Normally, we order delivery from Sushi Time. This time, we ate in. What a delightful experience! From the samurai decor throughout the restaurant to the screens dividing each table to the sweetest wait staff, this place may just become a new regular outing. The food is always great at a decent price. The service and ambiance are the cherry on top. The next time you're in the mood for sushi that doesn't break the bank, I definitely recommend this cozy spot.

We are in town for a couple days and wanted to get some sushi before we left. This place was super close to where we are staying so we gave it a try. It was delicious! I'm from San Diego, and I've tried lots of different restaurants so I was pleasantly surprised. The service was great, everyone that helped us was very kind. Prices were decent and the decor was lovely. I have never seen such a large sushi roll menu!

Spicy California Roll & Chicken Katsu & Gyoza
Isaac H.

An amazing find in Seaside!! For $18.62, I got their lunch bento special, which was a good portion of spicy California rolls, chicken katsu, rice, salad and miso soup. The lunch special is customizable and you can pick from a lot of different sushi and meat. And during lunch, you get a free side of gyoza! In this economy, this is a steal! Great quality too! Great portions!

Tuna Roll
Devin M.

7.5/10 Came in for sushi and overall had a good experience, with some clear highs and lows. Sashimi was the star of the night, super fresh, flavorful, and honestly a must-get. 10/10. The tuna rolls were solid with a generous tuna-to-rice ratio, but the cuts were pretty uneven, as you can see, and the seaweed wrap was oddly sticky and getting stuck to my teeth (never had that happen before). Still tasty overall 8/10. Great sushi, just not the most precise cuts. Staff was kind and genuinely considerate, but the place was busy busy. It felt like the team was sprinting around trying to keep up. My order came out wrong, and everything was served at totally different times, which made the meal feel inconsistent. I honestly felt like helping them at one point. Small space, tight seating, and a lot of foot traffic around us. Decor was nice, but nothing on the TVs (no sports). Just okay overall. The sushi itself was worth it, fresh and enjoyable, but the service and seating situation could definitely be smoother.

If you haven't been to Sushi Time in Seaside yet, go ahead and cancel whatever plans you had. Dentist appointment, gym session, laundry day... irrelevant. Your new priority is eating here ASAP. Let's start with the Funny Bunny roll. Listen. I was not prepared for a sweet potato to come in and steal the whole show like Beyoncé entering a room. It's vegetarian, yes... but the flavor? The crunch? The "hello, I didn't know I needed this in my life"? Absolutely unhinged. Whoever invented this roll deserves a raise, a hug, and maybe joint custody of my future children (just kidding). Then we tried the Sake Blossom, which is basically a love letter to salmon. If you're a salmon fan, this roll will snatch your soul right out of your body. Soft, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth... the kind of roll that makes you close your eyes dramatically like you're in a food commercial. Next up: the Mango Tango. Tropical, refreshing, and honestly gave me vacation vibes. One bite and I was mentally on a beach chair with a drink in hand, ignoring my responsibilities. It's fruity, it's fun, it's giving "summer fling" energy... except this fling won't ghost you. Now let's talk about the people, because the food is amazing... but the service? Even better. The crew are so friendly and sweet that you feel you're getting diabetes. And Joe -- the owner -- is a whole ray of sunshine. Attentive, chipper, and such a humble guy. Bottom line: this place is a must. The rolls slap, the service is A+, and the energy is so warm and happy you'll walk out feeling like you just visited family... the good side of the family, not the ones who ask why you haven't popped another baby just yet. Run, don't walk. Your taste buds will thank you.

We visited this sushi restaurant last night, which is a place I've gone to many times before. It was a Friday around 6:30 pm and fairly busy, but when we arrived we were the only two people waiting to be seated. We stood near the front for several minutes and could see the staff and what appeared to be the owner looking in our direction, but no one acknowledged us or came to seat us. Shortly after, another couple with their teenage daughter came in behind us. The man quickly greeted them and attempted to seat them right away. When he realized there wasn't a clean table available, he asked them how many were in their party. The couple even looked at us and it became clear that we had been waiting there first. Despite that, he grabbed menus and proceeded to seat them before us. The couple themselves seemed a little uncomfortable and looked back at us again as it happened. I've always enjoyed coming here for sushi, but this interaction was disappointing. All customers deserve to be acknowledged and seated in the order they arrive. I'm not sure what the reason was, but it definitely left me feeling overlooked and uncomfortable. I hope the restaurant takes situations like this seriously because good customer service and fairness matter. I will say we enjoy the food but I'm not sure I'll be coming back anytime soon.

Kawai Roll
Vanessa L.

Located in a strip mall with decent parking, the sushi rolls were so good! The Totoro roll was bomb, like poke as a sushi roll. The kawaii was good esp if you like a good assortment of fish. My partner tried the tonkotsu, said it was okay but it was not their strong suit.

It's really nice restaurant! Food is good and people here are also really nice !!! I will visit this restaurant next time when I visit nor cal

Rude service can't even order without getting a insult!! Get better staff. OH YEAH also maybe don't put hair in my food.

I've been here 3xs so far, there is a local Dr who really likes this spot! They open at 11:30, so I always get there a little before 11:30, so I can place the order right at 11:30, so I can make it to the Dr office by 12. I always get rolls here and this time I asked the waiter for suggestions-he gave me a handful of recommendations. I went with one of his, "The Hakuna Matata roll" and then one that sounded good to me, "The Hamachi Daisuki roll". But I wish I would have gone with both of his suggestions, since the one I picked I didn't really like! But the one he picked was great!! They always have the food ready for me by 12:50, which gives me just enough time to make it to the Dr office in time.

