Hot Tuna Sushi Bar & Grill-Oldsmar

We ordered two appetizers. First the spring rolls were fine but not great. These had mango and strawberry in them. Never seen that before if I didn't see them I would have not known they were in there. I'm not a spring roll expert but for $8.00 this was way to high for them. I can get a little nicer rolls in the mall for $3.99.  Next the stuffed mushroom these I could have liked if the tuna was more on the rawer side like in sushi because this was so cooked it was dry and I don't know we're the spiciness came in because their was no hint of heat. These could have been good. I have a close up picture of the inside. I guess you could say we're sushi nuts I was first then I got my dad in to it so now were go for lots of rolls but because we're got two appetizers we only got three roll. First is my dads must have if restaurants offer. Tempura Japanese bagel roll. He likes fried rolls. The roll was fried nicely the ingredients were fresh all the roll were fresh. He liked these better here then some because they were cut smaller then most places. Next volcano roll this one might be one of my favorites but I think it's because of the baked seafood dynamite I could eat a plate of just that. And my thoughts on this roll was good. And the last roll is Red Dragon roll. This roll has a crawfish salad I never had a roll with crawfish but this was very good. The crawfish gave it something a little different. Total with tax and two ice teas $53.34

Chang Bistro-Clearwater Beach

I don't have much to say about this place. Thought the place was packed till we walked in. Place was dead expect for the three tables at the window. They placed everyone at the window to make it look busy,  and they added us to the last window table to make it still look busy. The specialty sushi is way over priced for the place. And the sushi tasted like you brought it at a grocery store. I probably won't go back, but you go a head and judge for yourself. They are also connect to Thai coconuts on Missouri in clearwater.

Started off with California roll and JB roll. And decided not to order any more sushi which is very unusually for us. Friendly and device was good.
