Cafe Zen in Durham/ American Tobacco

Has anyone tried Cafe Zen in American Tobacco? Quality, price range?

Had sushi there last time I was in Durham (two months ago or so) it was very mediocre. Also, the special roll I ordered was full of mayonaise and very little fish. My dad had a cooked dish which he enjoyed.

My wife and I ate there last week. The sushi was passable; the nigiri was pretty tasteless and the rolls were just fine. Prices were a little more than most places for sushi around here: nigiri is sold in single pieces for 1.95-3 depending on just what you order. I think rolls were in the normal price range (4-5 for california and up to 9-10 for special rainbow). Service was prompt and managable, but there were only 4 tables in the whole place so that's to be expected. We'll give it another try if only because it's very close to home.

the sushi and sashimi here are not worth ordering, but the other items on the menu are great. i always order the yakisoba. last time i went i made the mistake of ordering the chirashi and the fish was not fresh tasting at all. overall it's a good, inexpensive place to lunch in durham if you stick with the cooked entrees.
