Overall it was good. The sushi was fresh and the staff were friendly. They seemed a bit overwhelmed but they made it work. There isn't a lot of sashimi on the AYCE menu which is a bummer. The sashimi salad and seasoned sashimi were the only options and you can only order them one time. If you like rolls and nigiri it is worth a try, but if you prefer sashimi there are better options with less restrictions. All of the really good cuts are limited to one order per person. read more

Trini and JJ provided us with the best dining experience! We always enjoy dining here, but tonight they leveled-up and took the time to make it an especially positive dining experience. Trini took the time to explain the all you can eat sushi menu, we had great conversations, which made us feel very welcome and she was very generous! Can't wait to come back! read more

My grandson wanted to eat here for his early graduation! We come here once in a while. We started with a couple of appetizers that were delicious. We had edamame and dumplings and miso soup. They were very tasty. Well all the food was great! What we enjoyed was the hot plates they use for the teriyaki chicken and the galbi short ribs! The sautéed onions were very tasty and sweet. All of the family enjoyed the meal. Service was a bit slow but the house was packed! Waiters did their best! Music was low enough to enjoy the table conversations. read more

We needed a new East County sushi spot to frequent, and Yi Sushi did not disappoint! Prices and quality are great for this economy. The flights are a great deal if you want to try 4 different rolls but for the price of 2 (or less)! Husband really loved his Sushi Flight C - the Guapo Roll was good and spicy. I enjoyed my Philadelphia roll (I like a good basic Philly, ok?!) - thin cut so that's why my photo has so many pieces. Only critique is that for both of us, a few of the pieces fell apart when we picked them up. Daughter had the Original Miso Ramen, which she liked but thought the broth was just a little too salty. It looked great with the soft boiled egg included and good amounts of pork belly. Service was very friendly! It was a quieter night, not too many customers, and the two servers came by often to make sure we were good. Love that they provide a small pitcher of water for every table - much more convenient for the customer imo! We arrived at 6:50pm, and they allowed us to order whatever Happy Hour items we wanted for the last ten mins of happy hour. (I believe 4-7pm everyday.) The nigiri was so good. Beautifully cut and portioned well over a small bit of rice (as it should be)! A very happy discovery. We will be back! read more

We arrived at Yi sushi for dinner around 6pm, there was plenty of parking even though they had some of the parking blocked off for construction in the area. We were greeted right when we came in the door and asked to sit anywhere. When you sit down, they immediately bring over the menus as well as an ice cold pitcher of water to go along with the two glasses on the table. I ordered a raspberry iced tea and my husband ordered a sapporo beer. We ordered the sushi combo C and an appetizer of gyoza. All of the food arrived very quickly and it was very fresh. The gyoza was very hot and tasty. All of the rolls in the sushi combo were very delicious and not overpowered by sauce. Yi sushi has reasonable prices and the servers are always very friendly. read more

I wanted this to be a better rating. I was excited about there being a solid AYCE place in El Cajon but I was really disappointed when the pricing was convoluted and confusing. There were several rules explained verbally that weren't present on any of the physical or digital menus. And then they turned away our order for our daughter from getting the premium options because she's a kid. Kids don't eat very much and it's limited to one item on that section of the menu anyway. It was the pettiness of not allowing one kid, one piece of ikura nigiri (for a $20+ charge mind you) that was just ridiculous. It's not necessarily a moral outrage here, just a really petty way to do business. We left and headed to Itacho in Clairemont. Our waitress was very kind and hospitable. I would recommend that management set up their wait staff better with clearer rules for their AYCE and help them out by not having petty rules for kids. As a frequent sushi family, a piece of nigiri really isn't worth the loss of long-term business. I sincerely hope this feedback helps. read more

This place is so good. Especially for the price, I get a roll here for way less than some places and it tastes twice as good. Their appetizers are super good too and the rice is so flavorful. Honestly just everything I've tried here is fire read more

Good Evening! I Have been going to Yi Sushi for a Year Now, The Food Is Good, The Customer Service Is Good, The Service Is Good, The Ambiance Is Good. However lately the Quantity and Quality of the Food itself in General has been Less satisfying, I understand Food Cost etc, A Restaurant should always Deliver Quality Food, and Customers should always get what they paid for, Hoping I have a better experience next time I may visit. read more

