``While the concept of discount sushi can be appealing, Sushi Avenue is hardly exemplary. Only the uni (at a healthy $5.50) had redeeming social value (it was excellent). But the yellowtail and mackeral would have better been left in the sea. Tea was lukewarm and rubbery.

``Excellent location, close to everything!''
