Channel Roll (front) and Mango Tango Roll (back)
Toni L.

Positive experience each time. We live in the neighborhood and love that Dragon Sushi opens semi-late, and is rarely crowded, especially for a sushi restaurant. Like others have been saying, it is inexpensive, and does the job. Service is friendly and attentive. I highly recommend: - kama (fish collar, cooked) usually $18-22+ at other Japanese restaurants, here it's $12, and the portion is great. Fish is tender and flaky. - half seaweed half cucumber salad (seasoned to perfection, a light and refreshing appetizer). - baked mussels (dressed with tobiko, baked with sriracha mayo). - Rolls: Channel roll, Lemon Drop, Wilson Ave roll. They seem to lean heavily towards a crunchy roll base (shrimp tempura and krab on the inside) then the toppings are where the rolls get individualized. - Yellowtail is nice and fresh here. - Spicy tuna is on the spicier side. I ordered a poke bowl once and wasn't impressed. It wasn't that the salmon wasn't fresh, that part was fine. I just felt that the bowl was kind of boring. And I love sushi rice but there was too much rice and not enough other toppings.

SALMON MAKI ROLL
Stephanie S.

Ordered a salmon maki and shrimp tempura hand roll for lunch one day. I live around the corner and have been wanting to give them a chance for a while. Didn't get a chance to chat with anyone or stay long but it seemed pretty chill and relaxing. No loud music blaring like some other sushi places. Unfortunately not the best rolls on my salmon maki and the shrimp tempura looks like mostly krab. Price was banging and the salmon didn't taste off so I'll definitely come back when I'm craving food since I live walking distance.

Part of the NIGIRI COMBO. Does that look edible to you?

Portions are great here, but at least three pieces of my nigiri are old and dry. And it would be great if they can find some music that isn't so loud and hard core. It was difficult to even hear my friend.

Philly with tuna and salmon top
Jessica G.

Wow! Came here on a whim, really positive experience. Garlic edamame was so fresh and flavorful, the cooked it on the spot and you could smell it! So delicious. I had the mango dragon cucumber wrapped- the sweet mango sauce was delicious, the whole roll was delicious My husband had the spicy amigo roll and he loved it. He say the ingredients were tremendous and fresh. He truly enjoyed it. My daughter had the shrimp crunch, she say it was flavorful and eel sauce and the crunch tied it together. Overall delicious. Service was friendly, restaurant is brand knew and clean. Definitely recommend!!

Top to bottom I ordered Salmon, Tune and Blue Fin Tuna. Excellent!

I am from 100 miles away to the north. was visiting and decied to try DRAGON SUSHI. Excellent quality and they do not skimp as I ordered the blue fin tune nigiri. They cut the meats thick and fresh. I also ordered the Salmon and Eel. I stringly recommended this place!

Suite front
Emmett T.

The owners of Brothers Mexican Restaurant in Normal Heights have opened Dragon Sushi in the next door suite that used to house an ice cream shop/juice bar. Seating was limited to about two dozen customers. The two-page menu was pretty typical sushi fare with classic rolls, hand rolls, special/specialty rolls, bento boxes, bowls, nigiri, and sashimi as the main categories. A monthly special was offered which on this occasion was a 16-piece roll combo for $20. It was made up of four different types of rolls. There were ten specialty rolls that were priced between $16 and $18 apiece. My two choices were the Angry Roll and Goodnight Roll which were cut into eight pieces. The first was made up of salmon, eel, gobo (burdock root), cucumber, and avocado topped with red snapper, jalapeno, onion, and ponzu sauce. The second consisted of bluefin tuna, gobo, cucumber, and green onion topped with escolar, avocado, sriracha, house alba sauce, onion, and cilantro. My first impression of these two rolls was that a lot of cilantro covered the products to the point it was difficult to distinguish the cut pieces. The Goodnight Roll was a little better because of the zing from the sriracha. I can't really say the fishes were top quality, but they tasted fresh. If you live in this neighborhood and are seeking a quick sushi fix, then Dragon Sushi should fulfill that desire.

