Very disappointed with our recent experience at Gami Sushi. The quality of the sushi was extremely poor compared to what we expected. The fish did not taste fresh, and several items seemed like they had been sitting out for far too long. Unfortunately, the situation became much worse after our meal. Multiple people in our group became sick afterward with symptoms consistent with food poisoning. While it's impossible to know with absolute certainty, this was the only meal we shared, and the timing strongly suggests it was the source. We've eaten here in the past and had much better experiences, which makes this visit even more disappointing. Based on the poor quality of the food and the illness that followed, we will not be returning. read more

I want to start by saying that I have always loved this restaurant, which makes my experience today especially disappointing. We visited on a day when the restaurant did not appear to be particularly busy. We were seated fairly quickly, and our orders were taken without any issues. Most of our food arrived within approximately 30 minutes. However, my daughter's ramen took an additional 30-40 minutes to arrive. When I asked a server about the delay, I was told that the restaurant had gotten a little busy. Rather than checking on our order or providing any meaningful explanation, the server simply walked away. This was unprofessional and left us feeling disregarded as customers. Additionally, our drinks were never refilled throughout the meal. When I requested to speak with a manager, I was informed that no manager was on-site. When I asked when one would be available, the staff could not provide an answer. It is disappointing to see that while the restaurant has undergone upgrades and improvements to its appearance, the quality of service seems to have declined significantly. Good food and an appealing atmosphere are important, but attentive customer service is just as essential to the overall dining experience. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and addresses these concerns, as I would hate to see a restaurant I once enjoyed so much continue to decline in service quality. read more

My friend introduced me to his favorite sushi restaurant. I can see why he comes here every week! The sushi was good and reasonably priced. The fish was fresh. Miso soup was flavorful yet not overly salty. What really stood out was the homemade salad dressing. You can taste the freshness, which was so much better than any of the store bought stuff. They used fresh ingredients to make their own dressing and it was absolutely delicious! They really won me over with the salad dressing! In fact, loved it so much that I had to request the restaurant to sell me a small container. I normally don't like much dressing in my salad, but this was an exception. The food presentation was a bit on the sloppy side, the rolls weren't well made but the taste was there. For large parties, they have the large sushi boats that looked pretty! We ordered a pot of roasted rice tea to share. I liked the teapot. It was such a clever idea! When you place the pot over your cup, the pressure automatically dispenses the tea. When you lift it, it stops. I might have to buy one of these! Service was excellent! The server and restaurant owner were very friendly. I'll have to come back here with friends and family! read more

I frequent Gami restaurants frequently and usually dine in. This is the first time I DoorDash it and paid more than what I usually do when dined in but why is my salad that i paid in full price comes with one small dressing container that doesn't even cover all?!? read more

LOVE eating at Gami and LOVE the sushi and their new menu. Interestingly, my new Go-To fav is their Spicy Kimchi Pork Ramen - it's DELICIOUS!! I've had it 3 times over the past several weeks, but this week, the bowl was very sparse? read more

2024: visited regularly, once or twice per month. March 2025: Slow service. Was sitting at the table for 20 mins without proper utilities, no drinks, and no order taken. Appetizer came at the end of the meal. Gave nigiri when sashimi was ordered. Ordered king salmon but regular salmon was given. Food quality went down hill. Uni was not not clean and bitter. Fish portion got smaller and thinner. It is time to go somewhere else. read more

My friend and I are always in search of new sushi places for us to try. We were in Del Mar last August. I had read about Gami and wanted to try. It did not disappoint in atmosphere, service or food. Because they do not take reservations for just two, we chose to go at 5:00PM. It was perfect, we were greeted and wanting to sit at the sushi bar where there was plenty of room. The restaurant is located in a strip mall, both indoor and patio seating. It is very small, but felt very open with the tall ceilings. The vibe was energetic as it filled up fast, shortly after our arrival. Service was good, all the servers seem to cover for each other when it is busy, so you never felt ignored. We ordered a bottle of Sake while looking over the menu. We ordered Uni, Smelt Egg, Yellowtail and Salmon Nigiri. We also had a Salmon Skin Hand Roll, an Extra Spicy Fire Roll and Garlic Edamame. All the sushi looked great and tasted fresh and delicious. BTW, the Salmon Skin Hand Roll was excellent, when handed to me, one of the servers came by and told me to eat it first while the skin was still crispy...OMG it was so good. I would definitely go back again when in the San Diego area. Only negative for me is that they don't take reservation. Atmosphere: small, bright and energetic. Service: very good. Food: very good. read more

First time here and it was delicious. They recommend Sake and it was amazing, also recommend lots of yummy food options as well. I got the the Sashimi Bibimbob and it tasted so fresh! The sauce was 10/10 again. The staff were all so nice and welcoming. Definitely will be coming back and enjoying the outside seating next time! read more

