“Food is awesome n delicious“

“They say the 3rd time is a charm.
We tried to get in 2 different times but they were full.
On the 3rd try we understood why it's so crowded the food was fabulous. Hubby got drunken noodles loved them and I had Crispy Chickee and loved it also.
Try it you'll love it.“

“This place is amazing. So yummy and the owners and staff are so kind and always attentive and the food is fresh.“

“Absolutely Delicious! SO Fresh! Great Customer service as well!“

“Sky Sushi has great service . The staff is great . The food is amazing. If you haven’t been there you need to go and try the food .“

“Can’t say enough about the goodness here at my first visit. My son who is 7 took one bite of my me so hot and it was his. The noodles were cooked perfect and the broth was to die for.

A bit out of my way but I found my new ramen obsession!!“

“My brother, husband, and I have been coming here for years. This is our local spot for sushi, and we will be lifelong customers for sure! We love their happy hour specials (from 3:30-5:30). When we can't decide what to eat, we get the lunch bento box combo and it hits the spot every time! I think I've tried every non-spicy roll on their menu. If you're down to get something that tastes as fantastic as it looks, go for the Cucumber Special Roll. It won't disappoint!“

“Teriyaki Chicken and Tempura Vegetables“

“yellowtail roll is amazing!“

“Amazing food and service. They really care about both the experience and their customers. Definitely a place to come with an open mind and a serious palate for food as this is some of the most complex foods I’ve tried in a while. Loved it.“

“Many options including poki bowls, curry, ramens and sushi. I went with sushi and the fish was very fresh and the portions were generous.“

“1st timer here!

I read through the bad reviews and happy to share some advice. As far as wait time, it’s to be expected for this type of dining. I went in with the expectation of waiting, just check in and they will text when ready. As far as the quality, everything tasted fresh!! You get a full plate of veggies with tons of oils, sauces, and spice to add to your broth. Make sure to ask questions about the broth, some are simple so that you can add your preferred flavors. It seems like this isn’t a typical traditional hot pot set up and I’m totally okay with it. I actually enjoyed having my own pot and I was able to eat the entire thing.

Paid a little more for the premium meat, ribeye and short rib… I regret NOTHING! I guess I’m only sad that I didn’t have more of their pumpkin slices - pairs so well with the meat!!“

“Teriyaki Chicken and Tempura Vegetables“

“Super tasty food, super reasonably priced. Highly recommend!“

“I've been following them since before they became Mot'to. The freshness in flavors, everything perfectly cooked, char grilled proteins and veggie skewers 🫠🫠🫠 I used to eat here every day when the original place was in San Marcos but I do not mind driving down a little more for my fix. Great job ! See y'all soon!
Bf loves the sushi Rolls, generous sizes
I love their spicy pork loin bowl, their shrimp and spicy chicken entree plate with the most delicious salad sides 👌👌👌👌 definitely a family fave.“

“It's amazing. Simply amazing. Great customer service. Delicious sushi. Good music. Love love love.“

“Im actually annoyed that I didn't know about this place sooner. The food was great and a big portion. I didn't get a chance to snap a photo of the gyozas because I inhaled them as I was drying back to work. The thai boba drink was perfect. Like the terminator, I'll be back.“

“It is a fun place to be! variety of foods available.“

“Está riquísimo todo 100% recomendado“

“I'm not a sushi fan, but I love their gyoza (Japanese fried dumplings), which I usually order with the house salad. Everything is fresh and well prepared. Outdoor seating available. It will be a shame if this place closes when the Regal is torn down in January. I will miss it.“

“Awesome the freshest sushi I’ve ever had“

“I love it“

“Where can I begin? Have you ever walked into a place and just felt like you were in heaven? The attention to detail as you walk into the restaurant and look around, every detail seems to have been given great thought. There was a place for women to store their bags without putting them on the floor. The food was absolutely breathtaking. From the sashimi that melts in your mouth, the appetizers that start the meal just right, the rolls you can’t find anywhere else to your classic favorites, the drinks that are exceptional, to the desserts that you just don’t want to stop at one, this place will not disappoint! I don’t think I can ever go to another sushi restaurant again after this meal! If you ever want to see heaven on earth in a restaurant, be sure to book a reservation so you do not miss out!!!“

“good sushi, and the teriyaki samon is delicious.“

“Today was our first time visiting, and to be perfectly honest, this will be our new go to for sushi, even though we live in Ramona. Everything from the appetizers to the drinks and service was great. It seems like it would be a great spot for game or fight nights as well!“

“Came with a few friends, clean quiet place to eat, waitress was nice and friendly. Took a while for the food to come but overall it was good. Would recommend most rolls except the surf and turf, weird flavor combination but still decent. A little pricy but a good experience to go and eat. Would come back again.“

“Loved this hidden gem. We’ll be back! Everything including wine was delicious. 🥰🙏🏼“

“Good sushi 🍣 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃“

“Hooked on sushi never fails us. Always great food. We love this place“

“Ordered the Alaskan Roll for pick up. Excellent online ordering system with easy payment (and flexible options). I was concerned that the salmon would be smoked (I’m not a fan of the smoked variety), so I made a note about it. They prepared my order perfectly and included a note, “Not smoked… enjoy!” They even included the extra ginger I requested. Easy pick up and the sushi roll was excellent and very tasty! When I went inside to pick up my order, it was packed and the energy in the room was very happy and warm. Highly recommend this place!“

“Best sushi since Iroha in Sherman oaks. Just way above the others in san diego“

“Umai Sushi is a hidden gem! The sushi is always fresh and delicious—especially the baked salmon roll, which is hands-down the best I’ve ever had. The staff is super friendly, and the owners go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Great service, great food, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“First time coming in and we are so happy to have found a new sushi place!
We ordered miso soup, spider roll, lemon roll, and the Gloria-everything was perfect. Each roll is really thought out and tastes amazing. Quality is above the rest. Prices are great. Sushi chef knows what he is doing for sure. Our server was super knowledgeable about the rolls and was attentive. Can’t wait to come back and try more items. Thank you for a great meal, Waraii.“

“absolutely great. if ever back in Cali will definitely do again“

“The staff is vey sweet sand helpful“

“Excellent flavor combinations.

I have not seen the selection of this many fish selections anywhere in North County. Place is always clean and organized.

The price is reasonable, especially for the taste!!
The staff is very attentive. They will mix your rice and salad together or any other combination upon request.
I appreciate that. Always tip for good service!

Update... okays, how come the staff doesn't say hello when you walk in? I was the only customer.“

“I will always come here for sushi when I visit my family from outta state. Went on Tuesday evening: host was quick to get our table of 6 accommodated, waitress and staff in general are always so sweet....the spicy garlic edamame is ☝🏽 and the Sea Spider roll was life-alternating--straight up transcendental🤤💫 the quality of the buttery yellowtail nigiri was just 🤌🏽✨ My dad gets the chefs special/dealers choice and they make it sing every time 😇🙏🏽 The fried rice and bento box for kids is worth praise as well. Obviously I'm a big 🪭“

“Greeeat food, service and music.- Loved it, I’ll definitely comeback when I’m im town again!! — PS.- Shaky/Shivering tables was weird to my Amigo Joe though.- What was that!? 😆“

“This place is always amazing. The staff are always great and the food is so good it’s absurd. Ninja rolls all day long! Mmmmm“
