BASH (Burger And SusHi) in Ottawa IL: Why you should go there instead of fast food chains. If you…read moreget a $16 roll and a $10 roll and really take the time to enjoy each mouth full of those true works of art (tip of the hat to Hadi).. eyes closed ..face skyward.. all attention on your tastebuds to give the experience the attention it deserves.. you'll take half of each home and get two meals. Technically that $30+ tab is more than you'd spend for a burger and fries and a shake someplace.. but thats one meal..and its fast and its done and did you really need or want that calorie count? that fat and sugar? starch and salt? It tastes good you say? ok.. try this instead.. take half home. two meals at about the same price per meal.. much better for you and when I say ART.. I mean ART. Like taking your tastebuds to a live concert with Bach and Mozart playing and the opener is OG Queen. As to the economics.. If you buy at a chain..thats an organization designed to funnel money up and OUT of your community as much as possible.. if you eat at say Cinco in Streator or any locally owned and operated and incorporated restaurant more of the money stays local to swish around in the local economy. OH and of course, healthier eating in both cases. real food. A solid platter at Cinco usually gets me at least two meals and thats if i dont mix in the leftovers to punch up my own tacos or soup or whatever I'm cooking

Service has always been good when I went. I've probably gone under 10x and given enough tries at the new and old locations. Every time there's always something that goes wrong but I continue to come back because family and friends love it and I always try something else when I come in. Food is always edible most of the time but not great. I've had hair in my burger before. Other Burgers were overcooked and flavorless. Mac and cheese is disgusting. Sushi menu is kinda repeat and all fried / tempora. Pretty basic and boring and if you're gluten free you're kinda SOL. Crab Rangoon is imitation crab. Gross. This last time I went for a goodbye dinner to a coworker moving: Drinks- Table got a pitcher of white sangria- it was ok but way overpriced. I got the strawberry basil lemonade drink and it sucked. It lacked taste. I'n convinced it was water and not lemonade, nothing puree about it, & there was no basil in it besides used as a piece of decor. Sushi- I showed the waitress a picture of the roll I saw on someone review and that it claimed it was a Ottawa roll but it was not and 10/10 a different role that was given to me. Luckily I will eat anything and it actually wasn't bad but what the hell. Truffle fries- beer battered. Yuck. Mac & Cheese- I thought it used to be not bad but I got it this last time as a side and it was different noodles, thick, no creamy cheese sauce, & no seasoning. Dessert- 10/10 made the trip worth it. I hate fried ice cream and not a huge brownie person but that dessert was amazing. The beignet with caramel- yessss. I never get the hype of the food but think it's because there's not much around like this for locals. If someone wanted to go back I wouldn't not go but I am not a fan.

NOT WORTH YOUR TIME OR YOUR MONEY First, let me tell you…read morethat I hadn't been to this establishment since I was a teenager. It was Saturday evening at 5:20pm, and we walked in and should have turned back since there were only 3 cars in the parking lot. We walked into the restaurant with looks of an old rundown, out of date food restaurant. We waited a short time for a table, even though there were probably 12 tables free out of 15. Not many were there, and it was around 5:20pm. One group of about 10 people and another elderly couple were in the dining room. We were seated and given a menu. We asked if the tenderloin was a true tenderloin or a pounded-out poark loin chop. She didn't know, nor did she go back and ask. Even though she said she said she was the one that made them. We placed our order. I received my salad and a slice of bread along with a corn fritter. We opted for an order of their home-made onion rings for an appetizer and the server asked if we would want ranch dressing. We both said, "YES". Believe me, they were nothing to write home about unless it's to let you know, they're not worth the money. The ranch dressing was extremely watery with hardly any flavor. Terribly tough onion rings and the crust was hard. My husband was having problems chewing them. Then came my 14 oz. Ribeye steak with a baked potato, and hubbies' "tenderloin sandwich" and fries. One look at the extremely thin sandwich, we both knew it was a loin chop. It had no flavor and was very dry. The fries that came with it were limp and cold in the middle. He told our server, and she said, "I'll tell her", now remember that comment. I also wanted a side of their raviolis so we could share. Big mistake, big big mistake. Neither one of us could take more than one bite and honestly, we thought they were old and even expired a week ago. Yes, they were that bad. Downright NASTY! Now for my steak. I ordered it rare to medium rare. I cut into it and it was more like medium well done and LOADED with black pepper. So much pepper it was burning my mouth. We let one of the servers know about it and she took it away and soon she brought back a rare - medium rare Ribeye. NO seasoning whatsoever. It had no taste at all and it was our guess that the cook/owner (I haven't a clue which) picked out the fattiest steak she could find. I bet I had cut more than 4 oz of uncooked fat off. It was terrible. Don't get me wrong, I love the fat on a Ribeye but nothing like that steak had. I didn't want to eat any more of it. I did eat my slice of bread and the corn fritter that came with my meal. Those two were the best tasting items of all. I brought my baked potato home and my small piece of Ribeye. Hubby brought his half of the tenderloin home and the uncooked fries. Our air fryer will take care of those cold soggy fries. All I can say is, NEVER AGAIN will we EVER be back. I was so very disappointed. It was nothing I/we expected. We told the server about the NASTY ravioli and her comment, "Nobody else complained about it and I will tell her about it". Like my husband said, no one in the place had it. We assumed she would have taken them off the bill, but NO. I even reminded her that we could not eat the raviolis as our server was ringing up our total. Nothing was taken off. The bill came to over $59 which we were charged $1 for the watery Ranch dressing that the server asked if we would like some for our onion rings. What a waste of good money, let alone our time and gas money to drive there and back home. Our advice for you is to run and don't look back. If I could have given them a big fat zero, I would have but Yelp didn't offer that rating.

The fish meal included a salad bar and fries. I rarely see a salad bar offered ANYWHERE anymore; it wasn't much, but it was good. The fish and fries were decent... you have the option on walleye, cod, or a mix. The initial serving is 4 pieces of fish. I opted to do the mix (2 of each). Definitely liked the walleye best. The cod was decent, but also a bit more chewy that the walleye. The fish wasn't quite as flaky as I would have liked, so not sure if it was the quality of the filets or how they were cooked. Nonetheless, the meal was good and reasonably priced for an all-you-can-eat. It was a bit out of the way for us, so not sure I would make the longer trip for the fish, but it was definitely worth the try.
