    This spot is tucked away in a little strip mall off Third, so it's easy to miss, but definitely worth finding. I was honestly so impressed with the pricing, you just don't see sushi at these prices anymore, and I really appreciated how affordable everything was. The food was really, really good. I ordered a lychee tea, two California rolls, and a tropical roll topped with banana (don't knock it till you try it, it was so good!). I even got a free salmon roll, which was a nice surprise. You get a free sushi roll with purchase of 2 rolls over $20 The only thing I didn't love was the tuna sashimi. It didn't taste sushi-grade to me, more like plain raw fish, so unfortunately that went to waste. The staff were very kind and welcoming, even though they were a bit busy. The place itself was clean with plenty of seating if you want to dine in. There are still so many items on the menu I want to try, so I'll definitely be back!

    Wonderful sushi! Everything was fresh and presented beautifully, you can't beat the price either!

    This is a great place for quick sushi. The staff was nice place was clean and food was great

    I love going to places where you see the whole family working and attending to their guests. It just gives a very special feeling, coming from someone who also at a young age I would go sell food with my dad after school. The food was pretty good, the prices are unheard of, but fear not, the food is not reflective of the price, it's even better !! Thank you guys and keep working hard and your dreams will come true

    Good food ,great price , buy three rolls you get forth free , hidden spot , good service

    Shrimp Rice Roll

    In the words of the small child sitting behind us "this is soooo good!". Literally such a nice vibe, the staff is so friendly and the food is amazing. It's a cozy place good for small groups or one on one. Just a chill place for sushi and dumplings. They just recently opened so please be patient snd kind with them.

    10/10!! Everything was so good, the service is amazing and they're very nice. The food was fresh and a great price, I highly recommend trying this spot.

    Inside

    Tasty, nice, sweet..... Ok, the food was tasty, I had bbq pork bun, chive/shrimp, xiu mai, a dragon roll and free tempura roll. I ate everything xcept 1 bun. All was great. Xiu mai was best. I dont know what it was but bomb! Mama and daughters were very attentive, friendly, Place was clean and bright. Seating is abundant but not real comfortable, I'll return! For sure!

    Shrimp Rice Roll $5.99

    Amazing value! I hope this place gets more business and does well. Everything is very freshly made and good service. Family business. Nice ladies that even speak Spanish. They have a spend $20 and get a free $5.99 basic sushi roll promotion right now. I had already actually finished eating and paid and the lady made sure to give me a free $5.99 sushi roll before I left. Black milk tea boba with less ice - it was an excellent value at $2.99 + $0.80 for boba. Big cup and didn't skimp on the drink because of the less ice. Soft, chewy boba. This would easily be $6-8 at any other boba shop. 8/10 Xiu mai - taste and texture were pretty good. Maybe not worth $5.99 for the value of it though. Steamed in a bamboo steamer on a piece of cabbage which is how it should be done. Served with chili garlic sauce and a sweet thick soy sauce. 7/10. Steamed shrimp rice roll - freshly made and steamed on a piece of cabbage. My only minor complaint is they should have poured out a bit of the water that collected from steaming in a plate so it watered down the sweet soy sauce a bit. But you can just add more soy sauce that is provided on the table. Very soft steamed rolls, shrimp cooked perfectly. 3 good-sized pieces of rolls. 9/10. Special tuna roll - Very fresh. Spicy tuna inside with masago and avocado. Spicy tuna outside with black sesame seeds and spicy mayo sauce. 8 very large pieces. Good fresh rice. Served with pink ginger, wasabi and extra eel & spicy mayo on the side. Not spicy whatsoever at all. 10/10. Amazing value!! At $8.99 Salmon avocado roll - 8 huge pieces. Fresh salmon and rice. Sprinkles with white and black sesame. $5.99 excellent value. 10/10 Black milk tea with boba Xiu mai Steamed shrimp rice rolls Special tuna roll Salmon avocado roll (free) All this came out to $26 before tip which is a steal! Easy parking and plenty of tables for seating. Bench seating, clean and quiet. I can't wait to go back.

    We ordered the dragon roll, rainbow roll, shrimp dumplings, and salmon roll. The sushi rolls tasted fresh and they were good. Unfortunately, we were too hungry and forgot to take pictures of the rolls. That's how good they were. This place just open last week. Give them a try. Service was fast. Friendly staff. It seems to be family owned business. We support local and family owned businesses in Chula Vista.

    Can't express enough how sweet Carmen & her family are! It was our first time and we were happy with everything we ordered. We had her surprise us with her favorites and ended on sweet tooth with the peach buns for dessert not too sweet but just enough to satisfy our bellies! Sushi was great as well, the volcano roll was scrumptious! I love supporting mom and pop shops. Love the hospitality of this place! Such a gem! Thanks so much for the yummy food, we will definitely be back again !!

