I love this place!! Two years ago I would've told you to avoid it. I don't know if there is new management or something but they've really upped their game. Old management was really rude and I'm sure that's why they have the poor reviews. Not only is it super fast and convenient, but the staff is friendly and efficient. They package the food perfectly and even twist the handles together so it's sealed! So cute. They also gave me a take home menu. The food was soooo good. Fastest quality sushi in SD. read more

You pay for what you get. Very inexpensive, but the salmon somehow tasted fake? I had a few bites and ended up tossing the rest because it just did not taste good. The rice was very over cooked. Miso soup was good and staff is friendly - sorry guys! read more

4 stars overrated? I think not. This place you have to understand you are paying for what you get and it's hard to complain when the food is actually decent and super cheap when it comes to sushi. I ordered the baby lobster which had tons of crawfish on it and a rainbow roll which was superb given the price. Most of my reviews you may notice tie in the huge factor of pricing whether your getting your money's worth or being ripped off. This place is right along fair and will definitely fill you up and taste good! I read some comments about the ignorant and rude staff. Let me clear this up by saying there's only 2 people that work there all the time and let alone they deliver for free and stay open until 2am for you the people! What other sushi place will do that?! I understand they can come off a bit harsh, but give em a break. They're doing a lot and deserve more fair reviews. This is an excellent midnight munchie snack if your craving some late night sushi! read more

DelSushi - Baby lobster w/ eel sauce and rainbow roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - La Jolla, California

It was 6:00PM and the kiddos were hungry. I usually call around to check wait times. I called DelSushi to ask if there was a wait for a table the guy who answered said not right now. We arrive 10 minutes later and i ask for a table. He informs me that they are not doing in restaurant dining, only to take out is available. I find this kind of deception to get customers to visit your restaurant unacceptable. I looked at the menu out of curiosity. No sashimi and no nigiri options. Thats a big red flag for me. read more

Great food well worth the prices. I won't go anywhere else when it comes to sushi. I will drive there or pay extra on delivery..

Delsushi can be either a hit or a miss. I've ordered from here many times - all deliveries to my home. Sometimes, they get my food to me in 10 minutes. Other times, it takes an hour or so. Sometimes their food is delicious - I usually order some baked rolls (Baked Lobster Roll - delicious!!!) and sometimes it comes piping hot. Other times, it's cold as a rock. The biggest downside of this place is that you have to order $15 of food just to get delivery. But hey, delivery's free! So who can complain? TIP: Don't order "fresh" fish rolls. I got Salmon once and it wasn't the freshest Salmon I've ever had....It was probably one of the most disgusting Salmon I've ever had. read more

DelSushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - La Jolla, California

Very very good sushi here. If you are into rolls then this is your place. This is for take out only. Call ahead and go pickup. My favorite roll they have is the double double salmon. This place is very generous on the salmon and avocado portions in their roll and they can't be beat. This is by far the best salmon avocado roll in town. A lot of sushi places give you very little fish inside the roll and give you mostly rice. This place does not mess around. I really like the lady who works their and it could be her husband making the sushi behind her. Nothing is premade and it is super fresh. I really like supporting hard working mom and pop businesses. This is a great example of one. Trust me and try them out you will be happy you did. read more

love this place! only a 3 minute scooter ride from Rita, the lady seems to work solo most the time and has her hands full with orders. There's usually a wait because of this but call ahead! She's lovely and always has a smile. Although rolls are a bit pricey, they're huge and fill me up effortlessly. I think it's worth it. :) read more

Best sushi in San Diego. The Jessica and Vermont rolls are my go-tos and never disappoint.

