Got my hubby his favorite for dinner - 2 California rolls and shrimp tempura ;) he said the rolls are like made into a burrito and he liked them both haha - good service and ambiance is super chill
Had a little difficult time finding them but a drive around the parking lot we finally found them closer to the street side than within. The lady that took our order was nice but was very soft spoken when I asked questions. It was my first visit so I had to ask what the size difference was for the fries. We ended up getting 2 medium fries regular and Osaka, and a lion king pocket sushi. Inside they are a bit small setting with mainly tall table high chairs. I was unable to sit those type of seating and their lower table was in the entrance way but had chairs that said unavailable because it was broken. It was a big full inside so we sat outside out front where a few lower seats are available. I had no clue when our order was ready but luckily after it had been awhile, new customers came and when they opened the door I heard them call my name. Food was delicious. The Osaka fries were interesting but very fishy I would say. I probably won't order it again or maybe if I was sharing it. They have fountain drinks but I didn't see a meal deal so we didn't get a drink. Tons of parking near other businesses and the 2nd Chick-fil-A on the street while the other is closer to the freeway. I will be back to try other selections of pocket sushi
A frequent craving I had lead me back to Pocket Sushi but this time I ordered the Trio. It was filled w/Lettuce, Cucumber, Shrimp Tempura, Tuna, Hamachi, Salmon, Pickled Radish, Cilantro, this was exactly what I craved. Everything fresh & ordering was fast & efficient.
I am so sad I didn't try this place sooner! We were greeted as soon as I walked in and it is very clean and well lit. We placed are order and it was ready pretty quick. I order the Lion King and fries. My son raved about their fries and he was right they are really good. Crisp, not very salty and the perfect serving size. The flavors of the Lion King caught me off guard because I was expecting it to taste like regular sushi but I was wrong it was delicious. It was definitely worth the 40 minute drive and we will be back again.
Nice little to-go sushi joint here, with sushi burritos/sandwiches. We have come here a couple times - the food has always been good and staff friendly. For me, I usually get two. This presents a challenge as one is normally not enough for me so basically lunch or dinner for me is about $25-$30. Since opening, prices have gone up over 50%. The Lion King was $8.50 and is now $13, and the PocketMon was $8.75 and is now $13.50. The PocketMon was pretty good. Shrimp and crab were tasty and plentiful. The dressing had good flavor. There was a lot of avocado- probably a bit too much. I had a large piece fall out from the bottom. The Lion King was better. I wish it was warm though as a normal Lion King sushi is baked. So it felt weird eating a cold Lion King. The salmon had good flavor and the sauce again was good. I would have given this a 4-star but it's gotten so expensive that it's cost prohibitive to visit often.
I've been wanting to try Pocket Sushi for a while since it reminded me of Sushiritto. It is located inside a plaza and there was plenty of parking which made things convenient. I ordered the Red Dragon which came with spicy tuna, shrimp tempura, unagi, avocado, crunchy teriyaki, and spicy mayo. I asked to add jalapeños and the lady helping me said it would be twenty five cents extra but they would have to be on the side. I thought that was strange since I wanted them inside, so I just skipped it. My order came out quickly, in about five minutes. The sushi pocket was good but nothing extraordinary. It tasted like a regular sushi roll but with a lot more rice, which in my opinion threw off the balance. The flavors were there but a little muted. The price felt high for what I got. It came out to sixteen dollars before tip, and at that price I would rather go to a sushi restaurant and get a traditional roll. I think what you are really paying for is the convenience and the handheld concept. Overall I am glad I got to try it, but I probably would not go back. It was a fun idea but just not worth the price for me.
Food is good, especially for the price here in the trivalley. I wish they were more flexible for substitutions, but I get it, they limit substitutions to stay efficient. Small place, so this is more of a takeout type of place.
