As have I. The point was a traditional sushi place may offer soup or similar warm dish, but other than that and sushi not much else. Many restaurants offer a wide variety of dishes but are not called sushi shops. I was referring specifically to a sushi shop not a Japanese food restaurant as a more general term.

No need to split hairs, because I am sure one could find a few sushi shops that do try and offer alternative menus, but to say that

"Most sushi places offer things that don't include fish or rice. Most have meat/noodle/salad like foods too."

just is not the case here. Japanese food while sold overseas is by and large (i.e. by the Japanese) considered authentic here.

The point I was trying to make in a post immediately preceding he one commenting on your very good point about alternatives, was that sushi is what one gets at a sushi shop, but alternatives aplenty exist in Japan.
