The name “Bubblechai Sushi” conjured up images of non-Japanese
staff haphazardly slicing mid- or even low-end sashimi while ignoring a ringing
phone to check on the bubble tea machine.
Well, label me superficial for the snap judgment. And--far as Bubblechai Sushi is concerned, incorrect.

While I wasn’t a fan of the bubble tea (bubble chai, as it’s
called here), the a la carte sashimi had me ordering more. The salmon ($1.50) and tuna ($2.00) sashimi were ridiculously buttery.
Downside would be that the masago ($1.50), ikura ($2.50), and eel ($2.00) were over-seasoned. Which would have been fine in a sushi dish. But as straight-up sashimi, the sodium level overwhelmed other flavors.
On another repeat order (from another part of town), my sashimi and kani (imitation crab) salad ($5.99) came ahead of the scheduled estimated delivery time, yet again.

| The sashimi here is consistently delicate yet creamy. Second time I ordered was even better than the first. |
May Flushing Food suggest: tuna sashimi.
