I love the text in option for pick up!! It makes life so easy. Their sushi is always fresh and tasty. My family is always happy with all the rolls we choose. The service is amazing!! I love their Maui Maki and Lompico roll. read more

The server Jacob was beyond rude.. Food made it doable to stay for our meal. However, we will not go back until Jacob is gone. He has an unsettling vibe... scary. read more

I almost don't want to give up this secret. This sushi place is my go to in Santa Cruz county. Sigh, it's the best. The sushi is solid; the miso is prime, and the sake is cheap. Please don't ruin this for me. For real, don't ruin it or I WILL find you. Miso: Cheap, lots of tofu. Comfort. House sake: hella cheap, how? Becca roll - incredible. The basil! The crunch! Obsessed. Ultimate mango roll - also incredible. Beautiful. Don't. Ruin. It. I'm serious. read more

Phenomenal food! Everything is super fresh and delicious. Love the sesame dressing on the salad, we get the jalapeno appetizer, sashimi, rolls, matcha ice cream. This place is the best! read more

We LOVE Sushi San restaurant! It's one of our absolute favorites. The food is delicious, the service great (we come for dinner around 5:00 to avoid their busy time), and the atmosphere is comfortable. We share the salmon teriyaki dinner plate and one of their many specialty sushi rolls. Tonight we had Crunchy Tiger Roll. Yum! read more

Great time and decent pricing for sushi. There are three different dining areas and they are fast with the sushi. My favorite was the lion king roll. Kid friendly which was nice and all the aquariums made it easy to wait for food. We ordered two rounds of sushi though and ordering the second round took a long time to get a hold of our server and other servers didn't seem to want to help(all highschool age so can't blame them when not getting the tip). Will come back! read more

Delicious and fresh sushi with the best prices. This place is a must go to small town restaurant

No stars!!! I've never left a review like this before, but our experience at Sushi San in Felton, CA was upsetting enough to speak up. We came in for a peaceful meal, but the manager's rude and completely unprofessional behavior ruined it. She actually moved a couple that was seated behind us--because our 10-month-old was being a baby. Yes, a baby doing what babies do: cooing, making noise, and existing. Then she had the audacity to ask if she could take my child for a walk or show him the fish tank. I don't know what kind of place thinks it's appropriate for a stranger to offer to walk off with someone's baby, but I found it beyond inappropriate and invasive. This isn't a five-star restaurant--if it were, the atmosphere, service, and clientele would reflect that. It's a casual place in the middle of the boonies, not some fine dining experience where silence is expected. We didn't even get to finish our food because the manager continued to complain about our baby, making the entire experience uncomfortable and frustrating. Needless to say, we won't be back. I'm sure the regulars will defend the place, but when management treats customers--especially families--with this kind of disrespect, it's not a place worth supporting. read more

Took about 10 minutes for anyone to even check in with us at the front with multiple employees looking us in the eye and ignoring us. After being sat it took another good while to even have a server come and greet us which wasnt even a greeting just a stare with the notepad. Asked our server twice for drinks and didnt get them until 20 minutes after. Same with the miso soup that usually comes out promptly after ordering. food was mediocre at best and the katsu wasnt super hot. was not checked on throughout entire meal. read more

To be clear this is a review for the take-out service offered by Sushi San... The Katana is considered by some to be the perfect blade... but if wielded by a blind person it becomes useless. I offer this as perspective for experiences at Sushi San. The food at Sushi San is phenomenal (the Katana) the service is horrendous (the blind person wielding the Katana). This is the conclusion of two visits to this business (gotta be fair... give them a chance). Visit 1: My wife orders sushi togo and is told 30 minute pickup. She drives 30 min (we live north of Boulder Creek) and arrives and the sushi is not ready - she is told another 30 minutes. She waits another 30 minutes and after an hour total she asks about the order and is told "Oh I forgot to put in the order" and she is told she can wait another 30 minutes (please google 'definition of insanity' at this point). My wife cannot wait longer and leaves and is told "we owe you an order of sushi". Visit 2; Sushi San opens at 5pm and my wife calls in an order at 5:05. She is told the order will be ready in 45 minutes. I drive the 30 minutes to town and do some shopping and then go to pickup order. I am told it is not ready and I should come back in 45 minutes. 45 minutes later I come back and the sushi is still not ready. I sit and wait and after a total of 2 hours the sushi arrives. The owner gives me the order and says "Wow that is lot of sushi. Too much for 2 people" my reaction is surprise and I walk out... then think a moment and walk back in... I call to the owner and ask to speak to her. I then tell her this (in a calm voice). "I have managed customer support groups for 30 years and I advise that if you want to keep a customer you do not insult them after giving very bad service. Saying the amount of food ordered is too much for two people is not your business and offering insult and implying gluttony after giving horrible service will not keep a customer loyal. I offer this as advice for the next customer because today you have lost a customer." I cannot recommend Sushi San but I do advise that if you are in the mood for Great sushi AND Great service AND you live in SLV just drive the extra 10 minutes to Scotts Valley and goto Rumble fish or Otoro...both offer excellent food and excellent service ( we just went to dinner at Otoro last night for my wife's birthday). read more

