This is a review about the pricing and the food. Staff was nice but slightly unattentive. I'm a sashimi lover. My favorite thing to do is ask for a certain dollar amount of sashimi at the chefs choice. This place won't do it, that's fine. But the ONLY way to order sashimi here is 5 pieces for $8. I like at least 12-15 pieces over a bed of rice, like a Churashi bowl, they don't have those either. So now my sashimi is $26 after tax. Then I had to order a side of rice as well, got miso soup too because it's delicious, their miso is on point. My total came out to $30.31 Keep in mind this is not a sit down restaurant, there's no real experience to be had here with the employees other than sitting at the bar. My plate arrives (sorry I didn't take a picture) but it's literally 15 pieces all in a row on a piece of romaine, with a small stash of ginger in the corner. No wasabi, no lemon, no creativity in the plating. My plate had Salmon, tuna, yellow tail, and albacore. The salmon was pretty fresh. The tuna almost looked like white fish, it had almost completely lost it's color and had no flavor at all. The yellowtail was extremely flaky and hardly stayed together trying to pick it up, also slightly brown. Albacore was good too. None of the fish was cold, almost room temperature. I wouldn't recommend eating here if you have a strong love for sashimi. It's entirely too expensive for what you receive and amateur. Most good sushi restaurants will give you a 15 piece beautifully decorated plate for $17-20. read more

This is the worst place we've ever experienced for AYCE sushi. They had the "rules" placed on the table. You can only order 3 items at a time, you have to eat everything on your first round before they'll even take your 2nd round order. Our first server who was very nice took our order BUT then we had another server who came over and said that the first server was new and took our order wrong because he allowed us to order more than we were "allowed" to. We thought of her as a "sushi hall monitor". She felt to the point of being condescending. She said she didn't want to "cut us off". We should have left and found a different place to eat but we were from out of town and had to be somewhere by a certain time and didn want to spend time looking for another place but come to think of it we did pass a Friday's on the way! Another issue was disposable containers for miso soup and plastic spoons??!!! Plates used were very cheap. One of baked items came in a tin disposable bowl? Please invest invest in nicer dinnerware! Food took forever as we only saw 1 cook preparing the food. We felt bad for the new server as he was sent to the back and never saw him again. :-( Never returning!!!!! We should have known something was wrong when we called to ask pricing and if there was a wait, told us no wait. No wait on a Saturday night???!!!! Hmmmmm must be a reason you don't have customers. read more

This is my family's go to place for sushi. There is space to dine-in, it's modern, casual and clean although we usually pick it up and take it home. We love their sushi its consistently good, good service, great place. read more

Every time we go to Sashimi Express, they have the nicest customer service. They greet you with a smile and are patient while we order. Their sushi is very fresh and I have never been disappointed in anything on their menu. They take their time and the quality shows. read more

Very average with regard to both food quality and value. The staff is friendly and credited my account quickly, but they failed to include calamari salad with my order. Overall I'm not inspired to return. read more

Ordered online a few weeks ago and got their vegetarian rolls. They were absolutely amazing! Definitely going to order again soon from here.

I tried this place tonight for the first time and it was really really good! I might get it again tomorrow night! My favorite was their hand rolls. The fish seemed very fresh and the price was just right. Well-done! read more

I loved the original store, so I was very excited to hear about the new location opening up that is closer to my house! The fantasy roll is my go to pick every time I dine. I also tried a new roll, the pearl dragon, which was also very delicious. The staff is always really friendly and I enjoy the fast casual atmosphere. It hits the spot :) read more

Awesome mom and pop sushi restaurant. They have two places. Staff is cool and welcoming, especially August from behind the counter . Love how simple they make the dishes but still so good. I usually tell them what I like and they always have good recommendations or they adjust my rolls to fit it. read more

