Miso Sushi Bar - Harrisburg, PA

As we went on this road trip over the summer, we find that we miss sushi quite a bit.  Thank goodness to Yelp, because it helps you find local recommendation.  Since we've been craving for some sushi, we were determined!  Out we found: Miso... guessing this can't go wrong, right?
It does take a bit of driving around to find them.  Alright, let's see if Pennsylvania's sushi measures up:
Everything looks good except one, can you find it?  Hint: it wasn't the Unagi Handroll.
This is their version of the Tokyo Roll, which has salmon, tuna, bass, and cucumber.  The flavor and fish goes well together.  You can really see how generous they were with the cucumber... wish they were more generous about the fish, which is what I'm really paying for.  

I just wish the person who cut the roll cut a decent thickness.  When you have that much fish and cutting them thinly, everything falls apart when you try to pick it up.
The other offender was the chopped scallop.  This is the first time I've ever had them literally cut the scallop piece and place it on top of rice.  Usually, chopped scallop is mixed in a sauce, and then placed on top with roe.  That way, when you pick up the sushi, everything holds together because the sauce acts as a bonding agent.  This way, it's like trying to eat confetti.

Our server is friendly, and frankly eating sushi in the middle of nowhere is already impressive.  Unfortunately, this also means that you have to lower your expectations when it comes to quality and presentation.  I want to support mom and pop shops, but not sure I am willing to sacrifice the integrity of my food.

They do post their nutritional info on their website.  Their iced green tea is pretty good and they do have free wifi.  If anything, you can check emails or directions from there.
