    Chirashi
    Lindsey H.

    This place is amazing! Located right on PSU campus, I'm jealous it wasn't here when I was in school. The place is welcoming and super cute with its artsy wall and attention to detail even with their to-go bags and chopsticks. I got to try a few different things here - the Bara chirashi, unagi-Don, and Tom Yum poke. The fish was so fresh and plentiful, and everything was incorporated so well. My favorite was the Tom-Yum - you can't find something like this anywhere else. The flavor was so on point. There's really nothing I would change about anything, it was all 5/5 stars. I also highly recommend getting their matcha latte. It was so delicious, my friend even said it was better than the ones he had in Japan! It's a great refresher with the meal.

    This is the perfect stop for a quick and delicious lunch! Everything was so fresh and well seasoned. The staff are so friendly and attentive - they gave me such great recommendations. The store is also decorated so cutesy and has a very bright & welcoming feels.

    Cute carry out bag that is reusable

    So glad I was able to try out this place. This place definitely lives up to its reviews. The packaging is so efficient and so cute. You get a cute carry out bag that is reusable, and it fits so much. I also loved that the utensil packaging came with a floss pick to make sure you don't have seaweed stuck in your teeth! Onto the food... I ordered the unagi don because I love unagi, and this bowl did not disappoint. I ended up adding some sliced cucumbers that I had in my fridge. The unagi is a generous portion and is quite flavorful. Because we did do carry out, the rice did get a little clumpy in texture. I would still get it again though My husband got the salmon don with extra fish (2oz). I think the extra 2oz is a necessary amount of fish, which can make the bowl a little spend but the fish quality was good. Overall I would come back again and try some of the other dons and poke bowls, but the unagi don may still be my go to... Definitely check this place out if you're in th

    Oh my goodness! This is one of the best sushi places in the area! After a long day I was craving some sushi so I did a deep search of the area for good sushi places and stumbled upon this one. What a great choice I made! The quality of the fish is amazing for the price! Also the to go materials were so cute haha. You get a pretty good quality tote bag and your sushi is put in a cute box. The matcha latte was pretty good as well, I would recommend it. For the sushi I would recommend all of it lol. I enjoyed everything I ordered especially the C9 and hamachizilla! My sister really enjoyed the Firework roll. Definitely should give those a try! The girl who helped me in the front was so amazing too- She was the sweetest! Shoutout to her!!

    Aburi salmon don

    Got this delivered since I haven't had a chance to go in person yet and I'm so thankful I did!! The aburi salmon don is amazing and was my favorite. I'd probably add an extra scoop of fish or a side next time. Everything was soooo good and I can't wait to order again

    Fantastic spot near PSU for takeout Poke! It's a small clean joint, friendly staff. Their menu was outdated so I've added a new one as of 10/22/24 . The portion sizes are huge! The krab meat is an awesome addon and the time and salmon are really fresh. We ended up eating way more than we should've because of how fresh, clean, and tasty this was. Even with the sauces on top, it doesn't feel heavy or rich. Good old Poke that reminds me of Hawaii!

    Although Uber eats kind of fudged up our delivery (their greedy algorithm resulted in a very delayed delivery of essentially raw fish because the delivery drivers had to wait for multiple other orders before delivering ours), the fish itself was fresh, reasonably priced, and packaged in the cutest bento boxes! Will definitely eat here again, via in person however, rather than relying on unreliable food delivery services. We ordered two nigiri boxes, a poke bowl, and a tuna hosomaki.

    The packaging and presentation is beautiful!

    First time trying Fish-san and via delivery, we ordered: - Strawberry lemonade - Negihama roll + add avocado - Calico roll - Firework roll - Salmon Toro nigiri - Scallop 3 piece - add marinated eggs Everything was so good. Honestly, would definitely order again. You can definitely spend $70+ between two people but for the quality, it's a great value.

    Fish-San is really good. We came here because of the very high ratings and the fact that they were open on Independence Day. Service is friendly and helpful. Even though the dining room was pretty much empty when we visited, we had a longer-than-expected wait. The very helpful employee very thoughtfully told us that they had a lot of to-go ordered queued up ahead of us, and that there would be a resultant wait. We were very happy to be informed of this ahead of time. She said she'd try to get our items worked in as soon as possible, which she did. Fish-san seems to focus mostly on to-go business. The food is all served in to-go boxes, that appear to be purpose build for sushi, and are high-quality and very charming. Also extremely unique and thoughtful is the sealed and house-branded place setting, which consists of chopsticks, a spork, a napkin, a wet wipe, and a plastic combination toothpick / flosser. I've never seen that elsewhere. I was mot impressed with the spicy tuna poke bowl. It was the best I've ever had. It is thoughtfully garnished with pickled daikon, and another red item I wasn't able to identify, but it was delicious. Also adorning it is finely-chopped seaweed. The rice was perfectly cooked and seasoned. I'll definitely get this again on my next visit. The 12-piece nigiri special was a great bargain, and items ranged from great, to good, to "what in the world were they thinking"? The real head scratchers in the collection were the bruleed sugar tamago nigiri (seemed to be a take on creme-brulee, but it wasn't good at all - basically caramel on an omelette), and the same treatment on the ebi (shrimp) was every bit as bad as it sounds. The rolls were quite good, and were expertly prepared. I was also happy to see unique beverages such as muscat iced tea and Ramune on offer. There is a very tiny free parking lot, and street parking, which can be quite challenging to find an open spot. Overall, I was quite impressed with Fish-San, and heartily recommend it (save for the burned sugar nigiri).