Sashimi express brings a little bit of La/Sf feel to it. You don't really have a feel to order or talk to your chef but it's a place where to come with a group just to order and hangout when your ready you can go straight in line to order (that's how you order here, you get in line) PRICES are great, SEATING plenty of room for groups of 10, 8, 6, etc. FOOD. Pretty decent but the wait was longer then I expected. I recommend you try it at least once read more

Wow, Sashimi Express has the flavors down! Pleasantly surprised with my Bento box. The calamari melted in my mouth, salmon was good, miso soup was nice and hot. Friendly atmosphere, big screen TVs and good music playing. Food came out quick! I really enjoyed the Spicy Boat sushi. Hope you don't pass this place, stop and try, you won't be let down. It's the old Wassabi! Oh, it's clean in here too!!! read more

Tried this place for the first time and will def be back! It's a quick serve place, you place your order at the counter and they call out your name when your food is ready. Simple and clean decor. My friend got the bento box and it looked yummy. I got a combo plate with a 9 pc roll and 4 pc nigiri for only 15 bucks and it was super good! Also the service was quick so if you're in a rush no worries. Yunmy food, good prices, and right on willow and nees. read more

Best sushi in all of Fresno, best prices, best quality fish and the best service. Go in a few times and you will get to know Sammy the owner. I accidentally found it while trying to make a sushi order online and was amazed. I was born and raised in SF and the surrounding Bay Area and Sashimi Express is just as good as some of the top sushi restaurants there. read more

Rude workers and rude manager. My husband was the first customer to come in and I guess the worker was upset she had to work and gave horrible customer service , she did not repeat the order and gave us the wrong rolls. When we called we talked to a manager and he did not help at all , he tried to blame me for looking at a wrong menu and ordering something they did not have at the location however , the women should've told my husband they did not have it before he even ordered it, and his way of fixing things was having us go out of our way and go back to the restaurant to replace the rolls? We don't even live close so you're going to have us drive far just to fix your mistake? read more

This is my second day coming here and to be honest their teriyaki bowl is better than Hino Ohishi and Wasabi On Fire. Portion wise they can maybe give a little more because you're spending $8 to $9 alone for a small teriyaki bowl. I had the following: Chicken teriyaki bowl 4/5 the rice and chicken cooked perfectly and just the right amount of the teriyaki sauce. I wish they would give more bachoy or a free soup or salad. Beef teriyaki bowl 4/5 the meat is not chewy like Wasabi. Drinks 4/5 free refills on drinks. Fantasy roll 4/5 not bad JK (Japanese Kitchen) should take notes from eating here. Ruby delight roll 4/5 nice touch and you can tell the Tuna is super fresh it has a nice red color. Service 4/5 the owner seemed nice and friendly. This place could have gotten a 5 stars rating but some of my favorite items weren't on the menu like the Hamachi Kama. Also you have to get your own drink refilled because there's no server if you dine in. I only wish for $8 to $9 for a small teriyaki bowl should include a soup or salad. Sashimi Express uses good quality ingredients and service was friendly and fast that's why it was my second time this week eating there. read more

Just brought home a few rolls from Sashimi Express with a friend! The Red Dragon Roll was delicious, but I didn't really care for the Sapporo Roll.. I expected prices to be a dollar or 2 cheaper because it's not a dine-in place (there is a table and a little counter area to eat-in, though). To make any roll a "combo" for $2 to get Miso soup and a drink however, is a good deal! Both people working there were very friendly and personable. ONE THING- the Yelp map is wrong, as always! Sashimi Express is in the Willow and Nees shopping center, by Trader Joe's. Next time, I wouldn't mind ordering a roll and eating at the conveniently located Starbuck's patio right next door. read more

This place is takeout style with an option to eat in. We were looking for sushi at 3pm on a Saturday and most places were in between lunch and dinner so they were closed. This was open and I had it bookmarked to try so we went! The staff was very patient and friendly as we checked out the menu. They had a nice waiting area with a couch and a coffee table as we discussed our game plan. We decided on 4 rolls with an order of edamame to start. The have real crab which I LOVED. I ordered the Fantasy roll with real crab instead of imitation. The flavors were really simple and fresh and the pieces were bite-sized as they should be. Too many places today make rolls too big that require two bites and fall apart, and have so many competing flavors in them that just don't blend together well. Or they top it off with an overpowering spicy sauce and that's all you taste. This place is more Japanese-style in my book than most (rolled sushi other than a cucumber or Natto roll was invented in California people). We will be back. read more

