I have been to "Sushi on the Edge" several times in the past 5 years. The interior was a very intense & eclectic one....Hand made signs and lighting that gave the place an "Old School & New York Vibe"...Prior to COVID they were excellent and the Sushi and Tempura and other Japanese dishes were prepared well and prices & service were great! However, during and after COVID they seemed to suffer dramatically! While the Sushi was now just OK.. there wasn't any staff (just Husband and Wife)...so I was asked to wait outside for my order to go..?? Strange as this was a fairly large "sit down" restaurant..? Then I ordered a "take out "Shrimp and Veggie Tempura platter and WOW.. that was it! Totally"soggy " and not even close to being a nice crispy treat!...So that was it for me...!! Stopped going there for 1 year! Went back in August 2025 to see if they had made improvements...Closed Permanently!! read more

The food here is pretty decent and filling. The salmon skin salad was enough for 2 people. I would have liked a knife to make the salmon skin smaller since it was a little hard to chew. Jalapeño cream cheese wontons and salmon hand roll were ok. The spam musubi was pretty tasty, it had pretty good flavor in the rice and spam. The lady that helped me was kind and had the best customer service. I'm not sure when this place became just a to go place, but I sure do miss when they had $1 Sapporo happy hour. It's been years since I've been here. read more

Top tier service! Can not wait to be able to dine in. Quality fish and ingredients. Def a go to for my family any night I am looking for a break! read more

Wow. I have not been back here in a really long time due to not enjoying it the second time I went... But now I have gone here twice recently - they no longer have dine in service only takeout... They're sushi is the freshest and so generously stuffed full of fish it feels like robbery for their prices. I am glad I went back, because I am always looking for a good place to get some to go sushi and it's always nice to post a five star review for him, but that I didn't have a good experience with before. I would recommend this place out of a number of local sushi restaurants read more

Wednesday evening, We ordered sushi from here online . It was 35 minutes time frame till the order was ready . There was no wait . Inside it appears they have the inside set up for only to go orders . I've never been here before so I wasn't sure if that was typical. We ordered the tempura shrimp . Little oily but crispy perfectly seasoned , shrimp was cooked perfect . We also ordered salmon and shrimp rolls . My son loved them . Prices were very reasonable too! We will definitely try this restaurant again ! read more

Food is amazing, staff is friendly, to go only but service is great. The ISA roll is my favorite for no rice

Walk-in order to go around 430pm. The place was clean and not busy at all. One couple at a table and one other person at the bar. A lady greeted me as I walked in. She was friendly. It took between 15-20 minutes to recieve my order. I ordered 1 scallop handroll, spicy scallop roll, poke salad and spider roll. The rice wasn't cooked well, a little on the hard side. The vinegar flavor in the rice was lacking (important part of sushi). If the rice is messed up, the whole sushi dish is pretty much ruined. The spicy scallop roll was bland, the red spice added nothing to it. There was also a weird taste that I couldn't pinpoint. Aaagh... the scallops in the handroll were still frozen! OMG. Couldn't eat it, wanted to, but just couldn't. The saving grace, and reason why I gave 3 stars, was the poke salad. It was pretty good, had a nice flavor and the tuna was fresh. There was seaweed salad in it and some sesame seeds sprinkled on top. If the sesame seeds were toasted, it would've taken the dish to a whole other level. This place is not a first choice "go to" for sushi. read more

My son (Christian) has been going to Sushi on the Edge for the past (3) years. The Service is amazing, Sushi is always Fresh - My son has tried different Sushi places and he always states that other Sushi restaurants are not the Fresh as Sushi on the Edge is! Recommend Sushi on the Edge. read more

Honestly the best sushi place I've come across! I was a bit worried my first time ordering since my bill came out cheaper than other usual sushi places. This place has Super great quality fish and definitely won my heart! Their prices seriously don't do them justice! They are currently only take out which I don't mind but I do hope they open for dining soon read more

Okay... if you read my last review for this place you'll probably be surprised that I actually came back a third time. But I was in this plaza and needed something quick and relatively healthy so I (remembering the 1 star redemption I gave it for the chicken and soup) ducked back in hoping they'd earn a star back. Nope. I didn't think it was possible, but this place got even worse. At first I couldn't figure out why my lunch combo (teriyaki chicken and sashimi) were taking so long to come out... until i realized that they were waiting for the chicken to be completely cremated and for the fish to spoil before bringing it out. Yeah seriously - it took about 40 minutes - for a lunch combo - that i ordered at lunchtime - and there was only one other customer in there who was already served food when I walked in..... the chicken was burned/dried out beyond recognition then drowned in sauce, and the fish was so off-tasting that I literally had a wave of nausea the moment i put it in my mouth and so spit it out again immediately and didn't touch any more of it. I ate the miso soup, side salad, and a few bites of rice - because that was the only edible food i was served. If i'm back here again in another year trying to take this one star away, please make me get my head examined. read more

Great quality food at an amazing price. I eat here every chance I get. The owners are so nice.