Stay far away from this place. Not only is the sushi terrible, the service and employees are much worse. Waiting outside over an hour for them to make 1 simple salmon roll. Whats even worse is I tried to call to place the order and the phone rang the first two times I tried to call and then they turned the phone off because the guy didn't want to take any new orders. And when I arrive the guy working is so pissed off that I'm there ordering. Shouldn't they be happy they're getting business? How is this place even open? Beyond terrible everything and very overpriced. read more

Rolls are huge! The lady was so sweet and not only that they taste amazing my husband and I ordered the volcano roll, lobster roll, and spicy California roll , and miso soup they're were all delicious. read more

This spot is the absolute bomb.com. Would 100% recommend, fresh tasting fish without leaving an off putting taste of the ocean in your mouth. Cleanliness of the restaurant meets high standards and the packaging is everything. If your in SD looking for great sushi, make sure you go here! read more

Me and my gf were craving sushi but didn't want to leave our house (quarantine lol) we decided to order from DelSushi on Uber eats WOOOOOOWWWWW the sushi was delicious! We got the baked salmon roll and the Philadelphia roll. The baked salmon roll was creamy and so flavorful, the salmon was flaky and juicy! The Philadelphia roll was HUGE compared to any other Philadelphia rolls we've had at other places sushi was fresh and filling! 10/10 recommend read more

idk how people don't get this (considering how there's literally no seating in there), but this place is TAKE OUT only! with that said, GAAAAAAS sushi and the rolls are PHAT. very filling, good fish and really cool people work there. usually a 30 minute wait for more than one roll though, so heads up with that. read more

DelSushi - Spicy Tuna Roll California Crunch Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - La Jolla, California

I ordered food for delivery and it took them 2 hours to prep it. By the time I got the order I was way too hungry and you would think almost anything would taste amazing at this point. Despite the fact that I was ready to eat just about anything, including my sofa, the fish (especially salmon) didnt taste like real fish and had weird unpleasant odor to it. Baked scallops were also underbaked and smelled as well. I couldnt even take more than a few bites , had to throw away and get food somewhere else. Bad quality food. Probably one of the worst i've had. I dont recommend and I will not be back. read more

This rating is solely based on the business and service as I did not get to eat the food I ordered. I ordered a $50 dinner through DoorDash for pick up at around 11:45 PM. (This place is suppose to be open until 2am) It is not a school night, no exams, since it's a Friday night in the summer. I had trouble looking for the business because it's located at an upper level of the plaza and it looks more like part of an office building from the outside. Once we found the location we walked up stairs and discovered a man making sushi inside. We stood outside of the facility because there is no where to sit inside or outside. Technically you're not allowed inside anyways. Which is fine, like I said we were just there for pick up. As he was making orders he stared at us literally with a death stare. We mustered up to ask that we're here to pick up and he just yelled at us to order online. Um... ok.... so we just said yeah we're here to pick up. He literally just slammed the door in our faces. I want to point out that this is not your typical restaurant or pick up delivery place. It is very weird location and the way it's set up it's very confusing. With no sense of understanding how this is suppose to work for the first time, I get a door slammed in my face. The guy working was so rude. I totally understand and I can see you working hard making the sushi. He could've talked and told us how the system works and continued while doing it. Mind you this is 12:30AM that I'm standing outside in the dark waiting and not knowing what's going on. I JUST LEFT. who knows what would happen after getting the door slammed in my face and trying to knock again to let him know I'm here to pick it food. Nope, not doing it! read more

It's a good business model, only take outs, food taste ok yet price is very affordable, the staffs are kind.

Our go-to late night (ish) sushi spot! Prices a little high, but you definitely get your money's worth with the portion sizes! Also, they're only take out and the interactions are minimal, but the staff every time I've gone has been SUPER nice. read more

For the convenience, I would give this place 3 stars, but for the quality.. 2 stars...... What I love about their concept: * Opened: 7 pm to 2 am! * Deliver Yup that's right! For all those who are lazy to go out and get food, but are craving sushi, this is the place to order from. I love the concept that they actually deliver sushi during those times... I have ordered from this place at least 3 times at midnight. Con: The food is just OKAY. They're not bad, but not the best sushi ever. Also, they're a little pricey for the portion and the quality. The sushi size is a little small. I have ordered : Baked Lobster Roll, Spicy Tuna Roll, Dynamite Roll, Crunchy Roll, and many others. They are good, but again, not as great as other sushi places. The delivery/wait time: always quick because I live right near their restaurant. Personally, I do order from them when I'm lazy, but I do prefer to go to an actual sushi restaurants, especially when I want quality sushi. read more

