BEST sushi...really!

by minnetonka627

I (dangerously) live down the street from this restaurant and I dream about their food! You cannot go without getting the Pauline roll. It is seriously addictiving! The prices are great and the staff is very friendly. The lunch specials are such a great deal. They have them on Saturdays too and you get sooo much food for your money. The fish is fresh and always good. Their shumai is also awesome. If you love sushi you really need to try this place.
