Sushi Man

FAVORITE CHEAP SUSHI PLACE!
I’ve been eating at this Sushi Man for many years. If you’re looking for good cheap sushi, this is the spot. Their shrimp tempura is always crunchy and delicious. If you’ve eaten at a KOZO sushi… their shrimp tempura is almost never fresh — it’s super disappointing. Sometimes their fish quality isn’t great… but you should expect that at «fast food» sushi place. The only time I didn’t enjoy my raw fish was ordering a Ika Nigiri.
This is a good spot for take out or dining in. If you dine in they’ll serve you on real plates with shoyu and wasabi dishes.
Wait time isn’t long usually and they serve shave ice!

Giving this place one star literally hurts my soul. Being a regular and having worked at a popular sushi restaurant before, I know first hand whether the quality of fish is up to par or if a tempura has kept out and re-​fried over and over again.
That being said, I went to Sushiman not once, but TWICE, on January 10,2015 (Sunday). The first time I went, I was with my cousin and we decided to grab a dynamite maki and a couple rolls to go before she headed to the airport. She placed the phone order and we were told it’d be ready in 10 minutes. Okay, no problem. We arrived 15 minutes later only to have to wait 15 MORE minutes on top of that because our food WAS NOT READY. So a total of 30 minutes for a maki and 2 hand rolls. Ridiculous, much? I think so. But fine, she was busy and working by herself so we didn’t make a stink about it but rather understood that she was working hard and told her to keep up the good work (although she did not even have the courtesy apologize for having us wait so long). On our way, while eating in the car, our teeth started hurting while eating the dynamite maki. The tempura was SO hard that it felt like we were chewing endlessly on solid rock candy. The «tempura» breading part was what was really hard and the shrimp inside was abnormally chewy. like gum. Uh… I’m not sure about you but I like my tempura crispy and FRESHLY fried. We’re young now, our teeth are pretty strong but THIS maki (as they call it) was NOT edible. We were in absolute disgust but let it slide, saying «maybe they just had an off day»…mostly because the owners are Korean and so are we. YEAH YEAH YEAH. That’s where we made the mistake. Letting it slide because they’re our «people» and we «protect our own». PFT. So after eating 2 pieces, we couldn’t stand to eat anymore so we threw it away without making a complaint or calling or anything. BUT, after I dropped off my cousin at the airport and ran some errands, it was early dinner time. I decided to give Sushiman another shot for dinner. ON THE SAME DAY. I guess I was just giving them the benefit of doubt and wanted to see if they actually make their food fresh to order or if ALL their tempuras were previously fried, then refried over again when ordered. So, for dinner, I made a big order since I had to feed my family. I ordered 2 dynamite manis, 2 tempura rolls, 3 red dragon rolls, 2 Philly rolls, and a spicy ahi maki. She then again said it’d be ready in 10 mins, but I arrived in 5, just to sit down and chill till the food was ready. 5 minutes pass, no food. 10 mins pass, no food. I ended up waiting an ADDITIONAL 15 – 20 minutes for my food, but this time she wasn’t alone. She had 3 helpers and STILL, I was kept waiting for a long time.
I SHIT YOU NOT. the tempura, OMG I’m gagging while typing this because I still have a bad taste in my mouth from it. Same. Rock hard, chewy, un-​edible, and absolutely unacceptable. We tossed more Than half of our order. This time, having spent about $ 50 on sushi we didn’t even eat or enjoy eating, I was upset. But not only was I upset, so was my mother. Now, my mother, she is not the type to EVER complain or ask to speak to a manager if her food comes out wrong. She’ll just keep quiet and eat it without even letting US know that she wasn’t satisfied or happy with her food. But for her to get upset to the point of calling Sushiman and speaking to the lady owner who made the rolls, it speaks in volumes. The point of her calling wasn’t to get free food, or the food re-​made, or even a refund (not that it was even offered). But simply to just «let them know for the fifties». Boy oh boy, you wouldn’t believe the response we got from the lady owner. She refused to take any accountability and kept cutting my mother off mid-​sentence, practically yelling over the phone without a single apology on her behalf. She kept asking us, «why didn’t you come back and return the food if you didn’t like it so much?» In a sassy, I’m right & you’re wrong kind of tone. BAFFLED, I explained to her that we live far. We didn’t get to eat the food till we got home and there’s no way I’m driving all the way back into town just to have her REMAKE me another one of the rock hard dynamite makis. She then went on saying that she’ll only make us ONE maki and two tempura rolls next time we come. UHMM. I would never return after our HORRIBLE Experience. Not only did the food taste disgustingly gross and nasty, but the fish was not fresh. I am currently writing all this while suffering from stomach pains after eating their sushi and I’ve been having the runs since. I understand that that may be TMI, but what made me more furious is the fact that her customer service skills were beyond poor and the quality&freshness of their food was nonexistent. Getting sick from their food, receiving the shittiest customer service and having been treated like WE were in the wrong, when we absolutely weren’t, I would NOT EVER recommend this place to a friend or even to an enemy.

