| - I read the reviews of this location and decided to stop by myself since it is on my way home. Pulling into the parking lot I noted it is in a strip mall next to a Little Caesar's and across from a DQ, so I did not expect Muramoto level sushi. I think to honestly rate this restaurant it must be based on how well they do what they do. And for roughly $6 entrees and around $8-10 for a sushi roll, I don't feel I was paying too much for what I got. I do think the comparison can be made to the Japanese restaurant in the mall as the dishes are pretty much the same type and all served the same way in a styrofoam container. I ordered the green dragon roll, which is on par with most "express" places. So so flavor, good size portion and what I would get for the same price more or less at Whole Foods or Metcalfs. I also tried the teriyaki beef, which I found to be similar to the mall fast food restaurant except that it lacked flavor and was not the rich teriyaki taste I was hoping for. It was however a very large portion. In addition, the staff is very friendly and the restaurant appeared clean.
To sum it up, I disagree with giving this restaurant a low score based on an unreasonable expectation of obtaining excellent sushi at a strip mall sushi express, however I also do not feel that in comparison to other similar fast food locations this deserves 5 stars. I will likely not return, as it is not to my taste, but if you are looking for fast food Japanese and do not want to go to a mall, this place will do just fine.
