Well, I'm a member so I get 10% off but I had lunch there for my birthday, $20 all in (tip is built into the menu) and I thought it was well worth it .
I'm always intrigued by those "fusion" kosher places that make sushi and a host of other things and manage to keep kosher. I could never eat kosher regularly. No shell fish....
That's something that surprised me when I worked for the Boro Park company. All these Hasidic Jews merrily running out to get sushi for lunch. Or that the kosher stores sold sushi for lunch. It seemed odd to see that these people who set themselves apart so much that they didn't know where Connecticut was or what country we had gained independence from to become the USA knew that Japanese food like sushi even existed and had taken a shine to it.

Sushi isn't necessarily treif (not kosher). It depends on the type of fish.

LOL I know right? It's hilarious.

Right, but lots of kosher places that keep kosher sell sushi that is kosher.

Yes, I know that. The people I worked for ate only kosher sushi because they ate only kosher food. They bought the sushi from kosher shops in the neighborhood.
One guy who was Jewish but not Hasidic used to get grief from some of the other Jewish men because he got pizza at Gino's, an Italian place on 13th Avenue. I told Gino that when I went in to get a slice one day, and he laughed and said, "You know how many Jews I get coming in here to eat? They pretend they don't see one another."
But for the most part, the Jewish women I worked with kept kosher, and there was some good kosher food available in the neighborhood.

Sorry MQ, we cross posted. Jews can eat pizza as long as there's no meat on it. In fact, it's the staple at most temples. It's cheap and 99% of kids like it.
Truth be told, a lot of meat that's supposedly kosher really isn't. Famous example was "Doheny Kosher" in Los Angeles. They got caught selling non-kosher meat (at kosher prices) and this caused fits within the ultra orthodox community. They closed their doors immediately.

Yeah. When I first saw that, I too was quite surprised. There are quite a few Kosher sushi places & they do a brisk business. They do love their sushi.

How would they be able to sell supposedly kosher meat though? Didn't they have their certificate posted and showing which Rabbi was supposedly supervising the process to confirm it was kosher or whatever? Not unless they falsified that certification?
