This won’t be a full review, but I found a strange sandwich experience that deserves a mention here on Simply Sandwiches. Sunrise Mart (494 Broome St.), is a small Japanese market offering groceries, sushi, and prepared lunches. They have bento boxes and onigiri, sushi and curry – and now, a rice “burger” ($8.49 with fries).
The rice burger’s patty is made up of rice mixed with some kind of teriyaki sauce, which is formed and grilled to resemble the familiar burger shape. It’s served with the usual suspects – lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles – and some less-usual wasabi cream and soy sauce. So what’s it taste like? Well, like slightly spicy rice on a bun. The flavor is subtle, and the texture gets too mushy toward the end (not to mention the inherent weirdness of carbs on carbs), but the cheese does a good job of bringing the whole thing together, and as an unusual departure from your everyday sandwich, it’s not a terrible option.
Looks almost normal…
That is some well-grilled rice.
