All you can eat for $40 !!! 5 nigiri's per person, we tried the salmon, tuna, shrimp, and albacore. All were delicious but my favorite was the albacore the waitress was nice and attentive. Sake was $6. We tried the different rolls and a hand roll. Definitely try the Washington roll! It was seared and so delicious even if you don't do the all you can eat, the prices are cheaper than your usual. Will be coming back again read more

Enjoyed my uber eats order from here! The fish was very fresh and seemed good quality. I had a chirashi bowl and seaweed salad. The chirashi bowl was very good, although a bit pricey at $40+. The seaweed salad was pretty good as well. I'd order again but more as a splurge read more

I have only ever done takeout for their specialty Maki rolls so I can only speak to that - But I really enjoy RK Sushi! It's definitely a go-to for me for takeout in the Hillcrest/Mission Hills area. I particularly enjoy the Marissa Roll and Crunch Roll (basic, I know). They have other fun speciality rolls that I've enjoyed as well but always seem to come back to these two. I typically order through their website for pickup and it's usually quick even on weekends. Standard sushi restaurant prices - Not too low, not too high. Parking is easy in a lot out front. read more

We came here for all-you-can-eat sushi and left feeling uncomfortable, disappointed, and honestly super creeped out. We usually get our money's worth by loading up on nigiri, so we placed our nigiri order first. The quality was mid, way too much rice compared to the fish. When we tried to order more, we were told we could only have five pieces total for the whole table. Imagine our shock If that's a rule, it should be made very clear upfront because we never would've come here if we knew. Since we weren't allowed more nigiri, we moved on to rolls which was a huge mistake. They were overloaded with imitation crab. We could barely get through them without gagging. Things got super weird when we asked for the check and still had half the roll left. The manager told us we could not get the check until we finished everything. SERIOUSLY. She stood there and watched us and made the whole thing feel weirdly tense. I've never been stared down while forcing myself to eat some nasty rolls. It was highkey disturbing and definitely a first. If you want decent all-you-can-eat sushi without the side of intimidation, do yourself a favor and go literally anywhere else. read more

Walked in on a Saturday night and was able to get a spot! The servers were super friendly and it was cool because you can order from the computer right away. Love the efficiency. The fish was super fresh and there was a nice variety of rolls! We ordered 3 different rolls, 2 hand rolls, beer + sake (there was a special) and this was the perfect amount 2 people! Second time at this spot and would go back again! We enjoyed it! Super relaxed spot! read more

RK Sushi - Salmon, eel, yellowtail rolls (order from left to right) - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

My husband and I ordered takeout sushi on a Friday evening and were absolutely delighted with the presentation and freshness of our meal. We tried the jalapeño bombs, the Abel roll, and the Playboy roll, all of which were exceptional. The crunchy tempura on top of the Playboy roll complemented the creamy avocado, spicy krab, jalapeño, and sriracha sauce beautifully. The Abel roll featured spicy tuna, yellowtail, ponzu, sriracha, as well lemon slices. The fish to rice ratio was perfect, and we appreciated the clear containers that showcased the sushi. The jalapeño bombs were generously filled with tuna, krab, and cream cheese, creating a perfect bite. RK Sushi truly knows how to impress. We will definitely be back! read more

The service was good. The food was not good. The shrimp shumai was like cat food. The eel nigiri was cold and basically just the skin. I definitely won't be back. There are so many good sushi places in San Diego. The place is clean but the quality of their food isn't to my standards. read more

I'll give this place 2 stars because I don't want to be that mean but it's not all you can eat, unless you come with 2 or more... I took an uber to get here, not from here. Just annoyed.. in any case down the street there's another sushi spot read more

All you can eat is only a select menu that excludes everything might as well take the all you can eat away. All you can eat California rolls! read more

What happened to the original family that owned RK Sushi? Anyone know? The young woman (allegedly a daughter) who had different colored hair everytime I went and she was so personable? So I pay my rent in Mission Hills once a month and I take the opportunity to order from what USE to be my favorite sushi restaurant. I live in La Mesa so this is a treat for me. Tonight on my way home I was thinking I'm going to treat myself to RK takeout. I ordered 3 Vitamin C rolls (my absolute FAVORITE), miso soup, garlic edamame and a house salad that came to $61.09. First, I asked where the tip jar was and this loud ass male voice yelled from the sushi bar, "ITS OVER HERE". Whatever, I just wanted to order. Guys, this place is no longer owned by the same family. I've never been so dissatisfied and disappointed by anything from this restaurant until today. THE PORTIONS are no longer the same. My miso was a literal CUP...the salad is half the amount, the garlic edamame...where's the sauce? The sides matter! The sushi, I like mine cold and they put my miso soup with my sushi(please keep in mind I'm driving to La Mesa). Prepare yourself...it has CHANGED and not for the good. There's no chairs in front of the sushi bar so there's no interaction there. They got rid of the menus and replaced them with tablets so there's barely any interaction there. Makes me really sad. I know things have got to change to match the times but this is not it. Use to be my favorite but I guess I'm sticking to Narumi Sushi in East County. Thanks for the memories RK and the young lady who always smiled, was very friendly and had different colored hair everytime I saw her. read more

