how's the kashrus. Is it cholov Yisroel?
Never saw a Jew behind the counter...

Is rabbi teitz a recommended hashkacha by the mainstream kashrus organizations?

The kashrus is excellent. They have cholov yisroel options IIRC. Rav Teitz is definitely accepted and recommended. He's the main posek of the town and is widely accepted.

Does sushi rice have anything added to it? If not then it likely does not need a hechsher at all.
