In the burbs here, we have only a couple Japanese run and many Chinese and Korean sushi spots. Unfortunately (for sushi snobs) it's a totally different experience. The latter incorps a limited menu of cheap, farm raised, bland fish w a huge list of 'splty' rolls that pack 20 ingredients in each plus (think lots of mayo and crab stick). Most offer no seasonal or obscure fish since no one will eat it. I don't blame them - caterig to the masses but it sucks when you know the difference. We were spoiled in the city.