We are always down for sushi anywhere so is my first time having all you can eat sushi I think we got it for $40 a person during one of their happy hours and we were stuffed. It seems like they pack on the rice a little bit, but even still, the quality of all of the options is great, I would highly recommend all of it is so filling! read more

Stopper by my favorite spot for an early dinner. I'm just never disappointed when I come here. Everyone is always so nice, the food is always SO good & I try to go as early as I can because they do get super busy & sometimes hard to get a table. Which is great for them! We love a busy restaurant. My three musts are the protein roll, samurai roll, & salmon sashimi. My go to spot!!! read more

This is a well kept secret in Mission Hills. The food here is excellent as is the service. June the owner is a sweetheart and all about providing exceptional and friendly customer service. They have a special when purchasing a large beer in that you will receive a hot sake for a penny. And it's decent sake. Not the junk you usually get on happy hour from those other guys. This is a great spot for lunch if you're in the area. and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for high quality sushi at an affordable price. read more

Came here with my family for the first time. It's a small restaurant but everything was very good. Life that they have their own parking lot, in that area it can be tricky to find parking.

I wish I had a photo to post however whenever I go which is every Friday afternoon I eat so fast I forget. Food is always delish. Lunch special bento for 10.99 is a steal!!!

All the great reviews led me here and they were not wrong. It's a fairly small space, but I was there for a late lunch, so we had our pick of tables. I always like to start off with a flavored edamame and the spicy garlic version was perfect. We shared the shrimp tempura roll and the nibu roll as well as salmon nigiri. Everything was flavorful and fresh, but they could have a better selection of sake. read more

I've been coming here for years, good quality sushi at a reasonable price in the middle of Hillcrest. Sounds too good to be true? It's not! I always get the Sexy Roll and one of the salmon hand rolls. The menu is huge so it's fun to try a few other things too each time. If you're into see if they have a wonton soup that is outstanding. It's a small little place that is always impeccably clean. Very busy on the evenings and weekends. The service here as always, fast and friendly as well. read more

I waited a long time to try this place. The wait was soo worth it! Came here on a Wednesday afternoon for lunch. It wasn't busy at all. The employees were extremely friendly the moment we walked in the restaurant. The selection of rolls and items on the menu here is superb. We ordered; the Washington roll, orange crush roll (our favorite, it has spicy scallop but wasn't spicy at all), bbq beef bento box (the beef is like bulgogi, not too sweet but flavorful), my dad also ordered the seafood udon. He said it was good! I don't think you can beat the prices here as well. All this food cost us less than $140 (for 4 people, but good quality sushi.) The service also makes us want to come back. As a true foodie, I recommend this restaurant. 10 out of 10!!! read more

I wandered in after the grocery store next door didn't have any appetizing lunch items available. I ordered the dragon roll and a roll w spicy tuna topped w jalapeños (forgot the name of the roll) and edamame. The rolls were presented in the shape of a canoe, complete with wasabi, ginger, seaweed salad and cucumbers. Great presentation! The rolls were on the large side and delicious. The server was friendly and took time to help me w/ their digital ordering system and pointed out RK's sushi's most popular rolls. I will definitely be back! read more

Ate at this restaurant for the first time on a Saturday night. We walked in and waited only about 10 mins for a table. I enjoyed the sushi rolls. This place has a causal vibe - you order on a tablet, water is served in paper cups. It was pretty good! read more

This was my second time coming here - after how delicious everything was the first time I just had to come back to get my sushi fix! The service was impeccable - our server was very nice and attentive, and I believe it was the chef who presented our sushi platter to us. My husband and I came here at around 7 on a Friday, and surprisingly there was no wait which I was excited about because the first time the line was out the door. Here's what we ordered: El Fuego Roll - love the slight spice of the jalapeño on this Vitamin C Roll - my favorite Washington Roll (seared) - my husbands favorite Tobiko Rainbow Roll - rainbow roll but elevated Spicy Garlic Edamame - so flavorful Miso Soup - the best miso soup I've had Salmon Sashimi - melts in your mouth Fresh wasabi on the side read more

My daughter has been encouraging me to go to this restaurant for weeks. I finally went and I was so blown away. It was so easy to order everything from your table with a digital menu. I have been to a lot of Sushi restaurants but what I loved was their attention to details. Everything came out looking beautiful. And the taste has me wanting more. A must try San Diego read more

As you can see in my reviews there are very few times that I've given an establishment one star. I don't know why, but I decided to try this place and when I walked in, it did not smell very good. The restaurant was empty except for one couple eating, which was not a good indication during lunchtime. I asked to be seated at a table and the owner told me that I didn't get to choose where I get to sit, they choose where I get to sit and they wanted to sit next to the door, which I did not want to sit there because there was a big breeze coming in every time someone walked in. I asked if I could please set another table and he said no. I don't understand this mentality. The place was empty and there's nobody else waiting to be seated and all the tables were available. He was very rude to me and had a very ugly attitude so I decided to leave read more

Solid high energy sushi spot! We enjoyed the nigiri, Abel roll and Pink roll. Service was really fast and our waiter was very friendly and helpful.

