Great place to go if you're hungry as the rolls are huge. Not a lot of options for fish though (salmon, tuna, unagi and shrimp). Most of the sushi is basically a California Roll with a kind fish on top. You order and pay at a window. Basically whether you say for here or to go, you're getting your food in to-go containers. They have a 4 small tables that are perfect for 2 people that are lined up along a skinny hall. Sushi took a while to prepare. We did have 7 rolls but it was a wait. We ordered: Philadelphia Roll (2) Alaska Roll Dragon Roll Double Tuna Roll Double Salmon Roll Hawaiian Roll Edamame - plain. Not salted. Miso soup - okay Seaweed Salad - very gooey Overall the sushi all kind of tasted the same.
Was craving some sushi and haven't been here in a while so decided to stop by. I ordered an advance, the Normandy roll and a spicy tuna roll. I completely forgot how large the pieces were for each roll. I should've only ordered one, if you look at the pictures, it's hard to tell, but those are giant bites of sushi. Everything tasted great, I did prefer the Normandy Roll over the Spicy Tuna Roll. Both were supposed to be spicy, but were very mild. I asked for some extra spice on it. They gave me a little container of Sriracha. Minor warning, even if you order in advance through their website, I don't think they start making the role until you arrive. On the app, I waited until it said my order was ready for pick up before I walked over to the counter and when I arrived, they verified what my order was and then it took another 10 or 15 minutes for them to complete the rolls. Another minor issue, their wasabi and their ginger comes in little tiny packets --- I tossed them in the trash. This is definitely a to go place, but they did have a little bit of seating outside overlooking the parking lot. it actually wasn't that bad at night with the lights from the street.
Not bad. Seems designed for ucsd students who need a reasonably priced sushi fix. The portions are on the larger side (lots of rice). You go into a strip mall, look up and you'll see a delsushi sign. Go up the stairs and see a long narrow walkway. There are a few 2-top tables. It's more of a takeout spot-and they take triton dollars. I'd call I the order bc it takes a minute. Took about 20m for my 3 roll order. I'm guessing folks get a lot of baked rolls but I opted for Cali and Alaskan rolls. Service was fine.
This is a great late night sushi spot to try! (and it accepts triton cash for ucsd students) There were several sauce options and each roll was pretty good. The spicy tuna crunch roll was definitely my favorite and really refreshing. The spot only has outside sitting from what I saw but there is a good amount of seating. If you want to eat there I'd recommend it on a night that isn't so chilly!
DelSushi operates out of a second level suite in the Villa La Jolla Plaza that is in close proximity to the UCSD campus. The seating was all outdoors in a narrow corridor in front of the entrance. You can't sit inside, and orders were taken at the doorway like during the middle of the pandemic. A menu sheet with photos along with a multiple page menu booklet were available for viewing. The focus was not only for takeout and delivery but also towards the nearby students with a late night closing time of 11:30 pm. Over thirty types of maki rolls were offered with the most expensive ones priced at $17.99. Appetizers, wonton soup, dumplings, potstickers, and rice bowls were the other categories so it wasn't only sushi being sold here. All of the menu prices seemed reasonable, especially for those on a limited budget like college campus residents. I chose a Love Love Roll and the Pork, Shrimp & Chive Dumplings for my meal. It took at least 10 minutes for the kitchen to prepare the two items. The roll was riceless and consisted of six pieces of tuna, spicy tuna, and avocado served in a plastic takeout container. The spicy tuna had a light bit of heat to it. The dumplings came as a quantity of twelve. They were freshly boiled and served on a rectangular plate. Condiments like soy sauce, vinegar, and hot sauce were provided on the side. For $13.99, the quality was good for such a price. If you have a late night sushi craving and live close by, then DelSushi can satisfy that urge.
Incredible sushi at a great value. The pieces are huge, and the service is charming and very friendly! It is a small venue with outdoor seating only, on the second floor of the town center. Very much worth a visit if youre a local or out of town traveler.
This place isn't awful per se but they cheap out on ingredients. I ordered 3 rolls and the fish/eel was so thinly sliced I felt cheated. These sushi rolls are big but mostly fake crab. The avocado is cut at an angle to make it seem like it's a decent sized piece. But when you turn the rolls over you can't see the avocado on the other side. Prices are on the cheaper side and you definitely get what you pay for :/ I recommend seeking out other sushi options if you want to actually eat sushi and not repeated mouthfuls of fake crab.
Absolutely delicious! Found this place searching for sushi nearby. The rolls are MASSIVE! I definitely was not expecting the rolls to be so big. Full of flavor and definitely satisfied my sushi craving. If you're a fan of baked rolls, get either the baked salmon or the dynamite. They're so good! Everything was yummy; even the California roll. Support this local business and you will not be disappointed!
I found this place on-line, site unseen, and walked up to pick my order up from a small, kitchen-only sushi spot (there are a few seats outside, but not really a place you want to dine at). It seems family run, and when I said my name, the woman almost apologized for the fact the maguro I ordered was really otoro. Ok, wow! Yes please! I go to a sushi place in America for the fresh fish, not cooked, and this is the best sushi and nigiri I have had in a long time (if not attempting to go to a Michelin star type place). What a find! Also, I would have spent much less money if I knew the nigiri orders contained 8 pieces instead of the more usual 2 ... but no matter because my kids gobbled it up. Highly recommend this place and wish I lived here instead of the Bay Area because this would be a regular in my rotation.
The food was absolutely amazing. We tried the baked salmon and that was delicious and I wish we had more than two! My favorite part of Delsushi is how generous they are with the fish, especially with the salmon roll, that's definitely a must have. I'm pretty sure the first picture is of the del sushi roll and it was so huge we had to cut it up so that felt a little wrong. Service was great and quick(but not too quick that it was premade if you know what I mean). Lovely little place and the patio was nice but definitely more of a take out place but the seating was nice.
Oh I was craving late night sushi, and I really really wanted to love this roll! I'm a huge fan of baked rolls and lobster... yes, please! Unfortunately, the execution of this wasn't that great. Way too much mayonnaise cloaked the flavor of even the lobster and the roll was so mushy. If I tried this place again I would avoid this roll and go for a raw one.