Came by for my lunch and decided to try this mango roll it was very delicious and filling. The sauces are made from scratch and they were very friendly. Cant wait to bring my wife to enjoy this lovely spot together!

The Breona Special
Breona W.

Best vegetarian(ish) sushi roll I've ever had. Simple but so delicious: tofu, avocado, cucumber roll topped with spicy mayo and eel sauce. I love this place I go here multiple times a week and they also have a buy 2 get 1 free happy hour. I love love LOVE this place and the owners and employees are so nice and they always remember my name.

Sushi was amazing and so was desert! Perfect spot if you're craving sushi or sea food! Service was really good and everyone was really friendly. The ambiance was great too.

JUNE SPECIAL COMBO 16 PC
Karen C.

Solid sushi joint. Lots of different rolls at a reasonable price point. They are fairly new (ie past 6 months). I got 4 pieces of 4 different rolls for $20 which was a good way to try different things. The fish was reasonably fresh

This is not an authentic sushi restaurant. It seems as those they just learned to make sushi and decided to open a restaurant.. the vibe isnt right and neither is the sushi. Very mushy and the ratios were off on what was put inside. I asked if there was fired shrimp in my roll and was told no all for me to bite into fried shrimp. Unacceptable. Wasn't offered help, discount or any care.

Inside the restaurant. Very casual unassuming place, quiet, very nice wait staff, and GREAT quality fish.
Jessica S.

Wow! I was not expecting much of this place and I'm thrilled how wrong I was! It was completely empty when we walked by but we decided to try it anyway, turns out this place is just 7 weeks new! The prices are great, the service is extremely nice and I could not believe how GREAT the fish is!! Like shocked because of the prices. I would love to keep this place my own little secret but san diego deserves to know about it, so good! I will be back!

I opted to order by QR code to get my order in faster. My boyfriend and I both got biang biang mian but he got the version with cumin lamb. The portions are large and super filling. I honestly think one bowl is two meals worth of food at least. The noodles were chewy and bouncy. I love the flavor just make sure to properly mix the noodles - all of the good stuff sits at the bottom of the bowl! The chili oil is fantastic as well and I loved the spice level of these dishes.

The space inside is casual and straightforward, though it definitely gets packed fast during peak hours because locals know how good the food is. Looking at the spread we got, everything hits the spot. We started with the spicy sliced pork ears, which are super tender with a nice crunch and tossed in a bold chili oil and cilantro mix. For the mains, you come here for the noodles and they honestly never miss. The hand-ripped noodles are incredible--super thick, chewy, and served in massive bowls loaded with tender beef, brisket, or tripe. Whether you get the clear, savory broth or the spicy chili oil version, the portions are huge and the noodles have that perfect fresh-pulled texture.  Service was the real problem and I can't give them too much grace after our experience. They gave us all our food at a snail pace and was still missing one person's entree. After 20-30 minutes of waiting for his food, we asked the waitress to check on it and after going to the kitchen, she came back to tell us they ran out of that dish (beef paomo). At that point the rest of the table had pretty much finished their food as it's been about 45 minutes since we ordered. That was incredibly unprofessional. No apology, no offers to make it right. Just a "what would you like instead,sir". I loved the food but this type of scenario is not acceptable and I likely won't be back.

We ordered garlic string beans, lo mein, honey walnut shrimp & general tso's chicken. Food comes out in the order it is done which can be a little off kilter. In our case, the chicken and shrimp came out first, then the lo mein, and much later, the green beans. All of the food was just okay. Nothing was truly a show stopper. I did not taste any honey or walnuts in the shrimp, just a lot of mayonnaise. The lo mein was the best dish of the night. We took some leftovers home in the cute packaging. The branding here is definitely a strong suit. As we were sitting on the patio, there was a steady stream of customers ordering & picking up takeout. Service was fine. We sat for quite awhile once we were done, and we had to ask for to-go boxes. Then about ten minutes later, our server came by to run our cards. Verdict: FS is cute and bustling. The food is adequate but honestly pretty basic. The prices are quite reasonable. One restroom for the whole place. Paid street parking on Adams Avenue until 8pm & free parking on some side streets. Just check for the parking signs. Peace.

