Meiko Sushi offers some of the best sushi in the area, with fresh and delicious options at a reasonable price. Despite the initial appearance, the food quality is excellent. The menu includes great vegetarian options like the nutty roll. The service can be a bit inconsistent, with some customers experiencing long waits, but once you establish a rapport with a server, the experience improves. The restaurant features private booths perfect for families and offers a welcoming atmosphere. The sashimi plates are highly recommended, with the salmon being particularly buttery and flavorful. For those willing to overlook occasional service hiccups, Meiko Sushi is a great spot for tasty and reasonably-priced sushi rolls.
The ambiance inside is charming, with Japanese sliding door style doors that add to the pleasant atmosphere. Customers have praised the outstanding service, with staff being friendly and helpful from the moment they are greeted with a smile. The food has received high marks, especially the Octopus Salad, which is flavorful and not chewy, and the Grill Squid, enjoyed with lemon and spicy mayo despite the spices being a bit strong. The house salad and miso soup are also highly recommended, with the house salad’s dressing described as addictively delicious. Kids meals are generous, with large portions and well-cooked chicken teriyaki that leaves kids happy and full. Unique rolls like the Bubble Roll, light yet flavorful, and the 49er, with smokey tuna and salmon on top, are popular choices. A special surprise was a complimentary corn tempura, perfectly fried and battered—delicious and different. Overall, the experience is fun and enjoyable, with fresh, flavorful food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. A small hot sauce fee of $1 is added, but many find it worth it for their preferred Sriracha.
