With two locations, Sushi Go! makes a stellar effort to cater to the South County college students who love their sushi. At each end of the night, pre-rolled sushi and edamame are 50% off to ensure freshness the next day, and to give back to the budget-conscious college students. Both locations open Monday-Saturday 11am-9pm and Sunday 11am-7pm. Wakefield location is Belmont Market, 401-783-4656. Newport location at 215 Goddard Row, Brick Market Place, 401-849-5155. www.sushi-go.com