We came to this place on a whim because the other sushi restaurants had hour long wait times and we're very glad we did! 1. Service was great, very friendly and attentive. 2. The bento box is massive, a full roll, loaded with katsu chicken. 3. The rolls were also very good and fresh, not too much rice and they stuff the inside with the filling. They have a small parking lot, so parking wasn't much of an issue. Will definitely be coming back. read more

RK Sushi delivered my worst dining experience in San Diego, especially for sushi, and I've been here for 20 years. My partner and I were running errands and decided to stop for sushi, opting for RK Sushi since it was nearby. We arrived around 2 PM and used their touchpad system to order garlic edamame, nigiri (masago, albacore, toro), and a couple of hand rolls. While most of the food was mediocre, the toro nigiri was especially disappointing. My partner took a bite before I could warn her, only to find it chewy and rubbery. I tried it and ended up spitting it out--by far the worst toro I've ever had. When I mentioned it to the server, she said it might've been the cut. I didn't ask for compensation, just wanted them to know. Later, she returned with a small $3.49 "discount" on the $13.95 toro, which felt more insulting than helpful. After paying and tipping, I went back in to clarify that I hadn't wanted the discount. As a former restaurateur, I was baffled by the lack of concern from the chef/owner, who was on-site. We typically go for sushi at places like Hane, Azuki, or Harmony on Convoy, which I recommend. While RK Sushi is casual, there's no excuse for the poor fish quality and handling of customer concerns. I'd avoid this place at all costs; I wouldn't return even if it were free. San Diegans deserve better--quality fish, trained staff, and real attention to the dining experience. Disappointing overall. read more

It's been years so an updated review is in order. I always forget about this place, but when someone brings it up as a place to eat, my answer is always YES! The service is relaxed and welcoming. The food comes out as it's ready and at a speedy pace. Don't let the small tables fool you. We managed to fit three plates of sushi rolls, edamame, a bento box, and an extra miso soup plus water cups. Sushi is always an eyes is bigger than the stomach situation, but you just roll with it (ba-dum-bump). Anyway, I really enjoy the crispy rice/spicy tuna appetizer and really haven't had a roll I didn't like. Be careful coming into/going out of the driveways to the parking lot since it can get tight. Or, do you what I do and go during mid-afternoon when it's likely to be less busy. read more

My friend is a regular here and recommended this place, and it did not disappoint! My bf and I ordered the pink roll, spicy salmon roll, RK crispy roll and try this roll. Our friends got the takoyaki, fried rice, langostino lobster beach roll, mission roll and fire cracker roll. Everything was really fresh and delicious. The RK crispy roll was hot, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I love that they gave us sliced lemons as garnish - it tasted so yummy when eaten with the spicy salmon roll. Sliced cucumber garnish was also refreshing and seasoned well. Presentation was stunning. Service was really good; they kept checking on us and offering water refills. Servers were super nice. TLDR; this restaurant has affordable and good quality sushi. We got 4 rolls for under $40. Would recommend to anyone looking for good sushi at an even better price! read more

I don't go out for sushi much, especially since I have been trying to find a reasonable sushi spot in San Diego since Sushi Diner closed. The menu at RK sushi seemed to be pretty extensive with a lot of options, so my boyfriend and I decided to do takeout here. Our takeout order probably took about 15-20 minutes, and once we arrived, they had the order ready to go. My usual order at any sushi place always includes a hamachi nigiri, and here I tried their garlic mania roll which had hamachi, asparagus, and fried garlic on top along with their unagi roll. My boyfriend got a couple vegetarian rolls which he really liked, and we shared some garlic edamame. The size of the rolls here are good for the price. I do appreciate how they separate the rolls into their own containers which made it easy to eat right away (even though it seemed like a waste of plastic). I would recommend paying with cash here if you can (unsure if they give that option when doing takeout); I think when we paid online, there was a 3% surcharge attached to it which is kind of a bummer. I definitely would be back to try more rolls and dishes. Maybe we'll try to dine-in next time. They have their own parking lot, and the restaurant space looked very clean. read more

The entire place has changed. Must not be owned by the same family. All new employees. They now use paper cups for water and plastic bowls for the sauces. We had to ask for a plate. They switched out their chairs for folding chairs and the electronic menu is awful. Even The fountain soda is gone now it's a bottle of Diet Coke in a plastic cup. The dumplings were luke warm. The portions have gotten super small. The soup was barely a cup. used to be my go to spot. Everyone used to say hi when you walked in. They knew me. Not the same. Very disappointing. read more

Stopped by the other day right after opening. I noticed they had a new server. She was nice and friendly. The marissa roll is our favorite. It's not too heavy and is always fresh. The miso soup is super flavorful, we added a little bit of sirarcha for some heat. Yellowtail nigiri - fresh & light. Definitely one of the best sushi places in San Diego! read more
