For $24, this is an unbeatable deal. The sushi combo includes miso soup, a side salad, an 8-piece rainbow roll, and four huge pieces of nigiri. Even from the photo, it's clear that the nigiri pieces are nearly the same size as the entire roll--seriously impressive. If I had known about their oversized nigiri back when I was in college, I would have been here every week. This place is truly a hidden gem in Berkeley. The staff is also incredibly friendly and accommodating, which only adds to the experience. I'll definitely be back soon. read more

I love the sushi at Party Sushi in Berkeley. Every time I go to Berkeley I need to get sushi from this place. Food it great, the service it good, and the Ambiance is ok. But, I go there for the sushi. read more

Party Sushi - Double Hamachi Roll, Salmon Lover Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Berkeley, California

The service was kinda odd. I went in about a half hour after they opened and the waitress was very brusque. The food I had there wasn't the best quality but wasn't the worst, but the take home roll that was supposed to have tuna on it was rough. It was either going bad or they put a weird glaze on it or both, but it was not red at all (and not cooked) and had a slimy neutral flavored slimy glaze on it? I wish it had been better as I have to run errands by there all the time and would love to snag a cheap bite when I'm there but it was brutal. read more

I've come to Party Sushi on multiple occasions now and each time I come, I ask myself why I don't come here more often! This is one of my favorite (and more affordable) sushi spots in Berkeley. I'm consistently met with extremely kind service and fresh fish. I came with two other friends of mine so we had to get the 3 amigos roll among others. Can you tell salmon is our favorite fish? The cuts were fairly thick and seem to be salmon belly cuts. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu and to try to catch one of their lunch special bento boxes! read more

We recently ordered online from this place for a quick snack. As it turns out the wait time was much longer than the ETA provided. Not only did they postpone our order multiple times in a row, but also the food items came in a sloppy package. Our driver disclosed their business practice to us: Delays are the inevitable unfortunate consequences of the husband - wife pair running the entire show! They don't hire workers. Wife is the only server and husband is the sole cook. So online customers pay more only to suffer from their stingness and greed. It's really unethical to keep customers waiting excessively simply because of their own "poverty mentality '. read more

first time here as well since it was along the same street and same block that the nail salon that my best friend and I visited. It was between Italian or sushi and of course we opted for the sushi. No one was in there, but we decided to check it out. My best friend ordered udon and a wrap sushi roll and I got a family affair and the Berkeley roll. I like that they gave me fork but they didn't have low sodium soy sauce. I wish it could be a little warmer inside as well. Both my rolls were pretty good. We might be back since we have another appointment at the nail salon on the 29th. read more

I've always walked by this place on Northside, but never thought to go inside. Something about the name didn't scream to me amazing sushi, so it was never on my mind. However, my friend recommended this spot to me one day so we came on a Friday night. It wasn't too busy, and we were able to get seated right away at prime dinner time. Their menu features a ton of signature rolls as well as the classics, and some other entrees that aren't sushi. I decided to get the three amigos roll which was crab and spicy tuna inside, wrapped in salmon and avocado on the outside. For what was in this roll, the price was super reasonable! I love how it was basically all fish, and with salmon and spicy tuna being two of my favorites, I knew I had to try it. The fish was so fresh and the sauce on top added great flavor to the entire piece. I was so happy to finally find a good quality sushi spot in Berkeley! There were so many other rolls and items that caught my eye on the menu that I will definitely be back soon for more. Highly recommend! read more

turns out this place actually has some lovely tonkotsu ramen. it's only $14 and includes many toppings. YAY!

The food was really good! A little too saucy but it added to the flavors. It's very charming ! we had ordered a lot of food and the price was really good! read more

Junk food grade of sushi. Good for cheap gratification of cravings. Nothing about this place implies quality. Imposters make imitation sushi at a subpar level. In Berkeley and Oakland, you have way more better options than this if you aim at a real culinary experience! read more

Stumbled upon this place after a morning at the Berkeley Botanical Gardens with my mom. The name of the restaurant made us not expect much, but the pictures and our stomachs got us into the door. Thank God it did! This place was amazing! First of all, the prices compared to across the Bay Bridge were reasonable. The customer service was great! The server was very accommodating and friendly. We don't eat shrimp and she made sure to note our specifications for our order. They accommodated by adding more veggie tempura to our order. The miso soup and green tea hit the spot because it was warm and not too hot. The fish here is fresh and melt in your mouth! The presentation for the chirashi was beautiful. The flavors were delicious and even the shiitake mushroom was cooked well. It was worth the price. The veggie tempura was crunchy and the veggies were not over cooked and you could still tell they were veggies. The salmon teriyaki has great sauce and tasted great. The rice with the sesame on top added more flavor to an overwise bland side. The house salad was fresh and the lettuce was crunchy. The Family Affair roll has raw onions and scallions on top. We were warned beforehand, but it added to the freshness and flavor of the roll. The mayo sauce used on top was yummy. Every time we come across the bay, we will be sure to visit this restaurant. An unexpected find that we hope will keep the same management. I totally recommend it to anyone craving some sushi. read more

