    A lot of sushi places request that you pay when you're at the restaurant. They do not allow app or online payment. I am so glad that this place allow you to pay thru Uber eats and let you pick up the order yourself. The sushi was very fresh. I really enjoyed every pieces of it. Yelpers were absolutely right about the Jasmine roll. I am not really a fan of tuna but the Jasmine roll was amazingly delicious. I would order it over and over it. The fatty yellowtail was so fresh!!!! Seriously can't get enough...I finished that one all by myself hehhe the uni was okay...I believe it could be more fresh but overall, it was not bad. The other sushi was very good as well. It was very tasty. The rice, the avocado, the sauce and the seaweed were all fresh. I would definitely come back. Service was great as well!! I sat at the donut shop since it was closed already hehhe

    Don't know what the low reviews are about but I love this place!! I've probably been coming here off and on for years and stopped by recently to pick up take out. Their fish quality is amazing (probably one of my top 5 sushi places). It looks like they've switched to take out only due to Covid concerns. If you are looking for a new sushi take out place in the area, come here! Support your small businesses!!!

    Great job when packaging takeout orders. The containers are very sturdy and my food was still very fresh by the time it was delivered to my house. The food is reasonably priced and you get the quality you pay for. If you're craving some sashimi, they have the best Chirashi Bowl I've had since ordering delivery. Great portions, decent selection of fish, very fresh, and the sushi rice is good too. We also had the Rainbow Roll and some sushi, which were great as well. Overall, we had a good experience and will definitely be ordering delivery from them again.

    I ordered through this place via Postmares and noticed that the selections here are smaller but just a tad bit cheaper than the other place I ordered from previously. I ordered 2x tuna nigiri, 2x salmon nigiri, baked mussels, and 1x baked scallop roll. The nigiris had a good rice to fish ratio but it had that weird after taste that lingers for awhile. The salmon seemed fresher than the tuna pieces. The baked scallops were okay as well, it was kind of dry and didn't have a lot of meat to it. Maybe it would've been fine if I were to eat at the restaurant instead. The baked scallop rolls were coated in so much sauce the entire thing would crumble apart because of how soggy it was. It overpowered every thing but they were generous with the scallops. Thanks for the 2 Milkia candys though. I'll probably try something else for the menu to give them another chance.

    Yellow Yellowtail Delight Roll and Spicy Caterpillar Roll

    Ordered three rolls and the heart attack and they were SO GOOD oh my The century roll was my favorite, they put a generous amount of salmon on too unlike other sushi restaurants. The heart attack was spicy for me but my friends loved it, there's jalapeño in there and it's deep fried. Owners were very friendly and nice; cozy and clean vibes in the restaurant. Will definitely come back!

    I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who is craving sushi (or Japanese food in general), for the following reasons: 1) The food is decent - my dining companion and I both enjoyed our meal. 2) It's open until midnight (most nights). 3) The service is friendly, yet not overbearing. 4) Despite the small parking lot, I have always been able to find an available space here when I visited the other businesses at this strip mall. 5) They supply you with a menu that appears to have a photo of (more or less) every single item you can order - I appreciate this touch, as it helps me make more informed ordering decisions. 6) Their main outdoor sign (with emojis) gives me chuckles every time I see it. 7) The prices seem (more or less) reasonable for what you get. If the seats here were cushioned and comfortable (it was neither during my visit, unfortunately), I would have definitely given this place 5 stars.

    Tempura udon delivery: they put the noodles and the fried tempura all into the soup. When opened, it was all just a bloated sludge. 0/5...
    Clare S.

    I ordered Tempura Udon along with a few other dishes for delivery. Not only did they get our order incorrect with one of the rolls (this part is fine, it happens).. when I opened the udon, I found just a bloated sludge. They had not only dumped the noodles in the soup, but also stuffed all the fried tempura in as well. For delivery. Nothing was separated, so the noodles were bloated, and the tempura was completely drenched... the soggy batter just fell off onto the table when I picked up the tempura. One brain cell used to package our meal. These are just basics.. So lazy, so dumb. If this is their attitude towards their customer experience I'm afraid to spend money on any thing else they have to offer. 0/5 if I could.

    For those of you wondering why there are so many bad reviews for this restaurant. I can describe this restaurant in one picture (see picture). This is the first time ordering from Sushi Ya and my last. There was an Unidentifiable bug in my ginger when I opened the sushi container; gross! Needless to say I didn't want my $$$ to go to waist and was brave to continue eating. The fish on top of the roll smelled fishy but was soft to the bite... not good but ok. The minced "mystery" fish in the middle of the role left me with a lump in my throat. Moments later I was hugging the toilet. Sooo... not only do we have to worry about getting sick from COVID, now we have to worry about Sushi Ya killing us with bad raw fish swimming in dangerous bacteria. Word of advice stay away from there disgusting food or you may wake up in a casket.

