Quality varies depending on where you go and what you want. There's a place run by koreans which serves american chinese food, a selection of noodle soup, and has a hibachi set-up in the back room. They've got by far the best quality fish in their sushi. Then there's the place where you can get any beer (including japanese imports) for a buck if you order food. And the place that's supposed to be french-style japanese called "japonais" which looks like nightclub, and the place that's basically a lunch counter a block away from campus, etc...

I really loved the bit about soaking your food in the soy sauce until it was "noticably heavier".

I was suckered until the vinegar part, too, although the woman's face as she poured the beer and the reference to lower-income people made me terribly suspicious. Fabulous!

Some of the better Japanese places have fresh fish provided every day - pretty much as fresh as what you would get on the coasts. Others let the fish sit a while and you can tell. The good stuff is expensive here, compared to say Hawaii where I got the most amazing all-you-can-eat sushi for $20 or so. We have good and bad sushi here in Columbus, Ohio.

In fact I'm consistantly disappointed when I go for sushi in other US cities, which may be my own hometown bias. Certainly if you like geoduck, there's no better place for it than the PNW (not even Japan). Seattle does pretty good when it comes to sushi.