Another brilliant experience at Sushi San! I grabbed the chef's assorted sashimi dish, a friend of mine chose the salmon kama and another friend wanted a donut roll. Lights out perfection. read more

Super comfortable space. Charming decor, not overdone. Our server, Jacob, was top notch! As observed by some others, the variety, flavorfulness and portions of food were all FIVE STAR. Seriously, take it from this sushi mega fan, Sushi Sannnow tops my list! read more

5 stars & this place really earned it. Situated at the end of a not very busy strip mall, walking in I was surprised at how cute and thoughtful it was decorated. The woven black & tan baskets near the ceiling caught my eye as well as the open containers that held chopsticks near the cash register. We came about 7pm and I was expecting a long wait but we sat within minutes. The 5 of us hungry ladies sat down and were waited on the most patient food server ever. I don't recall her name, but I just kept thinking how young she looked. I was delighted to see the rolls were not your standard rolls. Some had mango in it, some had macadamia nuts in it & were priced generally between $7 and $15. I was looking at the hamachi kama but decided on getting my usual, the salmon skin maki. Friends said it tasted like chicharon (fried pork skin). I've had better but my two friends loved it. I also ordered the Tan Tan roll, which I expected to be a little different. It was way too spicy for me. Luckily my 2 other friends loved it and helped eat it. What I did super love was the Becca roll. It was so so so good and would get it again in a heartbeat. Sister had a roll with mango in it. I can't recall name, but although it was good I expected spectacular. The mussels appetizer topped with a mayo, slightly spicy and with a soy-ish sauce and garnished with daikon and lemon was so good we ordered a second round. Other items we got were the chicken katsu, it wasn't what friend expected, it didnt even have a real looking breading on it which is what we are used to. Friend ended up giving it away. Other friend got the Lomi salad. It was big and she really liked it. What made up for the few mishaps was the beyond amazing service. Waitstaff was incredibly patient with us middle aged ladies many requests. The decor, in particular the 4 fish tanks with exotic fish, kept us entertained, curious, and Googling the fish names and prices. So glad we came across this shiny gem in Felton. I would come back for the mussels, Becca roll, and try the other unique rolls that have macadamia nuts in it and to sit in that very helpful servers section again. read more

Such a hidden gem in Felton, great customer service and opened on Independence Day to serve customers from near and afar. Good portion and very reasonable price. read more

Sushi San is me and my partner's favorite sushi place in the entire Santa Cruz area. The fish quality is really amazing for the value and the wait staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. All timer here! read more

my favorite sushi place ever not only are the portions, good size and delicious, but the owner is a wonderful , kind, caring human being that inspires the same behaviour in her staff. They are always efficient respectful and kind.all of my children & grandchildren live in the area and when we all get together birthday dinner, it's usually 13 of us. They always accommodate us and make us feel welcome... I love this place and especially the people read more

A hidden gem in Felton! The ambience is super cool and the service is great! The portion sizes are also amazing for the price! I ordered the chicken ramen and it was delicious! It was $14 and honestly big enough for two people to share. My only complaint is that the chicken was a little dry. I would probably order it with a different protein option next time. Other than ramen, they have a variety of sushi rolls and a whole vegetarian roll menu as well. Perfect place to bring a big group of people! read more

This is a unique place to get sushi but it is good. Staff is friendly and the atmosphere is laid-back. They have some very unique names/rols. The 1 thing you have to try is the hot jalapeños, it is kinda like a sushi jalapeño poper!! read more

Best sushi restaurant! Excellent food, great staff, beautiful fish tanks, and comfortable dining.

This sucks because I usually have a great experience with their food. Unfortunately the tuna roll I ordered earlier today was completely rotten. I can no longer trust this restaurant and I would advise against going to this establishment. Absolute shame read more

Meh. Overpriced, skimpy cuts of sashimi. No soup on a $26 sashimi platter?! No bueno. Waitress was not very nice and had an attitude when I inquired about some soup. Never checked on me and didn't seem to care. Never coming back. Otoro is way better....$45 for sushi and still hungry.....nope, never again. read more

Wonderful fresh sushi. We live in Scotts Valley but drive here for the quality and selection. I've done take out and eat in and both are always spot on. Lots of variety and delicious. Some favorites are the salmon skin roll, spicy scallop, the bento boxes are a super deal. My kids usually split one with enough for the parents to snack on too. Very sweet and attentive servers as well. A gem in Felton! read more

So much cleaner than Mama Mia's. My husband and child enjoyed their vegan sushi. Two stars for their enjoyment. My order of teriyaki chicken was not pleasant. The poultry used not exactly grade A. Dark meat only, served pink, and drowning in some sugary syrup made this dish inedible. Not worth the price. The hostess was very kind and seated us promptly. Audrey, I think? She is a very good representative of your restaurant. Know part of my family likes your food and will be back. I won't. Sorry. read more

