I'm sure there are crappy sushi places all over the place, but that goes for any type of food. Just because it has become popular for Americans doesn't mean the quality or craftsmanship of the food is crap. I had "mall sushi" in Japan that was that way.
And, sushi is more popular today than it was 10 years ago, but I've been going out to restaurants for it for 30 years here in the Midwest. You just sound pissed because you wanted to be trendy and cutting edge and found out what millions of Japanese and Americans have known for half a century. Sushi is good food.

Well said. It doesn't take 10 years to learn how to cook acceptable rice and cut fish on a bias.