My bf first introduced me to this and I was hooked. Now, I love that I work so close to this spot. It's such a smart idea to create this and it's so good. My favorites are lion king and mango madness. It's so fresh, saucy and packed into the rice burrito. I feel though for $13, I'd want a bigger burrito bc after one, you still want another one T_T. I recommend getting a miso soup for after, so so good! The establishment is clean and the employees are nice and helpful. There are a few tables inside and outside for those that want to eat there. Highly recommend for others to check out :)
Pocket sushi is an interesting idea. The owner was sitting an In and Out line and started thinking how he could do something "similar" for sushi. Well, they succeeded. I was impressed with their fish sourcing. From my experience, very few sushi places understand where their fish is from and how it has been handled from the time the fish left the water and served to the consumer. The owner explained the USDA/FDA process correctly. If you want traditional sushi, sashimi, or Japanese cuisine like Amakara or Stone Grill then this may not be your place. But if you want raw fish with a Japanese flair read on. Similar to some fast food hamburger places that give you the burger in a box Pocket Sushi creates a sushi roll that looks like a Mexican burrito with rice on the outside of the seaweed cover. This is an amazing feat. Think of a gigantic sushi roll that you can hold in one, or two hands, with a rice covering where the rice doesn't fall off and go everywhere. Like a hamburger, the roll is wrapped with paper that easily comes off. The roll is then placed in a nice paper box. This was easy to eat with your hand. Unlike a traditional sushi hand roll that looks like an ice cream cone, this looks more like a half-burrito with a layer of race instead of a tortilla. The burrito shape provides more space for the quality ingredients they use. If you want good quality fish quickly, give Pocket sushi a try.
Overall updated rating: 3.5 Tried Pocket Sushi again and pretty friendly, efficient service and ease of ordering was unchanged. Created a custom pocket with hamachi + shrimp tempura with avocado, masago and spicy mayo and the rest of the usual fixings. The flavors were excellent overall, along with the wasabi soy sauce for dipping. The persistent limitation is the texture of the rice which was still mushy and not flavored as much as I prefer for sushi rice.
Sushi burrito store. They're pretty fast and the ingredients are good and fresh. A bit small imo but enough to last through for a quick lunch break. Won't have the afternoon good coma. The place was very clean and workers were very nice. The offers came out super fast. There's indoor and outdoor seating. Part of a bigger parking lot.
This place is fantastic. I used to work nearby and get it occasionally for lunch. I still come by occasionally even though I don't work in the area. The services is great and quick. My pickup orders are always ready on time. I love that it has outdoor seating. The pockets are so great. My favorite is the Dragon with either Edamame or the Osaka Fries.
HOLY MOLY. I'm so happy I found this place! So yes like the name -- they specialize in pocket sushi! You can either make your own or pick out of the signature pockets. It's located in a shopping plaza so it's easy to park & find. As soon as I walked in I was greeted kindly by one of the workers! She helped answer all my questions since I wanted to try everything! Shoutout to her! I ordered a Lion King pocket with gyoza as a side. I received my order so quickly. It was absolutely delicious, flavorful, and incredibly filling. The baked salmon was perfectly cooked. I appreciated that it wasn't messy to eat or unwrap from the paper. I can't wait to come back! 10/10.
The sushi's are very fresh . I like that you can customize your pocket sushi by doing the step 1,2,3 and then choose a sauce . Or you can choose one of the signature pockets that are $10 to $14 . They have fish Dynamite for $6 and Osaka fries for $3.75 . I also enjoy the spam & egg musubi $10.50 . My favorite is Trio signature pocket for $16.25 ( lettuce , cucumber, shrimp tempura , tuna , hamachi . Salmon ... ) . They have QR code for you to order on line or you can walk in to order when looking at the digital menu . Inside seatings are modern and comfortable. You can see how the staffs make your picket sushi . There are some outdoor seats with red umbrellas for the shade . Parking is just outside the front door . It has a huge parking lots and it has empty space most of the time . read more

