“Great food and service. The atmosphere is average hence the 3 star. The outside seating area and the heaters were GRRREAT. The Sapporo Ramen was delicious, perfectly spicy without being over the top. Kids fried chicken and rice and sweet potato fries were decent and tonkatsu was SOLID. And prices were very reasonable too.“

I still enjoyed my food but the old quality was missing. The staff seemed a little distracted and not on top of the tables. The atmosphere was nice though. I really enjoyed the decor.“

“Me and my Dad frequent this spot, he does business at Palomar College. We've tried all the local Sushi restaurants and this is EASILY THE BEST.Today we had a Sashimi combo each, and I had 3 hand salmon rolls.We usually get a large Kirin each and a large sake to share.HUKU's fish is high QUALITY and the rolls are wrapped expertly. Get something with rice if you wanna get full, but if you are a fan of fish the SASHIMI and hand rolls are AMAZING.The COMPETING RESTAURANTS more EXPENSIVE despite the smaller portions and LOWER QUALITY fish. One local competitor has really cheap sake but it's exactly that, CHEAP and harsh.We think this is the "BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK" sushi in the area!“

“Fresh and high quality fish so for that, 5 stars. We specifically enjoy the salmon here. Wish the rice had more sushi rice flavor and nori around hand rolls were toasted / less soggy—but can overlook because the fish is great. Happy hour salmon asparagus hand roll on the menu says $4, but we were charged $5. Kind of a bummer.“

“My husband and I decided to try this place on a whim since we were in the area. While it is a little on the pricey side, the food is completely worth it. They have the best spicy tuna I have ever had. It wasn't about nuking your taste buds, but a pleasant warmth that enhanced the taste of the tuna. Definitely order the Luna Lemon! We will have to come back because we saw the table next to us order some takoyaki and it looked amazing. I do recommend making reservations for weekend dinner, it was busy there!“

“Went to Sea World over Spring break, after we left we wanted to check out Teri Cafe for dinner rather than eating in the park. Much better food and much more reasonable. This is their second location, had not been to this one before, glad we stopped, great food, great service, Ohana style vibes. You walk in and order at the counter, then seat yourself and they bring it to you. They give large portions here, which I love, not only large portions, but great food as well. Yum! I got the Dinner special #1. Coke with Teriyaki chicken, miso soup, California roll or Spicy tuna roll (for an up charge) potato salad and a huge salad. The plate it comes out on is massive and the food covers it all. I ate a good amount, but did nit finish it all. Saved some for the next day. The teriyaki chicken was tender and grilled nicely, the spicy tuna, salad, potatoes salad and the miso soup were are very flavorful and delicious. You get all that food for $17, what a deal. Our dinner for 4 cost less than what we spend at Sea World for a simple lunch. Enjoy!“

The decorations and environment really sets the scene for the sushi.They have a great layout for lunch and a nice menu full of specials and numerous rolls. The waitress was great and had plenty of recommendations. We ordered a few rolls as well as a lunch special for our table.The food prices especially the lunch special offers all come with miso soup, salad, and the prices are great! They cater a lot to the local businesses.The rolls and food were delicious. Highly recommend this place for a perfect lunch and dinner place! Check it out!“

“Generally reluctant to get Asian food outside of Kearny Mesa but I was pleasantly surprised! Ordered the stone pot with beef and a side of kimchi. The bowl was well balanced with all the veggies and having the option to additionally season your bowl is nice. I will say that it does come with an absolute minimal serving of protein (maybe 2 or 3 oz total) in the bowl and $4 for a tiny side of kimchi is a bit outrageous (total serving size pictured), but can't deny that it was delicious. I'd prefer to go to Kearny but if I was around the area and craving bibimbap, it's a decent option.“

“When it comes to sushi, freshness, presentation, and taste are paramount, and 3Go Sushi surpasses expectations on all fronts. Their Firecracker Roll is a testament to the chef’s creativity, delivering a burst of flavor with each bite that truly lives up to its explosive name. The perfect blend of spice and crunch makes it an unforgettable dish for anyone who appreciates a little heat.The Ninja and Samurai Rolls are masterpieces of culinary art, embodying the essence of their namesakes with stealthy flavor profiles and bold, decisive tastes. The Ninja Roll, with its subtle nuances, sneaks up on your palate, delivering a delightful surprise of textures and flavors. The Samurai Roll, on the other hand, commands your attention with its robust ingredients, perfectly balanced to offer a satisfying and hearty experience.The Spicy Tuna Roll is another standout, offering a fresh and fiery take on a classic favorite. The tuna’s freshness is the star of the show, enhanced by just the right amount of spice to elevate the dish without overpowering the delicate flavor of the fish.Aside from the exceptional food, the service at 3Go Sushi is equally impressive. The staff are courteous, ensuring every guest feels welcomed and valued. Their attention to detail and genuine care for customer satisfaction adds a warm, personal touch to the dining experience.The cleanliness of the restaurant also deserves commendation. It’s evident that 3Go Sushi takes pride in maintaining a pristine environment, from the dining area to the kitchen.

To say the least, we will be back. Sushi was great and reasonably priced. The extra options such as the bento box was delicious. Service was good and they seemed to have many to go orders.
