It puts the sticky stuff on the Nori!

Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2016

Fantastic product. I followed the directions for the rice, watched a few videos from their web site, and I was making sushi like a pro with my first batch. The secret is in the rice, make sure to follow the directions on the box and spread it thin if you're using a lot of filling. I found their rice recipe was a bit too sweet so I cut the sugar level to 1/8th cup and it was still plenty sticky. I've also started adding about 1 tsp better than bullion to the after rice cook mix, it gives the rice a nice hint of meat without the meat.

Ehh, it's just ok. You're better off buying bamboo mats.

Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2017

I purchased this because my husband and I love sushi and spend quite a bit every month buying it at restaurants. Since I've never made sushi before, I decided to purchase this due to its high reviews. However, since using this sushi making kit, I'm sure most of the 5 star reviews are fabricated. This kit does give you the basic instructions on how to roll sushi but having used it a lot since purchasing it, I've come to discover that the reason why my sushi was falling apart is because the roller is too thick. The slats are waaaaay to big to make a tight roll. After watching several instructional videos online by master sushi chefs on how to roll sushi, almost all the chefs in the videos are using bamboo mats. This kit may be good for absolute beginners but that's all it's good for. You are much better off purchasing bamboo mats and starting off right.

For the patient and experienced

Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2020

Style: OriginalVerified Purchase

I had really high expectations for this thing. I have been making sushi at home for several years and, being efficiently lazy, was looking to make my life considerably easier with this. However, it had other ideas. The base is way too narrow and unstable to apply any pressure to the outsides of the rolls. I like to compress my rolls well and the whole thing kept tipping over. Also, the green “frame” that holds the nori in place is a joke. Sushi rice is notoriously sticky and the frame only keeps the nori flat while you’re not touching it. Once you start to apply the rice to the nori it starts to pull up from under the frame. Of course you can’t press the frame on to the nori to hold it in place because, as mentioned earlier, the whole thing will tip over when pressure is applied to the side.

I can only recommend this to someone who:
• Doesn’t apply pressure to the sides,
• Enjoys struggling with life,
• Can tolerate the frame not holding the nori in place while applying rice, or
• Wants to give a gift to someone who they despise and loathe.

I was given three features to rate for this thing by Amazon (For Beginners, Easy to Use, and Easy to Clean).

• For Beginners – One star, because if you’re new at making sushi this thing will give you a false sense of accomplishment and competence.
• Easy to Use – One star, because it is extremely easy to dream about being the cool cat that makes sushi for your friends. Looking at the box and filling your head with hopes and dreams stops immediately upon opening the box and attempting to use the kit.
• Easy to Clean – Five stars………….Because I have a dishwasher!!!! Oh, and I only had to clean it once before packing it back up and returning it.

Disclaimer: I am married and know that I am an idiot…..I signed the legal documents stating this much. Even though I have been making sushi for some time, I am nowhere near as good as the Asian guy at the local Kroger. Even though it costs more to buy sushi from him……I don’t want to curse out loud, stress my cats and dog out, and get frustrated making sushi at home every time I want sushi.

The One and Only Seadog

Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2015

Style: OriginalVerified Purchase

My very first time making sushi, and this kit worked flawlessly! As you can read here on Amazon, most of the reviews are positive, with a few bad ones. I really can't comment on the bad ones, except to say that I don't want the hassle of having to saran wrap a bamboo mat every time I want to make sushi. The Sushiquik really made the whole process easy. Sure, you can layer on rice without the frame, but why? The frame made it so easy to get the edges straight and the rice evenly packed along the roll. I actually made 6 different rolls last night, and I just got better and better at this, even though my first roll was pretty perfect, they just got better and better as I played with the amount of rice and filling, and varied the pressure I used when rolling. The rice spoon was amazing! Everything in my house was sticking to the rice EXCEPT this spoon! FYI: Sushiquik sent me an e book with some recipes in it. Nice touch!

Anywhooo, I highly recommend this set if you want a nice clean way to make sushi rolls. If you are a traditionalist who doesn't like improvements in your world, get on your horse and ride to the store to go get a bamboo mat...and hey, why are you on the Internet?

Not worth it at $36

Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2016

Style: OriginalVerified Purchase

For the price this item is not worth it. The only useful things are the spatula and the white rolling mat (but even that has drawbacks since its got a tab on the bottom of it that prevents it from laying flat). The black stand that the mat rests on is difficult to work with and doesn't hold the rolling mat stable while spreading rice- see product photos, the black base is not as wide as the mat so it wobbles around when in use. The green square guide is useless, came warped, and only makes the instability of the black base more apparent when trying to spread rice. I've not used the dishes so I cannot comment on those. All in all for $36 I got a plastic rice spreader and rolling mat thats only appeal is it can go in the dishwasher. Would I recommend this? No, not at the current price. Because it works well enough I won't replace it but I'm disappointed to say the least. Should've just gone the traditional route and saved $30.

Become a Sushi Master

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2016

Style: OriginalVerified Purchase

We made some bomb ass sushi with this kit. I gotta tell you, I have a lot more respect for sushi masters after using this for the first time. It probably took us 4 hours just to make this plate of rolls. But it was so worth it and so good. Doesn't it look like our finished product came straight form the sushi bar? You'll have to excuse us as we have not yet reached the rice-on-the-outside-of-the-roll level yet. We will get there.

The directions were clear, it was easy to use, and we had a blast making sushi at home. We picked up all of our fish at the local Whole Foods and it worked out great.

Easy! Rice on the outside rolls!

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2015

Style: OriginalVerified Purchase

Made sushi for the first time last night and it was awesome!!! This thing is so easy!! I was able to make rolls w rice on the outside w no problem, just added a little water to the roll mat and voila! I purchased eel sauce and made spicy mayo and put them in squirt bottles to give the platter that restaurant look. I also added black sesame seeds to the outside of one and a very inexpensive black caviar to another. My guests and husband were all amazed!

There are a few ok features, the guide square keeps a beginner from using the edges for rice. The spatula is helpful and normal. Nothing....and I mean nothing else is helpful or remotely functional. Complete waste of money and space. So it is NOT good for beginners, NOT easy to use (we found ourselves only using the mat an spatula while wishing the mat was normal). It was fairly easy to clean...but you have 5 parts to clean for no reason. Pass! Get a bamboo mat. You might mess up a few learning how to do it, but they will still be delicious edible mistakes you learn from.

Authentic Sushi at Home

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2017

Style: OriginalVerified Purchase

I have used the sushiquik regularly since the purchase. The sushi maker is indeed easy to use and produces restaurant quality sushi. The only thing I don't like is the green guide screen does not snap into place so it is constantly moving around when you are trying to spread the rice causing inconsistencies in the rolls.

Great beginners sushi tool.

Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2018

Style: OriginalVerified Purchase

I was so scared to make sushi because I always thought it was a hard thing to master. It's not. This was a great stepping stone to the bamboo rolling mats. I like it very well, but found it a little clumsy. But, it's like a class in Sushi For Idiots. ;) It cleans easily and makes it easy to do the "rice on the outside" sushi too. I think if you're like me, you'll graduate quickly to the bamboo mat. The tray that hold the mat only got used once because other than giving you a guide for your rice, it just made it more awkward. It's a fun little gadget though and it takes the fear out of sushi making. I never used the cutting guide, but found that a clean, very sharp, wet knife is the secret to cutting. Let the knife do the work, don't try to "push" it through, that will just squash the sushi.
