An Embarrassment of Sushi in Charlottetown

When we first moved to Charlottetown in 1993 if you asked someone on the street where the nearest sushi place was they’d be as likely to punch you in the face as point you the right way. Seventeen years later, not a week goes by without an “opening soon” sign going up on a new sushi place, and I’d hazard a guess that it will soon be easier to get a California Roll than it will be to get a Shawarma.

For the record, here’s the list of places where you can get sushi in Charlottetown, open now and opening soon:

• Formosa Tea House, 186 Prince Street
• Monsoon, 79 University Avenue
• Tai Chi Gardens, 119 Pownal Street
• Café So-Ban, Charlottetown Mall
• Zen Sushi, 62 Queen Street
• Sushi Express, 193 Kent Street (opening soon)
• Ta-Ke Sushi, 92 Queen Street (opening soon)
• Sushu Jeju, 260 Grafton Street (opening soon)
