Looks can be deceiving. Smells can even be deceiving because I went in there for pick-up once and it was rank, like a toilet was backed-up or something. I persevered though because the sushi is that good. Also, I've probably eaten there like 8 times and have yet to get any form of food poisoning or stomach parasite, so there's that. Point being, don't let the look of this place deter you. The building's a dilapidated, "remodeled" Taco Bell (I think) and the vibe is pretty weird. While I doubt I'd ever dine in, it's for sure some of the highest quality sushi take-out around. Honestly, they REALLY know what they're doing. Stop being such a prude all your life and give it a shot for God's sake.