Came here to pick up a couple of pockets for dinner. Ordering online was simple and easy. Plenty of parking in this plaza. Right next to Chase bank. I was greeted once I walked thru the door. Let them know I was there for pick up and my order was ready earlier than expected. I had ordered two pockets. A lion king roll and a dragon roll. The pockets were a pretty good size. Fresh ingredients and enjoyed them both. Do plan to try the other rolls when in the area. read more

I love the selection here. I ordered Red Dragon, California pocket sushi and Shrimp tempura (3 pcs). They taste pretty good. The shrimp tempura is my favorite. The price of the shrimp tempura is reasonable, but the prices for the pocket sushi are a bit expensive from my perspective. Not much service here, but it's fine since this is more like a grab n go type of restaurant. I was surprised to see many people ordered to go dinner while I was there on a weekday after 5 pm. The ambiance is considered pretty nice for a grab n go restaurant. Overall, I enjoy dining here. read more

What the heck? This place is cute and good! Wife and I got 2 hot pocket rolls, which we basically inhaled. The rice portioning and ingredients inside, mainly the fish, were at a balanced ratio. The fish itself was really fresh tasting. I did not have even a slight aftertaste of fishiness like some other legit sit-down sushi restaurants.. the tempura shrimp added a nice texture change and remained crunchy throughout. Big ol' slices of avocado too! Price for the roll was 14 bucks, so not bad at all. Normal sushi rolls go for 16+ nowadays. The roll itself was a good size, definitely not enough to fill me up and take a nap but I felt satisfied with how the fish was etc. These things ain't cheap! The service from the woman at the cash register was helpful and friendly, as well as the gentleman who bagged up my food to go. Overall: For what it is, it's a cute, clean, good tasting food spot that I'd definitely come back to visit if I'm in the area. read more
One of my favorite quick food options to get in the East Bay Area! Pocket Sushi reminds me of my trips I would take all the way to the city in high school to get sushi burritos only to now have a restaurant just minutes away from where I live. I love getting the Red Dragon here because I just love my food with some crunch in it. In my opinion, it's like a 2/10 in terms of spiciness. Most of this comes from the spicy tuna as opposed to the sriracha mayo. Only con I would say is that I wish they had a website up and running to put down orders. As of right now you still have to order inside at the counter or call in for your order. I'm hoping this will be up and running soon for easier ordering convenience! read more
I dooo enjoy me some pocket sushi for lunch! I work down the street so when I'm hankering for sushi I hit up pocket sushi!! The wraps are a good size and reasonable price. When you go to a japanaese sushi restaurant the usual dragon rolls or special rolls is already $14+ easily and here at Pocket Sushi you pay around the same amount but I feel like the sushirito is more substantial. They have the usual popular types of rolls such as California, dragon, red dragon, lion king, etc.. they also have some decent appetizers options. The popcorn chicken and their special fries is tasty!! It's quick and yummy! read more

Ordered baked salmon and received raw salmon not very happy they were more concerned about cleaning up when technically they didn't close to public till another 20 mins. read more
Still come here and still love it! I seriously considered moving to Pleasanton just to be closer to Pocket Sushi. The staffs were friendly, the food came out fast and is delicious. What's more to ask for? 100/10 recommended! read more
Tried Pocket Sushi on recommendation from a friend, and had a great meal. First off, this was a Friday evening, so it was a little busy, but we were still able to get a table pretty quickly. On to the food! I'd tried a sushi style burrito in the past from a different place, and their version had a seaweed layer on the outer. Pocket Sushi has a layer of rice on the outer. Which one do I like better? I'm not sure, I like them both, lol! I ordered the Red Dragon signature, and it was yummy! The spicy tuna, avocado, and all the other ingredients were tasty and fresh. The service was great, and the ambiance was upbeat. I'd definitely try this place again. read more

This place has quickly become my go-to lunch spot! I've been here a few times now, and every visit has been consistently pleasant. The place is clean, service is quick, and the owners are super friendly and welcoming. I usually stop by during lunch and stick to their signature pockets. I have tried the Red Dragon and Trio. The portions are generous with a perfect balance of rice and filling, and the flavors are always spot on. My coworker tried the Veggie Tempura pocket and raved about how crispy and fresh the tempura was. They have options to build your own pocket, but I haven't tried that yet. Highly recommend if you're looking for a tasty, satisfying, and fast lunch option in Pleasanton. read more
Did a road trip this past weekend and got a pocket sushi to start it off. I got the trio which had salmon, tuna, and hamachi as well as shrimp tempura. It's definitely pricey when you compare the price vs the size, but sushi rolls are ~$15 these days and this is basically a giant sushi roll. I love raw fish so I really liked this one compared to the others that have more cooked fillings. I think the amount of raw fish you get is pretty decent as well. The rice was cooked well and is paired with daikon and lettuce. I didn't use the sauce that came with it because I'm not a fan of wasabi. For me, it was the perfect on-the-go food and was finished quickly. I wish there was a location closer to me! read more

We are really happy to come across this little gem. Sushi roll has exceeded our expectations. It's a nice, clean, and delicious choice for anyone who is on the go. The staff there were really nice too! The best part is the freshness of the sushi. To be honest, I have been shying away from sushi since I caught food poisoning about a year ago. But this place really blew our minds. Price is reasonable and service is really fast too. For sure we will be visiting again. It's situated in a smaller strip mall. If you are close by, please go visit. read more

A friend recommended me this restaurant to try in Pleasanton. This was rated one of the best sushi in the city. It did not disappoint. The service was very nice and welcoming. Staff were really polite and gave me many recommendations to try. The service was good and super friendly. The ambiance was really nice, the restaurant was very neat and clean right when I stepped inside. The menu they had were super simple and easy to follow. The menu was really eye pleasing, very colorful and artistic. The food was really good and the quality of the fish was good as well. I ordered the Lion King Pocket Sushi. It was one of their signature pocket sushi. It was very delicious. The food look very aesthetic and pleasing to the eyes. Overall the food was amazing and the atmosphere was great. Overall I rate this restaurant a 4/5 star review. Definitely will be back to try other signature items. If you like sushi and want something that is quick and easy to eat this is the place to be. Pocket Sushi is Asian style burrito, very good. Huge shoutout to the staff working, they were very welcoming and were patient with me and my friends of ordering our food. read more
