Mako Sushi is in the same Weller Court shopping center as Orochon Ramen, which I reviewed back in 2010.   When you see the Challenger Space Shuttle and the Ellison Onizuka Memorial, it's the three story white building to the west. 

It's a small restaurant with the sushi bar and about four tables on the left, as you enter.  There seems to be private rooms on the right.

Cucumber roll-$7.50.  While very fresh, there was just too much wasbi!  The cucumber was also cut bigger than most cucumber rolls.

Shrimp $6, and blue fin tuna sushi-$7.50.  Shrimp was very good !  Good sized pieces.  The blue fin tuna was silky smooth!  I really liked it.  A good sized portion too.

Shrimp tempura-$9.50.  Frozen shrimp tempura, that was placed in oil that wasn't hot enough.  That made for a very chewy, weird textured tempura.  Three pieces of shrimp along with some vegetable tempura.  Not worth the price.

Service is good.  I was surprised there weren't many people dining on a Friday night.

Overall, I think Mako is fine, but overpriced.  $7:50 for a small cucumber roll?  I won't go back!
I would rate the quality of fish at 8, on a scale of 10.  But, at Kura Revolving Sushi, the fish is a 7, and the prices are much better!
