Weirdest sushi meal ever

Exclusive to MeierMovies, May 5, 2026

If you are near Windermere, Florida, don’t go to Jumbo Sushi. It might be the worst sushi restaurant in the state.

The whole place smelled like gas, like it was ready to explode.

The lone server acted like he had never worked in a restaurant before. Actually, he acted like he’d never seen a restaurant before. He gawked at me when I walked in, like he expected me to serve him. I was the only customer. After an odd staring contest, I finally was invited to choose a table.

It was sticky.

I ordered a water with lemon. They didn’t have lemon.

I ordered edamame. They didn’t have edamame.

I ordered scallop nigiri. They didn’t have scallop nigiri.

I asked what was in their California roll. He didn’t know. So I ordered a vegetable roll, a spring roll and miso soup – all while listening to bad music on their television, periodically interrupted by commercials.

There was no bowl for the soy sauce. Speaking of sauce, the spring roll tasted like it didn’t have any, despite the server saying it did. I inquired about peanut sauce, but they didn’t have that, so I took whatever sauce they offered. It didn’t help much, as all the food was tasteless.

Eventually another group walked in, and he proceeded to not answer their menu questions either. Being ignored, I was eventually forced to flag him down when I wanted a water refill.

Then the check came. With a fortune cookie. In a sushi restaurant.

As weird as all this is, the strangest part is that I’m experimenting with veganism and was using this outing as a test to see if I could enjoy a mostly vegan meal at a sushi restaurant. And the fortune in that cookie? “You will have a successful bake sale.”
