Back again to try their rolls. Worth it in taste size and price. Fresh fish. Generous sizing. Fish is fresh :) But I think I enjoy their sashimi and nigiri even more! Because it highlights their fish quality better~ read more

It was ok, but it didn't stand out as a place I can't wait to come back for. There are so many sushi places in the area. They have BOGO 50% off on the rolls, which was nice. The fish was fresh and the fish to rice ratio was good. Service was good. The server came around a few times to check and see if we needed anything else. Ambiance was pleasant, except the AC was blasting on us no matter where we sat. There was enough empty tables around that we changed our tables twice and finally gave up. read more

A great sushi spot! Inside you are transported to Japan which really adds to the nice intimate experience. The team was super friendly and very attentive, and the sushi chef knows what he's doing ! The fish was fresh and extremely flavorful. Miso soup and vegetable tempura were very good. They also have a promo on going for rolls buy one get 1/2 off. YU will be happy if u go here ;) read more

Sushi Yu - Happy hour. - Japanese Near Me - Alhambra, California

This place used to be called Sushi Me and now it's Sushi Yu. From what I can tell, the menu items seem to be the same and there's even some new additions. The sushi here has been fresh and tasty each time I have dined here. Some times I dine in and other times I take it to go. As you can see from the photos, I order a fair amount of items and they're all for me. Yes, I can finish all that in one sitting. What you see pictured are my overall go to items. Note that for the salmon and blue crab item, I have the truffle oil removed. I'm not a fan of truffle oil and I find that the taste is overpowering. Perhaps you may want to get the oil on the side or you may not taste the blue crab. Each time I've visited, it is never crowded. Street parking is also very easy to find. They used to have happy hour specials but I'm not sure if they still do happy hour after the change in name. If you're looking for a local decent quality sushi place, check this place out. The menu is so vast you're likely to find something that calls you. read more

I love the service here, their sushi rolls and sashimi are so fresh. There's not that much of a wait time and the place is great to dine with a group of 3-4 people or if you want to eat with a big party you would need to call ahead. Dragon Roll (crab meat, avocado, cucumber, baked eel on top): Eel was so soft and sweetly glazed. I especially liked the how the roll was packed with imitation crab. Baked Baby Lobster: Packed with warm mini shrimp and chopped up lobster and it's not heavily glazed with mayo unlike other places. I love that there was a lot of seafood that I was able to taste. Trio Sashimi (blue fin tuna, salmon, yellowtail): So fresh and so buttery! I usually don't like tuna, but this tuna was so good! There was no tuna scent at all. Their yellowtail catch was so buttery, I gotta come back for their trio sashimi plate again! Don't skimp out on their thinly sliced radish, so refreshing! read more

Our new local sushi go to spot! Whenever we want some fresh sushi, we can depend on Sushi Yu. We've been there 3 times now and every time we make sure to order our favorites: lemon roll, yuzu roll and seafood udon. Dont sleep on their udon, it tastes better than home made udon. No weird aftertaste in the broth and umami notes of shitake , chef's kiss! Honestly, I would just come here for their udon if I had an udon craving. Their tempura was also delicious. Their uni nigiri is also very fresh and buttery! The service is always so friendly and exceptional. Location is on Main st so after dinner, you can walk to boba or ice cream! I hope more people come and we can continue to enjoy Sushi Yu in the community! read more

Great sushi place. The staff was friendly and attentive to us throughout our visit. We were seated quickly without having a reservation. The ambiance was pleasant and not too loud. My boyfriend and I ordered a Sapporo while we looked through the menu. The garlic edamame was absolutely AMAZING! I will definitely be coming back for this. We also enjoyed the 911 roll, dragon roll, California roll and salmon roll. read more

"Really fresh fish and generous cuts. Everything tasted clean and well-seasoned. The rolls were also excellent--balanced and not overloaded with sauce. You can tell the owner really cares about sourcing and ingredients because the quality shows. The kitchen items were surprisingly good too; the bento and udon were legit and not an afterthought.

If you're looking for high quality sushi with amazing customer experiences, then this is the place for you. I hesitated writing this review because if everyone knew about our find, we would miss out on the special attention we get, but we all deserve to have amazing sushi and a few other kitchen items for those still not ready for sushi. We have just moved back into the area . We tried all the local sushi bars and this is our weekly place to go. Chef Shawn takes great care to create amazing dishes and is always willing to create something special for us. Tracy, George, Dafney and the crew are always taking great care of us. We hope you enjoy it like we do! read more

Sushi Yu - Albacore sashimi, vegetable tempura, Rainbow roll - Japanese Near Me - Alhambra, California

