Sushi is one of the foods that you really get what you pay for usually...especially living in a place where you're no where near fishing areas. But hey, I'm a college student and I like to get my low fat sushi fix on a $10 budget sometimes. I'll rate it for what it is: fun and cheap with not the best sushi, but it'll do. If you're not used to revolving sushi places (lots and lots in California), 90% of the time sushi left standing there rotating is not going to fresh and warm. Although fun, if you want sushi a little bit colder you're going to order it from the chef. You're just going to the get the most basic variety of sushi here, and it's mostly the lower grade fishes.
However, it's recipe for fun for groups: cheap instant sushi and Japanese beer readily available. Oh and guess what? J-pop and Anime music playing in the background! As far as service, this place is consistently packed whenever I go, so expect service to be slow.
Bottom line: Cheap fun with friends, but you get what you pay for....not that great of sushi, but it's price is enticing for any poor student such as myself.
