If you're looking for a small, welcoming spot with an amazing atmosphere, genuinely great people, and consistently outstanding sushi--this is the place. Every time you come back, you get the same incredible quality you remembered and kept thinking about. That kind of consistency is rare, and they absolutely nail it. I can't recommend this place enough to anyone who loves great sushi. Easily the best sushi spot in the area. read more

I really enjoy the omakase here. They are prepared fresh with good ingredients. My kids love getting various rolls. We also like the salmon kama that they sometimes give out for free (it's been inconsistent, we don't know when they give it out free but have gotten lucky half the times we're here). Good service. Easy parking in the lot. Seating is very limited, so I recommend you go earlier than normal meal times. We came at 5pm for dinner and there was no line and food came out quickly. We like walking across the street afterwards to get icecream. It's good exercise after a fulfilling meal and a nice treat too. read more

Consistently delicious each time I dine here, whether it's with my besties or my fam, we always have a yummy meal. Small interior so get there early if you want a seat! Love their rolls - good quality fish and light rice ratio. Ichiban, 49ers, Warriors, Dragon, Alhambra- can't go wrong with any of their rolls. Their bento boxes are also fire with ample portions. Excited they have toro on their menu now, but they ran out the day we were there. Will be back for it next time! Thanks Julie and team for hosting us (especially my toddler who throws things), amazing food and for the wonderful service! read more

Take out from Sushi time! The freshest fish!! White roll and warrior! We also had the chicken yaki udon- very different flavors than other yaki udon we have had. Peppers, broccoli, zucchini and the flakes like on taki balls. I wish there was more chicken. read more

This place definitely gets packed, mostly because there isn't a ton of seating. There are only a couple of outdoor tables, and during the summer heat, I honestly wouldn't recommend sitting outside. That said--this spot was a pleasant surprise and honestly feels like a bit of a hidden gem. I didn't expect the sushi to be this fresh, but it really was. The quality was excellent, portions were generous, and the presentation pretty much speaks for itself (the photos don't lie). Service was decent--nothing particularly memorable, but it was efficient and got the job done. The real star here is the food. We had to wait a bit because it gets busy, but once we were seated, everything was worth it. I especially loved that they offer omakase, and the hand rolls were stacked--full, fresh, and seriously delicious. Overall, if you're okay with a bit of a wait and limited seating, the sushi here is absolutely worth it. Come hungry and be ready to take photos. read more

We found this place online and decided to give it a try. The restaurant itself is a bit small, good for small groups of up to four. And you can use the tablet to put in an order. We ordered the Omakase, the dill roll, and the baked unagi roll. The fish was fresh and delicious, but their rolls were a bit too heavy in flavor for me. I had to keep eating ginger to cleanse my palate. read more

We came across Sushi Time on reddit of all places, and wanted to give it a try. The shop itself is quite small, probably only 6-7 tables, but when we went on Saturday afternoon, we were able to get seated immediately. We ordered the omakase, the dill roll, and the baked unagi roll. The fish were all quite fresh. A decent spread on the omakase, from scallop, seared tuna, shrimp, regular tuna, and I believe a tuna roll. The baked unagi roll was heavy but not in a bad way, just a lot of sauce and quite large. The dill salmon roll was pretty good as well, salmon was fresh but I wouldn't say it necessarily wowed me. Overall, not a bad sushi place read more

This place is SO delicious! The best sushi, edamame, miso soup, really everything! The service is also unmatched.

AMAZING. I don't know what made us special, but the staff certainly made us feel that way. That salmon collar, we didn't order it, they told us it was on the house...ON. THE. HOUSE . We ordered sashimi, however no pic because we inhaled the pieces and we were given 2 extra pieces for whatever reason. And the cut looked more like mega blocks than slices, so fresh! We did not leave any leftovers but we were satisfied. Would definitely go again. read more

Amazing as always! This place delivers consistently excellent sushi--super fresh, and just look at the picture to see how thick their sashimi cuts are. It's not only fresh, it's truly a great value. I ordered four pieces of sashimi, the katsu curry with an add-on of California roll for an additional of $5, and it all even came with a salad. The pork in the katsu curry was juicy with two thick, satisfying slices. Not to mention they gave me free tea. So generous. Service was outstanding--the true definition of great customer care. The ambiance is cozy, welcoming, and very clean. Highly recommend! I love this place and the owners!!! read more

Sushi Time - Shrimp Tempura Roll - Japanese Near Me - Martinez, California

See all

Disappointed and not what we expected based on the other good reviews posted here on yelp! Location: small corner restaurant with some table seating inside and I think the table outside is theirs also but not sure since there is another restaurant next to them. Not good for large parties (5+) Service: Placed order for pick up, gave my ph# and had to spell my name twice. It was nice to get a text saying my order was ready but when I picked up and said my name, the employee looked confused and couldn't find my order. The issue - who ever took my order entered my name completely wrong and not even close and should have verified by the ph# and items ordered. Food: The sushi rice used tasted old for the rolls and the plate, the lemon used for the 49er did NOT taste like a lemon but more orange like even the color was different. I don't know how fresh the salmon was used for the nigiri and roll but it had an off putting texture and taste (not even like a farm raised salmon flavor). The Julie's Favorite roll says it has tempura flakes on the outside but if you look at my photo, it was drowned in it probably to cover up the salmon used. The menu is misleading because it doesn't describe if sauces are placed on the rolls, so we didn't expect sauce on the shrimp tempura roll. read more

