    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!

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 !!

    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

    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.

    Delicious food good pricing went there for my first time I got chicken dumplings and so did my mom and I'm very picky about my food and picky on what I like but this place hit the spot the staff are kind and helpful and know about the menu I got what I asked for it was very peaceful and quiet and I would come back I found This place on Google Maps I highly recommend this place if you are looking for delicious tasty food I already miss it I had just came in and dine in with my mom today

The waiters are friendly, attentive, and make you feel welcome every visit. The restaurant itself is huge, super clean, and has a stage and giant TV screens that give it a fun, lively atmosphere. This time we ordered the pork shumai, shrimp dumplings, BBQ pork buns, and my personal favorite- the hot and sour soup. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what we were craving. We also grabbed some creamy egg yolk buns to take home for dessert, and they did not disappoint. Easy to find parking.

    My family and I come here from time to time for dimsum even though it's a further drive for us…read more Food: it feels like there is more variety than Golden Island, the other place we frequent. The dimsum consistently comes out hotter too. We came today and had a bit of a sour experience. My MIL thought that the dishes were miscounted on our stamp sheet, and somehow the cart ladies and the manager(?) got involved. Everyone started counting dishes for a heated 5-10 mins. My MIL insisted the # of dishes were incorrect and the ladies kept counting out loud (and it got louder) but I feel like everyone kept on counting different numbers. Haha, it was kinda awkward and silly. One of the cart ladies seemed frustrated, briefly walked away and then came back and started using a random pair of chopsticks on the table to bang against each dish to count it aloud. Thought that was very classless no matter who was in the wrong. Just bad hygiene and rude. Ultimately, not sure who counted wrong or if my MIL made a mistake. Also, the cart lady avoided us on purpose after the altercation. She eventually came back later with her cart and I very specifically asked her for egg custard bun. She gave us the running salty egg yolk one..when I told her this she exploded at us. Very rude. She was already on the defense without us even saying much. The manager tried her best to deescalate everything so I could appreciate that. Another random thing that I caught was a male manager was refilling our pot of tea and he didn't even announce himself and hurriedly brought the super hot pot of tea between two people that were sitting closer to each other than the slot next to them between another pair on our table...I just thought that was so thoughtless and inconsiderate. My experience all other times have been good, so I'll chalk this down to the stress of the July 4th weekend breaking people down inside & projecting it on customers lol

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.
