Sushi Deli continues to be a staple in San Diego! Came here on a weekday in the morning. We were…read morequickly seated, which was amazing, as they usually have a wait. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable on the menu! The place wasn't as full as usual, but it was still lively and not awkwardly quiet. We quickly ordered and just picked random rolls from the menu! (The names are not listed in the photos, since I don't remember what they were) The sushi was tasty and the rolls were huge for the price. Definitely getting a bang for your buck, especially in today's economy! We even had leftovers that we took with us. Great experience overall.

I'd say it was semi-full on a Monday night, with no wait for a table. The special comes with a miso soup drowning in tempura flakes. It was not good. They obliged my request to do a redo without flakes, and although it improved the mouth feel experience...the taste was still mediocre. Out of the September special, I ony liked lime time. Out of all the rolls we ordered, I would only come back for lime time. I get the appeal of the place: semi cheap sushi rolls. Im hoping the other location has better parking and is less grimy (sticky menus and tables, dirty bathroom) and has better parking (street parking only).

Some of them were good and almost more than half were very wilted and dried out.

I stopped in for a late lunch during a trip to SD. It was a weekday around 4pm and the place was…read morestill busy! There was only 1 worker so bowl preparation obviously took some time and though I don't blame the individual for this, I think staffing could be better. There's a small amount of indoor seating and the small plaza parking lot is very cramped, that said, I was lucky enough to grab a parking spot AND a table. Poke Bowl 5/5, perfect, chefs kiss, I devoured this entire thing, ingredients were fresh and lovely Omusubi 1/5, okay so I ordered two of these two go to eat for dinner later and wow, this was a sad miss :( extremely minimal tuna filling and excess rice that somehow solidified to get super hard on me so it felt like I was biting a brick? Skip ordering this, and stick to the poke bowl!

I enjoyed this Poké bowl more than any I've had in recent memory. I can think of three different…read morethings that made it so memorable. 1. The young man behind the counter, answered all my questions and just did what I asked and Moore. He was just pleasant to work with. When I saw all of the toppings that were available and I simply said a little bit of each, he didn't complain and say well that's a lot or that's not gonna fit or whatever. He just did what I asked. :) 2. They offer a few prepared meat mixtures that offer some additional flavor. In other words, instead of just the regular tuna and shrimp and salmon - and of course, spicy tuna - they offered at least three different tuna based mixtures where they took chunk tuna and then mixed it with various sausages to create a flavorful mixture. 3. The way he put all of the toppings into a ball and then mix it with my chosen sauces was different than I've ever seen. Normally, they just put the toppings on top and then squirt whatever toppings you want onto that. This made for a much more even flavor profile. Restaurant wasn't terribly busy, so it was nice and quiet while I eat my meal. I can't believe I waited this long to go here. I'm in this area a lot. I will be back.

This place was okay. I ordered the regular bowl (with 2 scoops of protein) and got a scoop of…read moresalmon and a scoop of tuna and it was tiny. For the sauces, I felt like they barely put anything in so it tasted plain. I think the price is pretty high too. Parking lot connected with other restaurants.

WHO KNEW! (4 stars)…read more - FOOD: good - PRICE: decent - SERVICE: good - AMBIANCE: typical sushi restaurant I've always called this place "boob sushi" (don't tell me i'm the only one). Craving simple sushi but didn't want to drive out of the way to my go-to spots, decided to try boob sushi and to my surprise, it was satisfying! MISO SOUP ($3) - why was there miso soup above the average? it looked average but the taste had a slight upgrade. HIGHLY RECOMMEND LEMON SALMON ROLL ($16.50) - Spicy Krab, cucumber, gobo, topped with salmon, avoicado, lemon slices, green onion, tobiko, and spicy ponzu. I'm not a roll girl but i've turned into a roll girl living out here in SD where quality fish can be hard to come by. Lemon salmon roll is my safe play when it comes to ordering something at a sushi restaurant - i will judge my experience by this roll. The description was much more plentiful than most lemon salmon rolls you see at other restaurants. It did come with a little bit of heat but a nice heat that was balanced with the creamy of the salmon and avocado and then a splash of citrus. Overall bite was pleasant. HIGHLY RECOMMEND I'd def come back to try other (rolls) things on the menu. Until the next review....

