This place is essentially unmarked from the street, tucked into a tiny, cramped food court, sharing the space with a few other takeout places. There's only a handful of seats, but the sushi is fresh and affordable, and service is personable. It's hard to beat. We also appreciate the Styrofoam artwork, offering a commentary on our disposable culture, perhaps?
