Sushi In Joy

I eat sushi all over the world usually 1 or 2 times a week...I'm an international flight attendant. The only reason I picked this place was because I needed to find a sushi restaurant in a certain area near where my friend worked. I ,as you are, was doing a web search and going by others recomendations. First of all this is in a strip mall. No fancy dining room or pretentious decor. Although nicely decorated. But you are going here to eat great sushi right? I was going through the menu to order my regular catipillar roll, rainbow roll and whatever the chef recommended. Well The chef came over with the waitress and suggested 3 of their most popular rolls.

Sushi vampire- (shrimp tempura, crab, cucumber, avocado topped w/ baked spicy lobster tail, eel sauce and green onion) spicy but delicious.

Confidential- Panko shrimp tempura, cucumber topped w/tuna, salmon, ebi, avocado, spicy crab, tobiko eel sauce. Huge!

Then my fav.
Grand Canyon- Panko shrimp tempura, tuna, avocado, topped w/ baked spicy scallop with garlic, tobiko and eel sauce,

I can not say how great the rest of the menu is but I can not wait to try the sashimi and discover the other items.

My only complaint, which is not really their fault, is that all the clientelle wanted to talk to the chef and the waitresses, that the service was a little slower than normal at first. But at the end, come to find out, they are just very friendly. Even the customers leaving came over to our table to tell us that we were about to have a party in our mouth......(insert joke here). It was delicious no doubt and I can't wait to take my brother (who is a sushi chef @ a big downtown resto) here to get some ideas.
I never write revews but i think that if it wasn't for the others who have written before I might have not found such a gem. So here is my input.
Enjoy

Excellent food, but thoughtless chef. I was enjoying my dinner at the sushi bar, when, all of a sudden, there's a nasty stench arising because the sushi chef decides to blow-torch a fish a few feet away from where I'm sitting. When I complained to him about it, the response was, "Well, we have to get ready for the dinner crowd.", as if my enjoyment of the meal was irrelevant. I guess it never occurred to them that they could prepare it back in the kitchen next to a decent ventilation unit.