Super lovely place and great prices. I came here for lunch last week and had a great time. We ended up getting some beers and I got the sushi combo A for $21. For the price, it was great! The combo also came with miso soup and salad. We also got some hot sake I did not enjoy. The waitress heard and she brought out some cold sake for me to try which was so thoughtful of her. We ended up leaving the restaurant feeling a little tipsy and happy! read more

Yummy homestyle neighborhood sushi restaurant with generous portions. Down to earth yet very tasty concoctions like using the thin slices of whole lemon on the sushi roll. I also tried the teriyaki salmon and it was a generous portion and wonderfully glazed. Overall, very approachable Japanese food that is delicious. Service was very friendly and made good recommendations on rolls that were popular with customers. read more

Went to Gami Sushi on an early Saturday - little before 6. Sat on the patio with our year old puppy. She was welcomed & in spite of being antsy had a good time. We ordered shrimp tempura appetizer, cucumber salad, chicken teriyaki dinner & a Touchdown roll. The food when it came out was delicious. Tempura came out quickly & was crispy/crunchy. My husband's chicken teriyaki came out next & it was a large portion w/veggies. After a short wait, the cucumber salad came. It was nicely seasoned & a good size portion. Unfortunately, my roll took forever. Our waiter was very apologetic because my husband was mostly done w/ his dinner & my roll hadn't appeared. He got us some miso soup, edamame & another beer for my husband as an apology. Class act. When the Touchdown roll came out, it was delicious w/ slices of avocado, soft shell crab w/ sauce on top & krab, shrimp tempura & avocado in middle. Healthy portions. We will definitely continue going to Gami Sushi. read more

If you want to come to a restaurant that doesn't inform you of a 20% surcharge for "6 people" and then they dupe you into paying "tip" on top of that, then come here! Make sure you ask for a printout of your check!! While i don't mind paying a normal tip, the fact that they ask you again without the check printout is gross behavior. I would avoid this place. Behavior like this will get spread far and wide. read more

I've been a loyal customer of this restaurant for over 8 years, but after my recent experiences, I'll sadly never return. About 10 days ago, I placed a takeout order that was completely wrong, they sent fish options, which my husband cannot eat. When I called to report it, the staff were quite rude, but told me they'd issue a credit for a future visit. This week, I went back and ordered another takeout meal, planning to use the credit. When I tried to apply it at checkout, the staff started talking among themselves in another language for over 10 minutes, only to finally tell me that "someone else" had already used my credit. I was honestly shocked by the lack of professionalism and respect toward a returning customer. After so many years of coming here, this experience was deeply disappointing. They've definitely lost a loyal customer. read more

I think Gami is doing better than my last visit, which is great! Definitely a local staple for takeout sushi! My favorite is the Hawaiian roll. Shrimp tempura appetizer was really light and buttery. read more

We got there at 8.15 and was seated promptly. . Shrimp tempura was overcooked and shrimp was small . We ordered several rolls and they came out quickly and rolls were all good sized. The beef bulgogi was salty and overcooked. Chicken eats was a little overcooked. They did add a 20 % tip because we were a party of 6 . Service was good and we were out by 8.50 read more

For San Diegans who love sushi and have not tried Gami sushi, you are missing out. For the quality and the price point, as someone from a little north, this place is excellent. There 10 piece sashimi in a chirashi bowl , I added an order of Santa Barbara uni and it was spectacular. The total order for my wife and son was so reasonable I am not going to quote the price but it should have been triple my bill. The special chirashi included king salmon, Korean halibut, bf tuna, ikura and fresh yt tuna. I want to comeback before Gami becomes famous. But let me say this place is a hidden gem. One of the rolls included king salmon and white and soft shell crab. W read more

Been going here for a while now, and I must say-- Sushi Gami is very underrated. This place is easily one of my favorite sushi spots in San Diego, and I am always recommending it to anyone who asks for restaurant recommendations. I found this place on a whim when driving home and was really craving sushi. I hadn't even looked up reviews, just walked in and saw their sushi combo options. I ordered sushi combo A, and have been ordering it ever since! It comes with 5 varying sushi pieces (I always ask for extra of their pickled radish, so so good), sushi roll of your choice, and a miso soup and salad. The staff is always kind and are always giving great service. It is a fairly small restaurant but they also have plenty of seating outside. Sushi Gami has really quality sushi and in my opinion it's pretty fairly priced! Will continue to be a patron at this restaurant and highly recommend to those looking for a great sushi place to try. read more

Excellent food and service. Very chill atmosphere in the restaurant. I usually get my food to go but decided to stay once and didn't like the condition of the restroom. Deducted one star for that but otherwise a solid sushi choice in the Del Mar area. read more

I like Gami a lot but this was not my best meal from here. Summer Roll: not crazy about the spicy tuna but the rest was very fresh. Avocado Roll: was ok, tasted sweeter than usual and I am not sure if that was overripe avocado or something in the rice I'd still get these again at some point, but thumbs down on the cucumber salad. I couldn't find people talking much about it on here, and it's not a good dish. Still tastes salty (like salting cucumbers) and not very flavorful. I love cucumber salads but this one was not good. Tried one disc and got rid of the rest of it. If I weren't doing takeout, I would send it back. Still, I really like Gami and will order different things next time. read more

