    Cheap, simple, and honestly really good. The sushi hits that perfect "no-frills but delicious" zone, and the fish tastes just as fresh as the pricier spots. Think California-style rolls, rainbow rolls, a little eel here and there, and just the right amount of crunch. If that's your lane, this place delivers. Yum.

    I went to this restaurant yesterday with my family everyone was happy there we received really good service. The food was great. The sushi seems super fresh. The fish that they served on the sashimi plate was extremely large and good sized and very filling. I highly recommend coming here for good sushi. I didn't take any pictures because we ate it all. I also ordered the bento boxes which are very reasonably priced and a lot of food. They are miso soup is also very good thank you again.

    This is the go place when eating Sushi with my boss. He loves this place and I can't complain, the staff is always super friendly and knows we always ask the chef to surprise us with something yummy. We really enjoy coming here for sushi during working hours. If you're ever in the area, do give them a try. Their food is delicious.

    Always my favorite go-to place for sushi. Been eating here for years. Really good sushi with fresh fish, great flavor, and generous portions. Good vibe, the service was also friendly and attentive. The rolls were super tasty and the ingredients tasted high quality. Definitely a solid spot for a satisfying sushi meal.

    Great to-go experience from Ahi Sushi & Grill. We've dined in many times before and always had great experiences there too. Everything was packed neatly and stayed fresh by the time we got home. The sushi rolls were flavorful, the salmon sashimi tasted fresh, and the baked roll was warm, saucy, and really satisfying. The baked roll is our favorite , we always order it. Overall, a solid option whether dining in or taking sushi home.

    Good place to stop in and have some sushi. The party tray was a good deal. Enjoyed it.

    Great food. The bento box (teriyaki chicken) was super yummy. We also got the bake langostino roll and were so good. The service was fast! I loved that they let me do 2 salads instead of 1 miso soup & salad very good service will def be back again.

    Sushi lunch - California Roll, tuna nigiri, salmon nigiri & miso soup. With added yellowtail nigiri. -$30 via Uber eats.

    I've been a loyal customer of Ahi Sushi & Grill for years. You simply can't beat their deals. Whether it be the sumo combo, nigiri combo, or sushi lunch you have a wide variety of choices that come at a reasonable cost. This review is based on a Uber eats delivery but I've been to the restaurant and the service was always great. The sushi chefs are endearing too. The restaurant itself is a little cluttered in the bathroom area, moderately sized, but clean nonetheless. I got the sushi lunch and added a yellowtail nigiri for $30. The lunch came with 2 pieces of tuna and salmon nigiri and a large California roll & thee best miso soup I've had in North County. For value: 10/10. For taste: 8/10.

    The stuffed mushrooms in the middle of the photo were delightful! Food was fresh and delicious.

    Delicious stuffed mushrooms!! Everything we had was great. Fast service too. Even though it was a Friday night!

    I don't know why I've waited so long to write a review, I guess it's because I'm a regular. I love this spot! It's my favorite local sushi, the price, the plates, the service.... It's so good.

    If I want a sushi roll, like a California roll, can I have it made without rice and have them add jalepano and cream cheese?

    Definitely yes, we can substitute with imitation crab and we will made you a roll with your own special way. Thank you and hope to see you soon :)

Our party of two waited about 20 minutes on a Friday night with no reservation. It was quite busy that day with many other tables waiting to be sat. There are a lot of options on the menu, ranging from cooked items to sushi and rolls. After placing our order, it took only about 10 minutes before we received the first dish and everything else followed. We ordered a roll the sashimi set a hand roll and also a bowl of ramen. Their salmon and engawa was tasty, but I wouldn't say their fish is the freshest or have much flavor to them. Unfortunately, we had an issue with our spicy tuna roll (there was a piece of metal found inside). I'm sure it was just overlooked. But service was very friendly and accommodating. They immediately remade our roll and also provided some complementary dessert. The service here was quick and friendly. I appreciated it given how busy the restaurant was.

Coincidentally, if you're still naive enough to believe in that sort of thing, was the night the family ate at LOVE BOAT SUSHI and my grandson's birthday. we sat outside to accommodate a party of nine there to celebrate the thirteenth anniversary of Benjamin's birth. that's a nod to my late father who ALWAYS insisted on making the distinction between anniversary (which happens every year) and the actual day of birth (which happens only once). as you would reasonably assume from the photos (and AWOL are an additional eight or ten items), to paraphrase a line from my favorite Muppet movie, dinner in this restaurant costs the same as a new Buick. hey, I read it in the Wall Street Journal -- it must be true. service and food were both five stars. happy birthday, Benjamin. ps: not sure why only ten of the nineteen photos attached to the footer of my review since they ALL posted. does Yelp have a cutoff of ten?

