I had been craving Japanese food for a few days and jumped at the opportunity when my siblings suggested we get sushi.  I am always a fan of trying new restaurants, mainly because I enjoy the taste of food.  So when they said we were going to this place in Coral Gables called "Sushi Chef", I almost jizzed in my pants.  I had never heard of this place and I was eager to compare this sushi to the sushi I had a couple weeks prior.  My brother warned me that it was a hole-in-the-wall sushi outfit, and thats exactly what it was.  Of course I have, through experience, learned never to judge a book by its cover (manifested solely by the Meatloaf food group.)  Quick flashback - "Meatloaf" has to be one of the absolute worst sounding names for a food of all time.  When I was about five years old my mother made meatloaf for dinner and I told her I didn't want it.  My grandfather asked me, "Have you ever had meatloaf?", I quickly replied "No, but it sounds like something I pooped out last night." "Don't say anything until you try it,"  he replied.  So I took a bite and, had I gone through puberty yet, I would have jizzed in my pants.  I get the meatloaf meal from Boston Market every other Tuesday and I always bring a spare towel with me inside.

Back to sushi- so we pull up and this little yellow corner store looks exactly like what I pictured.  First thing I hear when I walk in is "Hola!".  Nothing more comforting at an authentic Japanese joint like an "Hola!" greeting.  The place had three hispanic waitresses and two black sushi chefs (both women) at the sushi bar.  Not a single Japanese person working in the entire restaurant.  The only Japanese guy we saw was picking up his to-go order.   I ordered a bagel roll and a chicken katsu rice bowl with extra spicy mayo on the side- gotta have spicy mayo.  Spicy mayo and ranch are my two favorite condiments, hands down.  When J.Lo brought my chicken katsu out she said it was "salmon katsu".  I informed her that I had ordered chicken and she said, "Oh yes, chicken."  I tasted it, and I assumed it was chicken, either way with a little spicy mayo it tastes like spicy mayo, and thats all I needed.   The food was actually decent and the spicy mayo was definitely above average.  The whole time I was looking at a wall unit that was stuffed full of Japanese alcohols.  On top of one section was a "Sake" sign and on top of the other section was a "JIZAKE" sign.  What the hell is Jizake?  Do I even want to know?  Probably not.

All in all, if you want authentic Japanese food with an African Hispanamerican twist, Sushi Chef is not a bad place to go.
