Definitely recommend to anyone if they like poke bowls but in a burrito version! If I could give 10 stars. I would. I normally don't leave comments for restaurants but sushi secrets deserve one! read more

Sushi Secrets - Sushi burrito - Japanese Near Me - Berkeley, California

Sushi Secrets is my favorite place for quick sushi and poke in Berkeley. Everything is always fresh and flavorful. the prices are good and the staff is really nice. They don't mind when I go with my parents and we sit there for ages chatting. I've also ordered their poke bowls for work events and they are perfect. read more

Wow I was so surprised when I ordered the Hokushita burrito, and literally without any exaggeration, received like 1.5 ounces of salmon. I feel scammed like i didn't get what I was paying for. Given that the salmon is the main selling point of this item, I'd expect it to be a little more present in each bite, but sadly it was not. A couple years ago the Hokushita burrito actually had a decent serving size of fish, but now they've halved it as well as increased the price :( read more

BEWARE THE DECEPTIVE PRACTICES: Big menu on the front door says salmon bento $12.99. I ordered it, the bill was $16.45. I asked; the answer: Oh, the menu on the front door is out to date, it's four years old, you should have looked at this (much smaller) one here by the cash register. I can't comment about the food. The The owner cancelled my order and I told him I won't be back. read more

Sushi's Secret is that they have this machine that'll place rice on your seaweed. Pretty interesting. I wanted this massive sushi burrito but without the rice. I asked for one and they said they couldn't make it and it would have to be a bowl instead (insert sad face). But I get it... it wouldn't be able to hold anything without the rice... yah yah yah. The morning we stopped in we needed to order some drinks for a few colleagues. Sadly, they had no ice that morning. Food was good. I'm thinking about Sushi Secrets for lunch now... read more

Love sushi wraps here!!!! Sometimes sauce is overloaded and covers up the raw sushi fish taste, which I love! Also, it makes me wonder how fresh the fish is since they're just masking it with creamy dressings instead of enhancing it. Convenient and an easy grab-n-go meal! Very nice servers. read more

Newbie to the sushirrito, this was my first try. I tried B3 Chichibun upon recommendation from the sushi chef and it was good. I liked the kimche which added that spice I like. I also tried the lobster balls and they were good, it was dough and inside small pieces of lobster. It was my first time tasting them this way and I enjoyed them. Pros: -conveniently located next to bart -Sushirrito grab and go -B3 was delicious -comfy couches to sit and eat in the back -frequent buyer card Cons: -I would had liked some kind of spicy sauce on the side Why the 3 stars it was ok, I will definitely come back and try it for an updated review. 12 uno 15 read more

Sushi Secrets - Takoyaki $2.99, lobster balls were good. - Japanese Near Me - Berkeley, California

A great idea. Okay execution. Who wouldn't want an onigiri on steroids jam packed with sashimi -- oh and shredded cabbage and carrots to make you feel healthier? While these sushi burritos sound good in my mind, when I'm actually eating them, they're not that great. The B3, which is supposed to be so good, wasn't that great. It needed more evenly spread sauce. As it was, the sauce was too much in some bites, and not enough in other bites. In the non-saucy bites, I was longing for some wasabi kick but instead eating not-so-fresh sashimi with nothing to mask the taste. At least with chirashi bowls you can manage each bite better. The B1 and B2 ended up being better, even though I think they may have forgotten the unagi that comes in B2. The cooked imitation crab was more flavorful and enjoyable to eat. More of a comfort food. The shrimp tempura batter had way too much batter (B1) and left me wanting less. In short, I would go here if I was craving a sushirrito because no one else makes them. Plus they're not too expensive. However, I don't think I'll be craving a sushirrito anytime soon. They're sloppily slapped together with everything except the balance and subtlety of japanese food. read more

Same concept as Sushirrito. Sushi Secrets is better than Torpedo Sushi in Downtown Oakland. The menu is pretty straight forward and everything is under $10. If any of their signature sushi wraps doesn't catch your attention then you also have the option to create your own perfect sushi burrito. 1) Select 2 types of fish 2) Select 3 secrets sauces 3) Unlimited add-on You can never go wrong by creating your own. They also have a rice machine that lays the rice evenly on the seaweed which I though was cool. It speeds up the process. Good luck finding parking. read more

I went during their lunch hours and they were fairly busy. The food was tasty. The salmon was fresh and the avocado spot on. They didn't skimp on the avo. I loved how hard working everyone there was and you could tell they really cared about what they do. read more

Why does everyone recommend the potted milk tea drink? I'm not a huge fan of mint, but this drink tastes funky. It tastes too minty. I expected a thicker consistency and more chunks of Oreos. For some odd reason, the drink tasted a little artificial, like there was some flavored syrup inside of it. I ordered B3. Overall, it was ok. The salmon tasted fine... However, tuna wasn't so fresh. The portions are smaller than I had expected. I'll be back to try the other rolls, but def staying away from that milk tea. read more

Supermarket-quality sushi at restaurant prices. It's just not...good. The workers seem nice enough. It was not worth the money.

