I was there tonight.. I went in at about 6:45, and one other table had 2 people. I left at about 8:20 (I ate alot). During that time, there were at least 4 large takeout orders, and 5 people dining in. The 5 people were there when I left.

Right, Thursday night. $29.95 for AYCE. Anything on the sushi menu, including uni. Just don't go nuts on the uni, out of respect. I had one order of uni, but that's all that was left. I wouldn't order more than 2 orders.

I also had a spider roll, Melrose roll, and many nigiri's. I made the mistake of ordering 6 more pieces; that kind of pushed me over the edge.

They had been there about 3 months before I even heard about them. The sushi is certainly damn fine.. I used to go to Sushi Island all the time, but now Sushi Corner is my mainstay.

They're looking for help, by the way. They need a waitperson.. the guy they had decided to go back to school. It pays $7 an hour, plus tips, in case anyone's interested. I'd do it, but I already have more work than I can handle. :)
