| - Seriously, I was having one of those days when nothing seemed to be going right. Sushi is my comfort food, so I went to my favorite "how you want it" sushi place, which, much to the tune of the rest of my day, was closed for some unknown reason (possibly remodeling). Sushi Station is only a few blocks from my house and I've not tried it before. I had a particular roll in mind that wasn't on the menu, and I wanted it to-go, so I already had a chip on my shoulder when I walked in the door. And I was STARVING, which compounds my moodiness. The cashier didn't seem to really grasp what I wanted, so she got the manager/owner?, who came out and talked to me about what I wanted and was very easily able to accommodate me after clarifying what I wanted (which was basically a salmon Philly roll without the rice - but who eats sushi with no rice? That's not normal). The roll was RIDICULOUSLY cheap, far cheaper than any place I've ever gone to. I'm so glad I ordered two, because it was WAY exceeded my expectations, and I am now a happy man. I can't speak to the sit-down portion of the experience because I ordered to-go (and was out the door in under 5 minutes). But the place was pretty busy - barely a chair open in the place, and the conveyor belt was full of fresh sushi for the taking.
I remind myself of this constantly - one never knows what someone else's day has been like. I had had a terrible day - and this might seem cliché - but the staff at Sushi Station took just a little bit of time for me, and it turned my entire day around. Without a doubt, I WILL be back. Next time, I'm bringing friends. PLENTY of friends! I'd love to become a regular. And I'm hoping they cater! I feel it's a much-needed fare addition in this area, and you can't beat the price. Another reviewer said that other restaurants have tried and failed in this space - I've noticed that as well, but I'm pretty confident that won't happen to this place as long as they keep things just the way they are.
Really nice job, guys. Keep up the amazing work.