WOWWWW I am shocked. This place was awesome when I was a student at UCSD 7 years ago. I was in SD recently for a wedding and wanted a late night snack and remembered this place. Placed an order with door dash. Almost one hour later I noticed my order wasn't progressing so I called them. Me: hi just want to check the status of my order DelSushi dude: I'm busy, I have too many orders, cancel your order Me: I just wanted a status update, can you give me an idea of when this order will be delivered? It's been almost an hour DelSushi dude: I'm the only one here today, cancel your order, I don't need your business Me: wowwwwww really??? Your response is effed up DelSushi dude: hangs up SERIOUSLY??? Do you know how to operate a business? It's a Saturday night, hire more help you douche bag. I contacted door dash to report your despicable behavior. They're going to file an incident report and investigate your business. I hope you lose your privileges with all delivery services because YOU SUCK. Shut down your business if you can't even handle a busy Saturday night you loser. read more

GREAT rolls for the price and GREAT delivery service. Going to UCSD, this place is so useful and helpful for late-night bites that are so convenient! I love salmon so I get Philadelphia and Alaskan rolls which have always come in decent quality. It's not THE best, which is why I give it a Four, but it is a very good spot. Cheers! read more

Overall, I was very pleased with the quality of DelSushi's food. My wife & I ordered the Rainbow Roll, The Shrimp Crunch Roll, The Miso Soup & Edamame. for being in the La Jolla zip code, I could not get over the price of the food. Great quality for an even better price. The sushi rolls were great & the fish tasted fresh. I called my order in ahead of time & they were able to have my order ready within 10-15 minutes. However, it was a little difficult to fine the the place. When you pull in to the shopping center where Dominos is located, DelSushi is on top of the barber shop attached to the smaller building. There is a set of stairs on the right side of the barber shop. The reason for the 4 star & not a 5 star review; Both sushi rolls were great but I wish restaurants would take the shell of the tail off the shrimp. I have never been somewhere that has so it must be a presentation thing. The Miso Soup was tasty but just a little too basic for me. There was not tofu, green onion or seaweed. The edamame also had no salt added but it was not a big deal because everyone has salt at home. I thought it was weird that the wasabi & ginger were packaged like candy. I know it is much easier to use prepackaged ingredients. However, if you are looking for presentation I am sure that it is not much more expensive to have fresh wasabi & ginger. read more

I remembered this place as my favorite spot for late night sushi back when I lived in Irvine. My roommates and I would order their double salmon roll and baked rolls EVERY week, and we were always met with great customer service and food by the original owners who worked there at the time. I was so excited when I found their La Jolla location by chance as I had moved down here. And much to my surprise, the original owners were here and I was so excited to order my usual sushi that I had to write a review for this place. Double salmon sushi is so flavorful and has a very generous amount of salmon on there! The baked rolls are so creamy and savory, that its addicting. On top of the food, the owners are very kind and put soo much heart into this place. Can't wait to start ordering sushi weekly again read more

OMG!! LOL!! I can't believe the business just PWNED itself with their response. As you can see, this business has NO RESPECT for customers. Please look at his TROLLING responses to all of the negative reviews ... I've ordered from this business MANY MANY times. My hunger is the ONLY reason I would bother to order here because it SUCKS SO BAD is OVERPRICED and the ppl that work here are RUDE. After 6 years of disappointment after disappointment, I've earned the RIGHT to have an opinion. The BEST delivery is Nozomi 2, Edo or Ki. Pass on this place. ROFLCOPTER. OMG. TO THE "OWNER": Your product and service should speak for themselves. If you have to defend yourself so much, then maybe you should be making some changes. There is a reason you are the LOWEST RATED SUSHI RESTAURANT in this area. ----------- Terrible terrible sushi. Grocery store quality. Sometimes I get desperate and order delivery, but never again. They canceled my order after a half hour. My food should have been with a driver by now read more