I was at the Freight & Salvage around the corner for an afternoon show and got a hankering for lunch. F&S is chill with outside food, a good thing, since the lobby cafe is pretty basic - not much beyond beverages and cookies. So I ducked out at intermission and found this spot. No line on a Sunday afternoon, friendly service and fresh varied ingredients. The kelp noodles were new to me and definitely worth a try. Prices seemed low for the size and quality. It's not gonna change your life, but good and good for you. read more

Absolutely the best Sushi burritos we had in Eons. Awesome customer service, clean relaxed environment. Love to come back.

I'm all about sushi burritos! It's my favorite food, hand held to make it easier to eat! Sushi Secrets offers the typical sushi roll fillings with added unique ingredients such as honey walnuts and kimchee. Was it like the best ever?! No... but I'd definitely come back! I work in this area often and it's a fast food type restaurant. The food was tasty and cheaper than Sushiritto in SF. read more

I've came to Sushi Secrets once before and ordered a crab bowl and avocado smoothie and thought both were pretty good. The crab bowl had a lot in it (imitation crab and corn among other ingredients) and I couldn't finish it in one sitting. The avocado smoothie tasted like avocados so I enjoyed it as well. I went back again and ordered the popcorn chicken listed as a new item so I could compare it to Sweetheart Cafe. Although the pieces were less fatty than Sweetheart, it was also more bland and got extremely hard if you didn't eat it quickly enough. I ate about a third of the bag before I offered it to someone else to see if they wanted it. I also ordered another avocado smoothie. It again tasted like fresh avocados but they didn't blend it well enough so I was crunching on tiny (and not so tiny) ice cubes. They were pretty busy when I got there so I'll assume that's why they didn't blend it longer. They're quick with wrapping the sushi burritos and have a secret combo of any sushi burrito and milk tea for $9.99. There was only one table occupied when I went the second time as everyone else was taking their orders to go. I'd come back to give their sushi burritos a try since that's what they're actually known for but wanted to give a review on what I've had there so far. read more

At first we thought it was fine, but the fish tasted weird (Poke Bowl). But after eating, my boyfriend felt sick and he ended up throwing up all of it. The fish was not fresh and was definitely not good enough to eat. Please fix this as I am just seeing now more reviews on people getting sick. read more

Great prices for sushi burritos (in the Bay Area, at least), and good portions of fish. I really like the "Gunki" burrito. Polite and professional service as well. Thank you for keeping us fed during Covid-19! read more

This was my first time getting a sushi burrito. I've heard plenty of stories about the famous Sushirito, but never really heard much about this place. I finished yoga today and my friend wanted sushi so I looked up sushi restaurants in Berkeley and came about this place. To my surprise, this place had a decent amount of reviews and stars. First off, the selection comes in a variety. You can make your own, or you can have the pre -made ones. I got B1 the one with crab and shrimp tempura. I loved this one. The size is decent but I wish it was bigger. The price is 7.99 and if you add more salmon or raw fish, you pay a premium price for 9.99. In addition, after that, if you select regular and then get a milk tea, you can get a combo for 9.99. The guy working there in pink hair was awesome!! The service was so great! After you order, they bring it to you. There is free water there for yourself. In addition, they have plant tea which is something hard to find in the east bay these days. I didn't get to try the tea, but I have to say the sushi burrito was great! I loved the sauce in it, they put crab that is very fresh, shrimp tempura and cream cheese and an assortment of veggies. The only down part is parking. Parking is very hard, but if you bart, its super easy. read more

When I'm craving a sushi burrito, I always come here. There are plenty of poke bowl restaurants in Berkeley but not many sell sushirittos. Sushi Secrets, sell both poke bowls and sushirittos. For $9.99 you can get a sushiritto with two proteins and select toppings. The roll is big and will fill you up. My friend and I came in here starving after a bike ride and the sushiritto hit the spot. It's easy to eat on the go. I like the couches in the back of the restaurant with the coffee tables because you can relax and drink your drinks and even get some work done. read more