I drove 3 hours to San Diego and was feeling a bit famished after the journey. I met up with my friend for lunch and was quite satisfied with this little spot. Great rolls. Great service. The outdoor patio was lovely and shaded well on a hot day. I enjoyed my visit and would eat here again. read more

My friends and I couldn't decide where to eat, so we ended up at this new place. I was a bit unsure because I've never been there before, and I tried to convince my friend to go somewhere else while we waited for a table. But my friend insisted on giving it a shot, and I'm really glad we did. The sushi rolls I had there was amazing - it was big, super fresh, and really tasty. I'm usually hard to please when it comes to food, so I surprised myself by how much I liked it. I also noticed that the people running the place might be Korean, even though they specialize in Japanese sushi. I'm excited to go back and try more of their food next time. read more

I came here for lunch, but was pretty sad to find out they no longer have a lunch menu. Their rolls range from $16-$25 dollars. The prices are a bit expensive, but I think the quality of their fish is pretty good. Overall, taste is good and service is "ok". Nothing too special. Inside is a bit small but they have good outdoor seating. read more

This is my new local sushi spot. The sushi boat was so beautifully presented and split amongst 5 people with a few rolls and appetizers left us stuffed and happy. My favorite roll is definitely the lemon one with fresh crab. I need to come back soon for that. Everything tastes great with equal quality, and the staff is very nice. read more

Gami Sushi - 50 piece sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

Delicious sushi in Del Mar! Small business run by Korean owners. Sushi chefs and servers seemed friendly and welcoming. Came here with a friend to get early dinner on Friday and there was no wait. Service was great but we understandably had to wait a bit for our food to come out since they had a lot of to-go orders at the same time. We got the shrimp crunch, ocean, and sunset rolls to share and this was plenty of food for 2 hungry girls. The rolls we got were priced around $12-22, which is pretty good (and standard for any sushi spots tbh). Seating areas are not the most spacious, although they do have some seats outside if you prefer that. I don't frequent this part of town often but definitely will come back given the close proximity to the beach and Del Mar Highlands for all the yummy dessert options. read more

Pretty reliable, nothing unexpected. Good if you're in the neighborhood. One suggestion - with the spicy hotate hand roll - add less krab "filler" and more hotate. You can add microgreens or cuke for balance - the Krab tends add too much filler and takes away the smooth silky texture of the hotate read more

Solid 3. Large pieces of fish for the sushi with poorly seasoned and undercooked rice. It seems like a locals spot, but it's pricey for what it is. Quality is average for the fish itself - but one highlight is they list where each is sourced from. Flavor wise it's Americanized, which is totally fine, I just prefer Japanese run sushi spots. Kaarage was a highlight, as it was perfectly fried with minimal breading (I realllllly hate when it's all breading and no chicken). Lastly, the miso soup had mushrooms, which is a nice addition, but rather than use shiitake, they used the regular brown mushrooms. This minor nuance keeps it at no more than a 3. read more

Bad service and sushi didn't taste good. My sister told the server it was my birthday and she didn't even care LOL. At least pretend to care if you're going to serve people. read more

NOT KIDDING - server got off shift and we were forgotten? Uhhhh.... Not kidding. I actually left to go outside and my husband was there at the table alone. I wondered how long it would take for the new server to take care of us. Ugh. My husband asked if I would like me to "press the issue" and I said NO (out of curiosity) It was another 20 minutes! I expected Food was great but service? Not so much. read more

Went back to Gami Sushi yesterday for a date night with my wife. The staff were so courteous and friendly; we were seated immediately and quickly asked what we wanted to drink! We ordered a bowl of edamame, two Del Mar rolls, a spicy tuna roll, Spicy California, and then a small hot sake. Our food came out quickly and was extremely fresh. Our server was always around to check up on us and made sure we always had topped off beverages. The quality, courtesy, and speed that Gami Sushi offers is why we will continue to keep choosing this location! read more

Great fresh sashimi and sushi rolls! This is one of our favorite spots in Carmel Valley!

We had the baja tuna tataki, fried calamari, yellowtail sashimi and French kiss, and yellowtail fashion. We substituted the rice for snow crab. We liked that you can substitute the rice with snow crab. We had to return the calamari because it was all breading and a small piece of squid. It was removed from our bill. The service was friendly. read more

Super good sushi. Ordered to go on a Sunday night and it was quite busy with people, lots of to go orders, a bit chaotic and I had to wait around for an extra 10 min or so but it was well worth it. Quality of the sushi is phenomenal for very reasonable prices imo, about $25 total. I got a Del mar roll and a blue crab roll which I've never seen anywhere before. Both were great. The Del mar roll had shrimp tempura and tuna on the inside with salmon on top. Salmon quality was amazing, looks so good, check the photo! Definitely will be coming back. read more