I was craving sushi late at night around 10 so I was pleasantly surprised that DelSushi was open at such a late time! I called and the lady who answered was so sweet and accommodating. My order was ready in 10 minutes and it was a quick and easy pickup process! Masks are required upon entry. Will be going back soon! read more

Don't knock on the door frame late at night when you arrive cause you'll get a look as if they want to kill you. Knocked on the door frame to get the attention of the worker while he sat at his computer and he turned around and gave me a death stare as if I was bothering him. I was just there to pick up an order. I guess I should've been a creep and just stand at the doorway silently while watching him on the computer. #notfriendly Also have to climb stairs to get to the entrance. Additional comment: He said I simply knocked and said hello. Afterwards I told him I had a pickup while disclosing the order information. I don't have the time to address any situation at the time. I have a delivery to make and people are expecting a rapid delivery. I don't have time to talk to the ownership about pickup practices. I'm simply trying to get the attention of someone and I get treated like a disturbance for getting attention for a delivery. I changed this review from a 2 star dislike to a 1 star hate. I could understand that the owner may be a one man shop that is busy and wants pickup instructions to be followed. But it's no excuse for rude and unfriendly service, even if the person picking up isn't attentive. read more

I'm so excited to have found a new sushi restaurant that's open late nights, even during quarantine for COVID-19 (until 11:00pm on Sunday!) They are located right by UCSD/La Jolla Village; which is great because they have good prices, and other sushi restaurants in this area tend to be very pricey. I found them on Yelp and called in an order for pick-up at around 10:30pm 01/24/2021. The woman who answered the phone was very polite and stated that she would text me in about 15 minutes when the order was ready. The food came out very fast, within 15 minutes as she had stated. Upon opening the take-out at home, everything looked amazing (just like the photos!) As other reviews had mentioned, the individual sushi pieces are very large/thick; I was surprised at how fast I became full. Because I hadn't anticipated such large rolls, we had plenty of leftovers (not mad about that at all). We ordered 5 rolls: 2 Baked Dynamite Rolls, 1 Baked Scallop Roll, 1 Normandie Roll, and 1 Jessica Roll. Our total was about $70.00, but I think this is a reasonable price for what we received (next time we will order 2-3 rolls for two people instead of 5 rolls). Each of the special rolls range from about $13-18 which, again, is reasonable due to the size of the individual sushi pieces within each roll. My favorite was the Normandie Roll--so good! Their salmon was so fresh and tender--like butter. The baked rolls are very rich and filling (next time we will just order one baked roll). I enjoyed the Jessica Roll as well. The ingredients were fresh, and everything was delicious. Overall, we will definitely be back! read more

DelSushi - Normandie Roll, Jessica Roll, Baked Dynamite Roll, and Baked Scallop Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - La Jolla, California

My former room mate and I would stay up late together to study for finals. When the tummy starts growling at 11pm at night and the fridge is empty, we call Del Sushi. They deliver until 2am no matter what. I love that! These people are true heroes for starving college students who do not have time to find and then drive to a late night place for brain food. Goodies I recommend: 1. Baked salmon roll $10 2. Baked lobster roll $11 3. Aloha roll $10 (for albacore lovers) 4. Jessica roll $11 (for shrimp, salmon, and tuna lovers) Their rolls are a max of around $12. Great deal for some convenient sushi! Haven't tried the baked scallop roll yet but I'm looking forward to doing so real REAL soon. All you have to do is go on their website, create a profile/account, and order away. Don't forget to tip the driver, of course! read more

