First time customer and let me just say that this was the best Korean food I have ever had! Everything was fresh, the meat was juicy and tender, the spicy california roles were fresh, the fried hibachi puts Benihana rice to shame, like their food is incredible! You have a new repeat customer. Thank you ?

The sushi wasn't bad, but it also wasn't great. Due to the costs of food this is just not a place I would go back to. Again, its was not bad, just not good enough to justify the costs with inflation these days. I ordered 3 different rolls with 3 different fish and it all just kind of tasted the same. I was surprised they didn't have ponzu sauce and the spicy mayo was alright. Not the best, but not the worst.I ordered online to pick up so the service was fine. It was ready when I got there.As far as the atmosphere, it was okay too. Its a carry-out place so there wasn't much to be expected.

Small Mom and pop carry out place. The food is really well done for the price. the owners are very sweet and polite. they make their own soy sauce and I loved it because it is not as salty as our usual soy sauce in Michigan.

Very high quality rice makes for some great takeout sushi. Custom in-house soy sauce dip. Tempura rolls had an extra light crispy texture. Once again I emphasize that the rice in my rolls was really good.Vegetarian options: Simple but delicious veg optionsThe avocado roll was extra fresh.

5 star excellent awesome food and service! Our first time today at California Roll Sushi, and we were very happy with our food. Highly recommend!
I've been here many times - the owner is very nice and if you sit inside and eat it is better. We've never had hibachi just the sushi which is fresh and good. I think they loop little tape balls on everything which seems a little odd to watch, but it sure is nice when you get home and the sauces aren't spilled all over the place. It is good.
