On June 25, 2025, my colleague/friend brought me here for a birthday lunch. I like trying new places so, I was looking forward to it. My first impression is that the place seemed decent, clean enough, and the people there seemed nice enough.

We ordered some rolls; the caterpillar roll, the crunch scallop roll, one other roll, and the spicy tuna roll. I did not care for the crunch scallop roll because between the cream cheese and the mayo, all I tasted was cream cheese/mayo. It was a bit much and overpowered any other tastes/flavors present.

I also ordered a salmon plate. The salmon was alright buy definitely not the best that I have tasted. It came rice and a choice of two sides; a choice of three salads, and soup. I chose miso soup and the cucumber and seaweed salad.

I cannot say anything about the other salads because I did not try them but, I was not fond of the oil/dressing that was used with the cucumber and seaweed salad. I had to make myself tolerate it but, if my food is too oily or greasy, I cannot eat it. The oil/dressing used made the salad super oily and it soon got into the rice and salmon. It was a struggle because it was nearly too overwhelming for me but, I made myself eat it.

The place was alright but, it definitely is not high on my list for repeat visits.

Been a customer for many years. But thus gives me pause, rotten tuna on rainbow roll.
Beware of the sushi freshness.

I've been always a fan of SanSai, food is great, fresh. Martin and his team do a great job upholding SanSai standards. I used to frequent the one in Hawthorne, so this Carson location is really good. Yakisoba is one of my favorite dishes.