We had the best sushi rolls, and a soup, to go. Traveled here for the night and found this delicious place because I got a nail in my tire while driving from the Bay Area. The owner and her daughter were so sweet and helped by giving their help and offered a few ideas based on her asking us questions of the foods we do like. These are the rolls we ordered and totally enjoyed!!! So impressed and wish we lived closer! Golden Fire Roll Crunch Flying Tiger And Spicy Tuna Roll Grateful they were open today!!! Thank you for making such delicious quality food! Five stars!!!!!! read more

This is a hidden gem! I didn't expect that the food would be this good in tiny little Felton! The service was great, the food came out quickly, and it has a pleasing aesthetic. Definitely check them out! In truth, it took me way too long to finally try them out. read more

I have eaten here many times over the years. The fish is always delicious. The saki tasty. The last two times (after Covid) the service is off. I see poor management of time with the servers. I saw the whole service staff at the window waiting for food. That's a terrible way of managing your time. My water sat empty for 30 minutes. No soup. No salad. No refills. We could have drank another saki but nobody came to check on us. Not one server even looked in our direction! You can't abandon your front house just because food isn't coming out. Bring water, reassure your customers food is coming! Up sale! We could have bought another saki! But there was no service! Train Your Front house! Don't leave your local customers stranded with no water! At least when the food finally came it was awesome! read more

I like the vibe here. Local feel, nice fish tanks, high chairs available, friendly service. We got a sushi combo, and enjoyed a spicy tuna roll, an unagi roll, and another roll with maguro. We also ordered an udon with beef. The udon was nice in the recent cooler weather, but the broth was a bit on the sweet side. We also ordered a couple bottles of Nigori. Overall, a good dining experience. read more

Amazing sushi at a great price! Try their combo tempura for starters, best I ever had. Service is great, too -- attentive but not bothersome. read more

I had a great time eating here with my boyfriend. The bento box dinner is a lot of food for the price. Will definitely be returning.

Fantastic! Excellent Quality sushi. Proud to recommend this family owned Sushi restaurant to anyone. Creative and delicious rolls at reasonable prices. read more

We've been eating here for a few years now. The food is good and most of the time the service is fairly good. Today 7pm (they closed at 8pm) several seats available inside, we're still told there's a one hour wait??? ... blah blah blah will be the excuses (and I guarantee they'll toss in COVID). Well you lost two long term customers. We no longer give our hard earned money to COVID-stupid business. We will never set foot in this place again! read more

This is very shocking for a 5 star reviewed restaurant, The waitress had attitude and the wait for food was extremely beyond long like 45 minutes, unacceptable with no check up or refils, when the food came it just was plain out not attractive seems like old ingredient's were used, - what was really shocking was the couple got there food first before us and we were seated first! Hopefully this was not a ethnic issue. Be cautious. read more

great family friendly restaurant with aquariums with fish that keep my kids busy. good is great and service is nice.

Who knew you could great Sushi in the San Lorenzo Valley? Great menu, including vegan rolls. Classic little Mom and Pop place, staff are great, sometimes the wait can be long, but good things come to those who wait! A really nice relaxed place to have dinner. read more

The food here is sooooo good but the last two times we've come in the wait for the food has been too long. For a family of four, the first food came after an hour and ten minutes and then it was in intervals of 15 min even though we all ordered together. We all had to eat our meals separately which wasn't great. While I am very sympathetic that they are short staffed, I would not seat the whole restaurant so the food can come quicker. read more

Sushi San far exceeded my expectations for a sushi restaurant for Felton! The rolls were super creative and delicious. The inside was clean and they have comfortable seating . The staff was so friendly and accommodating. I went twice within a couple of weeks and the second time I brought a couple of the kids along and they were so friendly with the kids, they even brought the toddler some rice and cubed up tofu to keep the little guy happy. My favorite roll was the Basil roll, also excellent rolls were the ultimate mango and the special tempura roll. 10/10 recommend this place ! read more

Such a Beautiful Japanese food restaurant hidden in the valley. Very clean amazing fish tanks throughout the restaurant. The staff is very attentive. The food is fresh & excellent and presented beautifully. Excellent salmon belly, Deliciously created specialty rolls. Basil roll is just amazing and delicious. Family owned business so much attention to detail. Their Hamachi Kama dinner is to die for as is everything you order. Their miso soup is the best I have had, as is the Shrimp & vegetable tempura. The best part of it all it's local and so reasonably priced. Try for yourself you will not be disappointed. Joonie and her family will provide you with a great sushi experience. Oh you must try the fried bananas and coconut ice cream for desert So good... read more

This has become our Friday night ritual. The sushi is fresh and delicious, and the staff is amazing. This seems weird to point out but they cut a triangle into the top of the carry out box for veggie tempura. This allows steam to escape and keeps the tempura crisp as you travel home. Stopped by tonight and they are now offering indoor seating. Definitely worth your time. read more

Have eaten here SO many times, always delicious. I recommend trying a lot of rolls, they are all sooo great to share!

Great fresh fish and wonderful service - the owners are darling people. Great Felton restaurant!