YESSSS! This is my new favorite sushi place (okay maybe an exaggeration probably because I had their rolls at 2am during finals week when I was super cracked out). When it's 2 in the morning and when you are starving but not in the mood for Rigoberto's or McDonald's, this is the place to call for sushi delivery. I never knew that sushi delivery even existed! I've tried their shrimp crunch roll and baked crab/lobster roll. Shrimp crunch roll is very typical. Nothing too special. But baked crab/lobster roll....oh my god. The BEST roll I've ever had! Words cannot express how good it is on yelp unless you try it on your own. Trust... The prices are not bad, about $9 per roll. But fyi, when you order it online, there's a price limit of $15. Their delivery service was pretty quick. Took about 20 minutes for them to deliver our sushi to Clics (on campus). Yumm I'm craving this right now. read more

This place deserves to have no customers. this is how my phone conversation went with the individual that picks up the phone: -"Del sushi san diego" me: Hi how are you? -"I'm busy... what do u want" me: well i wanted to order food, but I think I'll get food from elsewhere now. -hangs up The customer service by the arrogant guy on the phone is way below any standards. Your business is not going to survive when you have an attitude like that, whether you are the owner or employee. after having such a terrible "customer service" experience , i took to Yelp to see if there are other customers that had to deal with your inflated ego and rest assured the second review i read is another person having to deal with you. I'm sorry for any customer that has to see you in person, I talked to you over the phone and after that I don't even want to eat this place's sushi. read more

Back when I was a sophomore and used to live on campus, I used to order food alot (looking back I realize this)... So I used to love getting sushi here just for reason of delivery (sadly I didn't have a car to go elsewhere). Their sushi quality ranges from just edible (somewhat filling) to not so edible (with hard rice, outdated sushi). Well this one particular time I got food poisoning and it happened to be the night before my midterm. I was throwing up so much (I don't want to add too imagery). But so much so it was practically every 5 minutes. The next day I went to the doctor and had two bags of IV because I had become so dehydrated. I've never gotten an IV in my life. All I could and wanted to eat for a week was liquid. Never again. read more

Can't believe I never reviewed this place as much as we order it. If your looking for good late night sushi with free delivery eat here. At my hospital I work at we order this place almost every night. They have so many rolls raw and baked at very reasonable prices. There has to be a 15$ delivery minimum and will only go to certain places in lajolla but they close at 2am. If you order alot of stuff they'll also give you free miso soups. Just make sure if you call over the phone and order you pay cash when it's delivered. You can only pay by card if you order online. read more

Some genius came up with the idea of delivering sushi late at night. It's insane! There is definitely a lack of late night grub in the ucsd area and this is definitely better tasting than most late night eats such as costco microwaveable burritos. The rolls are fairly large and are filling depending on what you get. I like to mix up a smaller and larger roll. I normally order the spicy tuna and the baby lobster roll. If you order two larger rolls it might be too much food, but if you like to eat a lot, go for it. My go to roll is the baby lobster roll. It is a California roll covered in a creamy dressing and topped with plenty of baby lobster tails and baked to perfection. At the time of delivery it is still hot. Their spicy tuna rolls are also pretty good. The rice is packed nicely, could be better, but the roll does sit for a bit while it gets delivered. I have also tried the rainbow roll, dynamite roll and baked scallop roll, along with a few others. The rolls are pretty good, again, it's not top notch sushi, but they do deliver at 1am. So far no complaints- fish they use is good, great service and even on busy nights, it never takes more than an hour to get your roll. Highly recommend this place for late night sushi munchies. read more

DelSushi - Baby lobster roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - La Jolla, California

I've tried the spicy tuna, spicy scallops, firecracker, and baked salmon. The rolls aren't that great. The rice tastes a little weird and the rolls are pretty small. The baked salmon had this aftertaste fishy smell. The sushis are all mediocre. The only reason I would buy it again is because it delivers and the fact that it opens really late at night. As for the delivery time, it was around an hour when my boyfriend ordered it and around 30-40 minutes when my roommate ordered it. So the time ranges around there. Also according to them, you have to make an account online to place an order. Gentlemen..or ladies, if your significant other is in SD and y'all in long distance! Surprise them with sushi delivered to their door. Guaranteed happiness. read more

Sushi were HUGE, fresh, and delicious. My friends and I got the baked salmon and we would definitely recommend it!