It was one of those scorching hot days where I was feigning for some cold sushi I was actually driving down the street and seen the sign to this place decided to park my car and go try it out I'm glad I did the food tasted great I ended up getting a custom sushi burrito I wish they had more options of things to put in. The place was actually busy with orders and they still were able to make my food in a great amount of time the price was higher than what it shows on yelp but it was still worth it only thing I wish is that the person rolled my burrito correctly because when I got home to eat it I seen that it actually wasn't fully wrapped so the whole thing just fell apart and I was forced to eat it with the spoon #MightAsWellOrderThePokéBowl read more

I wanted to give this place 4 stars, but after eating my sushi burrito #B8, I was very disappointed. The customer service though was superb and the burritos came out very quickly to my surprise. Keep up the fantastic work. I had B8 which consisted of salmon and a bunch of veggies and egg. It was nearly flavorless to me, although it did have a good amount of salmon in my burrito. BUT the salmon was extremely poor tasting, to the point where it gave me terrible stomach pains the rest of the day. The salmon was bad and you can tell by the taste and the color (I do not have a sensitive stomach) that it was not good to eat. The key to sushi burrito in my opinion is in the sauce, and the B8 was lacking incredibly in that aspect. There was almost no flavor and the bad tasting salmon left a sour taste in my mouth. I stopped eating 3/4 of the way and gave it to my bf. I shouldn't had, because he also ended up with bad stomach pains. However, one redemption factor that saved this place from getting a 1 star review was #B3, an item that my bf ordered. It consisted of both tuna and salmon. The spicy tuna was incredibly delicious and the sauce was heavenly. I highly recommend everybody to get the B3, although it is a little spicy (just a little), the sauce makes it worth it. Generous portion of meat. I've had better sushi burrito at a sushi burrito place in Oakland. In comparison to Oakland's, Sushi Secrets just does not compare. When Sushi Secrets opened at 12, all the sushi burritos were made by one person. He was making, from what I saw, 5 burritos at a time. It wasn't carefully put together and it looked like everything was just thrown at once. In Oakland, although the food takes a little slower to prepare, the care and presentation is significantly better than Sushi Secrets'. Please fix your fish quality. For a decent price of nearly $10, at least serve non-spoiled fish. read more

Sushi Secrets - B8 - Japanese Near Me - Berkeley, California

Came here with the bf on a Saturday afternoon. I've been wanting to try this place for few months now and since I was super hungry and running errands, decided to stop by. I ordered the B8(hehe because it had salmon) and my bf ordered the B1(had tempura and imitation crab). They made it relatively fast and the portion was huge!! The B8 had a very sweet and nice aoili that complimented the salmon inside. The salmon was raw sashimi and it was giant fatty chunks, which is what I love! The corn added a different texture to it, which was good. One thing I didn't particularly like was that they stuffed too much cabbage, in my opinion. My boyfriend loved his, he didn't even want to take with me haha. It basically tasted like a giant California roll. I mainly liked the fact that there was avocado inside, but not enough. There was way too much imitation crab in his. Each bite was majority imitation crab. The tempura was nicely done. Overall, I would stop by if I'm in the area for a quick bite. They also have drinks, but we were craving starbucks for more caffeine. read more

My daughter loves this place! Their takoyaki is delicious. And I built my own burrito for the first time today. Very generous portions. I felt like I got my money's worth for sure! Plus, the customer service is fantastic. Super kind people. It's what keeps us coming back again and again. read more

I used to spend a lot of time in Hawaii and yes I love poke. I also love burritos, and yes you can say I too love sushi! Sushirito, is not a thing for everybody. I can just tell you that, but if you fancy handrolls, wasabi paste, or honey avocado sauce, or california rolls...And you have an open palette you might as well give this place to try. Granted I feel like a place like this would only exist in California and with the variety of different foods and cultures in Berkeley it is a great spot to have sushirrito. You can come away with a customized Pokebowl or a customized sushi burrito. The Experience here was not memorable to me I just remember it being very dark inside, not very inviting. But compared to all the other establishments in the area I really wanted sushi. There was another sushi place nearby I would probably pick that one... but DIDNT. this worked for me. I'm not sure if I'm going to go back anytime soon, but the food is decent. read more

