I really wanted to like this place. I really did. First off, the restaurant itself looks great. It has a modern, trendy vibe and feels like the kind of place you'd want to hang out with friends for a casual lunch or dinner. But the first bad sign was how empty it was. The selection was surprisingly wide too. There were a lot of interesting choices, and I actually liked the concept. I've been to plenty of conveyor belt sushi spots where you grab whatever catches your eye, but this was different. Instead of a conveyor, you walk the display and someone serves you each individual piece. It's definitely unique. That said, paying around $2.50 for a single piece of a sushi roll felt a little steep. Presentation wasn't the issue. Everything looked fresh and colorful behind the glass. Unfortunately, the taste didn't quite match the appearance. The biggest problem was the freshness and texture. Since everything is sitting out, it reminded me a lot of supermarket sushi that's been refrigerated for a while. The rice had hardened, the fish was somehow both dry and a little mushy, and the beef was served cold. The katsu was probably my favorite bite of the meal because it still had some texture, but even that leaned a little too salty. Service was fine. Everyone was friendly, but there wasn't much interaction beyond handing over the pieces you selected. Overall, I'm glad I gave it a try because I enjoy checking out new sushi spots, but I don't see myself coming back. The concept is interesting, but for me it felt like the complete opposite of an omakase experience. Instead of sushi being prepared fresh and served at its peak, it felt like convenience came at the expense of freshness and flavor. Instagrammable for sure. But I left hungry and bit disappointed

I love it! As a person who's often very indecisive about which rolls to get or what to try, this is great. You don't have to commit to a whole roll but instead by piece. Also it's right in front of you, so you can definitely see what you're choosing. I got a bit of everything just to try. Everything was delicious. Even with the rolls being coldish. To my surprise, my favorite was the gochujang beef tofu skin thing. It was so good and flavorful. My next favorite was the lobster one. I do believe they change the menu every week. I hope they keep those two. My least favorites had to be the musubis the katsu one was good but it definitely needs sauce. The chicken was on the drier side but decent. The spam/beef musubi was again, good but I felt like the flavor of the beef and spam were fighting each other. It didn't really compliment one another. Overall I loved the experience, the food was delicious. I'd definitely come back again--even if it's out of my way.

Went there for lunch. It is a walk up counter. The Sushi is sold by the piece ($1.55 - $5.45.). You tell the staff which rolls and how many you want and they put them on a tray for you. We got 18 pieces for a total of $48.20 + 4.32=$52.42 w/Tax. There were 2 rolls I really liked. Unfortunately, I don't remember their names! Jayla was very friendly and patient (waiting for us to decide) and the place was clean. Although I like the concept, I don't think I'll return since I can't remember the two rolls I actually liked. The rest of the rolls were just okay. I only took a picture of my tray and not the other two. See receipt picture for full list.

I had seen Sushi Box all over social media and was excited to try it. I really like the concept of ordering sushi by the piece so you can pick exactly what you want. The only downside for me was the pricing. I was honestly surprised at how expensive it was. One plate with eight pieces of sushi was about $20, and my second plate with 10 pieces of sushi was around $25. In my opinion, that's pretty pricey. I feel like you could go to a Japanese restaurant and get full sushi rolls for less. On the plus side, the sushi is already made, so it's super convenient if you're hungry and want something quick. The staff was also really nice and helpful. Overall, I think it's a cool concept, but I probably won't be back just because of the prices.

I am definitely a sushi lover! When I found out about this place, I knew I had to give it a try. From the beginning, the price tag always gave me a little bit of a scare. So I tried it by myself rather than with my family at five. I loved the array of options. The service was wonderful and helpful. The restaurant was clean and tidy. I felt like the quality of the food was exceptional and every bite I had was delicious. Overall, I love the concept, and the idea that I get to try different options. But it's not really a consistent option, considering the price.

Your bubble girl reviewer (peanut, tree nut, and seafood allergy) did not have an allergic reaction here. I did have to ask them to use different tongs to pick up my sushi, but they complied! If you have allergies, always ask staff. You go up to order individual pieces of sushi and then bring everything back to your table, the staff was very pleasant and helpful! They helped be make sure everything I ordered I was able to eat. Definitely gave me the disclaimer that there is a possibility of cross contamination with seafood, but watching them roll on the counter behind the register, I didn't feel too concerned. It looked clean. There was actually a lot for me to choose from, as somebody with severe seafood allergies. Many vegan and vegetarian options as well too. I got the pieces of musubi supreme, chicken katsu musubi, tofu veggie roll, and truffle maki. They were all very tasty. I think my favorite was either the truffle maki or katsu musubi if I had to pick, but to be honest they were all really good. The spam musubi also had pork!! Never seen that combo before and it was really good. They were really fast about getting rolls out once they were out, I took the last of the katsu musubi and they had one back out pretty quickly after. Great sushi experience, I will definitely be back soon!!

We tried this place for the first time today. The decor is very modern, clean and nice. It's definitely a millenial/gen Z concept. You go in and pick from a variety of pre made pieces of sushi. You can get as little or as much as you'd like. There is a lunch special from 11 a.m to 3 p.m if you spend $18 you can choose between a free miso or a free soda. We got two free miso soups and a free soda. I don't eat fish and I don't like sea weed lol so they did make me a custom soy wrapped cucumber, avocado roll. If you get a custom roll, you have to buy the whole roll. The pieces of sushi can definitely add up, they go from around $2 to $3 or $4 each. It's a cool concept if you want variety without having to order full rolls. The service was very good, they were helpful in helping us figure out how the concept works. It's very casual.

