Island Sushi in the Park?

Has anyone been to the new Island Sushi in the Big Lots shopping center? If so, what kind of restaurant is it? Obviously it is an Asian sushi type place, but is it just another re-branding of Bon Buffet e.g. Hibachi Grill? Or is it strictly a sushi place? Something in between? I know there is one over in Solomon's, but I have never been to that one.

Thanks,

Did walk in with the intent of getting some takeout but when the host left and didn't come back, so did I.
It's more along the lines of Ashai or Okado. They have the grills and sushi. The sushi menu didn't look all that appealing, rather plain jane.
Place was pretty empty, not sure if anyone was actually sitting at a table, but it's definitely not a buffet.

I stopped by to check it out the other evening and it was pretty dead. The FOOD itself was really good and I was impressed. The food came out relatively quick for my party of five. The service on the other-hand was pretty sub par and the place still had that run-down Bon Buffet look and feel.

I'm hoping it succeeds, but I dont think it is very likely.. it's just a bad location to attract the customers away from the other sushi joints.

what's said is that Bon Buffet was replaced by Hibachi Grill (Bon Buffet by another name) and the place didn't change much.
I don't see it doing a "bang" up business in that location for dinner.
Honestly, if they had made it just a sushi joint and skipped the grills, they might have done a good business at lunch.
