| - The "new" sushi island is like any other mediocre sushi restaurant around. It obviously isn't new anymore, and the decor is although decent, doesn't reflect Japan or sushi in any shape or form. The rock like interior walls, with stone-like coral textures, are more reminiscent of Greece. But I get it, a place called New Sushi Island probably isn't going for "best dressed" or modern "decor".
So it's really about the well-priced, passable sushi and other Japanese dishes they serve here. They do that well. The sashimi tastes fine, the tempura is crispy, and the miso soup tastes miso-ey. I'd even say that the food is good. When you factor in the price, New Island Sushi gets a bit better!
Rolls are averaging to around 6-7 bucks, bento boxes around 10, AYCE ranges from 13.99 to 19.99 depending on whether you solely want maki/rolls or sashimi and other dishes.
Best bang for your buck, and seriously, bang for your buck - you get 20% off your order if you get it to go! That's a pretty good deal for decent sushi and usually, a lot of food. That's something they don't skimp on, you'll always get enough food.
Overall I'd say its one of the better places for mediocre sushi. If you're not a stickler for super fresh, innovative, chic, awesome presentations and atmosphere, this place can settle your sushi cravings and save you $20 in the bank.
