Full Moon Sushi, it will be called. Of course, if you live in Tustin or are familiar with the area, before Haru Izakaya came along, there were two previous restaurants in there. Both were — you guessed it — sushi joints.
Let's hope Full Moon Sushi has better luck than Fish Shin and Sushi Nizi. Not to mention Haru Izakaya.
Before becoming an award-winning restaurant critic for OC Weekly in 2007, Edwin Goei went by the alias “elmomonster” on his blog Monster Munching, in which he once wrote a whole review in haiku.
