$23 gets you: - tiny seaweed salad - sashimi (2 slices of salmon, 2 toro, 2 ika) - unagi don nothing special... the unagi pieces were sliced super thin and drowning in the sauce... not very balanced. ika was ice cold. toro and salmon were decent. slow service. i was sitting at the bar and had to listen to the staff gossip (in cantonese) while they took care of all the take-out orders before they took care of ours. even the to-go orders after we ordered were filled before ours. yes, it's cheaper than many other japanese restaurants, but there are other alternatives on the island like yojimbo that are priced similarly, tastier, and with double the amount of food. not impressed. left still feeling hungry. boo. read more

Sushi King - Sushi Bars Near Me - Alameda, California

See all

Craving some sushi but don't feel like spending too much? This is your place. My boyfriend and I love sushi, but as we all know, having too much sushi can put a hole in your wallet. We come here to get our fix when we just have a mini sushi craving, but aren't feeling super picky about quality. It's not the best sushi in the world, but it works for the price you're paying. Once I ordered 3 of the same handroll, and they looked completely different--whaat? Didn't the same person just make all 3? When it was pointed out to the sushi chef, he said all the portions are the same, but the ingredients are in different places in each of them and that's why they looked different--even though they were the same roll.... Can't really complain since they're only like $3 a pop. Rolls are okay, but they have wayyy too much rice packed into them. I usually have a huge mound of rice on my plate after I'm done eating because I pick some of it off. Then again, like I said earlier, I won't complain too much. I like coming here--it's not the best sushi ever, but it'll do for the cost. read more

I literally just get the damn chirashi bowl. All. The. Time. :) Only minus is that they do not have a to-go menu. However, I stopped by yesterday afternoon around 5pm only to see the place closed. Are they closed on Thursdays? Are they gone? I am concerned. read more

I love the food here. The sushi is always on point, I've had bento boxes too and it's always delicious. The staff is friendly, the food is made quickly too. More affordable than other sushi restaurants in the area. read more

We have been coming here for years and this review is long over due....having lived where there is some of the best sushi you can get we were disappointed in the sushi in Alameda. Until we came here, everything they make is is delicious and made with love! The tuna tataki and the sunset roll are our favorite and the young people who work here are friendly and the best at what they do, thank you Eddie for always taking care of us. We love Sushi King! read more

I LOVE this place! A friend and I found it when going to a chicken wing place nearby. I grabbed a menu, was thrilled to find out they deliver, and then went there a week later. I couldn't have been happier. They have two things that are difficult to find at sushi places; hamachi kama and poke salad. The hamachi kama was delicious! Perfectly cooked and just salty enough. The poke seems to vary. I'm a huge poke fan and while the seaweed is always perfectly seasoned sometimes the fish is too stringy. It's almost like they used the fish that wasn't good enough for sashimi or nigiri for the salad. Most of the time though it's wonderful. The nigiri has always been fresh. The seafood dumplings and sauce are wonderful. I wasn't a fan of their spicy scallop temaki (I didn't like that they minced the scallops) but I had it as a maki and it was great. Their delivery was very quick, as I discovered yesterday after ordering delivery the first time. Everyone from the hostesses and the chefs are very nice. It's a small place but can easily fit probably 50 people. Prices are so reasonable I eat here every time I go into Alameda. read more

Sushi is always freshly made. Sometimes the wait is a bit long (30mjn-1hour) but worth it if you have time. Also, conveniently located in a small market so you can shop while you wait. There's also a free parking lot so you don't have to look or spend on parking. read more

1. My favorite poke place in Alameda: fresh fish and loaded with greens. refreshing and rejuvenating 2. The sauce is a bit too sour for my taste. I usually don't mix any sauce in my poke. If I do, I have it on the side. The sauce overpowered the taste of other fresh ingredients. 3. This place is inside of the Marketplace. Nice environment and friendly staff. read more

Sushi King - Poke Bowl with salmon and tuna - Sushi Bars Near Me - Alameda, California

Best sushi-in-plastic you can buy. This is a little stall in the Marketplace that sells pre-packaged lunch for the two people besides me who actually work on Alameda Island. If you have time to pull up one of the four stools and eat, I recommend it. It's good sushi. You won't write home about it but you're on Alameda Island so get some perspective and eat here with great enjoyment. read more

I was picking up coffee at the Beanery and needed to grab some quick take-out for lunch so I thought I'd give Sushi King a try. It's a very small shop in the Alameda Marketplace with only like 4 seats at the sushi bar. The woman behind the counter was very friendly. I tried their sushi special which gives you 4 pieces of nigiri and 6 pieces of spicy tuna roll for a reasonable $8.99. As far as sushi goes, that's pretty cheap. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from a tiny and inexpensive sushi place in a marketplace but I was pretty impressed. The fish was pretty fresh, fresher than Sushi House I think. The slices of salmon, tuna, and hamachi where were thicker than I expected. So, the sushi special was well worth it, good and cheap. I think it's pretty reasonable to judge a sushi place by their sushi combo. Too bad they don't have more seating. If I could, I'd give them 4.5 stars. read more

