Well, I don't know if I would agree to calling them the best. I've
certainly had sushi that I considered better. It was certainly good enough
for the price they charge.
Next month I'll be eating sushi in Tokyo. We'll see how it stacks up...
But I will say they are the best sushi deal. When I worked in Parsippany,
NJ, we used to go to the one on route 10 quite often. $20 for all you can
eat, soda and tip.

>> The pedal bike rider looked at me the same way the ice fishermen did...
>>
>> Hope to see you on the road some time and happy 2008!