I decided to try this place after passing it hundreds of times, and I'm sad to say I wish I kept on driving. I came to the restaurant around dusk for dinner service. There were a few open seats and was promptly seated by the folks rolling sushi. They do have high chairs for the kids and the bathroom was locked when I went back there, and they were gender-specific. I ordered the Agedashi Tofu and a Tiger Roll. The sauce that came with the tofu was underwhelming, but the tofu was nice, firm and crispy. The Tiger Roll wasn't the best. The rice had a mushy texture & consistency. For the price, I think I will return for other items. Price: $34 (w/20% tip)

Spicy tuna Tofu Teriyaki (D)

Wow - what a great lunch special! I had a bento box with salmon teriyaki and tuna roll. It included gyoza, rice, salad and miso soup. $16.95! Delicious perfectly prepared and service was friendly and fast! I'll be returning soon!

teriyaki chicken
Melissa N.

First off, I have to say the Studio Ghibli decor in this establishment is fabulous! I also liked the spacing of the tables in here.. it didn't feel cramped. Second, the waiter was super nice and the service was very quick. Third, the miso soup and the salmon roll that i had was AMAZING!! I'll definitely be returning for more. However, I believe my chicken was undercooked. I was told it was because of the marmalade it sits in, but I've never seen such pink poultry. I was nervous to eat it, but I had a few bites.. I was too chicken to eat the rest..no pun intended.. Needless to say the chicken teriyaki had EXCELLENT flavor, I just wish it could have been cooked either more well done or make a marmalade less pink.. the color makes for unappetizing chicken. I will return though 100%. Their sushi rolls were way better than any other sushi shop I've been to from seaside to pacific grove.

For special occasions, we've spent a few hundred dollars on takeout, so we've always considered this a place worth returning to. We came for lunch at 2:45 PM and were told the lunch menu had ended 15 minutes earlier, which we completely understood. However, the bento we received looked like about the same portion as the lunch menu, while we were paying around $10 more for the dinner menu. We asked our server simply for an explanation. After checking with the kitchen, the response was unclear and didn't really make sense. Then, without any explanation, the server suddenly brought us a roll that we hadn't ordered. That made me feel even more uncomfortable--it came across as though we were being given something to eat instead of being given a proper answer to a reasonable question. It honestly felt like, "Just take this and stop asking." We also spoke with another server, who gave us a much longer explanation, but unfortunately, it still didn't feel reasonable or convincing. There were plenty of words, but the explanation itself didn't really address our concern or make the situation make sense. At that point, it wasn't really about the extra $10 anymore. After thinking about it, I was honestly upset that I had paid around $30 including tax for such a small portion. The food here is already expensive, and we have always been willing to pay more because we genuinely enjoyed the quality. But when the portion doesn't feel worth the price and a simple question is met with such an unsatisfying response, the entire experience becomes frustrating. Unfortunately, this interaction completely killed my appetite, and I ended up eating less than half of my meal. After being a long-time customer and spending hundreds of dollars here for special occasions, it's especially disappointing to say that I don't think we'll be coming back again.

Fresh fish that is seasoned well and paired well with the right amount of seasoned rice. Plenty of sake selection to pair with your meal. Beers are cold and fantastic.

As we walked towards the entrance, we noticed the building looks to be a house converted into the quaint eatery. The greeter led us to a table on the far left next to the fireplace for our party of five. They really did an interesting display above the fireplace (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=120&select=r42btqKfvvKsIOYknRbdjg). We studied the menu and discussed how we would craft our meal and what to order. We agreed to do everything family style. We started with the beef asparagus (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=RlbIYWT6B9eQt-RagCVKig), 6 pc, an interesting appetizer with a tender, lean beef piece wrapped around an asparagus spear. We also shared the combo tempura (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=QNLssRbP07gLE1f9UXJygg), comprised of two pieces of shrimp and assorted be vegetables to that include sweet potato/yam, onion, and zucchini, I believe. This was okay as I had the squash and one of the shrimp. The two meals that we ordered came with miso soup and salad (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=QNLssRbP07gLE1f9UXJygg) and I enjoyed the soup for this slightly chilly noon meal. We shared the chef's choice sashimi dinner (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=72&select=gDhRF8lrf4084V0nlOwLRg), 16 pieces assorted sashimi - tuna, salmon, hamachi, scallops, shrimp, and surf clam; everything tasted fresh and the fish pieces were generous. Next, we shared the sukiyaki with beef (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=f40nJOx1Pt_G1i3TnJkHkQ), tofu + vegetables, glass noodles, soy-based soup; this came with a bowl of rice and we apportioned the sukiyaki into personal bowls to enjoy. I liked that the flavors were balanced and there as plenty of glass noodles. Our last item was the King Kong roll sushi (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=XMUp9bipmbbacgqUG13mRA), In - shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, and cucumber, Top - Tuna, salmon, yellowtail, tobiko, and secret sauce. We were their first customers and the dining rooms gradually filled to about 3/4 capacity by the time we left. There were guests dining at the outdoor tables too with the comfortably sunny weather. Both the hostess and a waitress tended to our needs in bringing our food, removing empty plates and bowls, and refilling our water glasses, both friendly and efficient. We enjoyed our meals and it was convenient. *** note - I started having stomach issues later that afternoon so, though not confirmed, I am unsure whether there was an issue with one of the sashimi items. Our meal was on Saturday 9/12/26.
