A combination bubble tea, macaroons and sushi restaurant, right across the street from the university. Simple decor, with cafeteria trays, so all service is at the counter. No liquor license, so no sake, but lots and lots of bubble-tea.
And almost no interaction with sushi chef (and no seating at sushi bar) - all orders are placed and paid for on one of two digital podiums.
Oh, yeah. You are probably going to want to rub your waribashi together to break off any splinters or sharp edges. Not the best quality.
Unfortunately, the food itself is also unremarkable. The sushi rice was very lightly seasoned. The nori wrap was so tiny on the nigiri tamago and unagi, there is no possibility that it could hold each piece together. Maybe the owner only allows the chef to use 1 sheet of nori each day.
The ikura on the gunkenmaki didn't have that little "pop" when you bite on one, confirming the freshness. And the barely spicy salmon maki was partially minced salmon, with a bit too much non-salmon filler.
I'm sure the college kids love this place.
