Sunrise Mart

Me and a hot woman just checked out this newly opened Sunrise Mart on 41st and 5th.  It has a nicely stocked mart tucked in the back, a dining area on the mezzanine level and a fast food take-away/eat-in open kitchen/order counter in the front.  The shop just opens and it has yet to work out its workflow, the ordering is slow and the food counter staff isn't all that knowledgeable or efficient.  The staff overall is courteous.  I ordered a bowl of chicken cutlet with curry over white rice and my lunch date ordered a shrimp tempura udon.  Both were good, especially the udon which in addition to the two shrimps also comes with a few pieces of vegetable tempuras, which is kind of a surprise as the other mart Yagura on the same block just gives shrimps and udon and no vegetable except maybe a few specks of scallion.  The food is definitely on a par with its neighbors: Zaiya, Mai (which opened a couple of months ago but the food isn't as good as the restaurant it replaced.  This is more of a restaurant than the rest of the Japanese establishments there) and Yagura there.  I hope they can work out the kinks very quickly.