Such great tasting sushi better than I had thought with a name "Express" you just never know do you? Awesome food at great prices. We will be back often! read more

Astonishingly good quality sushi in Clovis. The fish is fresh, service is fast and friendly, and prices are reasonable. I always opt for the Combo A; sunshine roll or rainbow roll with 4-piece nigiri. Be aware that this is not a full service restaurant. You order at the counter and take your food to a table. Interior is modern and clean. Parking is plentiful in the front. For exactly what it is, this concept is executed very well. read more

Sushi is good to earn my repeat business. I think the cost is on the high side. My kids love the rainbow roll. Ramen isn't bad.

Sashimi Express is a great place to satisfy your sushi craving when you don't have a lot of time. At 12:30pm, they weren't busy at all either, which is kind of sad because their food is really tasty. I got the Caterpillar Roll, which is unagi (eel) with cucumber, topped with avocado slices. You get 9 pieces for $8.95, which is a decent price for the quality. I've been to places where they charge over $12 and it wasn't as good as this. I ate the entire roll, and slurped up my side of miso soup. I'm really picky about the taste of miso soup, but Sashimi Express' is delicious. The quality of the food is great, the staff are very friendly, and your order comes out quick. What more could you ask for? Try it once and you'll definitely keep coming back for more. Like Nick A. mentioned, the Google map for this place is wrong, wrong, wrong. It's actually in the Willow and Nees shopping center in the parking lot nearest the Taco Bell/Blockbuster. It's very small and nondescript, but its there! read more

I was very disappointed with my sushi tray order. I bought and paid for a party sushi tray two days prior to the pick up date. When my husband went to pick it up, no one knew of the order. Finally, one of the chef confirmed that there was indeed an order but, they didn't make it. If we didn't need this for my daughter's birthday party we would have asked for a refund. We had to come back and pick up the order about 30 minutes later. We were on a time crunch with the party venue so guest ate before the sushi arrived. Also, you could tell the chef rushed through the order because the pieces easily fell apart. Very disappointed and the staff was unapologetic. read more

I just bought an bento box and in it I order 4 crab shumai. Which was sour like the crab in it was expired. I couldn't eat the rest of the food,Now I have food poisoning and that the hospital. I need my money back? read more

Well this place is not bad but lacks things like more choices of actual Sashimi. They only have one option for a 9 pc Sashimi on the menu and you can only choose from 3 types of fish. The rolls are pretty good size and they don't give you a lot of rice packed into the roll, which is a good thing. You have your choice of white or brown rice in any of the dishes. Extremely limited seating TIP: Get you drink over at Taco Bell as this place has a very limited about of drinks and no fountain drinks. read more

According to Yelp, this is the highest rated sushi place in Fresno. What could go wrong? Well, I called to order some stuff and 10 specialty rolls including Caterpillar, Green Dragon, Fantasy, and Red Dragon. Spent over $100 in all. When I picked up my sushi and saw what I got, it was instant disappointment. They didn't give me much in terms of fish and the rolls itself were pretty small. You would have to combine at least two pieces to equal one from a sushi restaurant. It was a $100 mistake and lesson for me to learn from. I look for value and taste, so in my opinion it did not make the cut. The fish were almost paper thin and they were skimpy on the ingredients. Tell me guys, what is up with the rating? read more

We finally got a chance to order from this place - it's quite close to our house in Clovis. We were highly disappointed with the quality. I love sashimi - after taking a bite of the yellow tail - I had to spit it out. I am not sure if it was old or just too warm - but I could not eat anymore. The salmon hand rolls were very average - quite small in size too. A bit disappointing. read more

