    Very affordable sushi and super delicious. I love supporting local family own business. The owners are very nice and customer service is amazing. It's a small little restaurant with about 5 tables. Have to come back and try the rest of the menu!

    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!

    The workers were very nice and food was very good. I really recommend the miso soup it has small chunks of fish

    Apologies in advance for not taking photos of each and every item we ordered. We were starving once we got there! The service was quick and efficient. We came in as a party of six, and I also ordered takeout for my son. While we waited on each order, they made sure we had our drinks and appetizers ready, so the wait never felt long at all. The employees were incredibly sweet, attentive, and welcoming! The ambiance is small, quiet, and relaxed. Good place to have a nice sit down dinner. You can also order takeout if you'd prefer that. Although I forgot to take photos of the menu as well, all of the photos currently on Yelp (as of May 2026) were accurate. I also haven't seen prices this affordable in such a long time. Everything we ordered was delicious, and I definitely plan on coming back to try more items on the menu!

    Various rolls and Salmon Sashimi! Yummmm

    Great Service, Great food! Super great prices! They are super nice people. Buy 3 rolls get 1 free! You can't go wrong. I go at least every week to get my sushi fix.

    BETTER THAN SUSHI HOUSE! Food is amazing, taste fresh the portions are fantastic and the prices and very affordable. The staff is friendly and nice, food comes quick. Must try - won't regret. Place smells great and very clean!

    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

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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    The dim sum was tasty with many boba drink choices. The price was pretty fair too. It's a casual diner, a mom and pop store. Give a try!

A bit noisy as there's sooo many tables just back to back all around each other, so you can hear everybody around. Large room with servers that go around in carts with all the dumpling menu options and all you do is say yes to all the ones you need and it's served right then and there, how convenient! Unlike most AYCE dumpling places, their portions here are fairly large and definitely shareable. So pick responsibly, but then again, you are able to take home leftovers. Leftovers are the best though, right? This was my first time with a large group of friends and let our main host choose all she thought was good as most of us were first timers and she's been there several times and every choice was definitely not a disappointment. I'll definitely come back to share an updated review on more food in specifics! I hardly took enough photos as we were having a great time and just went all in on the food!

It's not…read morequite on the level of Yank Sing in San Francisco, which remains one of my benchmarks for really great dim sum, but this is definitely some of the better dim sum I've had in San Diego. One of the things I really enjoyed was the traditional dim sum cart service. There's something fun about having a revolving parade of carts come through the dining room loaded with bamboo and metal steamers. The lids are lifted right at your table, you get a look at what's inside, and before long you're pointing at dishes you hadn't even planned on ordering! I quickly found plenty of my favorites. I had shrimp siu mai, pork and shrimp siu mai, BBQ pork buns, shrimp har gow, beef cheung fun, and egg custard tarts. The dish I couldn't remember the name of (and had to look up later) was the beef cheung fun, steamed rice noodle rolls wrapped around a savory beef filling and served with a light, slightly sweet soy-based sauce poured over the top. Delicious! The har gow had those wonderfully translucent wrappers surrounding plump shrimp, the siu mai were flavorful, and the BBQ pork buns were soft and fluffy. And you can't finish dim sum without something sweet, so the egg custard tarts were an easy decision. Flaky pastry with that bright, silky custard center makes for a pretty great ending. I was dining alone, which presents one small problem with dim sum: I still want to try EVERYTHING! I quickly ordered more than I could possibly finish, but that was intentional. It just meant I had plenty of leftovers to take with me for later. If you enjoy traditional cart-service dim sum and are looking for a good option in San Diego (Convoy Street area), Jasmine Seafood is definitely worth a visit. Good food, lots of choices rolling right past your table, and the classic dim sum experience that makes the meal as much fun as it is delicious. Solid four stars from me!

Wow, it's been so long since I've had you tiao (Chinese fried donuts) with soy milk! Their duck noodle soup and congee were also delicious. Protip: if you order a noodle soup, they will ask if you want your soup on the side. Don't do it because they barely have me enough soup to cover my noodles and I'm pretty sure if I hadn't gotten it on the side they would have given me more. But I haven't found a Chinese place this homey and authentic in San Diego in a long time. You know it's legit when you show up on a Sunday morning and the place is full of Chinese people. Planning to take my family here some day as I am sure they would love it. Very no-frills, fast service. The neighborhood is a bit sketchy so I don't think I would come here in the dark.

There was some additional parking behind the building that people may not know about. I have seen this business listed in numerous "best of" lists for this enclave of SD. The inside had around ten tables so we're talking about a maximum seating capacity of no more than fifty customers. The noodles were the featured items on the menu, specifically the Rice Noodle Soups and the Crispy Noodle Plates. Those two categories occupied an entire page of the menu. My eyes wandered to the Chow Fun section that had over a dozen varieties which was more than I have seen anywhere else in town. Instead of the prototypical Beef Chow Fun, I selected the Sate version for my order. An oval plate was brought to my table within ten minutes. I noticed there were a lot of onions in the mix, both white and green. Some tomato slices were also included which I found unusual and did nothing to enhance the dish. The pieces of beef were tender and covered with satay sauce. For $15.50, the price was on the lower side, however more rice noodles were needed. I would have preferred using half the number of onions too. The overall execution of the Sate Beef Chow Fun was between three and four stars.