Low quality poke bowl, over priced and the owner came and took the cover to my bowl to use for next customer

The dragon maki and spicy tuna are super fabulous. The only thing negative is the service! Slow and rude

The food is okay but the service was really disappointing. I ordered a kids bento B and she gave me some other bento B (she barely spoke English so that came into play). When I received the tray I told her it was a mistake and she refused to fix it. Good thing my daughter is not a picky eater. I ordered the family tray for my hubby and I and I noticed there were squid nigiri which I hate. I looked at the menu and saw that it should have been surf clam. I asked her to correct it and she said they were out of surf clam and I should just eat the squid! I said I hate squid but she insisted it was good for me and I should just eat it! Is she crazy? She should have offered a replacement of my choice when I placed the order. I will not be going back, even if its so close to where I live. It’s a little over priced as well.

It used to be good. Food was great, spicy ahi was spicy, and everything was fresh. My most recent experience there was terrible. Not only has the quality of their food gone from good to bad, but their customer service is horrible! Never going back there again!!!

Overpriced, low quality sushi. I’ve given this place more than one shot hoping that they could magically redeem themselves from prior visits, but they never seem to succeed. I’ve ordered different things from the menu hoping that I could find something actually worth getting a second time, but still no success. The only reason why I would go back is because it’s less than a block away from my apartment and that I don’t wanna deal with traffic.
As if the quality of the food wasn’t bad enough, the service is even more horrible. I’ve worked in the service industry for many years and having a sense of urgency was always top of mind… this is definitely not the case here. On my last visit it took me 15 minutes to get a simple 8pc nigiri set! The worst part was that I WAS THE ONLY CUSTOMER THERE!
Unless they drop their prices or get my food to me faster, I definitely won’t be going to sushi man anytime soon.

Looks like mediocre /​cheap sushi because we all tend to judge by the exterior. Yeah, everything is in little plastic boxes but it’s GOOD!!!
This is the best fast food style sushi I can remember having.

Never wanna come back here again. I have gotten sushi few times from here but salmon wasn’t fresh at all and it tasted old. Decided not to get salmon here. And this time I got Dragon maki which is eel sushi roll. There were 8 pieces but half of them didn’t have eel. Just avocado and sauce on it. This can’t be called dragon roll. We spent $ 9 for this. It’s not worth it. So we decided not to go here anymore. Convenience is not enough!

This place is rather good. It’s more of an average thing with low prices and a nice setting to sit in. I was looking for sushi to go and the cook provided it. I want to say that the sushi rolls were very nicely wrapped and tasty. Each piece had volume and lingered in my mouth well after I digested it. The menu is quite expansive and it does have a swell refrigerator with drinks in it. It’s more of an average place when one is in a hurry and would like quality in a simple bento meal.