There are meals you enjoy, and then there are evenings you remember--and Sushi YU effortlessly delivered the latter. From the moment our party of six settled in, the tone was set by Daphne, our waitress and, frankly, the evening's unsung hero. Attentive without hovering, warm without being rehearsed, and genuinely radiant--both inside and out--she turned service into an experience. Every request was met not just with efficiency, but with care and a smile that made you feel like a regular, even on your first visit. The Food: A Playful Balance of Tradition and Flexibility The table quickly transformed into a vibrant spread: The Tiger Roll and Dragon Roll arrived like edible artwork--bold, fresh, and unapologetically indulgent. The tempura shrimp were perfectly crisp, shattering delicately with each bite (as any proper tempura should). The BBQ ribs added a smoky, savory surprise--unexpected in a sushi setting, but absolutely welcome. The bulgogi bento was rich, comforting, and deeply satisfying, bridging Japanese precision with Korean soul. But what truly stood out was the kitchen's willingness to go off-script. Knowing two of us didn't eat seafood, the chef crafted a custom vegetarian roll on the spot--creative, delicious, and honestly deserving of its own spot on the menu. We've already unofficially named it "The Peaky Roll"... and we stand by that branding. Atmosphere: The Subtle Art of Getting It Right The ambiance struck that elusive balance--lively but not loud, stylish but not pretentious. The music selection deserves a special mention: curated just enough to enhance the mood without ever stealing the spotlight. The Sweet Finale As if the night needed a stronger closing note, my sister sealed the deal with tempura green tea ice cream--a dessert that somehow manages to be both comforting and theatrical. Meanwhile, my mother enjoyed a warm, soothing bowl of tempura udon, rounding out the experience with quiet perfection. Final Verdict Sushi YU isn't just a place to eat--it's a place where thoughtful service, flexible creativity, and well-executed dishes come together in harmony. Between Daphne's exceptional hospitality and a kitchen that clearly cares about its guests, this wasn't just dinner--it was an experience worth repeating. Highly recommended... especially if you're lucky enough to meet Daphne--and if "The Peaky Roll" ever makes the menu, remember where you heard it first. read more

Sushi rolls were absolutely delicious! I really recommend the red zone roll and the albacore special roll!

Found out the restaurant is under a new ownership when family and I visited, now, Sushi YU. We were welcomed by friendly host. It appears menus and cleanliness has enhanced under the owner. We ordered: Roll on Roll (no pic), dragon roll (no pic), rainbow (no pic) and salmon blue crab; only pic we took. Everything was so delicious which is why we forgot to snap pics. Will be visiting soon again. Only thing we did miss, was the sushi chef. He alway stayed engaged with the customers. read more

I've been to this place three times so far and every visit was great! read more

Perfect, quiet spot for lunch on a Tuesday during jury duty break. A short walk from the Alhambra courthouse. The waiter was kind & efficient. As a single diner, he put me in a booth with a large table - I appreciated the extra space as the store only had one other table of guests. Bathroom available- not the cleanest, but glad to have access. The love roll had a little kick, but was fresh & delicious - and the plating was stunning. Avocado roll was solid taste-wise, but falling apart as I picked it up. Would go again if in the area! read more

Looking for a quick sushi fix! Sushi Me is your spot. Located on Main Street in Downtown Alhambra surrounded by numerous options for food, sweets, boba, and drinks. Decided to take my boys out for dinner. This was our second visit and it was just as I remembered it to be the first time. Parking: I live in the neighborhood so I just walked over. Street parking is limited but there are parking structures available close by on First and Second St, North of Main St. We beat the dinner rush so we were seated right away. There were a couple other large parties. One was a graduation celebration so the larger part of the indoor dining area was taken. Our drink orders were taken minutes after being seated. Food orders were taken shortly after. Before we knew it, our food was in front of us. I swear it was the fastest service I've ever experienced. Made me wonder if the rolls were all previously prepared and just sitting in a fridge. Luckily, it didn't take away from the taste. Appetizers: - Edamame: Salted and steamed. Always hits the spot. - Cucumber Salad: thicker slices than I'm used to. took away from the light dressing Rolls: - Dragon Roll: eel sauce and toppings were evenly layered. - My King Roll: fresh and tasty - Baked Baby Lobster Roll: a little too saucy for me, the sweetness was slightly overwhelming. The crawfish seemed overcooked, crunchy. I ended up removing a lot of it. Very attentive staff and sushi chefs behind the bar. Everyone was on their A game. Fast, friendly service. Quality, fresh food. Clean space. I'm sure we'll be back. read more

Came here the other night for a quick bite. The baked salmon roll was delicious and very filling. I loved the ambiance with the big screen playing Kpop music videos (with English subtitles). The staff were attentive and chefs were very friendly. Perfect spot for a fun date night or grabbing a bite with friends. Also, the menu has a pretty big selection including vegetarian rolls and no rice options. read more

Sushi no. I would've given this spot 3 stars but it gave me diarrhea so I had to minus one star. Needless to say, I will never order from here again. I ordered California roll, eel avocado roll and spicy salmon roll. The California roll had this weird taste to it. I knew I shouldn't have ate it. The rolls were badly wrapped too, the whole thing falls apart as I try to pick it up. read more

So I had been here before a long time ago for AYCE. This time however it wasn't. I'm not sure if I should've asked for that or if they took it away. Nonetheless the sushi was good ordered the baked baby lobster roll, firecracker roll and rainbow rolls. For appetizers we ordered the jalapeños bomb and assorted tempura. We really liked the baked lobster roll. It was the perfect blend of flavors. Prices are reasonable. The restaurant is clean and has a modern urban feel to it. We got seated towards the front of the restaurant by the window facing the street. The lighting was extremely dim up front and I found myself having to carefully read the menu up close. Personally I'm not a fan of very dim lit restaurants. Everything but the from of the restaurant had better lighting. Overall experience was good. Fast service! The waitresses and sushi chefs super friendly and were always smiling read more

The sushi here was absolutely AMAZING. I haven't had sushi this good in a long time. The rolls are very generous in size, and you definitely get your money's worth. I ordered the Alaskan Roll, and the salmon on top was extremely fresh, thick-cut, and clearly high-quality fish. The service was just as great as the food. Every staff member was friendly, attentive, and made me feel welcome. When we left, the entire staff thanked us, which really stood out and made the experience even better. This spot has officially earned a repeat visit from me. Highly recommend! read more
