    I love the drive-thru option. The prices are more than fair and the sushi is very good. If you are…read morelooking for an experience full of attitude, go elsewhere. Thiis is a great, reliable and local sushi go-to with friendly staff, a nice selection and terrific fish.

    Double-edged sword: Decent rolls, but the cleanliness needs a major upgrade…read more ​I really wanted to give this place a chance, but the environment made it hard to fully enjoy the meal or even go in. I almost turned around. ​The Food: 3/5 To be fair, the sushi itself is okay. It's not top-tier, blow-your-mind gourmet, but the fish tasted fresh enough, and the rolls were decent for a casual sushi fix. If you're just looking for standard, passable sushi, it does the job. ​The Ambiance & Cleanliness: 1/5 This is where things took a nosedive. The entire restaurant felt incredibly dirty and unkempt. The tables were sticky, the floors looked like they hadn't seen a proper mop in a while, and the overall surrounding area just felt dusty, neglected, and abandoned. It's really hard to relax and enjoy raw fish when you're constantly looking around wondering when the place was last deep-cleaned. ​The Verdict: The kitchen staff seems to be doing their part, but the front of house/management really needs to step up their sanitation game. Until they give the place a serious scrub-down, I'll probably be looking elsewhere for my sushi cravings. Questionable if I ever return. Would recommend if u absolutely must have some kind of sushi. Note: No AYCE price and no half rolls.

    This place named itself "sushi bar," but it also says it's an authentic Mexican seafood restaurant?…read moreThat feels like an identity crisis lol. I was given chips, salsa, and an appetizer soup thing in a cup. The chips were fine. I thought the soup was alright. I didn't like the salsa as I found it too watery and lacking in flavor, more like a hot sauce than a salsa. I ordered two hand rolls, a spicy tuna roll and a salmon skin roll. I thought they were good. I found the salmon skin too crispy and deep fried for my preference, but it was still good. Finally, I realized that not only do I never eat authentic Mexican seafood, I'm not even sure what that entails. So I dug through the menu and saw something called "Don Tono," described as stuffed with seafood, but without much other explanation. I asked the waitress what this Don Tono is exactly, and to my surprise, she wasn't sure either. So, of course I had to order it. It was a big thing of aluminum foil with goodies inside, kinda like a seafood bake. It was good, although I found the flavor to be a undertuned. I would've liked some Cajun seasoning. The best texture and taste was probably the fish itself as it was light and flaky without being mushy, and it absorbed the umami of some of the other seafood. I thought the shrimp and shellfish were just okay, and maybe just a tad overcooked for me. Honestly, I was also not a huge fan of the cheese here; I feel like it doesn't quite fit. I also got some rice and salad with it, which were both fine.

    I got a couple rolls to go as well as some edamame. All serviceable, nothing remarkable but an…read moreinexpensive option for some decent sushi! Fun decor in this place! When I came in to pick up my food there was no one at the host stand and it seems like there was one waiter running the whole show during busy lunch time. Little teeny tiny parking lot but it's right across from the shopping centre parking so not a big deal.

    Been here server times and always go with our friends who go there all the time…read more Waiters are nice and service is great. I wonder sometimes if they're nicer cause they know our friends lol. The food is yummy, executed well. We like so many of their sushi rolls! It may be small but they put out good food! Smaller, to me, is very often better.

    A good little Sushi/Ramen hidden gem in Chula Vista. Heard a lot about this place so I finally came…read more& yes I'm a fan. First let me start with the customer service, it was great, from the door to getting seated to the waiters checking on us & the cooks smiling & the speed & quality of the service was all great. And the prices are very reasonable, they don't open till 5 tho, for dinner basically, weekends can get busy so get there early. The food was very good, I got the Chula Vita Ramen & I'd get it again, very filling & flavorful. The sushi was very fresh & good & filling as well, Abre La Boca Mucho was our fav roll, it can be shared with another person for sure, Viva Chula Vista was a good roll too. Miso soup was ok & no garlic edamame they have lemon butter edamame, if you like lemon & butter flavor you'll like it, it was ok but it lack a bit of flavor for me. My fav item here was the Jalapeño Popper as an appetizer, 8 pieces & man let me tell you, it was mouth watering & on point, it's a must to start with. Overall I good little spot & we come again for sure, keep up the good work Naruto & see you soon :)