    C9 and Fish-San futomaki
    Tiva F.

    Been on my list and now wishing I had tried sooner! I wanted quality sushi but just an addition to the dinner I already planned to make. I was excited to see them pop up on Uber Eats. We ordered the C9 roll and the Fish-San futomaki. Both priced like they better be really good. Sushi takeout is normally not impressive but Fish-San is not normal! They're exceptional. I mean yes I only ordered two rolls but the presentation, the quality of every detail, and the flavors made this the best experience anyone could hope for. Both delicious rolls that you never want to end, but the favorite is the C9. Hi house made zingy truffle avocado sauce. Wow do I dare order again two days in a row?? Well I also need to try the rest of the menu! All the questions that must be answered by going back and continuing the research/work to update you. But I'm just one person. This is your sign to go check this place out and fill in!

    Salmon-Don
    Devin R.

    I got the salmon don and it was great. The flavors were good and the fish was fresh and plentiful. It came with miso soup as well. A good lunch spot by PSU.

    Really enjoyed the fresh fish and sushi dishes delivered via Uber Eats! Loved that the miso soup was included with entrees.

    A new spot in the PSU area. Super cute shop with nice, calming ambience and a few seatings. Got a takeout order of their Chirashi Bowl. Their packaging game was A+ with reuseable branded bag, packaged utensils, and wooden box! You know that they really care. The attention can also be seen in how they plated their food, even for takeout orders. Fish slices arranged beautifully. All their seafood was also very very fresh, definitely higher quality than most spots in the area. Miso soup was tasty and refreshing. However, their fish portion was on the stingy side. Mainly rice in the box. We also had some ordering issues, wrong order was given to us and we had to go back to the store. I understand though that they're new and still figuring things out. Wouldn't mind going back.

From the second my partner and I walked in at 4:30 PM, we were greeted by a server who made it immediately clear we were bothering them. When seated, I asked for a dinner menu thinking they'd given us a lunch menu by mistake. I was told dinner doesn't start until 5:00 PM (something listed nowhere online, despite their online presence highlighting all their dinner options). And since when does lunch run up until 5pm? The latest I've ever seen is 3 or 4. The final straw was asking about the only vegan option on the menu, which was labeled "spicy." When I asked how spicy it was, the same server gave a completely patronizing response: "I'm not sure your level of spice..." My partner and I looked at each other in shock at how openly rude this person was. We got up, picked up our stuff, and walked out before ordering. I'm 51 years old, and I can count on one hand the number of times in my life I've walked out of a restaurant due to bad service before even getting food. Sadly, this was one of them. The gap between how great this place was portrayed online and how poorly we were treated in person was staggering.

Add ons are great to enhance the taste, but won't impact fullness too much. Yuzu Shoyu - personally thought the preset ramens were nothing special. Barely any greens, felt like just a garnish. One piece of chashu and half an egg. Noodles were tasty though! Broth was on the lighter side.

The kitchen brings out steaming bowls incredibly fast, filled with rich broths and excellent toppings with an efficient, straightforward dining style. Tonkotsu Shoyu (4/5): A deeply comforting and classic bowl of ramen. They offer a generous portion of perfectly cooked noodles paired with plenty of fresh vegetables like spinach, green onions, and mushrooms. The soft-boiled egg was perfectly yolky, but the dish would've been elevated even further with a slightly more generous serving of chashu pork. Tonkotsu Red (5/5): A unique variation for those who love a bit of heat. It shares the same chewy noodle and vegetable foundation as the Shoyu, but has a spicy broth that builds and ramps up the more you slurp. The heat was a distinct, subtle numbing sensation reminding me of Sichuan peppercorns, creating an incredibly flavorful and unique twist on a traditional tonkotsu base. Logistics Tip: This is a fast and casual self-service setup where you walk right up to the counter upon entering to order from the menu displayed on the wall. Indoor seating is limited to a few long, communal tables, so be prepared to potentially share space with other diners during peak hours, and remember to bus your own dishes when finished. For parking, street spots are easy to find and can be paid for using the local Parking Kitty app.

Overall this place was just... good. I'm certain I can find better. The customer service was great, but another thing that bothered us were there were sooo many flying insects inside. They've gotta get some fans or something because it really ruined the experience for us.
