| - It was the last day of Arizona Restaurant Week and so naturally the wife was craving cheap sushi instead of something novel and adventurous. Sometimes I think she has a mercury deficit.
Anyways, as far as cheap sushi goes, this is top-notch. The people working must have been the owners. Both moved frenetically the whole time we were there from table to table, cleaning, serving, nodding profusely, apologizing, etc. The stereotypes are replete. This may as well be "City Sushi" from South Park with Trey Parker providing the accents. Granted, this atmosphere probably doesn't stack up well compared with the 360 degree rotating scenic mountain view in the gilded balcony of a Persian palace we could have had for $30 per plate during Arizona Restaurant Week, but I digress.
Rolls taste great, and that's what is really important. The specialty rolls are $3/plate with 3 pieces/plate. Less desirable rolls are $2/plate, and the blobs of Jello nobody wants perpetually roll around the conveyor at a dollar per plate. Everything except that jello was fresh and tasty, and I didn't try the jello, so it might have been too. Except that it's a blob of jello, so it's probably been there since they opened. All in all, no bites were regretted, even though we could have been eating rotmos med fläsk off the bellies of Swedish virgins for only $30/plate.
Overall, this is not a great anniversary dinner, but for addicts will serve nicely. If you know what you want and you just want it cheap, this is the place. It's no tenderloin caprese, medium-rare steak, chocolate mousse and raspberry three course meal for $30/plate, but if you need a cheap fix you'll get it.
