Is the sushi there any good? I have a hard time thinking about raw fish there knowing what used to be in the building. Yes I'm aware that's irrational.

As someone whose lungs have less life in them thanks to its former digs I gotta say they've done a nice job making me forget the past (but YMMV as I generally just experience the place via pickup).
Sushi wise I'm probably not the best judge as my expectations aren't terribly high and lean toward sashimi/nigiri orders so my roll experience is minimal there but as those orders go, and allowing for one fish to usually be the runt that is unsatisfying anywhere I go, they consistently deliver a majority good experience on my orders.

What used to be in the Thai Diner Too building?

Was referring to Nami, which is in the building that used to house 3rd street diner, which was a dump.

They were closed for so long that I assumed there was something major wrong with the building. We used to enjoy eating there (although there are now tons of Thai choices) and I'll give it a try.

Huh... Ive been a pad thai regular there for years and will continue to be ("American Hot" gang represent!). Wasn't sure what the temp closure was about but wouldn't have guessed this. Look forward to trying out the new menu. Kaewsang fam always seemed like good people and glad they're keeping the place.
While on the topic anyone else been relatively happy to have Nami in the former 3rd St Diner location? Since the area is awash with fried chicken sandwich menus and other unhealthy lunch option it's nice having a sushi option.
