``Not what I'd call `real sushi.' The sushi `chefs' are probably paid minimum wage and it's like a machine cranking things out. If you're not picky and you want a lot for your buck, this is the place for you. If you like quality over quantity, it's not for you.

``Most of the fish was precut and thawed; you could tell it was frozen and mass produced. ''

``Personally, I think this is some the best sushi in Portland. They have a big Japanese clientele as well and menus in both English and Japanese. Fresh fish, always good and the sushi master is from the `old school'. I love it.''
