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!

Best sushi I've ever had with extremely generous portions at fair pricing. Service was so nice and got the order correct instantly.

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.

super thin pieces of fish :(
Dylan B.

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.

Super Delsushi Roll I think?
Lindsey M.

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.

Baked lobster roll
Connie C.

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.

Always a good time and delicious sushi here we come in every week with family and friends…read more The quality and price are excellent, the ambience is also very upbeat and modern. Chef & Owner Simon is awesome! The staff is also very welcoming and attentive. Can't wait to return to eat here again. Our fave picks: Spicy toro Roll Chef specialty roll Shrimp crunch Hot night roll Sashimi Calamari Garlic shrimp

I came with a party of 7 and it was all of our first time here. We were planning to have some light…read moreappetizers because we also wanted to have a heavy dinner afterwards. We wanted to catch the sunset at La Jolla cove and we noticed there was another Blue ocean there as well... FRIED CALAMARI: 10/10 perfectly crispy, calamari was cooked precisely and flavorful. It was hard to save our stomachs for dinner... SASHIMI SALAD: 10/10 Oh this was the STAR OF THE SHOW! All the fish were hand selected and fresh. What made the dish outstanding was the salad dressing... SURF AND TURF ROLL: 10/10 I mean who a pairing of Steak and shrimp tempura? It's a match made in heaven and was sent straight out of the Blue Ocean Kitchen... SERVICE: Excellent! The chef was also the owner and came out to greet all the customers. He personally made sure that everything was taken care of himself. What a very passionate and caring owner. All the staff there were also very friendly... One of our friends wanted to treat everyone so we joked around and said, "In that case, let's order an omakase box for each of us!" The chef also heard and he joined in on the joke and said are you sure? ok, Omakase boxes for everyone! We had a great time! The Ambiance, the food and the people there are very beautiful and joyous... ABOVE AND BEYOND BLUE OCEAN SUSHI AND GRILL!!!!!

Dinner on a Saturday night…read more My friend lives in La Jolla and suggested trying Akari since it was under newer management from previous years. Everything was great - the service, decor and most importantly, the sushi. I ordered the protein roll, a Philadelphia roll and a beer. Everything tasted fresh and given that we're a beach city, I liked how the protein roll came on a dish in the shape of a shell (see photo). I was happy that they had my Ichiban beer, as not all places serve it, but they only have it the large size and normally I order the regular size. They had comfy booths to sit in and a beautiful mural on the wall, which added to the ambiance. I felt like the restaurant was clean - a very important factor when eating raw fish! I don't get to downtown La Jolla very often, but I will definitely go back here again when in the area. Parking can be a little bit tricky, but we came in the early evening to avoid the later dinner weekend crowd. So we drove around for a bit and finally found a spot. The restaurant is definitely worth the effort!

GOOD SUSHI IN LA JOLLA (4.3 stars)…read more - FOOD: pretty good; very fresh fish - PRICE: fair - SERVICE: excellent - AMBIANCE: quaint sushi restaurant (which I like; nice and quiet and chill) I knew something about the execution was familiar. I didn't know it until after eating there and reading a review that this is the sister location of So Cal Sushi (in Normal Heights) and after comparing the menus it made sense! What stood out to me when I knew nothing about this restaurant was that spicy tuna is in majority of their speciality rolls and after tasting it I had thought 'this seems familiar' - sometimes spicy tuna (in anything) can be overdone, played out, or not really cared for. Same thought when I first ate at the sister restaurant in Normal Heights when they first opened years ago - too much of it. But overall execution of the meal was good. :: ORDER :: MISO SOUP ($3.95) - served with wakame, negi, and tofu. average/typical. KURODAI ($9.25) - they have rotation fish list and saw an offering of Kurodai and had to try it. First of all, my favorite is Nodoguro but they didn't have that and was told closest to that was Kurodai. Honestly, I thought differently - didn't really come close to Nodoguro but Kurodai is also a nice cut of fish. The texture was somewhat firm and the taste was light and clean in flavor with a little subtle ending taste of faint sweetness. The fish was extremely fresh and you can taste it immediately. HIGHLY RECOMMEND CITRUS BLISS ROLL ($21.95) - spicy tuna, krab, and cucumber. Topped with salmon, avocado, spicy mayo, crunchies, and unagi sauce. I loved how they make the rolls - not too much rice nor dense packing, very tender and soft roll, easy to consume and eat more without feeling full, and the perfect amount of cut rolls per serving. You can taste the spicy, little bit of creamy, and a good amount of citrus... and if you dunk the roll in soy sauce you get the salty. It is a good roll if you like spicy and citrus - for me I like citrus more than spicy. The roll was good I ate everything, BUT I do feel there could be some improvements. I know people love spicy but when it comes to raw fish - that needs to shine in the sushi. yes tuna is basic but overkilling the flavor to make it spicy isn't for everyone (as it's in nearly every speciality roll). I would recommend lowering the spicy in the tuna because it already has spicy mayo included + it allows the customer to control their spicy level. The sriracha takes over the taste and when eating sushi the spicy for me should come from the wasabi (not soaking good quality fish in a sriracha bath). I wish they also offered their rolls with regular tuna instead of spicy tuna. I will def be back! Overall great place. Until the next bite...

I love Shiku so much! I frequent this place and they are a reliable restaurant for good quality…read moresushi. The salmon here is my favorite in all of and my friend and I could come here just to eat the salmon alone. Other honorable mentions: the spicy tuna crispy rice, any of the tempura options, and the hamachi heaven! Update on 09/05/2026: My friends and I are still regulars at Shiku and love this spot. We had the most fabulous cuts of salmon tonight, I mean, melt-in-your mouth cuts. Our service is always quick and exceptional. Shout out to Hana who has taken care of us over the years, she makes the experience that much more warm and welcoming :)

Stopped by for a quick bite after seeing all the positive reviews. The place is small, with one…read morefriendly server, and the atmosphere is relaxed and casual. They offer a limited happy hour menu from 3-6 PM, with all items priced at $5, which is a fair deal. I ordered the house cab and a salmon hand roll--both were just okay. My husband tried the shrimp tempura, which came with tempura green beans (since I'm celiac, I didn't try tempura) and we shared the warm salted edamame. The 15-piece chef's choice sashimi arrived first, but there was a noticeable delay, both for the food and my happy hour wine. Service was a bit slow overall, and our waitress didn't offer a second glass of wine until we were about to leave, so I ended up skipping it. Overall, the quality of the fish was average--nothing particularly memorable or worth raving about and not worth returning. Sadly disappointed :(
