    Decided to drive all the way to Martinez to try this place since we heard such amazing things and it did not disappoint! Mike is awesome and a very talented chef. We tried almost all of the rolls on the menu and Mike was kind enough to make additional rolls on the house since we couldn't decide what else to get! Awesome little food hall and worth checking out if ever in the area. Will definitely be coming back, it was well worth the drive!!

    I have been looking forward to visiting the newest addition to the Martinez Market on Main, and it did not disappoint. It's on the first floor right when you walk in and has plenty of table and counter space to eat. The owner was our sushi chef and he was super friendly. The sushi was well made and had really nice flavor. I was particularly impressed with the "it's just lit" appetizer and the "unincorporated Pacheco" roll. I'll be visiting again and look forward to trying the other rolls.

    NOT OPEN DONT WASTE TIME

    Second time we have shown up and they are completely closed... no one is ever there to represent the establishment. Very weird and they have new poster hours in there but they aren't operating at this time I am to assume this is permanently closed and it should be labeled as such. Stop wasting peoples time.

    Go to Hella sushi and Chef Mike will take care of you! Wonderful service, great presentation and delicious, fresh fish. We had the Omakase style dinner and trusted Chef Mike to create something special for us and he delivered flawlessly back to back. Truly a treasure in Martinez and 10/10 recommend!

    We have heard great reviews about this new sushi place in Martinez, so we had to try them and boy.. they are sooo good! The sashimi were super fresh and I love the 'unconventional' ingredients and the chef even customized it and 'jazz it up'! We took the order to go but there are plenty of seatings in Market and Main. Ambiance was casual and delightful. Service was awesome! I could tell that he is making those rolls from the heart. We will be back again and if you have not try the place, you should!

    According to this, he should have been open. So unprofessional.

    My husband and I attempted to have lunch here on 7/24. We live in Vallejo and decided it would be worth it to cross the bridge for some sushi. All the pictures looked amazing and the reviews seemed great. We got there around 2:20pm and per their website and the yelp hours, they should have been open. We walked inside and I instantly got annoyed. No one was there! I saw a handwritten sign that said something along the lines of they open at 3:30pm and if we want sushi to text whatever number was there.....I mean if we want sushi, why isn't someone there during the times on the website and on yelp? I was pretty disappointed. I don't cross the bridge anymore just cause. I need a good reason. Maybe the owner should update his hours. I tried to DM him on IG with this issue and until this day no response. I even sent him an email via his website and the email got returned. Is this place even open at all anymore? I don't plan to come back to try again because it might be another disappointment.

    Look no further for the freshest most delicious sushi made by Sushi Chef /owner Ben ( whose passion stems from his 15 years in Japan and his mama's cooking)!

    My husband and I went to downtown Martinez for a much anticipated date night. We were craving fresh sushi and Hella Sushi did not disappoint! Located in Market and Main, the sushi chef (Mike) walked us through some of their most popular rolls. We went with the "I Feel Ya!!" and "Market and Main" rolls. Both were amazing, super fresh with delicious house made sauces. The Market Main roll was seared to perfection. Service was excellent and Mike was super attentive, knowledgeable, and knows his craft. Highly recommended, Will definitely return!

    Saw the good reviews on yelp and wasn't disappointed!! Mike made us a special roll that had mango and salmon and was phenomenal

    Small but mighty menu. Located inside Market and Main, mostly a take out location. We got the scared scallops, seared salmon belly, and the Ya feel me? roll. Everything was very good.

    Spicy Salmon roll in the front and the Market and Main roll in the back

    The Main and Market roll and the Spicy Salmon roll were delicious! The chef was so friendly and even offered to customize rolls for us. He's been making sushi for 10 years and it shows! He definitely knows what he's doing. This is definitely our new late night sushi spot.

    It's just it. Pacheco roll. Hyphy Bites.

I think this would have been better shared with two others (so much... yolk...), but fresh & delicious nonetheless OCEAN BREEZE ROLL: Minimal sauce to highlight the fish flavor...! With just the right amount of rice; not too vinegar-y, either. You can really taste the sweetness in each fish. I'm super impressed~ MATCHA CHEESECAKE: Light in sweetness but dense. Very creamy with distinct matcha flavor. We loved it! For their Mother's Day special, they offered a free piece of jewelry (???) for any receipt total over $100. I chose a black metal ring. Never seen a deal like this before...? Though... The only bummer is the use of AI everywhere in the restaurant, from the art on their Yelp to the sushi-themed playlist ^^;; Ofc I wouldn't ding them a star for it, but it does affect perception of their authenticity a bit. Still a great restaurant-- my hope is that patronizing them more will lead to working with real artists...!

