Fresh sushi. Large selection of specialty rolls. The service is mediocre. Good priced lunch specials.

Brickway
234 Wickedon St

The Brickway serves breakfast, which is available all day, and lunch. The wait can be long on a weekend morning, but it is worth it for the chocolate chip and banana pancakes. If savory is your thing, you can’t go wrong with one of their unique omelets.
