illarai blueOctober 1, 2015We waited a little bit when we first got there, but it was worth it! The service was speedy once we were seated. A server said people had been eating, then sitting for a long time, hence the wait.
@JaumePrimeroFebruary 24, 2013This sushi joint is tasty. I ordered the 4 x 4, also recommend the hot hot shauna and the ninja roll. Very reasonably priced! Tip: get the carafe of plum wine.
Clarissa RullanSeptember 27, 2013Bring coins with you if you plan to dine here during the day before 6pm. Most parking near the area is metered parking, and the patrol people very diligent. 25¢ = 12 minutes.
If you like octopus try the Takoyaki! They are a tasty fried rice ball with pieces of octopus! A traditional Japanese treat🙏😊🙆
have a Drink Special (Sapporo and house sake for $5.50). Makes for great sake bombs.
Joshua LivecchiOctober 6, 2014Check out the monthly specials! Plus this is a great place if you have a group of people! They as do take out if you are in a hurry.
The waiters are not retarted. The sushi is as good as you are going to get for the price. The waiters do the best they csn to accommodate. I am thankful we have someplace like sushi deli.- illarai blueOctober 1, 2015If you like lemon, order the Hadouken! Deliciously zesty with sweet fish!
Jon BlajApril 1, 2012Shrimp lovers perfect combo: Navavava Roll & Shrimp Killer Roll. Get a side of spicy mayo and teriyaki sauce to top it all off! Mmmmm.- Noe ChavezFebruary 10, 2011I LOVE this place!! I don't eat seafood but I love that they have great alternative (non-fish/crab/eel/seafood) rolls. I recommend the Hot Hot Shauna, I'm addicted to those.
EricJanuary 23, 2015Chicken kutzu and the crunchy roll are the bomb get the drink special too to make it a great lunch- Clarissa RullanSeptember 27, 2013They have expanded their space a few months back. Very nice! Worth the revisit if it's been a while.
Best sushi buy in town. Check the daily/weekly/monthly specials to make it even better.
Roger MaApril 3, 2012Been coming here on and off the last 6-7 years or so and their raw fish has never been fresh! Cheap prices though, definitely not a place for sushi snobs
Daniel GeddisJanuary 24, 2014Good deals & value. Try to beat the weekday lunch crowd by arriving a little before 12PM.- There is always a but if a wait but the cheap prices make up for it. San diego roll and the Verano rolls are my favorite!
Veronica AAugust 20, 2013Good for getting drunk during happy hour, if you can stand the wait. Decent rolls, not for the sushi connoisseur as it's a little lower grade, but certainly a step up from the grocery store.
Really good sushi, but expect to wait for a table 1 hour
Danny VigilSeptember 29, 2013slow service but the food is good and cheap! i liked the sushi Deli in Downtown better!! ;)
Mm tempura udon is so good :) ask for the tempura on the side though. Crunchy rolls are also the best!
KateJanuary 9, 2011Try the Mexican Tuna Roll, oh! And don't forget to ask for a side of Dynamite sauce...it's Dynoooooooomite! ;)
Paul SmithMay 20, 2016It was alright... There are way too many options for sushi in hillcrest, this is one of the ones towards the bottom of the list ... Imo
The san diego roll is delicious, the whole roll is battered and cooked tempura style. Did I mention the crunchies?!- Bud light drafts now $1.99, but still worth every penny!
IngridSeptember 27, 2014Not my style and or taste for sushi. Won't be back here again unless it's for sake bombs! Sake and Sapporo reasonably priced. 🍶
We waited over an hour and when we were seated at 8:45 we were told this was the last call for food. Ouch. There are still a lot of people waiting and I wonder if they will get to eat.
The best sushi ! And good prices ... But could be a long wait
