A new restaurant is in
town and if the grand open-
ing has any indication on
how it will fair in Goderich, it
will be successful.
On Wednesday, March 22,
'West Sushi' opened its
doors to the public for the
first time and it was so busy,
the average wait time was
half an hour.
"We didn't have the time
to count, but there was
roughly 350 to 400 people at
the grand opening. Our offi-
cial closing time was 7:30pm
but because of the long wait-
ing line we made food until
about 10pm, said co-owner
Jane Kim.
It appeared that everyone
in Goderich, as well as sur-
rounding areas, on their
lunch break wanted to give
'West Sushi' a try.
Even though the wait time
did scare off some potential
customers who had limited
time on lunch break
(granted, this was opening
day), the consensus of sev-
eral people who attended
the grand opening was that
the food was worth the wait.
Many in attendance at the
grand opening praised how
thick and fresh the rolls
were, especially with the rea-
sonable prices, stating that
they would return and quite
possibly become regular

customers.
"So many people told us
'Welcome to Goderich: We
realized so many people
have waited for us to open,
and thank you Goderich for
waiting for us. We will make
the food with all our heart
and soul", Kim explained
about opening in Goderich.
Other customers noted
how convenient having a
sushi restaurant within
Goderich was, looking for-
ward to not having to drive
to other towns to get their
sushi fix.
In regards to the success
William and Jane Kim hope
for their business 'West
Sushi; they simply stated
that "we want to specifically
contribute to Goderich's
economy and to be a part of
it's atmosphere and
environment"
In a town that already
draws tourists, adding a
sushi restaurant to the vari-
ety of eateries in Goderich
can only assist in the appeal.
