Those who want roll combinations with sriracha, cheese, or mayo might be happier going to a cheap and cheerful kaiten sushi chain like Kura https://www.kurasushi.co.jp/menu/ or adjusting their expectations (and cravings) a bit. Kaiten sushi also has the nice benefit of being able to order what you want, often from a screen and separated from all visible judgement (if you end up ordering multiple chicken mayo, Chanja spicy looking mince thing, or only want salmon/fatty tuna, want to try new things with low interaction in case you hate it), vs mostly set courses some more traditional places offer.

Nemuro Hanamaru is more of a solid fish place. I usually go to the kaiten restaurant or the standing counter in Ginza.

This thread has often been more towards solid fish offerings. +1 for Topcare's instructions on tabelog 食べログ, just add in a price filter and look at the pictures.
You make a great point, I'm used to eating nigiri and much prefer it to makizushi, so I might be a bit biased.