Service was horrible. Waitress (owner) acted like we were bothering her for ordering. She was even mean mugging me when I tried to be nice and said thank you. Not coming back. Sushi was ok. Not amazing. Cut rolls were super tiny. Don't come unless you want to leave feeling frustrated and disrespected Went there for the price since my kids eat a lot of sushi. read more

Got a takeout order of Three Amigo ($13), Rainbow ($14), Swamp ($11), and Romeo and Juliet ($14.50) rolls from here. The order was ready when I got there about 10 minutes after my pickup time (25 minutes after I called). Unfortunately, the rolls were not very good. The fish didn't taste very fresh and the layer of rice was sparse in some places, making for some sad looking sushi (though lower carb, ha). Strangely there was also a sweet sauce on top of the rainbow roll, perhaps to mask the taste of the fish. However, I did like that the roll menu here had some creativity, and the prices were not cheap but not expensive. read more

It's my go to when I need to have a few bits. I love the cooked eel hand roll. I wasn't too happy with the soft shell crab roll with the tuna on top because the crab wasn't crispy but chewy when I bite into it. I pretty much have tried a lot on the menu and have been happy with food. The pinto box lunch special is smaller portions than the regular ones. read more

Such a good sushi spot! It's located by UC Berkeley campus. Reasonable price sushi. Service was great and waited for me and my friend for us to be ready to order. I recommend checking out. read more

Party Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Berkeley, California

Long overdue review for a restaurant I frequently order take out from! I typically see a few occupied tables and bags of take out ready to go whenever I pick my food up, so I would say either is a safe bet for quick service. I've never had an order take longer than 20 minutes to prepare (I usually get 2-3 rolls or chirashi) and they offer large party platters that require a few hours of advance notice. The food is ready this fast very consistently so I sometimes place an order on my walk back from the Safeway a few blocks north and it's ready by the time I arrive! I agree with another Yelper that the name was a little off-putting at first and is why I hadn't tried Party Sushi until this year, but I promise it's worth the try! The people who run this restaurant are so friendly and always say thanks and wish me a good day on my way out. You can order through their website and they are also on some delivery apps. There's practically no wait at all if you decide to place an order in person, as they get started on your food ASAP. All in all, I love getting take out from here and I guarantee for my next special occasion, I'm trying one of those party platters. read more

Soon as my family and I walked in we where approached with attitude then we order 100 worth of sushi and drinks and the fish quality was horrible...not only the fish the picked ginger, wasabi and rice was the worst I've ever had and sushi is my favorite food on the planet .... It seemed like they didn't even want us there I took a couple bits and I almost puked ....literally the worse sushi establishment I've ever had ....trash read more

Service completely horrible quality of food even worse I will never return back to a place like this. I can't believe that this establishment is even open in Berkeley and has been for the amount of years that it has !!! The waitress upon arrival was completely rude. I had some family down from the valley that wanted to go get some sushi. I picked the closest place walking distance to me so we did not have to drive and it was the worst experience. I apologize to my family many times the quality of the raw fish was not even edible ! I will never return back to this place ever again I'm not even the type of person to leave reviews like this. I have never experienced such horrible service anywhere in my life. read more

I'll admit I was a bit skeptical when I saw the name Party Sushi, but this was the best sushi restaurant that I have been to in the Berkeley area. We started off ordering the basic rolls, which ranged from $6 to $9, and ordered the Rock'N'Roll, Spicy Tuna, Sake Maki, and Party Scallop Roll. They each had their own unique flavors and are great options if you are looking for less expensive but high quality sushi. All the rolls also had great portion sizes and were between 6 to 8 pieces per roll, so I would recommend ordering a couple rolls and sharing. I think where Party Sushi shines is their specialty rolls. We loved the basic rolls so much that we ordered the Oyishi and Tenkazu Roll, and they were both worth paying a bit extra. The Oyishi was a tuna roll with avocado and topped with salmon. The salmon was incredibly rich and fatty, and I was surprised about high quality the fish was. The Tenkazu had a variety of different textures playing off eachother with the crab, tuna, and tempura topping. My favorites would be the Rock'N'Roll, Party Scallop, and Oyishi rolls. read more

Party Sushi is a charming little place with super fresh fish. The family who runs it is so kind, and the service is always friendly and very fast. I've ordered takeout twice now and the quality is consistently excellent. Plus, the prices are reasonable. I've found my new go-to sushi spot in Berkeley. Highly recommend! read more

Party sushi changed ownership a few years back, I think just before Covid. We used to go there all the time then stopped. Heard the quality wasn't the same as with three pervious chef. Well, they were wrong. The quality is great. It's run by a young Asian couple Tom (the chef) and Joanne (the server) and family is support staff :). Everything we've ordered is great. It's a regular visit when we decide to go for sushi in that area. Ambiance is fine although apparently more people since Covid like to order out, so getting a seat, reservation isn't or hadn't been an issue. Highly recommend the quality of the food and the owners are very kind people. read more

