ALOHA SUSHI

This brand new sushi place in Mount Vernon features great prices on quality sushi. The casual atmosphere in their upstairs dining area gives you all the Japanese delights for a fraction of the price of upscale dining restaurants. The best part of their food (besides the cheap price tag) is that it is fresh and tasty, and everything on the menu is worth a try.

Aloha Sushi's main feature, however, is its lower level, which features a full bar and a happy hour that features 35 cent specials on oysters, shrimp, and wings. The downstairs is usually packed with 20-somethings and creates a vibe that will make you want to stay and hang out longer than your meal will. Plus, there's music going the entire time, with an eclectic variety sure to please even the pickiest audience. (And don't forget to ask about Karaoke - you never know when someone will want to break out into song!)
