Does the new mainland sushi joint stack up to the competition (Fancy Q)?

I love Fancy-Q on the Island, but prefer to stay in Brunswick when I can (less traffic and hassle -- more locals too). I was pretty excited to see a new sushi joint on Cypress Mill (where Allen's BBQ used to be). Here is a quick review:

Food

We ordered a variety of dishes. My son had some salmon, while the rest of us had sushi. The salmon was excellent and at a very good price. The sushi was all decent, but overall was somewhat bland in terms of presentation and flavor. Better than something like Tokyo Joe's, but a notch below Fancy-Q.

Service

Service was just OK. Waitress was attentive, but food came out in such a staggered order that all of us were done eating before my daughter had her meal in front of her. I suppose they still have some kinks to work out.

Atmosphere

Zero atmosphere. Felt like being in an Allen's BBQ turned into a sushi place.

Conclusion

Good place to go when you just do not have the time or desire to go to Fancy-Q. But still a solid notch or two below the overall food quality, presentation and service at the excellent Q.

Huge Plus Compared to Fancy-Q Worth Mentioning

Posted by Kevin Strasser at June 28, 2009 12:15 PM
Went to Sushi-Q recently late on a work night (8 pm) and they were totally loaded. 45 minute wait for a table (after waiting about 5 minutes or more just to be addressed by the hostess stand). We did not have the time or patience and had to go elsewhere.

Guess it is Wasabi for me next time, or at least until the summer passes.