    Sushi very good

    the best sushi. i recommend the avocado salmon roll,tempura roll, and the salmon and tuna nigiri. great place, boba is good too.

    I believe that I have found my new favorite place to eat in Chula Vista! The ambiance is great, the customer service is top notch and the food is amazing! I tried the tuna said and all of their dim sum choices. To top it off I tried their Green Milk Tea and it disappoint. Definitely in my rotation of at least 2-3 times a week! Give these guys a try you will not be disappointed

If you don't know what Cantonese cuisine is then stop reading now. The waitress was nice but you can't fix "stupid". We wanted to order a combination meat dish half bbq pork and half steam chicken. This is a common offering at all Cantonese restaurants . But instead of getting what we ordered.. we got a whole big plate of steamed chicken a a big plate of bbq pork. I made them take back the pork and not to charge us for it. The next thing we ordered was pan fried seafood noodles, standard Cantonese fried noodle dish with Chinese broccoli, chunks of fish, shrimp and squid. Well there were only 3 pieces of shrimp 2 pieces of squid and the rest was a lot of chunks of fish. The fried noodle underneath the seafood should be drenched in a delicious sauce, but it was not so the noodle was very dry. Makes you wonder where they got the cook from. The last dish we ordered was stir fried water spinach. The spoilage itself but the poured way too much salt on it. And lastly... the bill... $90. I really don't mind paying $80 to $120 for a dinner for two. But this place does not have the server or the guy in the kitchen justify the price. Very disappointed. I don't know how long they've been in business.. but I guess you can get away with a lot these days. We're always looking for authentic Cantonese restaurants if you know of any more please let me know. Meanwhile... we'll just stick with Nobel Chef, Imperial Dunasty, and the occasional dim sum at Golden Island.""

My only complaint is that it's really pricey. I spent $90 on Dim Sum--JUST FOR MYSELF!! A single serving of Siu Mai (Shumai) - Chinese steamed dumplings (you get 4 per serving), is over $9! It adds up fast. But, it beats flying back to San Francisco or Hong Kong. Anyway, the ambience is pleasant, and the workers are super friendly. I give them 5-Stars.

I checked the door and they open at 10:00am. First two hours of parking is free, there is also a paid lot adjacent to theirs which is very convenient. I was one of the first to enter, but my other half was walking in so I waited to be seat. We were greet with a smile by a gentleman and sat immediately. I love the cart pushing experience of Dim Sum and my friend hadn't experience that yet. Service was attentive, water was refilled with out asking and plates were cleared within minutes and food was on par, the only real disappointments were the stuffed bean curd, it was missing the bamboo shoots and veggies and the Gai Lan was over cooked. We had the classics: Siu Mai, Har Gow, Baked Pork Buns, Glutinous Rice savory puff and egg tarts. The tea was steeped well and was served as we were being seated. I did appreciate how Chinese the decor was. It gave me wedding banquet vibes. We did have our photo taken on our way out. Overall it was ok, it wasn't good enough to come back but I'm glad we tried it. Our prefer Dim Sum spot has better quality food and less expensive.

They were short staff and if you wanted something, good luck on waiving them down because they don't come to check on you. We ended up ordering more food and waited. Turns out, it was never placed. Make sure they print out a slip as proof so you know your order was placed. As far as price, it ranges from $6.68 to $11.88. Average was $9.68 like the siu mai. That's $2.50 each! Price increase and quality went down. The har gow skin was thick, the siu mai was bland. Chicken feet was decent. It has free parking. Inside was bright and they have a private room.

The menu said the family meals were meant for parties of 8, but let me tell you. We ate until we were hurting and there was still a ton of leftovers. Those meals can easily serve a dozen people in my opinion which makes them even more of a great deal. If you've got a large party, this is a fantastic option to make sure everyone eats their fill. With that said, all the food was delicious. Hot and fresh from the kitchen, each dish with its own unique flavor and textures. We ran the gamut of flavors over our meal and it's hard to really point to one singular dish that was my favorite. After having almost 10 different dishes, I can confidently say that they will have something you will really enjoy. The restaurant itself is a bit no frills. But that's fine. They're putting their time in to food, not ambiance and I am totally down with that. Service is great. We were in a back corner, but we never felt ignored nor overly watched over. We were able to sit down and enjoy our meal at our own speed. My only 'gripe' with the restaurant is that the restroom is actually outside and shared with the other businesses in the complex. And that bathroom isn't the best maintained. I'm assuming that's up to the property management and not the restaurant (or other businesses) so I'm not dinging my review, but just keep that in mind. Might be best to try & hold it if you can. Ultimately, Golden Chopsticks really knocked it out of the park and caught me so off guard. I am so glad we came here on a bit of a whim. It was fantastic and I can't wait to go back.