Del sushi really has the freshest sushi! It is so delicious. I was going to try to meet a friend here for lunch and realized they don't open till 3 PM. I think they're really oriented towards satisfying UCSD kids' craving for excellent sushi late, and they're not necessarily a dine in place. But if you're coming through after 3 o'clock they still have a few tables outside, or you can do takeout. The double salmon roll is dope! read more

When I have Japanese cravings at night, I order delivery from DelSushi (La Jolla area of San Diego, CA). I would say it's probably more Japanese American style. Gets the job done when I'm craving sushi at night and when I don't want to venture out. I usually order their: - Pink Lady (Salmon, Crab Meat, Avocado) - No Rice - Philadelphia Roll (Salmon, Cream Cheese, Cucumber) - Double Salmon Roll (Salmon, Avocado on the inside and outside) - Vermont Roll (Salmon, Avocado with Unagi on the outside) Can't you tell that I really crave Salmon? Hahahahaha. The rolls are pretty large in size (I usually order 2). But I usually order after I work out - so I also usually eat the entire thing. ENJOY!! read more

I've stopped in this plaza many times, but decided to order sushi for dinner while staying at the Sheraton La Jolla. I placed an order in person and left my phone number to text me when it was ready. I ordered a cup of the miso soup and the Jessica Roll. Just a small dinner for one. It only took about 10-12 minutes before the food was ready and I was on my way. The roll was very good and hit the spot. I would definitely recommend them for a good sushi to go spot. read more

Absolutely awesome food. Very fresh food. We are was here 3 times. There's not much room to eat nearby, but it was enough for our family of 3. There were a few more tables nearby. The service is at the highest level, they were very attentive to my child and us. They were very polite and helped with the choice. I highly recommend this place to those who love Japanese food. read more

Came here with my girl friend and got 3 rolls. The rolls came out really nice and you can tell the person making it puts attention into it. I would definitely come back again if I wanted a fix of sushi rolls. There is not much to say, just go and try it yourself, my review doesn't matter read more

My friend ordered "sushi" delivery from here last night and it was pretty lame. She ordered 4 different rolls and they were full of rice and not very much fish. It wasn't exactly authentic sushi but it was a Sunday night and they were only delivering until 10 PM so 2 stars just for being available and open.lol. Definitely not repeat, we have leftovers in the fridge which no one is going to eat because who likes leftover sushi?. Are the double salmon roll, pink lady which had no rice which is good and the Jessica roll. Again, I definitely would not recommend. read more

Thanks for your honest review, Elisa. Sorry you did not enjoy your…
We stopped by this place on a Sunday afternoon after craving some sushi. We were surprised that you gotta walk up some outdoor stairs to lead up towards the entrance. There aren't indoor seatings but there is a small table on the outside. We got a Double Salmon and a California roll. Both were delicious. The price is very affordable for sushi rolls. The box might look small at first but they were packed with fish/protein! I absolutely love the Salmon- fatty and buttery yumm! My bf got no complaints about his roll either! This location might even be slightly better than the Irvine location. We would definitely come back if we're ever in the area! read more

Visit Dates: 1/13/21 & 1/17/21 Mealtime: Dinner I worked late one night recently, was hungry and craving sushi, but where I live most of the restaurants close by 9:00 p.m.. I Googled to find a place that would serve sushi after 9:00 p.m. and discovered that Delsushi is open till 11:00 p.m.! It's a little bit farther for me to drive, but ended up being totally worth it, so I went back a few days later and it is now my go-to sushi spot! On the first visit I ordered the Pink Lady ($11.99 - salmon, crab, avocado and no rice) and a Philadelphia roll ($9.99). I usually pay about 7 to $8 for a Philly roll, so I thought that was a little on the high side, but read the reviews that said the rolls were on the larger size. And that they were! On the second visit I ordered the Double Salmon roll ($13.99 - salmon and avocado inside and out) and the California Crunch roll. Actually, I would prefer to have 10 smaller pieces rather than eight large pieces, just because it makes them easier to eat. Besides the delicious sushi, they offered great customer service and even the packaging had a nice touch. Each item was separately packaged in a heavy duty plastic container that had a label to describe the container's contents so if you would order for a large group, it would be easy to tell the orders apart. They put everything in a nice paper bag with handles (rather than plastic) and include packages of low sodium soy sauce, ginger and wasabi. I only wish they would use compostable containers, but since they aren't and these are a higher end plastic, I'm washing them and storing them away for the day I can socialize after the pandemic and use them as to-go containers for food I cook/bake. read more