    Food was extremely good ordered like 10 plate of sushi plus appetizers and only came up to $90. Owners were super friendly and talkative. Highly recommended!! The inside was small but super clean and feels like home.

    Dinner. Generous serving of salmon sashimi, half order of catapillar role, plum wine, and miso soup.

    Not sure why the low ratings, maybe because of the way the outside looks? Not sure, even I was skeptical when I saw the place. My first experience with Sushi Ya was through late night take out on a weekday. My bf did a search on Yelp and this location was one of the few sushi places that was open. He drove out and came back within 30 mins. I did not ask where he picked up the food bc it was one of those days that you just don't care and pray that the food will be good. To his and my relief, the salmon sashimi was fresh, soft, and buttery. The eel special roll was tasty - cold, warm, crispy at once. Sushi Ya saved the day that night. My bf took me to the place a week later, and was surprised to see how it looked, but everyone was so nice. They made me feel welcomed and at home. I recommend the plum wine. It is sweet, cold, and alcoholic. It is clear that this location is primarily for take out bc of the many orders we see being taken out by grubhub/postmates ppl. No complaints there! Now during covid-19, we have joined the order-to-go crowd by calling to order ahead and picking up. I do miss eating inside and will look forward to when we can resume our close to normal, pre-pandemic lives.

    I've probably passed by this Hole-in-the-wall gem in an inconspicuous plaza adjacent from Goodwill a million times and never once thought to walk-in. But now we're not dining in and while looking for takeout sushi near us this family-owned, long-established restaurant seemed like a good choice. We ordered chef's special sushi, California roll, crunchy California roll, smelt egg sushi, and a bento box with teriyaki chicken and mixed tempura. It was definitely enough for our family of four. Called it in (because...no Grubhub) and it was ready within 15min--Awesome! Food was yum. Kids even liked the shrimp tempura (amazing!) so def will be back for it. The teriyaki chicken was authentically grilled and not too sweet. The only thing I didn't think was great was the crunchy California roll...I can't tell if it was because it's to-go and therefore "soft" or if it's pre-made and reheated, but it didn't tasty crunchy or fresh. :/

    Ordered three rolls via doordash. The fish didnt taste fresh, but I managed to eat one of the rolls anyway as it came with a sweet sauce to mask the funk. Another roll, the Grand roll, arrived topped with partially cooked fish instead of the "fresh albacore" it was supposed to come with. Also, all the toppings were missing. Wont be ordering from this restaurant again.

    Terrible coloring, I hope I don't get sick from this.

    Ask the Community - Sushi Ya

    Been trying to order for the past few days and it keeps showing "the store is no longer available", is this place closed permanently?

    Is this place AYCE or no? cuz i went like 3 months ago and they said that they don't do ayce any more. if that is the case, why does it pop up under AYCE "find".

    This place no longer offers AYCE. It used to a few months ago!

    Osawa is 100% worth the hype, and if you haven't heard of it, let me hype it up for you…read more The place is small so be prepared to wait if you're trying to go on a Thursday-Saturday, or show up when they open for lunch or dinner. Ambiance is super cute, love the little flags over the sushi/shabu bar and the art on the walls adds to the Japanese restaurant feel. The aroma when you walk in is mouthwatering (I was really hungry) but it doesn't smell fishy like some sushi places can. Staff is unbelievably great, super friendly and helpful if you have any questions about the menu or want recommendations. Don't be afraid to ask what the MP is on omakase, they totally work with what you're looking to spend or based on how many pieces of sushi you want to eat. Now for the real reason to visit Osawa: the food is absolutely amazing!!! Fresh, tasty, perfectly portioned. From the shishito peppers appetizer to the sushi, sashimi, hand rolls, and shabu; I cannot recommend this place enough! They have plenty of sake options to pair with your meal as well as beer or specialty cocktails if that's your preference. They offer to explain your order when it arrives which is great for those newer to sushi or just trying something different. Seriously, some of those fish practically melt in your mouth. I personally haven't ordered any rolls yet but they absolutely look delicious. If you're looking for a good sushi date spot, this. is. it. It's also good for a small group, maybe up to five or so before you feel cramped. Shabu is seated at the bar and their meats and veggie are delicious and fresh, enhanced by the tasty broth. It's even good on a summer day because they have solid air conditioning. Cannot say enough good things about Osawa. Go try it for yourself. :)

