Sushi Sakura Express

Was just here at Sushi Sakura Express back in July.
But since I have a LivingSocial credit expiring soon, thought what the heck.  Need to head to that direction of town anyway.
I like that they have decent size sashimi that's not an arm and a leg.  This is black pepper tuna sashimi.  Came with its own sauce and it's nicely done, not too spicy, but just enough for the crunchy crust.
Scallop, I like the it's fresh.  Doesn't taste fishy or slimey at all.
Rock and Roll.  All of their rolls on moving sushi plates are 4 pieces as opposed to typically 6 or 8 pieces.
They have hot items from the back kitchen.  Veggie tempura, egg rolls...etc.
Also fruits and dessert when you're ready, just grab.

So, going back to our seating strategy... when we went this time, lunch hour was in full swing.  My previous theory about sitting by the opening from the chef's area was shot because there were patrons there already.  So, they seated us to the right of the opening, which means, we had to wait for the food to travel towards the front before coming down towards the back.  I will say, it helped with the hot food from the kitchen but not with the sushi which travels the opposite direction.  So, my tip: if you can't sit at the chef's opening to load the sushi; try to sit by the door around the T, you're bound to get first dips on the sushi.
