Sushi restaurant or brothel?
I had lived basically across the street for 2 years and had seen this hole-in-the-wall joint, but had never been, despite sushi being my favorite food. I figured it was time I check it out - I went there around 4:30 on a Thursday, in time for happy hour, which is from 2-5. I walk in and there's not a single customer in the restaurant, which wasn't a surprise considering I had never seen anyone walk in there. The place looked somewhat run-down inside and especially on the outside. I'm greeted by a cute asian girl who's sitting at a table on her laptop. I ordered a couple rolls off the happy hour menu (#4 and #7) for $5 each. Both we're good, but I probably wouldn't pay their regular price of $8 for either.
More importantly, let's talk about how this place manages to stay open?
Facts:
- They have been open for at least 2 years (they were here when I moved here 2 years ago).
- I've been in this strip mall many times and had never seen anyone walk in the doors of JK sushi.
- There were at least 3 employees working
- Not a single customer in the restaurant besides me
- The cute Asian girl (mentioned above) had a "get boned" bumper sticker on her laptop.
My theory is they have something involving "getting boned" going on in the back. If they don't have some other way of making money, I have no idea how they manage to stay profitable.
I don't think I'll be back unless I'm really curious one day and want to see if I can purchase some "extras" in the back.
