Cafe Zaiya is so much better. it’s alright for supermarket-quality sushi. the other stuff (udon soup, rice dishes) is on par with Cafe Duke (read: equivalent to instant ramen / microwaved frozen food)

Had the Eel Plate for lunch which consisted of sticky rice, salad with ginger dressing, two nice sized pieces of broiled eel (reheated in microwave/convection oven) and that sauce that seems to always be squirted on top of eel or rolls made with eel. For $6.35 plus a can of soda for $1.06, it was not all that bad considering what $8.35 can buy you. I sat and ate there and found it not bad for a quick lunch stop. Would I go there again. Yes. Would I seek it out? No. Sure, I could have went to the spanish/indian/deli/newstand place or 6th or big bowl or woshaku or a number of other places and got a good lunch for about the same price but Still, for the price of a quick sit down at 1:30PM, it looked to be all fresh and my lunch was made right in front of me. One note worth mentioning is for anyone who craves Pocky or shrimp chips or wassabi or sesame flavord snacks, there ais a fair amount of japanese type of treats in there for after lunch and you will still probably come out under $10! walked past this place way too many times and decided after seeing this, it is time to check it out.

Never tried the bento boxes and I thought their udon was nothing special.

Sushi Nouveau charges higher prices for Duke-type quality so they don't get much traction. i.e. Don't waste your time.