Almost melted in my mouth! Clam: (8/10) my mom's favorite dish there! Not too salty or pungent, savory, basily taste, light, and delicious! Fried tofu: (9/10) I really liked the tofu. The batter was really good and the sauce made the dish even better! Snow pea leaves sautéed in garlic: (10/10) VERY GOOD! Great vegetable choice! Fresh and saucy. Shrimp and scrambled eggs: (8/10) eggs were light and fluffy. I thought the shrimp was pretty decent but the eggs made it even better!

Wow, it's been so long since I've had you tiao (Chinese fried donuts) with soy milk! Their duck noodle soup and congee were also delicious. Protip: if you order a noodle soup, they will ask if you want your soup on the side. Don't do it because they barely have me enough soup to cover my noodles and I'm pretty sure if I hadn't gotten it on the side they would have given me more. But I haven't found a Chinese place this homey and authentic in San Diego in a long time. You know it's legit when you show up on a Sunday morning and the place is full of Chinese people.

We've been back so many times because we love this place so much and keep wanting to give it another chance, but unfortunately, we keep leaving disappointed. The seafood doesn't seem as fresh as it used to be. The shrimp and squid have such an odd texture now that they're not as enjoyable to eat. The Cornish hen is usually overcooked, fibrous, and dry, which is so disappointing because it used to be my favorite! And the soup! I don't know what happened, but the broth has been so salty that our lips literally go numb and we end up drinking water the rest of the day. Even my 3 year old son said it was too salty and refused to eat it the last time we were there. Parking has always been a mess here too. There's barely any parking, and we usually have to park all the way down the street and walk over. We never really minded before because the food was worth it, but now it's hard to justify when the quality isn't what it used to be. I'm honestly so sad because we've loved Minh Ky for so many years. We keep coming back hoping it'll be like how we remembered, but it just hasn't been the same. I really hope things improve because I would love to keep coming here with my family!

It was empty coming in around 5:30pm on a Friday, but it soon filled to capacity in the next hour. So coming into it, we thought we would choose between Menu A and Menu B. Afterwards, we thought it was AYCE on the menu of your choice + the side buffet where there are limited selections of sides and refrigerated drinks. We ordered orange chicken, Chinese style fish and something else. Again, this was on the thought that we could order more than one item on our selected menu. So imagine our surprise when the bill was nearly $100 for two people? It was a misunderstanding. However, the initial staff gentlemen was completely rude about it and ignored us as we sought to understand. Finally, a second female server came and heard our concerns regarding the false advertisement and unclear messaging. She was able to provide us the price we thought this was for based on Menu selection. All in all - I don't recommend the AYCE option. I think it would be important to make a distinction that AYCE clearly on the menu and at the front - AYCE means each individual selects ONE entree (which is a one small portion) and the AYCE component of the deal is ONLY for the side buffet.

The skin is on the thicker side but the texture is so bouncy and the filling is incredibly umami and juicy. One of the best dumplings in San Diego. Each plate comes with 14 of them so it's pretty hefty. They don't really do modifications especially given that all the dumplings are pre-filled, so keep that in mind. As for the other items, they're passable but not as excellent as their dumplings. The beef noodle soup is good, but a little light on beef and veggies. The scallion pancake is super crispy, a little more like croissant and pretty mild green onion flavor. The noodles in the zha jiang mian were a little too al dente. The zha jiang mian comes with bean sprouts, carrots, cucumbers, celery, and ground pork in the black bean sauce. Overall great food for a reasonable price. If in doubt get more dumplings rather than their other dishes; that's what they specialize it and are best at.