    3-1/2 stars (bump up for the service)…read more I'd made a lunch reservation during the weekday, and I headed over as soon as it opened. I was seated right away, and I opted for a 10-piece omakase. However, it took a really long time for it to arrive, to the point that other patrons who arrived after me got their sushi before me. It was confusing, but eventually, I got my food. I'd asked to have the omakase come all at once, but for some reason, I got five first, then another five long after I'd finished the first half. In addition, I was not informed of the sushi pieces for the first half, so I didn't know what I was eating. It also took a while to get my complementary fried shrimp head and my black sesame panna cotta (the latter was absolutely delicious, honestly the highlight!). Service was really slow, but the staff were really apologetic about it, given that it was super busy (for weekday lunch)! However, I'd made the reservation for my birthday, and unfortunately, I found the experience disappointing. The sushi was okay, but I've had better; I found Osawa's fish to be a bit tough and the rice was slightly hard. Again, the black sesame panna cotta was the best thing I've had, and I appreciated that it was complementary for my birthday. Having paid over $109 for an average meal with extremely-slow service wasn't in my plan, but overall, I'm glad I got to try this neighborhood staple.

There's a few parking lots that are surrounding the place but they all require payment. I came here on a Wednesday night at 8 p.m. and there wasn't a wait fortunately! We were seated instantly next to two tables and I will say, it's an uncomfortable few seconds (for both parties) squeezing in between to sit down since the tables are so close together. I will say that the restaurant has a dark/intimate ambiance since it's lit by the candles at your table. My table ordered 2 trust me's and 1 nozawa trust me. You're served with a plate of edamame and then each fish one by one. They wait for the entire table to finish eating the plate in front of you before going back to the kitchen to let them know when to prepare to following dish. The fish literally feels like it melts in your mouth. You get a chance to chew but then everything else melts in your mouth. The sushi rice they use is magnificent. When the sushi comes out, the rice is so warm and the fish on top is cold and it's honestly an amazing experience in your mouth.

We were checked on a couple times but seem like the staff weren't fully paying attention as I asked for some extra utensils and my partner asked for the other dishes that our order comes with but they were all forgotten, requiring a 2nd request before receiving our items. Other than that, service was pretty good. It was great that the staff was friendly and quick. -- WHAT WE ORDERED -- Cheese Bulgogi ($25) Rainbow Roll ($18) Mango Cha Cha Roll ($20) Lemon Salmon Roll ($19) Salmon Bento Box ($21) Out of all the rolls, the Mango Cha Cha is the standout. From the pictures posted, it seem to be the most unique roll and the most popular roll to try. Highly recommend trying this as it has a great flavoring balance between the ingredients and the mango on top. MUST TRY!!!! The cheese bulgogi is also pretty underrated. Although a bit on the expensive side, if you like both combined, this is the dish for you. Love the variation of the dish, and it was also cooked to perfection. The bento box is great as well, presented very nicely, and portion is huge I'd say. A great box to eat on the go or at the restaurant. Not too expensive as well.

Supposedly there are Sushi Enya locations closer to where I reside on the west side, but I love Old Pas and the ambiance and quality of food here did not disappoint. The highlights of our meal were the Super Chirashi--which came with literally all of our favorite fish including a small spoonful of sweet uni and some extremely yummy tamago--the Cherry Blossom roll (a riceless Enya Special Roll, which means a dramatic presentation!) and the red snapper nigiri aka madai (served with yuzu paste and lemon juice). Although my husband felt that the amaebi was slightly slimy and wished that they served the hot sake in a way that kept the drink warm (you're probably wondering how I managed to survive his critical standards--you and me both!), everything else did not miss a beat. We noticed other customers were enjoying the omakase--the premium at the bar is $250 pp and the "lower" tier table omakase is $185 pp. everything looked delicious but I am also a control freak and enjoy being able to select what I want. With that perspective, the chirashi really was the way to go for me (and next time I'll just add on another order of uni!). In the end, Sushi Enya may not end up being our go-to omakase, if only because their other offerings are so good!

First of all, we made a reservation for 6 people - 4 adults and 2 babies. We asked for one high chair and they said they dont have any available. Turns out, the entire restaurant only has 1 high chair. They ended up offering us a booster seat 10 minutes after we had settled in as if they forgot they have that in storage. We ordered a few sushi rolls and nigiris. My husband and I opted for the Chirashi bowl. While it was nice that the chirashi bowl had roe on it, the size and the amount of fish on it definitely did not justify the $35 price tag. If I knew i had to pay this much, I probably would've opted for Mills Allley which is nearby with better options.