Convenient, fast, clean and delicious should be the name of this place. This is such an easy spot to get to and enjoy some delicious sushi when the craving hits make sure to stop by this place. When you sit down the menu is at the table and digital, making it easy to order and add to your order. 10/10 read more

This has been on our to-go list for quite some time. Excellent reviews and not many recommended sushi places in this area of East Bay. We went on a Friday night and there was a bit of a line. Took about 25 minutes to get seated. Their service is actually quite fast, but they have very limited indoor seating: 3 four tops and 3 two tops. They have a couple tables outside as well, but it was a bit chilly that day. For ordering, everything is through a fancy tablet at the table. We picked a few things and our food arrived within minutes. We ordered two rolls, a baked roll, and an Omakase. I was blown away by the quality of the fish. Everything was great, but I would most recommend the Omakase, which for $49.99 is fantastic. On top of all the sushi, the meal came with complimentary Salmon Kama. Everyone in our family loved this and the portion was enormous. The Kama was fried golden, crispy, and well-seasoned. Better than the vast majority I've eaten in the past that I had to pay for. Top notch - easily my favorite sushi experience in the Bay Area east of Oakland. read more

Everything is fantastic, from the very pleasant and welcoming staff to the delicious food. Always a great experience!

Sushi was super fresh tasting! The salmon melted in my mouth and was not fishy at all! The tempura was a huge plate, enough for at least 2 people! The seaweed was a tiny bit stale maybe but still tasty! The staff was friendly and attentive although it is a small place, it started it fill up and lots of orders being picked up! I will return to try rolls but I was really sold on the plate! read more

Cute little hole in the wall. The place is small, but don't let the size fool you. One of my favorite go to sushi spots. The service is always friendly and the food is great. No matter what you order on the menu, you won't be disappointed. read more

Finally got a chance to stop in & so glad we did! Ordered the Snowman roll, Tiger, Mega & Dragon along with a Salmon skin handroll & some gyozas. All was super fresh & delicious! Staff was amazing & quick & although a little tiny inside, there were several people enjoying their food there. Didn't have our deep fried oysters as I had thought (saw them on another review, maybe it was a special menu item at the time) so we ventured elsewhere to grab those on the way home, but can't wait to return & try their other rolls! read more

Another hidden gem in Pleasant Hill for sushi. It's a small place in the corner of not-so obvious shopping area. But the food they serve is excellent! Been here 3 times already and it never disappoints. All kinds of sushi plates as what you would expect. Service is very responsive and ordering is quick through the touch screen.

Small joint but quickly became our family favorite neighborhood sushi joint! Sometimes packed so plan ahead! Top notch chirashi bowl!

This might be our new favorite sushi restaurant in the area! My husband and I ordered the Floresta, Cherry Blossom, Little Nemo, California, and Rock n Roll. My favorites were the Floresta and Little Nemo; my husband's favorite was the Rock n Roll. The sushi rolls had the perfect ratio of fish to rice (i.e., not too much rice). read more

Sushi Time exceeded my expectations! The quality of the fish was outstanding--so fresh and flavorful. Quality was as great as Japan's sushi. I also really appreciated that they use real crab meat, which made a huge difference in taste and texture. Everything was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. On top of that, the service was top-notch. Toby was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. Staff was so sweet to even give us a complimentary hamachi Kama. If you're looking for high-quality sushi with great service, this is definitely the place to go. I'll be coming back for sure! read more

No pics, but wow! I've heard about this tiny place for a while and finally went. Great fish, phenomenal service. The Julie's favorite roll and the Toro were stand outs.

Our go to sushi place! Amazing food and friendly service every time. The restaurant is quite small so not great for bigger groups though. They also have a small area for outdoor seating in the shade, nice for warm days. Pictured: OMG roll - 5/5 MUST ORDER, one of my fav rolls ever! Poki bowl with rice - 5/5 also one of our fav things to order here. Comes with lots of tuna and salmon on a bed of veggies and rice. The sauce they use is amazing! Warriors roll - 4/5 packed with lots of fish Rock n' roll - 5/5 can't go wrong if you like unagi Fried Salmon kama - 5/5 very fresh and perfectly fried Bonus: they provide kid plates and make learning chopsticks for little ones! We've dined in a handful of times and got pleasantly surprised with some complimentary items. Never expected because it doesn't happen all the time but always such a nice treat when it does! read more

We finally tried Sushi Time after seeing all the rave reviews on a local FB page devoted to local restaurants. This place is quite small, maybe 6 tables or so located across from the Virginia Shopping Center. At the table you order from your kiosk (ipad), everything from water to your plates. You should order as you go (wish I knew this) so your food comes as you order it. Wait staff is super friendly and if you need anything just let them know. We ordered several rolls and the Omakase which you place with the server as it is not on the menu. You must order the omakase if it is available. It was ahhh mazing. So freaking good. I could eat this all day. The rolls were great too. We also ordered the katsu curry. It arrived piping hot, crispy. We enjoyed everything and would come more often if it was closer to us. Highly recommend, amazing sushi! read more

