The Good:
The vibe is good inside- especially considering that it is in a strip mall. It does not look like Cuban Pete's or any of the other restaurants that have died there. It looks good.
There is a random hidden room (near the bathrooms) that looks like it would be a great room for a private party.
The sushi is average to above average. I had the Floridian- I thought it was good, it could have been spicier though.
The menu is big- so non-sushi friends can still tag along.
The prices are reasonable- on Tuesdays and Thursdays a lot of the sushi is half off.
I want to like this place. I want a little sushi place in Plaza Midwood- people want this to work.
The Bad:
It is average. The only reason why I will go back is because it is so close to my house and the competition is not strong in the area.
The waitress was sweet. Incredibly sweet. However, she informed us that she does not eat sushi. She did not know the menu. She was unable to offer suggestions. She looked in over her head. It was like having a vegan server at a steak house. It just didn't work.
I think this place can do well- even with average sushi- but they really need to have better service. Average food and average service does not make a lasting restaurant in a strip mall.
