good place to start

This is a good restaurant to start with if you're interested in trying sushi. My favorites were among the shrimp tempura and the godzilla. The shrimp one was very good; I liked the crispiness of it. The godzilla was much larger, and a more wide array of flavor. I also had the potstickers here, and if they were a little cheaper, I'd definitely order more!! (one order is like four pieces). The prices can be a little high, and the sushi isn't as filling as some of the other restaurants I've been to, but again, it's a good place to start if you're planning on trying out sushi. ((by the way, it's behind the marie calendar's -- facing Northern Ave in the strip mall (name is something different though, but it says sushi)).
Definately decent

I've been going to Mr. Sushi for years now, although, I don't visit much anymore. The quality of the sushi has gone down quite a bit from 4-5 years ago when I first ate there. The rolls aren't as big or as filled. Still, I would definately recommend it to people who want to have pretty good sushi for a good price. The staff is also pretty curtious. I would recommend going around the end of lunch, there are less people and in the busier hours (dinner, begining of lunch) the wait for food is definately longer. Even still, the staff doesn't realy ignore you. If the waiters/waitresses are busy, the bus boy will come up from his duties and ask you if you would like a refill on your drink. My recommendations for food would be the mackerel sashimi, the Mr. Shushi roll, tobiko sushi and, the old stand by, the tuna sushi/sashimi.
Great Place Lunch and Dinner

If you aren't just going out for japanese to be seen at a trendy place, this is the place for you. The food is great, the rolls are unique and delicous, and at the end you don't end up wondering what you paid for.
average sushi

There are real Japanese working at the restaurant, but I did see a non Japanese working the Sushi bar working with a Japanese looking chef (I did not get to check him out). My order of sushi plate at a table, instead of at the bar, had a good amount of sushi for the money, but the presentation was not very good. The tuna rolls were just rolling on their sides, instead of sitting up to show the quality of tuna! The nori (sea weed) was tough and the rice was too warm. There was too much liquid coming off the ginger and sushi was drowning in it. Overall, the restaurant was better than average for a restaurant in this country. Saito
Great value, great food.
