so I've got Yatsuba..

and Sushi.com downtown. I've tried Miki and wasn't impressed.

Are there any other really good sushi places in the near Ann Arbor area I perhaps ought to know about?

Ann Arbor has a surprising number of little sushi places for such a relatively small city. It's to the point that I suspect all these college students are having pizza, Mexican or sushi every night.

That having been said, I have yet to find a sushi place that stands out from the rest that doesn't also stand out for having to pay $25 for a decent lunch.

I had a nice lunch at a shop in Briarwood Mall; they had a reasonable combo for around $10. I had a not-so-nice combo at a place on Washtenaw, just up from the Subway. The guy I was with from work raved about the place; who knows what he'd say to one of the shops I was used to in Chicago.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems there shouldn't be that much variation and level of quality in what is basically fresh raw fish and white rice, with wasabi and soy sauce on the side....nevertheless, there is.

I would check out more dinner-type restaurants, but S doesn't much like fish of any kind, and especially if it hasn't been nicely grilled first. :-)

Another vote for Godaiko

Godaiko and Saica are my favorites for Japanese food in AA. There's also a decent sushi/bakery on the
south side Washtenaw just a bit West of Arborland.

When you're in a hurry, the plastic-box sushi from Meijer's is no worse than any other pre-made sushi
I've had, and better than many pre-made sushi collections.

I've done the all-you-can-eat at Seoul Garden in the past, and with that deal, the price/quantity/quality
ratio comes out pretty good. I wasn't pleased or displeased with the sushi otherwise. For Korean food
in AA, I prefer Kana, Seoul Kitchen (near campus), or Bell's Diner on W. Stadium.
