OEC Japanese Express — Restaurant in Meridian

This is an express. That usually means the seating isn't a primary focus. I found this to be true here. It felt a little sticky and is pretty rundown.

I ordered sushi and vegetables with water for $25. The sushi was very good. Couldn't have been better. The vegetables were not cooked in any sauce and bland.
