| - This is THE BEST DEAL you will ever find in a food court. In fact it's the best deal you will find for Sushi, anywhere. The sushi is fresh, in fact some of the best tuna/ahi I've had, comparable so west coast (San Francisco port) or with higher end Scottsdale sushi places, at a fraction of the cost. & the cost is incredibly affordable; One teriyaki bowl (& it's AWESOME teriyaki) or one Nigiri roll will fill up one person, but you may want more. In addition to the many items they offer, which are made fresh as you wait, they have pre-packaged boxes in case you're in a hurry, also incredibly inexpensive! In addition to very affordable everything, they also often have specials toward the end of the day that will be 2 for 1 of their pre-packaged items if there's any left.
The service is fantastic, especially Kim the owner is such a thoughtful bright person, you can tell he's doing this because he loves it, not just to make a buck. He also remembers you after your first or second visit, & offers drinks to the kids or if you're looking in need. Sometimes there's a line but that's because they are such a great deal for good sush/temputa/etc. & they also take care in doing things fresh & right. Sometimes there's a wait for your order, when you special order, but that's because it's freshly done; if you're in a hurry get one of the many choices of pre-packages, which is really cool to slip into the theater with ;)
The portions are all generous & done well. The crispy Chicken Katsu is a little more pricey at almost $6 but so tender flavorful crispy & so worth it! Although the chicken & beef 'bowls' (which come in a rectangular container) are ample on meat, & also offer veggies (cabbage, broccoli, some bits of carrot) you can always add more veggies for $1 & then you will have ample veggies (I'm a veggie lover!) Their price on shrimp tempura can't be beat.
The only thing I don't personally recommend, & it's a personal preference, is the noodles, which to me are a little heavy - but then they're super filling; I'm just really picky & prefer light noodles, like rice noodles. Their fried rice is okay, typical, not fancy, but includes some veggies (think carrot squares & round peas) They aim to please & accomodate requests, so if there's not a long line you can even ask for extra veggies with that. For a protein boost you can also add fried eggs to your bowls for $1! Whether you are a student just starting out or feeding a growing family, or feasting for a party, #1 Sushi can meet your need affordably & you & yours won't be disappointed!