I heard a lot of good things about this place and wanted to try it out! The restaurant is quite small, but there is plenty of parking in the parking lot. The waitress was very kind and attentive! I got a wakame salad which was different (yet pleasant!) from the others I've tried because it was light on flavor. My husband got the crunch philly roll and he really liked it and said it was one of the better ones he's tried within the area. He also liked that it was thinly cut. We also brought our 1-year-old son, and they were quite accommodating with high chairs. We did go during lunchtime on a weekend and were lucky to get one of the last few seats. I would plan ahead if I were to go during lunch hours. But other than that, great spot for Japanese! read more

I love Sushi Time's casual atmosphere and value of food. We've dined in for lunch and we've gotten takeout for dinner, and all our visits have been excellent. Great assortment of items from appetizers (their version of a stuffed jalapeño and stuffed mushroom = yum), sushi (nigiri, Chirashi bowls, numerous rolls, etc), udon, and hot kitchen items (curry, katsu, etc.). My kids really enjoy their tempura udon, chicken karaage, and California rolls. Usually they aren't too into the veggie tempuras, but they somehow eat the ones here. They don't eat the mushroom piece, so that ones mine. The husband isn't too into noodle soups and raw fish items, so he would get things from the hot kitchen menu. He's tried the katsu curry and he enjoyed that, but wished there was more of a protein option than just tonkatsu for the curry. He's also tried the salmon katsu, and that was pretty good, though just with steamed veggies and rice, and some sauce on the side. My personal faves here are the rolls. I've tried their ichiban roll (hamachi, avocado, cucumber on the inside, and unagi, hamachi, tobiko, and scallion on the outside), warriors roll (spicy tuna and cucumber on the inside, and salmon, scallop, tobiko, and scallion on the outside), and their lion king baked roll (imitation crab and avocado on the inside, and salmon, tobiko, and scallion on the outside). All were so good! The ichiban roll was super fresh tasting, a lighter end roll. The warriors roll had a great amount of salmon on the outside and it was excellent throughout. Their baked rolls were packed with flavor from the sauce as well. So good and can't wait to try different rolls each time! Service was attentive and pretty great too. They do online ordering, but cannot set a pick up time just yet, so we called to do the takeout order instead. read more

Came here around 7 PM on a Friday night. It was packed and there was a line of people waiting outside. We scanned the QR code to add to the waitlist. I highly recommend doing this via that Yelp app before you get there. I think we waited almost 40 minutes for a table for three. The inside space is small and cozy. But the food was definitely worth the wait. Prices seem somewhat normal, the rules are $15-$16. The sashimi was $$30. The fish is very fresh. And the rolls are not jampacked with rice like some sushi restaurants' rolls. Service was fine. They were super busy. We were almost done eating, we had to remind them that we were still waiting for our sashimi. They came by around 8:15 PM to ask for additional orders before their kitchen closed. That was a nice touch, I have been to other restaurants which doesn't do that, only for us to find out later when we try to order more food, the kitchen is closed We will definitely come back. read more

An amazing sushi restaurant! This location used to be home to Okini Ramen (and before that Okini Sushi, which moved down the road on Morello next to Kinder's BBQ). I was sad to see these restaurants go/move, but I'm greatly pleased with this new establishment. The sushi here is amazing. The rolls are so fresh and delicious. I had the Green Dragon roll and the rainbow roll and they were both so good. The green dragon roll had fresh and crunchy shrimp tempura along with a nice healthy serving of avocado slices on top. The eel sauce was delicious and completed the roll. The rainbow roll had fresh and delicious raw fish on top. One of my favorites and I'd definitely go back for it. The sushi here is definitely worth the price. The staff are also very friendly and helpful. I got catering done here for a party and the waiter helped me pick out the perfect rolls for the people I was serving. They helped so much and I can't thank them enough for that. Please come try this sushi place the next time you're in the area. You won't regret it. read more

Sushi Time - White Magic Roll (left) and Orange Blossom Roll (Right) - Japanese Near Me - Martinez, California

Thanks Facebook group! Great recommendation :) Gracious hostess and chef treated us to some complimentary miso soup and shrimp dumplings as they recognized it was our first time there. Both real tasty! The fried shrimp dumplings were house made and had nice sweet garlic flavor. We ordered 3 rolls: Alameda, Red Dragon, and Ichiban. I liked the good balance of sauce to taste of the fresh fish. The Hamachi in the ichiban was real sweet & creamy. The spicy tuna on the Red Dragon was real fresh and not overpowered by spice; quite refreshing. The Alameda had juicy soft shell crab and nice portions of rainbow assortment on top. I like how they cut wider slices of fish as the flavors stood out in each bite. Great birthday & celebration of my new job :D Note: Omakase is only available as the seafood is available; no particular day. Interior has less than half a dozen tables plus outdoor patio seating. read more
