urchin): the worst, sea vomit aftertaste
-2 pcs ea: cucumber roll & spicy tuna - bland and dry
- tuna: looked and tasted like rotten beef jerky
- unagi (eel): dried, shriveled up, and sad
- some other nasty fish not worth describing

I don't know what the locals are thinking. This place was packed at lunch time. Don't go here, please. There are far better and cheaper places where you can get mediocre sushi.

Kanpachi was worse than 8-week old Yoshinoya leftovers.
