50 Best Sushi Bars near Imperial Beach

“I try the ramen and I loved it! The pieces of meat where big. Next time I will ask for like 79% more vegetables because I do like vegetables. the price was good because if how much meat it had. I hate sushi but love ramen. My whole family loves sushi so I'm happy that I can just drive 5 minutes n not 30 minutes to find a good restaurant. Also they have an area to sit outside in the sun which is a nice option. I left like at 12 noon and it got really full.“

“I got the 'Chef's Choice Sashimi Bento Box' with a salad. My boyfriend got 'Katsu Don'. We also shared a bowl of Garlic Edamame and the 'Dancing Tuna' sushi roll.

The bento box was good. The fish was fresh, the gyoza was the perfect consistency and tasty, the side salad was marinated well with the dressing.

The Katsu Don was also really well put together and was super filling and tasty.

The garlic edamame was like no edamame Ive had before. The sauce they put on the edamame made it the best I've ever had and well portioned out.

The sushi roll we shared was the perfect balance of flavor and textures. Not to spicy. It enhanced the fish flavor with accentuation and made it blend well together.

I think I found another top sushi place.“

“Sushi house is the toyota/honda of sushi places in south SD. You cant go wrong here. Its not trying to reinvent the wheel, its not trying insane new ideas. Its providing the same service, consistently, which is why I keep coming back. Please never change sushi house.“

“U love it. Good sushi chefs! Very enjoyed“

“The Lounge Lizard roll! Molto bene’, y c’est bon.“

“The sushi was amazing! Some of the best I have had! We decided to branch out and try some new nigiri and sashimi that we hadn’t tried and everything we had was great! The location is amazing! My one complaint is that the lighting was oddly bright for a 7 pm
Reservation. The rest of the atmosphere was great except for the lighting.“

“I really enjoyed the food. We got 2 sushi rolls and chicken katsu. All 3 were delicious. My only complaint would be the miso soup which had an odd taste, I believe due to the bowl holding the scent and slight taste of whatever soap was used to clean it. Other than that, it was an enjoyable meal.“

“Been going to this place for over 20 yrs. Beside good excellent food , staff are always friendly never change.. love every time I’m here, it feels like my second home..“

“Tried the Protein Roll and Beef Udon today!
🍣 The Protein Roll was so refreshing – the balance of sweetness and tanginess was perfect. It felt light yet filling, making it a great choice for anyone watching their diet. Highly recommend for health-conscious foodies!
🍜 The Beef Udon had a deep, rich kelp broth with generous portions. Flavorful, hearty, and totally worth it for the price.“

“Everyone who works there is friendly With excellent customer service food was delicious 🤤“

“The owner Ike is the man! This place is great, such fresh hookah changed out every hour, because you can’t smoke ash!“

“The food is amazing, as is the service. My family have eaten there since they opened in 1986. They were small then, when Swenson's ice cream used to be next door. My favorite dish was the champon noodles. It still tastes the same!!“

“Es primera vez que pruebo este sushi y la verdad esta fire 🔥 lo recomiendo al 💯“

“Had a great time here. As soon as we were greeted in I knew it was a mom & pop shop. It was very warm and welcoming. The pad sew ew was delicious and she had great recommendations such as the spring rolls. Reasonably priced and reasonably portioned. I will be coming back again.“

“1st time but not my last!!“

“The owner was very kind and I came with my family even though I asked for takeout, the man told me to go with my wife so I wouldn't worry, he would take the food to the car, nice action on his part and everything we brought was very delicious, thank you ?“

“Great prices! While everything seems to be getting more expensive it's good to know there are some places putting out delicious food for a decent price. The rice is good thats what makes or breaks a sushi spot. We had the Red Dragon roll, Rainbow roll, Philly roll, California roll and some orange chicken all were really good. If you live in National city and want to stay in the area and have goid sushi this is a place worth stopping at.“

“love it, place and food are good.. servers sre friendly.“

“Everything was great. Service and food. Wonderful environment. We throughly enjoyed our evening.“

“I don’t know what happens in SD, but some restaurants (Good restaurants) look empty. This place is nice, good vibe , and good service. I like see restaurants half full, people enjoying food and flowing service and this one has potential for that! 🫶🏼“

“I really enjoy dining here. I was introduced to this spot by an older friend and my wife. They had been coming here for years before any of us met (this place has been here for over 20 years). The food has always been on point, the service has always been excellent and everyone is just so nice when we visit. Consistency in these three things is such a hard thing to find these days and the folks at California Sushi deliver, spot on, everytime we have visited. Thank you all and we look forward to dining with you for years to come.“

“The only negative I have to say is the location. However the food was great. I got the short ribs. The meat was tender. My partner got that katsu and it's the crunch that gets me. Delicious. The Mac salad was good too. No weird after taste of fish oil that I've had at other places.“

“Awesome staff and delicious options, plenty to choose from. I recommend the Go Go Godzilla or the Abre La Boca Mucho Roll. After six years, it's my number one place for Japanese style food.“

“Great healthy food. Best customer service and fresh seafood.“

“Rico rico muy recomendable El Salmon“

“Dunno why the ratings are so low. Food is better than Panda Express and unlike most food places nowadays the portions are actually plentfiul and big. In this economy thats unheard of, so big appreciation to the owners for doing something good for the community. Thats what keeps me coming back, and the food is generally good.“

“Food and service was amazing“
