Boston roll at XS

The bill: $4.95 for six pieces

The dish: Shrimp, avocado and cucumber

The scoop: This roll at XS forgot to bring the flavor to the table.The cukes were barely present and the shrimp was barely seafood. 

Get your money's worth? Not so much. We regret not splurging a handful of change more and getting a shrimp tempura roll instead. Sure it probably involved the same shrimp, but they'd have been fried and, therefore, inherently better.—Amanda Krotki