I've dined in before and had a good experience. Ordered to-go today, and this was in my edamame. Still can't identify what it is. read more

Pretty solid place! I've never actually dined in here even though it's a very cool & clean little spot, but everytime I call in or order togo, am not disappointed. The rolls are always tasty, fresh, and made with care. The staff is always nice enough to give extra sauces when asked. Overall tasty, convenient & close to home! read more

Food was excellent and Trinity was a wonderful server! The food always tastes so fresh and made so quickly.

We ordered the family combo to share between three people which includes your choice of two small plates (appetizers), four rolls, and two meat entrees. This was more than enough food for us to have leftovers to take home. My favorite roll was the Garlic Tuna featuring seared tuna and fried garlic crisps on top. The spicy chicken bulgogi came out sizzling on a hot cast iron plate and was flavorful without being overwhelmingly spicy. Considering how much you would spend if every person bought individual rolls and meals, this was a great deal. read more

First time sushi person, great food, great atmosphere. Staff was very kind. There's a huge variety on the sushi too.

Very delicious sushi and other foods, the price is nice, there are many deals like happy hour, and if you're lucky 50% off everything. Everyone that I heard of who has been here said they enjoyed it very much. It's not busy and the waiters are very kind and welcoming. The whole restaurant has a nice theme to it that is very welcoming. Lots of options on the menu that aren't expensive. read more

We came in here a few weeks back and we were seated quickly as no one else was in the restaurant. It was beyond FILTHY. The tables were sticky and there was trash and food scraps on the floor. The walls and paint were peeling and gross. I can't imagine how bad the back is if the front is this gross. We didn't order anything and got up and walked out because we were so GROSSED out. Clean up your place, it's not sanitary to have trash on the floors and rotting fixtures. read more

The service was great, the rolls came out fast and well made. The dishes are beautifully crafted yet well within teens price ranges. Definitely will be back. read more

I order the combo c and the avacado and salmon roll. The price was decent and average. I went here after I saw a comment saying it looks better than the pictures, loooks are deceiving since most all the sushi I ordered was bad. The only roles that were good were the shrimp tempura ones since there's not raw sushi. The salmon and avocado roll was old or the salmon was not sushi grade ! The salmon was mushy and tasted so bad and old. The avocado tasted like it was bought ahead of time. Spanish- this would've been good if the salmon was good . The salmon on top tasted slimy and old. The spicy tuna on the inside was very old and not consumable. "No name"Spicy Tuna, Cucumber- this was terrible the spicy tuna tasted old and mushy couldn't swallow it bare the taste College this was good nothing special and no issues 7/10 Guapo-I had no problems with this one and actually recommend this one 8.5/10 I also placed an ordered picked up and ate at home so unfortunately I paid full price with no refund, ofc that's an issue on my end. I wouldn't come back here after my first experience . read more

Tuna tataki and seafood croquette was delicious. All the fish was very fresh. The R&B roll was my favorite.

We walked in and it immediately smelled like sewage. Found out it was coming from the restrooms but the whole restaurant smelled. Service was good, they didn't make an issue about us asking for the cucumber salad to be taken off the bill (it had a very strange after taste). We got sat and got our food quickly. We began to get grossed out from the smell and the fish tasted off. Did not finish our food. Floor was dirty, table and menus were sticky. Left feeling like we had a responsibility to warn others not to come here. Stomach is currently fighting for its life. My husband and i will not be back read more

STRAIGHT DIARRHEA. First off, the service was great. The server and chef were super friendly. Second, the one star rating... It's for the food. Maybe it's just because I'm used to more higher end quality sushi... but this food gave me and my partner diarrhea as soon as we got home. It was bad. Real bad. In terms of the sushi flavor, over salted. Squid nigiri was a weird consistency. The rice was definitely not cooked correctly. I had a slice of lemon on one of the rolls that was so bitter I had to spit out the roll. But the spicy garlic edamame was good. read more
