Sushi has good "uns," like uni, and unago. It has bad "uns," like uninspired, uninteresting, and unbelievably priced portions.
Restaurants near Palm Beach Island, or El Cid, often price for blue blood, not blue fin.
I've paid a pretty penny for some amazing sushi, but Sushi Jo is a big NO. Their drum is humdrum, and the yellow tail is fresh, but blah. Even their specialty rolls are more about the fats than the fish.
Does it beat a poké in the eye with a sharp chopstick? Sure.
Is it my go-to neighborhood sushi joint? After living near Sushi Simon, in Boynton?

Hooooo hum! Hoooo hum!
Ho hum, Ho hum,
Buying pricey sushi's dumb,
I'd rather cook
Than get took
Ho hum!
Ho hum
Addendum: Proximity, and desperation, for COVID takeaway, brought me to ordering from Jo. The sushi was slapped down into the containers. She read back the order correctly on the telephone but the order was largely wrong. Phone gal would not take my name, told me that I better get there as they were closing, and hung up on me.
I raced over. Phone gal was very ticky, when I arrived. She kept asking for my name, three times. I kept telling her through my mask (that makes me wonder how Imperial Storm Troopers do it), that she hung up on me while asking if she wanted it. She finally figured out who I was, based on what I ordered.
She told me, imperiously, to sit out in the car. She came out with it. Basically, she tossed it at me, then chewed off the heads of a couple of people who were looking like they wanted to buy food.
"We're closed! "She snapped at them and then ran inside and locked the door ten minutes early.
Hi ho!
Hi ho!
It's sucks to eat at Jo,

And act so rude...
Takeout sushi slap,
Makes it look like c**p,
Hi ho!
