I was wandering for my lunch today, one of those "zombie lunch days" where you find yourself sitting at your desk way past your lunchtime with no motivation to move and get something to eat.
I stumbled out and my coworker alerted me to an atrium below the lipstick building. As someone who's been working in Midtown East for over a year, this was clearly exciting news. She was sorely mistaken however and lead me to 875 Atrium. (Thanks Jenn!)
I decided to go downstairs anwyay and I guess the combination of a zombie lunch day stupor and my complete lack of motivation lead me to Sushi Jun. I walked in glanced at the menu and felt the lady behind the register, eyes upon me, judging, waiting for me to order. The pressure mounted and I cracked: "I'll have a chicken teriyaki please."
I never know why I order this anywhere since I've been spoiled by Sarku Japan. My first teriyaki experience was Sarku and anyone who's eaten at one of those knows that it's a huge, HUGE difference from how teriyaki is usually prepared anywhere else. Dare I say it, Sarku might not be authentic…b ut it is damn delicious.
Anyway I get a rice bowl with chicken and a few pieces of veggies a few minutes later, they're at least fast here! I took it back to the office and inspected my bounty : chicken strips glazed with teriyaki sauce over rice, with a few pieces of veggies on the side. (raw carrot, raw cucumber, semi cooked broccoli) Can't say I'm shocked.
I dug in and ate, it's mediocre. The sauce is sweet and the chicken is ok. About midway into the meal I inspected the chicken closely and realized that it's not even real chicken. It didn't quite taste like dark meat and didn't quite look like white meat. It was clearly processed as the texture and appearance of it didn't match any piece of a natural chicken I've ever seen. Minus one star for artificial chicken.
Also I will say this for Sarku : they might not be authentic teriyaki, but they do use real sushi!
The damage was about $8.xx and the bowl wasn't much food. My first reaction when I pulled it out was "Where's my miso soup…". I'd skip this if I were you, might come back and try the sushi. They had them laying out and it looked good.

Oh wow, the fish roe sushi box that I got for lunch today is actually really really good.
$8.5 for the 6-piece box, perfect size for my appetite after gym, replenishing sodium, and coldness makes it easy to digest in the summer.
Also, I love the veggie bibimbap here!
Not a big fan of the Korean food and Japanese cooked/fried food here, but sushi's really decent! going to try more specialty sushi box soon.
