| - Lan Sushi is the newest business on the street and unless you are a Junctionite, you have no idea how much this area needs a sushi joint!
Aaaaaaand, far so good. The restaurant itself is really just a walk up/take out place at the moment. They've painted the place up a bit and added some nice decorative touches which distinguish it from the two places it's been recently (Bronto Burger and Jocelyn's Place) but it still could use some improvements. There are a few chairs set up by the window and one high table (like a bar table) with 4 high stools. It feels a bit unfinished but maybe they're still in the process of determining their set up and staffing.
The maki options are standard, but not in a bad way. To start I had the lunch sashimi combo ($11) which came with salmon, octopus, tuna and tilapia. It came with miso and sushi rice and was relatively fine, the fish was fresh and tasty and the octopus was a pleasant surprise.
We also ordered Maki combo A ($11.50) which featured a tasty california roll, a HUGE dynamite roll and a spicy roll that made my mouth happy! I enjoy a sushi place that doesn't skimp on the spicy in their rolls. Also? No mayonnaise to be seen so far. (Mayonnaise is the sushi kiss of death in my opinion.)
The stars are missing because this is still a new place, the menu is far and away from fleshed out, the seating is strange and the rolls are simple. Give them a few months and I'll re-review, but as it's the only game in town, I'm sure I'll be mosying my way through the menu soon enough.
