02/15/11Breakfast Salvation at 5 South MainWhen I dropped the car off for an oil change at 7:15 one morning recently, the garage owner informed me that the mechanics hadn’t arrived yet. “Leave it and come back at 8:30,” he said.

Located in the Home Depot Plaza in Plymouth, the restaurant offers an intimate sushi bar located at the back of the restaurant where you can watch the chefs create a variety of fresh specialty rolls, sushi platters, tempura, and sashimi with specials that include my personal favorite, “The Deadliest Catch,” made with spicy tuna and crabmeat inside with cooked spicy king crab and crunch on top.