My first trip to Tabu Sushi was during the pandemic, and I don't remember enjoying it that much. But, I also attributed those faults to the take-out experience; nothing survives packaging, travel, and dining 30+ minutes after plating and still maintains its peak level of flavor. So, I vowed to eventually come back and give Tabu another shot. First off, I kind of dig the interior. For some reason, it gives me 80's vibes; Tech Noir, but with a few plants and higher ceilings. Dive bar sushi restaurants have always been a thing I've enjoyed, and Tabu just skirts that line. My son and I came here for dinner and they seated us close to the entrance, sunlight pouring through the windows in the late afternoon, making the atmosphere bright and open. I started with an Oyster Shooter, while not the best of these I've ever had, it still had that freshness to it, the hint of brine and citrus overtones, while not being too oily or fishy. Pretty good. My son did most of the ordering, supplying the table with a Dragon Roll, Baja Roll, and an Atlantic Sea Roll. These were all okay. Sometimes the fish used was mealy. Sometimes the technique was loose, causing the rolls to easily fall apart. But, each was still enjoyable with the tastes being satisfying, if not really overly impressive. The true surprise was the Bubba Gump Roll. The sautéed shrimp on top had a fantastic bite and delicious taste to them. And the mixture of avocado, lemon, cucumber, cilantro, and chili powder, all of it was a excellent blend of crunchy and smooth textures, spicy and cooler flavors, and fatty and acidic notes. After everything else we had sampled, I was not expecting something this good when I ordered it. Still, with as good as that roll was, it was not enough to elevate Tabu Sushi past a strong three stars in my eyes. Above average but only just. With as many other sushi restaurants nearby that I prefer, coming back here may not be in the cards for me. But, I would still say it's very much worth a try if you're nearby and hungry.

There are several choices for kids, and my kid got the Kids Sushi Platter, which came with a 4-piece California Roll, 2-piece tamago (egg) nigiri, and 2-piece avocado nigiri. The Kids Sushi Platter was so beautifully prepared that it looked like an art piece. We also got the Bruce Lee roll (tempura shrimp, spicy tuna, avocado, eel sauce) and an order of the pork egg rolls. Everything was tasty and fresh, and it came out to our table relatively quickly. My child and I really enjoyed our meal. The restaurant itself is very clean and bright, with lots of different seating options. There is lots of parking, too, because it's located in a big shopping center.

Don't get me wrong, it wasn't ... bad. It just wasn't really all that great either. The sushi rolls are well made and beautiful to look at, however the flavors themselves were either clashing or simply disappointing. We began with a California Roll, basic in taste and usually a good measuring stick of technique of the chefs. Here, it was clean, well rolled, and pretty tasty. It was a nice start. Then we moved onto the Golden Mountain Roll. When it hit the table, it became a testament of the care that the cooks put into making sure that what they serve looks as good as it can. The roll was deep fried, held up well under cutting, and had a meticulous drizzle over the top. I wish I had more pics of it to share. Flavorwise, it was okay. I'm not fond of cream cheese in sushi, but it had nice heat from the jalapeños, and I wish it had a bit more salt to pair along with the sweet of the crab meat and sauces. We then had a Dragon Roll, an incredibly well crafted and plated master creation that made our eyes boggle when the server placed it on the table. It was stuffed with meat, beautifully topped with ribbons of eel, avocado, and sauce, and it had perfectly proportional dragon ears at the head end of the roll. And yet, the roll itself was oddly dry and kind of flavorless. Last we tried the Tangy Mango Roll. Again, visually this was sublime. It was gorgeous and fantastically crafted. On paper, the flavors really sound like they should work. But, the cream and mango are a bit overwhelming in both taste and texture, making the roll itself more of a novelty instead of a delicious treat. In the end, I can't help but think that if we chose different fare off the menu, we probably would have had walked away with a much different opinion of Umai. With so many other sushi spots closer to home, it may be difficult to come out again with the entire family, so I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to update. Because of that, I have to say I'm stuck with a pretty slightly below average view of Umai Sushi.