Sushi Secrets - Customized for your eyes - Japanese Near Me - Berkeley, California

THE SECRET IS FOOD POISONING. The secret here is you will get food poisoning and horrible service. This is Jerry who will call you a racist if you ask for a discount because of getting food poisoning. I was sick for 2 days, missed work and he was rude and dismissive. I've tried to give this place a chance after several bad experiences because it's good when it's good and it's near my work. I will never ever eat here again and I warn you: you may find yourself violently ill from their fish that is not kept safe to refrigerator or cleanliness standards. It was so awful I'm reporting it all to the department of health read more

I've been eating my way around the Japanese-inspired food scene in Berkeley, so of course I had to stop by Sushi Secrets! The restaurant itself is bigger than it looks and has seating in the back. There's a self-service water station, which is super convenient. However, the restaurant in general felt a little dirty. I don't remember exactly what I ordered, but it was a preset burrito with salmon and a lot of various spicy things in it. I generally adore spicy food, and can handle quite a bit, but this was kindof crazy. There was way too much sauce, and the paper wrapping the burrito was drenched. Because of the poor ratio, the burrito was way too spicy! It was to the point that I couldn't taste the fish, which just made me sad. The saving grace was the nice staff. My friend was having a hard time deciding what she wanted, and the staff were really helpful giving her suggestions. read more

This underrated poke spot is the best I've ever had! I've had poke in SF, South Bay, and even tri valley but this place is amazing! I always get the 2 protein bowl and it usually lasts me for 2-3 different meals! The staff is wonderful and they never go light with portions. Love them!! read more

I thought this was a pretty decent place for sushi burritos! I came here on a Tuesday afternoon at around 1:30 and there weren't really any customers there. I got B1 (a giant california roll essentially), and sat myself down there. The food was great! It was a bit pricey but it filled me up. I feel like the fried chicken (?) inside tasted a bit unfresh and very buttery so I wasn't a fan of that. But overall I really enjoyed it! The atmosphere was pretty laid back. It was really dim in there compared to outside. But the people there were nice nonetheless. read more

Came here with a friend for a sushirrito. Sushi itself was pretty good but the seaweed wrap was hard to bite through because it had gotten soggy and lost it's crunch. Ended up spraying rice everywhere a couple times before I gave up. My friend seemed to have no trouble with his so I guess I just got a soggy wrap? I'll probably stick with the poke bowl next time. read more

Was drawn by the soft shell crab sushi burrito, which was about $11 w tax. But there was a tad too much mayo and sauce and they left out my avocado, which probably wouldn't have helped w the texture that was thoroughly lacking in crunchiness. Hopefully the build your own poke bowls are better, since you can choose your ingredients and control how much sauce goes in but I wouldn't go back. Overall, meh. Would happily pay a little more for Sushirrito. read more

We have only used this place for take-out (poke and tuna bowls) and they have been solid. It's easy to order online and easy to pick up the order, especially if you know that the order is ready (from their message) and you have a driver who can hover on Shattuck while you run in and get the food. read more

The lady server on Saturday was quite rude to my husband and to me. We weren't sure if she remembered the order. She has an attitude problem. The lady server was being extremely rude and unprofessional. We were not pleased with her service at all. As for the food, we still enjoyed the B8 meal by adding unagi and seaweed. However, there were very little of the salmon in our meal. It would be great if you would change the video. My hubby had seen the same video since you guys opened this business. Parking is terrible in this neighborhood. Good luck with finding a space in a few blocks if possible. read more

I was feeling very hungry and forgot to bring my lunch at the office, so I decided to pop in and give this place a try. Sushi Secrets definitely fulfilled my sushi craving and surprised me with how good the food was. I got a tofu sushi burrito with spicy mayo and anago sauce and picked cabbage, carrots, cucumber, corn, and avocado as my sides. I really appreciate that they give you enough avocado and only charge an extra dollar for it as opposed to the usual two. The tofu was nice and soft and the vegetables were all very crisp and fresh. I especially loved the sweet corn. The anago sauce was sweet but not too sweet and had a nice umami flavor to it. The place itself was very clean and pleasant to sit in, and the staff were also quite kind. My order was ready within five minutes which was great as well. They have quite an extensive menu, so I'm looking forward to trying their other selections the next time I come. If you're in Berkeley and need some affordable Japanese food, look no further than Sushi Secrets! read more