I was nearby and craving sushi, so I decided to try Party Sushi. The ratings were decent, but the photos of the sushi looked good, especially their salmon. Parking was street parking (metered). There were a few groups waiting outside for their takeout orders already, so I assumed the wait would be about 20-30 minutes. I ordered a couple of sake maki rolls and salmon nigiri, and the lady told me it will be about 20-25 minutes, so I added extra money to my meter and decided to walk down Shattuck to a boba shop that is about a 10 minutes walk - one way since by the time I come back, so I give them some extra time to prepare my order just in case and it will be about 30-35 minutes when I am back. I came back with my milk tea to enjoy with my sushi in about 30/35 minutes, went up to the counter and expected my order to be done. The lady looked at me with a blank and confused stare, then tried to look for my order and receipt. I believe they misplaced my receipt/ticket and she tried to play it off that they were busy and it will be an extra 15 minutes, but I heard her speak Chinese to the sushi chef about what really happened - she should had just been apologetic, honest and upfront about it instead of lying. If I had not waited so long already, I would had just cancelled my order, but I already waited almost 45 minutes at this point and I was hungry. After waiting an extra 15 minutes, I noticed a group of new customers getting their food, so I went up to the counter again and asked - the lady ensured me it will be ready in 10 minutes, I heard her rushing the sushi chef, but he refused to do mine until he finishes the orders he was working on (this exchange between the lady and the sushi chef was in Chinese). I ended up having to feed the meter again because of this whole incident, and ended up getting my food after about an hour and 15 minutes. After tasting the salmon, it was not fresh at all and super fishy which left a weird taste in my mouth. read more

Best sushi I ever had! Great family owned by with the best service. Truly the best restaurant in Berkeley. I love Party Sushi!

I love this quiet little place, the service is always great and the food is good. I particularly love the tootsie rolls and I appreciate the choice of "house create" rolls they have. Their bento boxes are generous in portion too. read more

This is a good example of "you get what you pay for". I ordered the lunch special (lunch bento beef teriyaki) with spicy tuna and it came out to $14.88 without tip. The lunch included ~1/2 cup of miso soup, rice, house salad, beef teriyaki, 6 pieces of sushi. About half the beef was just fat and the spicy tuna was fishy. (Again, you get what you pay for.) I was pleased with the miso soup, which was much warmer than the beef teriyaki (room temperature). Aside from the fattiness though, the beef marinade/sauce is actually quite nice. Overdressing seemed to be a theme since the house salad and beef were both sauced up to the max. I'd rather take my bucks down the street and pay for overpriced salad because at least you get the good ingredients. Cheap sushi means you get, well, other things. read more

THIEVERY from the new owners; they attempted to help themselves to a very healthy tip on a takeout order that I had not authorized. I only fortuitously caught it when I was reviewing my monthly billing statement looking for something else and the figure from Party Sushi didn't seem right. Sure enough, I checked my original receipt and they added a fat tip for themselves! I reported this to my credit company and they removed the fraudulent charge. Don't let this place's wholesome family-run business vibes fool you, they WILL do dishonest shit like this. Check your billing statements! This is in addition to the portion size decreasing and prices increasing since they took over from the old owners earlier this year. Overall very disappointing. Don't know that they're thinking when it's a shark tank in the area when it comes to fusion sushi. read more

My friend told me about this place, new ownership since this month. This is my second time trying with my family. I reordered the same rolls as my first time: bay scallops and Lion King! Delicious! I also ordered three more rolls: Titanic Golden gate ( if I remember it right) Salmon lover I especially love the Titanic !! Very mild spicy which was a right kick on my taste buds! A Must try! Sorry, don't have the pictures of the other rolls. I decided to write a comment after I finished them. read more

Great food, reasonably priced and the owners are lovely. I go here at least once a week and have never been disappointed.

I've been going to Party Sushi for years, but since the pandemic I haven't been to many restaurants. My daughter celebrated her birthday and wanted sushi. I immediately thought if Party Sushi and ordered three party trays, tempura and teriyaki. EVERYTHING was delicious and so fresh! If I could give 10 stars, I would. Thanks to Party Sushi for making the party a great success. read more

One of the very first places I tried in Berkeley and I refuse to go anywhere else. Do not let the name fool you! This place has CONSISTENTLY provided excellent food and service. The fish is ALWAYS fresh and Johnny (the chef) is so talented. I have been for both lunch and dinner and no matter how busy it is the food is always above par. I am very critical and have tried some other sushi places and they are usually overpriced and the quality just doesn't cut it. I HIGHLY recommend this place and coming from me *insert shoulder brush here* that says a lot! Favorite rolls: Super Titanic, Asami and Special Negiri Roll ( Albacore; literally MELTS in your mouth). Johnny is the best!!! read more