I've driven by this place a thousand times, but never knew how amazing the inside really was ! Very cute and clean, and the food was incredible! I had the teriyaki Bento dinner, and everything was just perfect. It's my new go to for a quick meal! read more

Good place. I love the options for the bento box. And i love the idea of having the option for dine in or to go. The food was good, and the price is very reasonable! The service was also good. The staff are very friendly. I think they have a great number of selections to choose from. I would definitely come back to this place! Ive had their Sashimi with only salmon it twice, both in different days.....i feel that the quality of their fish is consistently good and consistent in texture.. The fish almost melt in my mouth. I think the quality of their salmon is surprisingly really good! Im not sure if its the same with other fish, bcuz I only ordered salmon fish for Sashimi read more

This place is WONDERFUL! Probably the least expensive sushi I've ever encountered, and the quality is definitely up there as far as fast-food sushi is concerned. The employees are super friendly, and as my neat-freak hubby loves to point out, "they're always cleaning something!" Makes you feel like your raw fish experience is certain to be void of salmonella. ;] (Seriously, though, the place is spotless, which is a great trait for a sushi place in my opinion!) Sushi quality is probably 4 stars, and they don't sell any "crunchy" rolls (sad...), but really for the price and speed, it's about as good as it gets -- hence the 5 star review. Our personal favorites include the Caterpillar roll, Spicy Salmon hand roll, and the Rainbow combo (Rainbow roll + Shrimp Inari -- probably the best bang for your buck on the menu). So if the craving hits and you need somewhere you can find affordable, quality sushi, this place will hit the spot every time. Just buy your own tempura crumbs and add them at home. ;] read more

WTF happened here in the last ten months? Prices went up, quality went down. What used to cost in the $12-$15 range is now a solid $20. Their plates are now plain white paper instead of the decorated plastic. They definitely changed their wasabi, as it now looks like Play-doh and has chunks of something in it (ginger? onion? I don't know what it is, I only know it shouldn't be there). I just ate the least-exciting unagi I have ever had, and it was in this restaurant years ago where I first tasted, and fell in love with, the joys of BBQ eel. I tried the Spicy Battleship and I am highly disappointed: very bland and not the least bit spicy. Even my old favorite, the Spicy Shrimp Inari, while still wrapped in that sweet pocket, is now getting shorted on the sauce and therefore the balance in flavors. At least the rice is still good, and I'll give a second star for personal nostalgia, but RIP what used to be a delightful little corner of fast Japanese-style food. read more

This place is fantastic. This has become my go-to sushi place over the past few months and I don't think that will be changing any time soon. I will admit that I have always been a little skeptical of Fast Sushi because it reminds me of the "Sushi" that can be found in grocery stores. Please do yourself a favor and remove all preconceived notions about sushi to go and get a few items from this place. You will not be disappointed. What is has: Great rolls, real crab that isn't overly cut with mayo, clean and neat packaging, friendly service, brown rice if preferred, good prices. What it doesn't have: Sake Bombs, Overpriced Japanese Beer, Loud patrons ruining your sushi eating experience, slow service. On multiple occasions I have placed my order and left to pick up a bottle of wine at Trader Joe's. My order is always ready to go when I get back in the store. Sashimi Express and a bottle of wine is always an excellent evening. read more

Okay I must say that this sushi place is my new OBSESSION. If you are on the lookout for quick service and delicious rolls this will be your new go to! The workers are also extremely sweet too & didn't even seem to be annoyed with my countless questions about the place and all of its updates. It used to be a take out only sushi express, but they took down a wall from a place next door and now it's both take out and sit down. The interior is very cute! And let's talk about the rolls... OH I could go on for hours about how much I love their rolls. My favorite is the Fantasy Roll. I love this place so much I would pick it over any other sushi place in Fresno. 6 stars!! read more

