12 Best Sushi Bars near Grover Beach

“This may be the best sushi in California. I’ll call it gourmet sushi.“

“Great food and great service“

“My grandson and I went here on Valentine's day! We had the deep fried Sushi fish rolls. Chicken teriyaki with rice and tempura veggies. All good! This place is so busy all the time that my grandson and I remarked it would be great if they could get into a bigger place! I also had some red wine that was very good

Vegetarian options: They have a really good Japanese vinegar cucumber salad that my grandson likes. He's always liked it from age 8 and now he is 14. They also have seaweed soup that is good and a lot of tempura veggies and California rolls with veggies and avocado.“

“Food is always amazing and extremely tasty. The waitress is super knowledgeable and extremely helpful, she is always super polite and remembers faces. But that could just be me because we go there a lot lol The food is comforting, the atmosphere is pleasant and calm. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant!“

“This sushi place was a pleasant surprise. The food was great, the service outstanding and the decor comfortable and attractive. It's nice to have an excellent sushi place in Nipomo.“

“Excellent food. A little spendy but certainly delicious. I had an one of the best oyster shooters. I would return.

Parking: Easy in, easy out. This location is in a strip mall.

Kid-friendliness: I wouldn't think so. Small, quiet, and it's sushi, there's that.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes!“

“One of our go to Sushi and Japanese food restaurants in SLO for many years. Top quality fish, including for all options for nigiri and sashimi. Everything we have tried is excellent.

Our top 5 favorite/goto sushi rolls are:

Cherry Blossom Roll
Hawaiian Roll
Dragon Roll
Grand Tasty Roll
Kumiko Roll

We have tried many of their offerings but due to a mild shrimp allergy in the family tend to avoid dishes/sushi rolls with shrimp or at least shrimp that is easy to pick out if the roll for the one family member. Portions are of good size, and always fresh and excellent. All the standard sides for a sushi place are very good, with no disappointments ever for us. The only dish I heard less than positive feedback on from people I know is the baked green muscles, so if this a fav for you maybe don’t order at any of smaller sushi restaurant in SLO.

The Kumiko Boat is a excellent choice, if are less of a raw sushi fan, order a extra California, Crunch or spicy tuna roll with it to turn that extra roll into an amazing extra custom rainbow roll for the sashimi pieces, it also comes with 2 midi soups, order more at under $2 ea if a bigger group, and comes with a decent size combo salad that includes seaweed salad, cucumber salad, and in out order what I think was smoked octopus salad, anyway it was delish, and I’m sure subject to chefs choice changes. Sashimi pieces are thick, most if sliced thinner and in half could be used to top 4 basic roll pieces.

DISHES WE FREQUENTLY ORDER:
(⭐️ = on our families favorite, 2-3 of starred choice with every order we make 😋):

⭐️ Tempura (mixed or vegetable)
⭐️ Edamame
Kumiko vegetable roll
Cucumber salad
Poki salad
⭐️ Dragon Roll
Salmon tempura roll
Golden California or Golden tempura roll
Rainbow or Rainbow crunch roll
⭐️ Grand tasty roll
⭐️ Hawaiian roll
⭐️ Cherry Blossom roll

And also in the family favorites frequently ordered items. (Good, yet nothing special either):

⭐️ Gyoza
⭐️ Miso soup
Teriyaki (any type)

We typically order take out or delivery but have enjoyed eating restaurant on several occasions and always enjoyed. If a special occasion. Can think of a couple of alternatives that reservations in SLO & Pismo as alternatives for special occasion dining atmosphere.

All in all highly recommend!“

My nigiri salmon was very inexpensive and with 2 large pieces!
My vegetarian udon was super great, too!!!

“Friendly, excellent service, food, parking, *****+“

“Hadn't been in here for a couple of years and was pleasantly surprised. I always liked them for their cheap lunch boxs before, but previously was underwhelmed with their dinner. We stopped in for dinner with our daughter. She was excited about the sushi and the seaweed salad, but most importantly really enjoyed the fish tank. I ordered off of the 1/2 price rolls menu since it used to be a decent deal even though the rolls were smaller... well boy was I wrong this time. My first roll was the paradise roll and it was HUGE. It was basically a sushi roll with a sushi salad on the side. The staff was friendly, the food was really good and fresh and the value is great!“

“We were hungry so stopped at this place. Had to wait 20 min. but it was worth the wait. the samon coller was extreamy tasty. The sushi with the garlic chips was surprisingly tasty. They had great customer service. No pictures because we were hungry.“

“I had dinner in Paso a week ago. I noticed when I was looking on line at my bank withdraws they charged me twice. It was 12.60 and showed the next day the same charge. Whice was the same day we went in to tell them. We only ate there the one time. We went in to talk to a manager and he wasn't there. The girl working called him. (The owner)He wasn't very good with his customer service. He wanted us to come back the next day at 4 and he'd look at it. He should have told her to just take care of us. I had printed out my statement to show them. We've been eating there for as long as they've been open. I left irritated, it wasn't a 50.00 charge. It was under 13.00. Long story short I went to my bank and they stopped the second charge. Now I will only use cash if I go in there. The owner should have just taken care of us! Food is always good. Ate in the one in San Luis Obispo and they were good also. Just disappointed how he didn't handle it.“
