    16 Piece Special Maki Combination with salad, miso, and flan like pudding dessert cup
    Sheena M.

    I've been wanting to try this place! The prices are great. The 16 piece special maki combo...SO GOOD! Comes with option of edamame or salad, I chose salad, dressing was yummy, A little heavy, but that's great for me. Small miso soup, and a dessert, which was a flan like pudding cup . Choice of spicy or non spicy salmon, I got spicy. hardly spicy for me but still tasty. Very kind service. It's aimed more to-go with easy pick up service, but might be a few tables to seat. I live close by, and Will definitely be back

    Crispy California Roll

    I just ordered takeout of the crispy California roll. Amazing!!! The roll is generous with avocado and crab salad inside, with crispy batter and crunchy topping and sauce. I took advantage of their 2-for-1 special.

    I have loved this place for years! It's not in my neighborhood so I rarely get here anymore. Authentic and good quality. Street parking and 3 parking spots right behind the restaurant. The atmosphere is basic but clean. The service is great! Extensive menu options! Lot's of vegan and vegetarian options. One of my favorite sushi restaurants in all of California!

    16 Piece Special Maki Combination

    - combo#1 - special sushi deluxe #3 - sake sushi I've ordered from here multiple times now in-person, but mainly delivery. Pricing is solid and honestly I have no issue with it for the quality and amount of sushi I get. I usually get the sushi deluxe box, because I like getting a variety of nigiri. There's usually one nigiri that I don't super like but that's because I'm usually someone that just likes salmon. The rice isn't densely packed like some other places and the fish is actually pprreetttyyyy darn good. Salmon nigiri is really good. Spicy tuna roll is so good. The maki rolls I got in the combo was basic but like...that's what a maki roll is. Whenever I'm craving quality sushi, MG sushi is both accessible and able to provide quality sushi...it's hard to beat. (When ordering in person...they were done making it really quickly too!! 10-15min max) Plus the lil pudding cups they give for each combo or deluxe box is my favorite touch

    We weren't overly impressed. We ordered takeout and got back to our hotel to find that we weren't given chop sticks and we were missing our added sauces. Our hotel was out of the way so it wasn't worth it to go back. The sushi wasn't bad but it wasn't great either and it was difficult to eat without utensils.

    49ers Roll and Santa Cruz Roll
    Ditto -.

    8/10 Dittos! Delicious rolls and have no complaints. Affordable and decent quality sushi in Santa Cruz. Honestly really shocked about the reviews for this place because it was honestly really good! For someone that is rather picky about the quality of fish, this place was decent especially for the price being the cheapest I've seen in the area. Maybe it's cause we got it delivered but who knows. My roommate and I decided to Uber Eats sushi for dinner since we were both craving it. We both got two rolls each, my roommate getting 2 orange blossoms, and for me a 49ers and Santa Cruz roll. They packaged them individually just as we asked and came labeled as well. The 49ers roll wasnt really traditional and had spicy tuna and no lemons in sight, but was still pretty tasty. The Santa Cruz roll was absolutely delicious. The mango pairs really nicely with the salmon + crab and added a nice sweetness. My roommate let me try her orange blossom roll which I'll definitely get next time because it ended up being my favorite! If you love salmon I definitely recommend ordering that. The wasabi comes in little sachets for connivence and the ginger was good. This place is now gonna be my go to for sushi in Santa Cruz. It's definitely not omakase quality but not safeway quality either. The delivery and preparation was extremely quick too! It's decent and for how much you pay it's for sure worth giving it a try at least.

    Came in , no one greeted or asked to sit me down. Had to grab a menu myself, waited for 10 minutes and then went to the register to order my own food. Waited 30 minutes for my food. TERRIBLE SERVICE, AND BANANA IN MY FOOD??

    Ask the Community - MG Sushi

    Do they use real crab or imitation crab like practically every other place in Santa Cruz?

    They have dishes that utilize both, but California Rolls traditionally use imitation crab at every sushi place I've visited in the country. You're probably looking for dishes that have "soft-shell" crab which they do serve.

    Could someone tell me the exact address of MG Sushi? I've seen addresses on both Ocean St. and Seabright Ave. so I'm a bit confused about which one is correct

    It's new address is 1733 Seabright Ave. They moved out of the Ocean St. location.

    Had a great time trying arepas at Pana while at the sharks game on a Thursday night!…read more It's a popular spot that capture a long line because of its live cooking and delicious food. It took about 7-10 minutes for my food to be done. I ordered the Sifrina which is an arepa with shredded chicken, cheese, mayo, and avocado. It was so delicious, great amount of filling, and the avo spread was so tasty. Would love to come here again!

    I can't believe I hadn't written a review for Pana before!…read more I hadn't been around the Santa Cruz area in a while, but I was so happy to be back and finally check out their new spot inside Abbott Square Market, right on Cooper Street. I've been to Pana before and usually go for the Pabellón arepa, which is also delicious, but this time I tried the Reina Pepiada, and wow. It's made with shredded chicken, mayo, and avocado. The arepa was extra crispy, which I loved. Honestly, even as a Colombian, and someone who grew up eating arepas all my life, I have to say, this Venezuelan version is amazing. Super flavorful and well-balanced. Germán, the owner, was super welcoming as always. He told me they're opening a new location in San José, which is way closer to me, and I'm honestly so excited to visit them there too! The vibe that day was perfect. There was live music playing, people dancing, and I was just sitting there enjoying my arepa in the sun with all that great energy around me. If you haven't tried Pana, you're missing out. The food, the people, the vibe, todo was on point.

We were walking around after a meetup, tired, hungry, not really planning anything -- and then this little spot caught our attention. Arslan's Turkish Street Food. The second we walked in, everything changed. Loud conversations, open kitchen, Turkish music playing somewhere in the background, steam coming off the grill, trays of baklava and Turkish delight stacked behind the glass. Didn't even feel like California anymore for a minute. Started simple -- Turkish black tea and strawberry coconut Turkish delight. Then the guy behind the counter randomly brought us another piece for free. Small thing, but stuff like that always stays with you. The roasted red lentil soup surprised me the most. First time in my life putting lemon into soup... and now I kinda get it. Warm, rich, slightly smoky. Perfect after walking around all day. Then came the lamb wrap. Massive. Juicy. One of those meals where halfway through you realize you underestimated it. And honestly, I loved how chaotic the place felt. Not quiet. Not polished. People talking over each other, kitchen moving fast, plates flying out nonstop. Felt alive. Dinner for two was around $57, which honestly doesn't even shock me anymore in California. And for this kind of experience? Worth it. Easy 5 stars from me. Definitely coming back next time I'm in Santa Cruz.
