Tried the Sushi Delux and the Maguro+Hamachi dinner, again take-out.  This certainly avoided the too much fake crab issue we ran into last time with the Sakura Special.  Again, the fish was ok but not fantastic.  The seaweed they use has a somewhat different flavor (reminiscent of anise, or some raw shellfish) and was a little too chewy for our taste. Have yet to try the cooked dishes, or dine in, so there's still hope that we'll find something that stands out on the menu.  But so far, there really hasn't been anything compelling or memorable enough to make us excited to go back.

Tried a take-out sushi combination dinner for two.  Presentation was nice, especially for take-out.  The nigiri were decent but not spectacular, and the rolls relied too heavily on imitation crab.  The salad was the typical iceberg with a few bits of tomato and cucumber, with a better-than-average ginger soy dressing.  Overall, the food was passable but not inspired.  Will have to try dining in at some point, preferably at the sushi bar, and see if that makes a difference.  Will also have to try some of the cooked entrees to see how those rate.