I am SO glad I read the yelp reviews for this place because I never would have found it! I'm a big fan of the Marketplace but just always walked by this place and really discounted it because it's so small and didn't seem like a "legit" restaurant. After reading Yelp reviews though I decided to give it a try and ordered some sushi to go when my mom was visiting. We are all total sushi people so we can be quite critical when it comes to good and bad places. This place though was AWESOME. We ordered a ton of rolls for just 4 people and they were all just delicious...the only thing that was better...THE PRICE! Whew I was worried I had gotten more sushi than I could fit in my budget but for around 6 rolls and a sashimi sampler and side orders of nigiri it was around $65....that's cray cray! Great sushi, great price, and now I found out they deliver. Love love love! read more

This was my fist time. I love udon & sushi and their prices were very reasonable. They were very kind people. Unfortunately, the sushi was warm. & there was hair in my udon. Won't be going there again! read more

This sushi joint is pretty good, obviously it's not like Japan, I don't really know why people compare to Japan.. but for the price of it, not bad :) customer service is on point. I asked the cashier what their popular choices were and she gave me a list, and also, she informed me that I can opt out on some fishes if I don't like the certain type ! But I had to wait, but I'm sure they had a long list of orders since she said it will take 30 mins. But hey, I got my food and it was satisfying. Will be coming back for more :) read more

Ain't gonna lie. I'm pretty hangry right now so it's gonna dramatically influence this rating. So hangry that I was checking the order status update every 5 minutes. So hangry that I almost ran a few red lights on the way to sushi king. So hangry that I'm actually writing a yelp review for the first time in five years. There's no status updates on when the order is ready or estimated time for pick up. After 30 min, I came to pick up my order and they ended up giving my order to a different customer. They apologized for the inconvenience, but didn't try to make up (via discount or freebee) for the lost time. read more

Unfortunately found plastic wrapper i n my Poke bowl today. Returned it for a refund. Will not return ever. read more

Great sushi joint! I like coming here because people are also so nice. Sushi is fresh here if you order. I can say how fresh the sushi is in the refrigeration unit, but they change it out quite often. The rolls are large and delicious! The old downside is there's limited seating and because it's inside the marketplace, it can get quite loud. Still, it's a wonderful place to grab some good sushi and enjoy a book. read more

Delicious sushi! I come here about 3 times a week extremely fresh and quick. Also very good prices cause we all know how expensive sushi can get. Would recommend read more

This place is so good!! Prices are reasonable and the fish is always fresh. It is in the Marketplace in Alameda, a funky (in a good way) converted old brick Ford Dealership on Park Street. Nothing fancy but fresh and well worth a trip. read more

Don't ever order from here unless you like bad customer service and nasty food. I called in to order take-out and was told 15mins and waited over an hour for my food. When I finally received my food. I was so happy after the long wait I didn't check the food until I got home. I asked for no teriyaki sauce on the chicken but seems like they put extra sauce. I order California Roll which I didn't receive. The veggie tempura was soggy and consisted of 2 pieces of onion, 2 zucchini, and 2 carrots which they charge you $7 and I watched them take it out of another take-out bag that was sitting on the counter for 30mins to give to me. Plus the worst customer service ever the Asian chick seems so unhappy to help you make a you feel depress just talking to her. It was my first time ordering from here and will be my last. DON'T EVER ORDER FROM HERE read more

This is my go to place, l usually grab something from the fridge and have them make something real quick to take out never had anything l didn't like, love the crazy horse roll ate it so fast almost bit my fingers off. Great job read more

This place has the best cuts of salmon that I've found so far for an affordable price. Their salmon is consistently so smooth and delicious that I come here specifically when I'm craving salmon sashimi. They also let you get just salmon in a bento box or in a bowl of rice; I haven't seen this option anywhere else! Their prices are pretty decent for sushi and service is typically fast and polite, although there's limited seating--just four seats at a bar. There is more bar seating across the way, however, if it gets crowded. I've been here 3/4 times now and it's never been an issue. Great little reliable sushi spot if you're in the area! Definitely one of my personal go-tos for a well-priced sushi meal. read more

Sushi King is awesome! The first time ever having sushi was at this place... I love sushi to this day, so this Sushi King did something right. Rolls were great, the teriyaki chicken plate was better. Even better than that was the soup, and salad that came with. Close enough to the beach to have a great meal with a great view. Went during happy hour, so we had a huge feast for under $15. Thats crazy. read more

The service was fine, but the food wasn't great. The rock-and-roll and sake roll were passable, but the hamachi had tendon-y. Yuck! The teriyaki salmon over-cooked and salty. The atmosphere was exactly what you'd expect from a mini-mall, but SO MUCH worse with the loud tv featuring some repo reality show. We won't be back--we'll stick with Sushi House (in off hours, so we don't have to wait). read more

Solid sushi and rolls at a reasonable price. Everything is made to order with great ingredients. The food here is equivalent quality to several sushi restaurants on the island. The location is really convenient. The staff always helpful and friendly. Great no frills sushi place. read more