I came here with my friend to celebrate her birthday. We were seated outside and our waitress took…read moreour order. She was very sweet and quick with getting our orders in. We got: - spicy garlic edamame - eel avocado roll - spicy girl roll - lemon salmon roll The ambiance was very cute. Twinkle lights outside. Good temperature. Not too crowded. the incident: After the edamame (which was pretty good), the eel avocado roll came out. After one piece I realized it tastes like it's mostly avocado and no eel. I open up a second piece to take a look. It has a tiiiiiiiny piece of eel and is like 85% avocado. I ask the waiter (not ours) that's filling our waters about it and he grabs the remaining 5 pieces (since my friend ate one) to go show the chef. I watch him give it to the chef, they exchange a few words, and I figure they'll take care of it. A few minutes later the manager comes out and asks "is something wrong with this roll?". I point out the same issue. She points at the roll and says "that's eel right there." I open up that piece right in front of her and show her the tiny piece of eel (I will be attaching the photo). She then starts telling me in a condescending tone (with hand gestures for the numbers) "these rolls have 2 pieces of eel in them and they're $9. If you want more eel you can order the dragon roll that has 4 pieces and costs $18." I told her that I'm not privy to how they make the rolls here, and that I was just expecting avocado AND eel in my roll when I order an eel avocado roll. She told me she could remake it, "but it will be the same" since they only use 2 pieces. I told her it's no problem, that I don't need her to remake it. Could she just take the roll and take it off my bill? She said since we "already ate half" (even though we only ate 2 pieces and opened up 2 more to show the insides), she would only take of 50% off. I told her that's fine. At that point I just wanted her to leave my table because she was ruining the birthday mood and making everyone, including the table next to us, uncomfortable. It was so bizarre. I just asked for eel in a roll that SHOULD have eel. I was trying to be polite and she was immediately super condescending and hostile. I'm sorry you didn't want to put another piece of eel in the $9 roll. Anyways... our waitress (Grecia) was very apologetic after the fact. She was quick to get us our bill and to-go box when we asked. She's the only reason I'm giving this place 2 stars instead of 1 Overall, Food was good (besides that one roll) Service was... good from waitstaff, outlandishly bad from the manager. Seemed they were maybe a little short staffed too? Maybe that's why the manager was on edge? Who knows. Either way, our birthday dinner mood was ruined. The customer service needs to be better.

The woman who helped me took my order without trying to upsell me on anything, which I appreciated. My food was ready in less than 10 minutes, packaged neatly, and she even helped me put everything into my insulated bag before taking the time to chat with me. We ended up talking story about the differences between plate lunches in Hawaiʻi versus California, and I have to say--this is my go-to spot for Hawaiian food in California, period. I couldn't even wait until I got home. I took one bite in the car, and the meat was incredibly juicy, moist, and packed with flavor. The rice was perfectly sticky, just how I like it, and the mac salad was delicious too. My absolute favorite is the lilikoi lemonade. They give you such a generous portion that it easily lasts a couple of days. Great food, great service, and great people. I'll definitely be back!

RK is temporarily closed for name change -- and hopefully some much-needed improvements. We used to…read morelove RK Sushi until about three years ago when we started to see a downward shift in product, prices and service. Apparently, someone thought it was a good idea to have to order off of an iPad device set up at each table. When we asked about the the new ordering procedure, our female server stated that "We were tired of having to explain all of the details/ingredients of the different dishes." Well, aren't those details usually listed on the menus? Besides, now the servers get to spend their time assisting customers in using the Ipads. On two separate occasions, my dining companion and I found a small bone in one of the sushi rolls. This last time, when we mentioned it, we were given no compensation, and not really even much of an apology; our female server just sort of shook it off. I'm thinking she perhaps knew the restaurant would be closing soon, so why bother? Two things that really stick in my craw, during our most recent visit, we noticed that sake was taken off the beverage menu altogether (the sake-beer special has been long-gone for 5+ years now, anyway), and the restaurant is now charging an additional $2 for avocado on any roll. Personally, I would rather see a slight increase in prices on ALL the rolls, to help compensate for this petty adjustment, rather than a blatant price increase on rolls that contain avocado, when many rolls contain it, anyway. RK is scheduled to reopen in October, and although Sushi Roll Land on Fifth in Hillcrest has been our go-to for a few years, we might consider giving RK another try, in hopes that there have been some big changes. 1) Please bring back actual servers to take our order, and not force us to rely on Ipads, 2) bring back sake (and sake-bomber drink specials perhaps?), and 3) take a little more time filleting the fresh fish, to ensure there are no bones to ruin my appetite.
