“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.“

“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 .“

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

“Happy Hour is such a good deal - pretty much everything is 50% off - apps, sushi, special rolls, entrees. Only sashimi, drinks and a small section of the rolls are not on sale.
the yellowtail nigiri I had was super fresh.
Crispy rice was excellent!
Rolls are huge! But not in a good way. I like traditional size that fits nicely in your mouth in one bite, but they have american size rolls, oh well.“

“Food was great, service was good, I got the animal lovers with brussels sprouts, it’s got a rich broth, great noodles, and everything came out fresh and warm, went on a rainy day so it was a busy. What stood out to our table most was our server Zarina. She was amazing and incredibly attentive, checking in on us at the perfect times. She gave amazing recommendations and made the whole experience feel even better. Definitely a spot I’d come back to with reasonable prices.“

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

“Teriyaki Chicken and Tempura Vegetables“

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

“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.“

“Teriyaki Chicken and Tempura Vegetables“

“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!!“

“Awesome the freshest sushi I’ve ever had“

“Act of kindness and respect. My husband is a Vietnam vet. We ordered our food at the counter. We didn’t notice the placard at the counter saying “ we give discounts to vets”. Our number was called and we went to the counter, paid and brought the delicious Japanese food to our table. I asked Buddy, did you get your discount? He was unaware. We inquired about it mid meal. They offered to re-ring our tab. We said don’t bother, we’ll get you next time. The owner or manager not sure who he was didn’t let it go. He noticed we were drinking water with our meal. He came over with bottled water and said this is for you. We honor all veterans. Thank you for your service. It really touched our hearts. Made our day. Not to mention the food was excellent and fresh“

“I usually don’t to restaurants that are overly broad with the foods they serve, but I’m glad I did! This place is excellent. I shared the 2 x $25 meal (gyu-don and chicken karaage) and a salmon poke bowl. Karaage was super light and crispy and the gyu-don was exactly what I was imagining. The salmon poke bowl also great, with a mix of raw and seared salmon. The seared salmon was a great touch! Overall, everything was delicious and very good portions. I will definitely be returning to try some other menu items!“

“yellowtail roll is amazing!“

“Está riquísimo todo 100% recomendado“

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

“This is a very casual place for decent food. We got seaweed salad, edamame, and a handful of rolls. It is kid friendly since it is so casual which is nice. The food is decent but not amazing. They serve it in to go containers even if you are dining in. So like I say- very casual. It works out so you don’t need to ask for to go containers if you have leftovers :).“

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

“I love it“

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

“Such a lovely place with a wonderful atmosphere. The interior is beautifully designed and full of small details that make the space feel special.
I was especially impressed by the fresh flower arrangements — they are incredibly stylish and thoughtfully composed. As someone who really appreciates aesthetics, this detail made a big impression on me.
The service was warm and attentive, and the rolls was very fresh with beautiful presentation.
We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“I recommend the lovely Gloria roll. It is absolutely delicious.“

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

“Fresh fish, a great variety, and friendly staff! While it can get very busy with both dine-in and takeout orders, the team stays on top of it well. The chefs are happy to customize orders upon request. The outdoor patio is a huge plus, and their 50% off specials are awesome!“

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

“Good sushi 🍣 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃“

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 at Harney Sushi and I would definitely go back! We ordered the Rainbow Role, Maui Wowii, Yellow Mellow, harney-peños, roasted shishito peppers, calamari, salmon nigiri, vegetarian fried rice, and crunch rolls. Everything was delicious! I can’t wait to try other items. The DJ was on point with his music choice and our waitress was a doll (forgot her name but she reminds me of the beautiful Rosario Dawson)“
