| - This place has a new owner, and is now called New Sushi Island. Blecch. It should be called "A Desecration of The Name Sushi Island." The food and service are both dramatically worse, and it's more expensive besides, which seems terribly unfair.
A few things were still tasty - the enoki beef rolls were nice, if smaller, and the grilled eggplant ditto. Granted, these items depend largely on their sauces, but still it was an encouraging beginning (even if our hopes were soon to be dashed).
The sushi rolls, formerly quite tasty, are now actively terrible. Mushy, loose, full of poorly cut vegetables and the saddest imaginable fish. Many rolls don't arrive as described (spicy sauce seems to find its way into far too many things), and some others seem to have been cut by a second-grader - some slices are wee, some are gigantic. The ingredient quality has also taken a turn for the worse: avocado, especially, ranged from far too firm to brown and overripe. I could go on, but it's all too depressing.
I mourn my old favorite, Sushi Island. Evidently a large portion of the staff have moved to Sushi Q, down the road. We're going with them. If you value your digestion, I encourage you to consider doing the same.
