| - This is one of the only places I will actually wait in line for. Even when they were renewing their liquor license and could only fill half the restaurant, I waited. That's what cheap, delicious sushi does to people. The impatient become patient. Well, I did at least.
Sushi Island is probably my favourite sushi place thus far. I usually grab the $12.99 all-you-can-eat maki menu and go wild. For that price you can usually get 10 pieces of maki at some restaurants, and here you can order to your hearts content. A lot of AYCE places are usually really stingy on service; they think that if they ignore you, you'll get full and stop ordering. The wait staff here will come check on you every five minutes, and when you name off 20 rolls you want to order, they remember them all without writing anything down. Blows my mind every time.
Their rolls are by no means traditional, but they are delicious. The Sushi Island roll has a grape in it (sounds weird, is amazing). The Eight Firecracker Roll is rolled in a mix of eight spices -- it's spicy, in case the word "fire" didn't give it away. Fire & Ice has cooked fish and hot peppers...I could describe the whole menu, but I won't. Basically they offer really interesting maki rolls that don't sacrifice quality or taste.
AND IT'S CHEAP. I wouldn't go on a Saturday night, though. During the week it tends to be less busy, and the AYCE prices go up $2 on Fridays and Saturdays.