This place isn’t the best sushi we’ve ever had, but it also isn’t the worst. The salmon based options are probably the best. The ahi they have is probably from younger or smaller fish. It’s always really light in color. It probably has to do with cost. It’s not poor quality by any means, just not now I prefer my ahi. Having said that, the rolls are good, but not something we will normally order. We’ve been here a few times since it’s right by our house.
Price wise, it’s about average. Overall, we like it. As with most restaurants, there’s stuff on the menu we like and stuff we don’t. The Philadelphia roll is really good. I feel like Philly rolls should have a refreshing feel when eating them, and theirs do. We also recently had the California roll with spicy salmon on top. That was delicious. Definitely spicy.
My biggest complaint probably? The last time I picked up dinner here, I asked for the Edamame to be warmed up. We just don’t like it cold. It doesn’t taste good. At first, the girl forgot to put it with my order. When I reminded her about it, she still gave it to is cold. U didn’t realize it was cold until we got home. I put it in the steamer and warmed it, which wasn’t a big deal. It was the fact that I ordered it, reminded her, and still didn’t get it right. Oh well.
We’ll be back for sure. Like I said. It’s nice and convenient.

Dynamite Maki and shrimp tempura California Maki are really good! The lady that makes it is really generous with the ahi she puts in top the dynamite. It also has a clean environment.

Average quality sushi. I don’t like the fact that I leave smelling like old fryer grease… Seriously, do they ever change their oil? Their «hellfire and brimstone» religious pamphlets are also a downer. Keep your religion to yourself when running a business, or you risk alienating customers.

I am a frequent eater but I will honestly not eat here again. I used to go for the convenience of it since I lived down the road. I eat there about 4 times a month averaging $ 25 – 30 a time.
My last experience, I ordered the nigiri bento. I bit into the ika nigiri and it was spoiled. I could taste the smell of it. Slimy and all. That goes for the ikura and tobiko.
The owner also made a big deal about giving me extra ginger. I didn’t have cash (mind you they have a $ 10 minimum for credit) and it was 30cents. I spent $ 30. He didn’t even give me extra being that I’m a regular there.
I also walked in when they (the owners) were having lunch with their friends. I waited a while for the wife to finally notice me and serve me.
NOT GOING BACK AGAIN.
TERRIBLE SERVICE, QUALITY OF FOOD LACKS BIG TIME

Sushi man is good if you’re looking for a quick sushi fix but you don’t want to go to a restaurant for it. It will satisfy your craving for donburi/​rolls/​hand rolls.
I ordered a spicy ahi don and a red dragon hand roll. The spicy ahi don was a bit expensive ($ 10). I felt that this was a bit on the pricey side, especially since the serving itself isn’t super big. The spicy ahi here is chunky so if you like your spicy ahi smashed up, you should check sushi co. It was also more spicy than mayo, which I liked but if you can’t handle spicy, you might not like it as much. The red dragon hand roll is a cali roll with spicy ahi and for $ 2.49 I’d say I would have preferred to order a few of these instead.
They keep the place clean and the food is decent. It’s nothing special but not bad either.

The ahjussi is extremely nice and his wife is even nicer! I love going there after work to fill up on some sushi.
Their spicy ahi handroll is the bomb. They also have great udon and dragon rolls. If you want something small, a handroll or maybe a spam maki is good. Also super cute. They also have shave ice and icees.
The only downer is that they can’t change channels on the tv.

The place is small but never too busy! They share parking with a bunch of other places so it’s hard to find parking!
The service is great and the place is clean! I always order the same thing the dynamite sushi roll which is a shrimp tempura with cucumber mayo wrapped in nori and rice with spicy ahi all over it! It is pretty spicy so be careful! They also have shave ice and icee for sale which is a plus cause on a hot day I love a icee!

This place is pretty good! I love their udon! And their spicy ahi hand rolls are delicious!

We would have liked to have been able to review the food but I think the older gentleman worker seemed too pre occupied with his newspaper to want to turn around to take our order. He should have known that we were there because I only asked another guy if he was waiting in line so loudly. I didn’t want to disturb the worker’s newspaper time so we decided to leave. As we were leaving then he decided to turn around but he didn’t say anything and went back to his newspaper. If customer service is this bad I would worry about the quality of the food.

no changes in interior or tv channel preferences. I feel like the owner is never in the mood of treating the customers nicely and i would appreciate some smile or nice word, since we are regular customers and come pretty often. His wife is very polite and nice tho, I like to come when she is taking orders.
the quality of sushi is still ok, the prices went up and unfortunately the price change didnt reflect on the quality or quantity of food.
