Wasabi Sushi and Asian Grill took first place with eleven votes, and following close behind was Rhombus Guys with nine. Third on the list was King House Buffet with eight votes, and Spicy Pie followed in fourth with seven. The fifth popular place to eat downtown is Subway, which had four votes. The other 18 percent was scattered among Drunken Noodle, JL Beers, Bertrosa’s, and Juano’s.