You will be greeted with a "For here or to-go?" Waitstaff was somber which forecasted very well the flavor of the sushi. Salmon skin roll - nice texture and flavor Salmon roll - disgusting bad quality cuts that was inedible Spicy scallop - disgustingly slimy and did not look or taste anything like your typical scallop We left unsatisfied and had to get Wingstop after our dinner here. read more

So far, this is my favorite sushi place in Alameda. I've tried about half a dozen and keep coming back here. Love the seaweed salad and the Alameda roll with a magical sauce of savory happiness. Staff could be a bit more attentive when you are trying to order and/or get more hot tea. Also, they are wonderful if you call ahead and place a to go order. Very special little place. read more

Came here since we were in the area after a Pokemon GO event and wanted sushi. This place came up as a single $ sign so we would assume cheaper sushi than those with $$, but this place is definitely two $ signs like all the others... Is it because it's inside the Marketplace where rotisserie chickens are $20 (I'll take a $5 Costco one instead any day), so it's "relatively" marked only one $? =_= Not to mention the Marketplace bathroom system is janky and completely ate up the token I used to get into the bathroom, still not letting me in, so I had to wait for someone inside to open the door. Well, despite the mishaps, I had a pleasant experience at Sushi King overall. Food and service were both good, though nothing exceptional. My husband and I come around the area for Pokemon GO events since our more local businesses have some lame folk who got the Pokestops removed--I'm never giving Hallmark money ever again-- and this Sushi King is another decent place to check out if you're in the area. Oakland A's roll was the bomb! read more

It was fine. Fast-food sushi if you have a craving. Designated parking to run in and out. Not terrible, but nothing special.

Let's be completely honest with how "sushi people" rate "sushi". There are some who judge the fish and rice for nigiri. There are others who rate the elaborate rolls drowned in special sauce. Sushi King has about 4 maybe 5 different fishes you can have nigiri style. So if you're looking for aji, butterfish or other types typically found at sushi bars, you're at the wrong place. You know their target demographics when they have 5 pages of sushi rolls and a half page of nigiri. Three star price for three star fish. If you're in town and want to try it out, go here. I wouldn't drive across a bridge or more than 15 minutes to try this place out. read more

It's not the best sushi but it is one of the quickest. I like their seaweed salad the best of all of the offerings I have tried here. I am usually picking up here for a coworker while waiting for my roast beef sandwich next door at Season to Taste. read more

Terrible service, rude, and very very slow. I went here after shopping to pick up a couple sushi rolls. I honestly was just planning to pick up something pre-made, but they were all gone. I asked a couple times if my order was coming soon, but they didn't seem to care. After waiting over 25 minutes (and having two people receive their larger orders before me), I asked the woman to refund my money (as my daughter was now definitely getting ready to be home to go to bed). She went back behind the counter and proceeded to do other things. I had bad service, no food, and was charged $25. I will never go back here and I will discourage all my friends from going here as well. read more

My favorite sushi bar on the entire island. Always fresh fish and quick service. Tekka Make rolls for days.

This place is a disaster. Spicy tuna is a Siracha mess. Second they use the wakame with food coloring and msg. Not cool. Third they commit the fatal tempura sin. There is a big ol pile of prefried shrimp. This means it is cold and soggy when they roll it not hot and crunchy. This defeats the whole point of tempura in sushi. Everywhere is doing this now and it marks the great decline of tempura rolls. Very sad. I knew better but came bc it is the only sushi spot on the island open between lunch and dinner. The service was good. That is why they get 2 stars not 1. Go to yellowtail bistro at lunch. They get it right, except they do commit tempura sins at dinner. read more

i work over in Fruitvale somedays, so we hop the bridge to Alameda for lunch often (cause like, there's nothing healthy to eat in my immediate surroundings). my old standard on the island of places to eat when i am craving sushi (or don't know what i'm craving)....SUSHI KING! if you wanna wait a minute for something special, they have tons of great rolls on the menu. otherwise they have a few fresh ones just made and all ready to go! plus there is a small bar with four seats if you prefer to eat there. the miso soup was the only bummer. kinda cold, weak... i wasn't impressed. but otherwise, it's fast, fresh fish, and in the midst of the Alameda marketplace....so if your friend is not in the mood for sushi, no prob! read more

Ridiculous gummy rice. Many supermarkets have better sushi. Not even going to waste time with a long review. This place is sub-par with par+ pricing. read more

Was actually ok despite the bad reviews. It was fast friendly and just what we needed at the time. I enjoyed my food, and it was better than fast food any day! read more

Use to love this place but recently I was given some slimy seaweed salad and wrong orders. Today I ordered 2 mango rolls because my wife enjoyed them before and they did not have raw fish and they came with raw fish and fish eggs and weird taste that did not go together. The food was below average. I will never go eat there again read more

This is my go to sushi place. I have never been disappointed and the fish is always fresh! I've tried every place on the island and keep coming back to Sushi King, they are simply the best for the best price and have the nicest people working there! It's awesome to know they always will be consistent! I have to stop myself from going everyday! read more

This is the best local take out sushi in Alameda. Great prices for the quality and portion. You can eat here but it has zero ambiance since the seating in the market place walkway. read more
