An off-the-beaten-path sushi joint called IOU Sushi is slated to open near the Tucson Mall in the next few months.
The name sounds like it's a reference to "Dumb and Dumber," but it's actually a foreign word from the tiny island Pohnpei in the South Pacific. (In the Pohnpeian language, it's pronounced e-yo and means "delicious," according to IOU's website.)
IOU Sushi's owner Rocketchun Holden was raised in the South Pacific, but currently operates two of these sushi restaurants in Boise, Idaho. Menu items at the Idaho locations include a Nan Madol roll with crystal shrimp, seared tuna and crab, as well as a Snow Corn roll with baked red snapper.
The restaurant is going into the Home Depot parking lot at 4280 N. Oracle Road, Suite 180.