I really love the concept here because I never can decide what type of roll to get. When I walked in I was greeted immediately. The young lady explained how everything worked. They have a rotating menu with plenty of options for everyone. All the sushi has the name right in front of it and are cut up Into bite size pieces. The prices range from a dollar and some change up to about five dollars. I picked out a few pieces I had never tried before. They even offer a few sauces for your sushi. Everything was fresh and delicious. They have so many combinations that I would never think to put together. Everything does pair well together. I got the passion fruit drink. It was refreshing and light. I took my food to go and it was packaged beautifully. They put it in a cute black bag that seals up to keep the sushi fresh. This is an awesome new sushi spot. So if you can't ever decide on 1 roll and want a variety this is the spot for you.

First off, the concept is really cool. I like the pick and choose, but the prices can stack up. I got seven pieces and a onigiri which came out to around $26. Would be cool if there was set price for half dozen or dozen with limitations of course. Sushi was pretty fresh and rice quality is nice. Ambiance is super cool and looks relaxing enough to eat inside. Concept is for more food on the go, but I would totally eat inside next time. Service was nice and helpful, gave out a lot of sauces. Would come again when I want to treat myself.

This is very important. If by name, sushi was the exclusive item they served, they better be extraordinary at it. That was not the case. To start, their serving situation almost guarantees a line out the door. Their suite was setup as such, but could very well be done strategically to emulate the idea that this place is "poppin". If they opened with low cost to serve, high priced items, limited time opening without informing the public, and make that money and a tax write off, they'd have done their job well. Customer service is good. The line can move quickly, but every other guest is guaranteed to face indecision. And that's for those who are experienced with coming by this place. Because they change up their menu, so crowd favorites WILL NOT be there for the next visit. (We overheard this from 2 different groups of people, and they were quite vocal about their disappointment.) The sushi assortment on display is ACTUALLY what you will get, and this is a problem for several reasons. 1) Dry. The rice vinegar will not keep the rice moist as it sits out for display. 2) Dry. The fish will dry out. The flavor falls flat. The overall taste is bland. 3) Quality control is lost just by the first two items I mentioned. 4) Cost. I do not care how much money Clovis people think they make, the barrier to entry for affording this place is WAY too high for what you get for piece-mealing low quality sushi. I covered a couple of problems related to displaying the sushi for consumption. That's not the only problem regarding this complaint. The sushi is protected from those in line with the plexiglass display, but as they make new sushi, they will place the new plates on top of the glass, where an approx. 12 year old girl, height of the top of the case, open-mouth coughed on the 2 plates that eventually make it into the case for purchase. The employee saw that and figured it was okay to serve so quickly shoved them into the display. The only Pro: We didn't get sick from eating here. But to continue the cons, we shared 10 pieces as an appetizer to test out the joint and made us feel hungrier. All of this is why I am giving them a 1.5 out of 5 stars. Doesn't round up, I'm afraid.

I was so excited when I first heard of this concept of a restaurant coming to Clovis! However, I missed the opening days and I began to read the reviews and I was definitely skeptical. Therefore, it took me a while to try it. My brother strongly suggested we try it and I finally went reluctantly. However, I am so glad he really pushed me to go because I loved it! I loved it so much that we went two times in one week. First of all as soon as you walk in, everybody shouts to welcome you in Japanese. We used to do that at a restaurant that I worked at and I absolutely loved it. Then there is someone at the counter that asks you if you have ever been there before if not, they explain how the whole thing works. You get a choice between three sides boxes. The first time I went with four different people, and we all got the personal for ourselves . Each of us got about 10 pieces of rolls. Then at the end you can get some sauces or wasabi and ginger. The second time I went, I shared a personal box with my husband, so I got as many pieces as I could put in that box. The sushi rice was the perfect texture (and I'm super picky about my rice). The fish was so fresh! Honestly, the nigiri has been my favorites so far! As far as the roles go, they change those out pretty often which I love trying different things every time I go. All of the pieces were so good and I love that they are not drenched in sauce. Also, huge bonus is they use real crab in their rolls!! It is pricey, but it's not much more pricey than a typical sushi/seafood spot. It is sushi after all and it's very fresh! I would gladly pay more for quality. For me, I love the variety and the fact that I don't have to order a roll with 10 pieces and just continuously eat that. I love trying new things and I think if you are the type of person who just wants the same thing every single time and wants it to be exactly the same this place might not be the place for you. But if you like being spontaneous and open to trying new things, it'll be a better choice for you! All in all, I highly recommend to try this place out. I'm already planning my next visit.

2nd time here and each time has been a pleasant surprise. I've gone after 8pm each time. It's a cute date spot, and there are always ample places to sit. The workers are patient and kind. Cheetos tempura roll was a fun choice-tasted exactly how it sounds. Spicy karaage onigiri was okay. It needed more filling IMO. Last time, we got the tuna onigiri, and that was definitely better. Also, each time we've gotten an onigiri, one of the wrap's sides, if not both, always does not pull apart nicely...so beware of that. I'll still keep ordering onigiris though lol. The lemon salmon inari was so refreshing! I was happy with how fresh the salmon was. Definitely better than the cheesy crabby corn inari we got last time, but every inari we've gotten so far has been so good! The spam misubi wasn't my fav, but I liked how they added imitation crab for depth. Thai coco and peppered tuna crunch were great, but what really blew us away was the spicy rainbow roll w/ black rice. TBH, I am still dreaming about it. The chili garlic on top really added that "je ne sais quoi." They need to keep that on the rotation, as well as the spicy trio crunch. Also bomb.

First of all, I was planning to get poke from Butterfish, but I walked into the wrong door and ended up at Sushi Box instead First time being there and the vibe felt different right away. Great customer service too -- sadly I didn't ask for his name. The sushi was so damn good and I'd totally go back. I ordered 1 special onigiri, 4 specialty rolls, 2 special specialty rolls, and 2 inari. Total came out to $30.45 plus a $5 tip. Definitely worth it.