I'm so happy I found this place. She is always with the best energy taking the orders, and gives an exact waiting time. The chef is also very friendly and a genius with the rolls. They do a great team. The Philadelphia roll is my favorite! After that, I recommend Vegas roll, is excellent; and of course the Rainbow roll is fantastic. I order here, at least, once a week. Since I moved to San Diego in 2016, I was frustrated that I wasn't able to find decent quality sushi to go; this place is way better than what I was looking for. Thank you so much! Martin.- read more

Absolutely HORRIBLE owners! Decided to try them out, feeling sorry for them, seeing them empty all the time. Went in, ordered two chicken teriyaki bowls, and some sushi. After I paid, $22.57, I asked to a little extra terijaki sauce on the side, and the owners wife said that would be .25 each for the two bowls. I was surprised and said really? I just spent $22.57 and you want to charge me for a tiny little bit of extra sauce? She said yes, and so I said, then, no thank you, I don't need the extra sauce. And I assumed that was that! Oh no!!!! The husband, the chef/food preparer, became incensed and started to verbally attack me! Wild!! I admit, I was dumbfounded!! He went on and on about how he wasn't about to give anything away free! He was incredibly RUDE! I told him it was inappropriate for him to speak to me this way, and that I had chosen to give him my business and that I could have easily gone somewhere else. He then told me he had lots of customers and that he didn't NEED my business. He also told me that I was rude by being surprised that they charge for extra sauce and pointed to a sign off to the side that said so. I hadn't seen it. It wasn't obvious. And I told him had it been placed more prominently I would not have even had the conversation. He then took his mask off and approached me in an aggressive manner, still telling me how weird and rude I was (not knowing that charging for sauce is THEIR thing, I guess)! At this point I decided it was probably DANGEROUS to purchase/ eat anything he might make so I asked his wife for my money back, and she reversed the charge. CLEARLY, these folks have anger issues, and incredibly horrible people skills! I would never step foot inside this establishment again, and will simply continue to go across the street to Wasabi! Enter at your own risk, and for goodness sake, don't even look sideways if they charge you extra for anything! Who knows, that moment might be THE moment where he looses it COMPLETELY and hits you! Still shaking my head over this whole encounter. Even after I apologized for being surprised, without having raised my voice or said anything unkind to either of them, he just wouldn't let it go! I wonder how long before he hits someone, and either goes to jail or gets sued and loses his restaurant! Wow........just wow!! read more

Some of the best sushi I've ever had and the lady is super nice and chill very nice 10/10

Tonight we tried the following: Mixed Tempura app Shishito app Hamachi Popper Roll Salmon nigiri Rock Star Roll Sashimi Salad Everything was DELICIOUS. Salmon tasted fresh, my kids ate it up quick. Hamachi was fresh. Husband was really impressed with the shishito peppers and loved the sashimi salad as well. All the sushi had fresh, juicy lemon/lime garnishes for your liking. Nice touch, I thought. Some people say "too saucy". If you're gonna be picky, order it on the side or without. This place deserves a higher rating. I should note I have not tried their hot food, except for their tempura, which was good. We will keep this place in mind, for sure! read more

I love this place they are nice and give you a decent portions s definitely will go here again.

Amazing! Roll samurai is huge, even difficult to put on mouth, and yummy. The interior is so good, the chairs are much more comfortable, then other sushi restaurants in San Diego. Staff is very nice and I came in slow time 4.30 there was nobody in a line, so I didn't wait at all. When I'll be in Vista again, I'm going to go here again. read more

I'm sorry to say I'll never go back. I've been eating the sushi here for several months. Always thought it was good. Not great but good. Today changed my mind. It was horrible! The rolls mush. Didn't hold there shape at all. They were drowned in sauce I assume to cover up the less than delicious fish they used. I ended up tossing most of it out. Even the rice was bad. I'm giving 2 stars because I have liked this place in the past. read more

This place is aiight. Sushi chef King (when he's there) is legit. He's friendly and personable if you get to know him and sit at the sushi bar. Other than that, Sushi on the Edge is okay. They were out of a couple of fish I usually like to order. The soda machine was also out of order as well the day I went in for dinner. Service might be a bit shady so sit at the sushi bar. The fish wasn't too shabby as well as the specialty rolls. read more

