It was better before they changed their menu :( something about their sushi burritos is off and they're not as good as it used to be2023 edit: they're back to what they were before! Plus they have poke bowls now. Definitely recommend the sushi burritos now, they're so good!

I got food poisoning from a poke bowl here 26 hours ago. I have only been that sick once before when I was in Thailand. What a nightmare.I used to like this place a lot but now I will never be returning. Be warned!

Had a great poke bow that really hit the spot! The customer service is pretty good. They're very busy in here so expect that. The dining section has some nice tables for two and a few for slight bigher groups. The bathroom was clean and for customers only, so it's locked and theres a key at the front desk. Water is given in a little tank and drinks to purchase are behind the front counter. They also have benches inside to wait on, if one is grabbing takeout.

Sushi Secrets is the best poke in Berkeley because it explores the full taste/texture landscape. Poke is a game of tastes and textures. With 5 basic tastes and maybe 5 big textures, there is a 25-taste-texture ingredient-space to exist in. Two bites means 25*25 = 625 mouth-possibilities. Sushi Secrets is where you go to optimize actualization of mouth-possibilities for the dollar. Within this taste-texture space, there exists a theoretical equilibrium of mush, but the point is to dance around it. Their ingredients are extremely fresh. If there was a 0-1 value for freshness, their pineapple was a 1.1, it literally broke my preconceived notions of what pineapple could be. Almost candy-like, and cut into perfect chunks for a burst of refreshing-sweet, usually after umami. It is fun to go umami-heavy. At other places, your proteins are all mushy, but here it can be crunchy too. Having fried stuff gives you a way bigger subset of the 625 outcome space. The crisp-umami/creamy-sour combo is good. Try it out... there's multiple ways to reach that. You can tell that they think about how the ingredients work together as they make the bowl, so that it forms in perfect ratio. They don't skimp -- I've never gotten that rice-only feeling with them. This poke is at the pinnacle of what poke can be. Also the sushi is good. The world needs to experience this place. It is one of the greatest human experiences. If I was CEO of the world I would get it catered for lunch every day. If I was AGI I would mobilize Sushi-Secrets factories across the world so that everyone could experience this. If I was a simulated consciousness I would calibrate myself on this.

Found this place by accident! The place is small but comforting and very clean. The staff is nice. Street parking only, however conveniently right next to Berkeley downtown BART station. They serve sushi burrito and bento box as well as some variety sushi roles. Many to choose from. I had the sushi burrito No.7 Berkeley Charito. It was very delicious! I would definitely be back here again soon!
I got the build your own sushi burrito. It was my first time and I would definitely go back again! It was so good! The honey avocado sauce is excellent! Definitely recommend to anyone if they like poke bowls but in a burrito version! If I could give 10 stars. I would. I normally don't leave comments for restaurants but sushi secrets deserve one!

This is a quick bites takeout shop for sushi, sushi burritos and some hot dishes. I highly recommend the sushi and the sushi burritos. They use good fish and provide generous portions.

Best poke we’ve had! The Chicken Gyoza we’re delicious too. The service was really speedy and the prices were really reasonable.

We have only used this place for take-out (poke and tuna bowls) and they have been solid. It's easy to order online and easy to pick up the order, especially if you know that the order is ready (from their message) and you have a driver who can hover on Shattuck while you run in and get the food.

We ordered poke bowls and sushi from here the other night and it may be my new favorite sushi place. The fish tasted fresh and I loved the flavor of everything! And for what you get, the price is fairly cheap. I'm so happy I found this place. Would recommend!