For 4.5 stars I was pretty disappointed and it is definitely NOT the best place in town. It does NOT deserve a 4.5 rating compared to the others on yelp. Don't be deceived. I knew it would have take-out but not that it was a completely take-out restaurant. The sushi was just ok. It really wasn't anything special, no special sauces, no exceptional rolls or presentation.... There were also lots of bugs on the window near us. It's a little overpriced for the environment. Dining was reduced to plastic silverware and cardboard paper plates, and weird plastic garnishes. Music is also too loud. They also forgot one of my rolls and had to remind them to bring it out. The shrimp tempura seemed like it was not made fresh. If you get anything, I recommend the small, but tasty spicy battle ship roll....they only come in 3 pc orders though. My husband and I were hoping for a nice Valentine's Day lunch....but were pretty let down. :-/ read more

Thank you yelpers for directing me to this wonderful little place. My new favorite to go sushi restaurant, that quite possibly has my favorite roll ever. I've been having constant cravings since my boyfriend and I tried them a couple weeks ago. Now it's true they are "Fast Food" Sushi and that can mean some scary rolls stuffed with unknown products of the sea. But at Sushimi express that means sushi done fast right in front of you with good quality ingredients. My fantasy: crispy tempura shrimp, cucumber, avocado, and crab rolled in a thin slice of dark green seaweed and sushi rice topped with alternating strips of shrimp and fresh sliced avocado drizzled with unagi sauce. The reality, order a Fantasy Roll with shrimp instead of unagi. The people here are so nice they really aim to please the customer. Substitutions are no problem so feel free to ask to have your roll made the way that makes your fantasy come true. My boyfriend had the nigri plate and was able to order exactly to types of fish that he liked. It was funny because had forgot to substitute out the salmon but the chef over him saying how he didn't like salmon but would always eat it anyways. So the chef switched the normal salmon nigri for a shrimp which my boyfriend said was his favorite. The prices are really reasonable here. No roll is over $10 and the box with a Fantasy roll and four pieces of nigri is only about $14. For an extra two dollars you can get a large bowl of Miso and a bottled drink with any of your rolls. The Spring rolls are really good here and a deal for a little over $5. 2 rolls cut in half stuffed full of fresh carrots, lettuce, cucumbers, avocado, and a slice of shrimp in each half. And the sauce that comes with them is absolutely yummy, tangy and sweet with a bit of a kick to it. This is a wonderful place to come if you want to have some sushi at home, don't want to spend a ton of money or just want some good food. If your looking for the raw exotic fish or some warm Saki this isn't the place (FYI: there is a good one of those close by). Come and support this local shop and have a roll that will satisfy your craving without putting a huge dent in your wallet. read more

FINALLY they've reopened!!!!! The food/prices haven't changed, but the dining experience is waaay better. They now have a legit dining area with bathrooms!

Sashimi Express - New dining area is quite swanky! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Clovis, California

This place is yummy in my tummy! I always knew the food was good, but no place to sit was a turn off. The inside is now awesomeness! A very Southern California Japanese restaurant feel. We ordered a beef bowl, 2 pork ramen, chicken bowl, and Musubi with teriyaki spam. The Ramen is awesome, it's in a Miso broth, I haven't had this kind of Ramen in a long time. Very tasty, and the pork was super soft and tasty. The beef and chicken bowls were above good. A lot of food for the price, 7 should have split it with my daughter. The spam Musubi was really good. I'm use to the Musubi being cut into blocks. Here it's in a roll. To say the least I'll definitely becoming back here. For dinner and lunch! A hot bowl of Ramen would be good on these cold days! Great job Sashimi Express!!! read more

I looked at yelp for good sushi. I was surprised to find Sashimi express. I had never heard of it; we usually don't go out of town for dinner. This place had some really good reviews and the pictures made it really appetizing. I have to agree this was she was very good. But the service and the presentation is not impressive. Really this place is more like a fast food joint or like a catering place. We usually go to Wasabi or Edoya. So we were a bit disappointed when he had to grab our own utensils and ended up eating at of disposable plates and plastic forks. The whole experience reminded me of fast food. read more