We really enjoyed the food and service here. Great rolls, excellent and vast beverage selection. Lots of local brewery choices, we just had some Kirin and a glass of whine. Lol. We enjoyed a dragon roll, Shadowridge Bomb Roll, and a Sushi on The Rock roll. Everything was tasty and fresh fish, eel sauces were nice and tangy, and great garlic edamame appetizers. Delicious! One note: all of your sushi roll come out on one plank, not a big deal, just sometimes confused on who eats what. Not a big deal, just noteworthy. If your looking for a great place to come for sushi before a movie, this is an excellent spot. Service was quick and efficient on a mellow Thursday night. read more

I have ordered from here through the GrubHub app a couple of times. Both times I would say they under promise and over deliver. Their food arrives hot or cold and up to 15 to 20 minutes before they say it will be there. The portions are very generous. I ordered the mixed tempura vegetables with shrimp, and was amazed at the quantity. The tempura broccoli and the mushrooms were absolutely delicious. The other vegetables were very good too but I never had more delicious tempura broccoli and mushroom. The appetizer was so abundant that I couldn't even eat my sushi roll so I put it in the fridge and I'm having the sushi roll the next day. There were more sushi pieces than what I expected. For delivery that included a 25% tip for the driver, a $3.99 service charge or delivery charge, plus an abundance of food was $24.26. Very reasonable considering I was already in my pajamas and too exhausted to go out after a hike earlier in the day. I highly recommend that you support this little local place. This spicy tuna roll was $7.95 and enough for two people! read more

Sushi On The Edge - Spicy tuna roll only $7.95 (Feb. '19) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vista, California

Fresh sushi! Simply delicious! I highly recommend to anyone who is looking for affordable sushi.

The food is OK but you can't sit down it's take out only now and and in the past one month I was there 3 times spending $14 each time on the 3rd time I asked for an extra container of Ginger they had the nerve to charge me 50 cents no I know 50 cents is nothing but $14 worth of sushi without being able to sit down and enjoy it If I would have ordered one order I would have gotten a container of Ginger if I would've walked out and ordered another order I would have got another container of Ginger and not had a pain additional 50 cents I know this makes me sound a bit Patty but but for Spending almost $45 a lost business over a 50 cent cup of Ginger I didn't ask for chopsticks I did chopsticks hide and ask for wasabi Abby all I wanted was my sushi and my Ginger I don't think I'm coming back here read more

Great little spot to stop and grab a good inexpensive bite to eat. The staff were friendly and very attentive and overall the place was clean. I didn't go to the restrooms but parking was easy for the time of day that I went. I would definitely go back. It's a small place but nice for small 2-4 people gatherings. read more

I really wanted to like this place because it's local. I visited pre-pandemic and the food was okay but they had a drain problem that made a bad smell that was very off-putting. My husband and I ordered dinner twice recently and were disappointed both times. Our egg rolls were under cooked and raw in the center. Our fried rice was mushy and gray. Our noodles were alright. Our tuna rolls were loose and fell apart when you picked them up which is a shame for a sushi restaurant. It's as if there was no effort or pride that went into those dishes. read more

Delicious sushi. I love that I can order online and just go pick it up. My dad loved the shrimp tempura they make here. It was his favorite.

Not great. We order from this place and it's usually pretty good. Today was a big disappointment. Chicken yakisoba was a very small portion--for $9, it didn't even fill the container it was served in. Out of 3 rolls, 2 were inedible. The albacore delight and sushi on the edge roll both had fish that was thick, chewy, and generally not great looking. Thinking the fish wasn't fresh. Everything went in the garbage, a waste of $50. read more

I've been to this place twice now and I have to give it a low rating because both experiences were downright bad. And the reason is purely because the service is terrible. First trip: I wait about 15-20min to get a seat at the vacant bar because the host/waitress needed to wipe it down. Around 630pm. The tables were mostly occupied so she was busy. Then it took about 20-30 minutes to even put my order in. I gave her my order clearly 2 speciality rolls. About 20 min later she brought me a roll I didn't order. I told her I didn't order that and she asked if wanted to cancel it. Cancel what? I didn't order it. I told her that and she said okay and took it back. 15min later I get my rolls. The rolls were really good so I have to say that and the portions were big. The sushi was good and well priced. I was satisfied but I was there for over 2 hours (dining solo at the bar...). It seemed the lady was over worked. I think they need to hire more staff, kinda felt bad for her. The sushi chef was cool as a cucumber however. Second experience: I went there around 530 after work to eat. I walk in and there are 2 diners at the bar and 2 at a table. The same waitress immediately tells me they are closed for the day. Just plain bizarre. I was bummed because I liked the sushi and was going to give them another shot. Now I'm skeptical to even show up there, and will probably just go to the other sushi place across the street which will actually serve you. I may give them another chance sometime and update the review! Update: third time, better service for sure and the same good sushi I am much more pleased. read more