Told they'd be ready in five minutes which I thought was interesting. I arrived 15 minutes after placing the order, The place was empty- it was around 4PM on a weekday. No welcome in or hello from staff, I was asked "pick up?" And said yes and provided my name. I was informed they were still preparing my order-GOOD. I would've been concerned if it was ready in less time. I handed my payment card to the host, she struggled with inserting the card into the square device, as well as holding the chip over the device as well. After about 3 minutes she figured it out. I was handed my receipt to fill out. She watched as I filled in the respected lines. I did not leave a tip - as it was a up order, and service thus far was not to par. I waited for my order... 8 minutes later it was ready. Before leaving I checked the bag, order correct, but lacking my preference of soy sauce. I asked the host for more she came back with ONE packet, and tossed it in the bag I was holding. I said out loud "oh just one?" Then asked the sushi chef if they had little to go containers for soy sauce and if I could get one of those. He said yes and instructed the host to fill one for me. She did, came out and handed it to me with what I interpreted was an annoyed look. I said thank you and left. Fascinating to say the least. I guess I was asking for too much. Sushi was decent. Hit the spot. But have had better.

We tried the salmon tempura roll, mango roll, spider roll, unagi roll, a kids sushi combo, takoyaki, and a few other rolls and a couple of items on their specials menu. Besides the takoyaki, everything else was a bit disappointing. The soft shell crab didn't really have a taste other than the batter, and the mango tasted really artificial. I'm not sure what was going on there, but no one liked that roll. Even my son, who absolutely loves mango and sushi, didn't like it. My youngest son barely touched his sushi combo. The unagi roll was good, but really tiny and not too much unagi in it. I'm not sure if it was an off day, because it was one of my mom's favorite places. But even she was disappointed and said she probably won't be back. One thing I did appreciate though was how they have modified chopsticks for kids! That was a nice touch. Service was okay.

    Honestly this is best ayce sushi I've been too and find myself coming back often! I love sushi and…read morehave been to a number of other ayce sushi places and tbh, none of them compare to Fuji when it comes to both price, quality, and consistency. For the price, it's very affordable as you pay a flat price and can order everything off the menu. There's no extra charge for sashimi either which I found that all other ayce sushi places do and even with the extra charge for sashimi at other places, their sashimi is often small and the quality is low or just poorly prepared. At Fuji, the sashimi is always consistent and they provide great cuts and variety of sashimi like salmon, eel, tuna, mackerel, and more. I love that it's already included as part of the price and there's no hidden or extra fees. The rolls taste great as well! You can easily grab the rolls from the shelf where they put the freshly made rolls or if you don't see the rolls you want, you can ask the sushi chefs to make them. Personally, I find it more worth it to ask the sushi chefs for sashimi, hand rolls, and the aburi (seared) salmon which is my personal favorite here lol. For the appetizers, you need to order with the waiters but luckily they're very quick and attentive! The fried oyster is really good. The space itself is pretty large and you'll either be seated at a table or at the bar but if you're able to choose, definitely go with the bar! The bar includes the rotating conveyor belt which often has salmon nigiri and other small dishes which makes it more convenient to sit there. This review has been long overdue tbh but I've been here enough times and the quality, consistency, variety, and price is what makes me keep coming back!

    Yeah, just go, lol!…read more Fuji Sushi Buffet is one of those places where the best strategy is simple: don't fill up too fast on the conveyor belt rolls. The ready to go rolls are totally fine, but the real move is saving room for the sashimi :P Head straight for the sashimi line. The salmon and tuna can be a little lacking, but the saba mackerel is yummmmmm. That's the one I keep going back for. Their specialty rolls that you order fresh in line are also the way to do it. Those usually hit way harder than the grab and go stuff. Basically, pace yourself, be strategic, and go in with a sashimi game plan. That's when this place really delivers. It just "hits the spot" when you want a LOOOOOTTTTTTT of sashimi!! Kanpai!!!!
