    Yellowtail carpaccio
    Jasmine C.

    I had seen this place when they opened since I live in the neighborhood but finally got to try it and the service was good. They brought out our drinks right away once we ordered and the food came out at a nice pace. I am always worried with going to a new sushi spot and happy to say the fish was fresh. We really enjoyed the yellowtail carpaccio as well as the variety of nigiri. The roll was also enjoyable and the Kama. I would definitely like to come back when I have the craving.

    SALMON MAKI ROLL
    Stephanie S.

    Ordered a salmon maki and shrimp tempura hand roll for lunch one day. I live around the corner and have been wanting to give them a chance for a while. Didn't get a chance to chat with anyone or stay long but it seemed pretty chill and relaxing. No loud music blaring like some other sushi places. Unfortunately not the best rolls on my salmon maki and the shrimp tempura looks like mostly krab. Price was banging and the salmon didn't taste off so I'll definitely come back when I'm craving food since I live walking distance.

    Wow! Came here on a whim, really positive experience. Garlic edamame was so fresh and flavorful, the cooked it on the spot and you could smell it! So delicious. I had the mango dragon cucumber wrapped- the sweet mango sauce was delicious, the whole roll was delicious My husband had the spicy amigo roll and he loved it. He say the ingredients were tremendous and fresh. He truly enjoyed it. My daughter had the shrimp crunch, she say it was flavorful and eel sauce and the crunch tied it together. Overall delicious. Service was friendly, restaurant is brand knew and clean. Definitely recommend!!

    Positive experience each time. We live in the neighborhood and love that Dragon Sushi opens semi-late, and is rarely crowded, especially for a sushi restaurant. Like others have been saying, it is inexpensive, and does the job. Service is friendly and attentive. I highly recommend: - kama (fish collar, cooked) usually $18-22+ at other Japanese restaurants, here it's $12, and the portion is great. Fish is tender and flaky. - half seaweed half cucumber salad (seasoned to perfection, a light and refreshing appetizer). - baked mussels (dressed with tobiko, baked with sriracha mayo). - Rolls: Channel roll, Lemon Drop, Wilson Ave roll. They seem to lean heavily towards a crunchy roll base (shrimp tempura and krab on the inside) then the toppings are where the rolls get individualized. - Yellowtail is nice and fresh here. - Spicy tuna is on the spicier side. I ordered a poke bowl once and wasn't impressed. It wasn't that the salmon wasn't fresh, that part was fine. I just felt that the bowl was kind of boring. And I love sushi rice but there was too much rice and not enough other toppings.

    Came by for my lunch and decided to try this mango roll it was very delicious and filling. The sauces are made from scratch and they were very friendly. Cant wait to bring my wife to enjoy this lovely spot together!

    This is not an authentic sushi restaurant. It seems as those they just learned to make sushi and decided to open a restaurant.. the vibe isnt right and neither is the sushi. Very mushy and the ratios were off on what was put inside. I asked if there was fired shrimp in my roll and was told no all for me to bite into fried shrimp. Unacceptable. Wasn't offered help, discount or any care.

    The owners of Brothers Mexican Restaurant in Normal Heights have opened Dragon Sushi in the next door suite that used to house an ice cream shop/juice bar. Seating was limited to about two dozen customers. The two-page menu was pretty typical sushi fare with classic rolls, hand rolls, special/specialty rolls, bento boxes, bowls, nigiri, and sashimi as the main categories. A monthly special was offered which on this occasion was a 16-piece roll combo for $20. It was made up of four different types of rolls. There were ten specialty rolls that were priced between $16 and $18 apiece. My two choices were the Angry Roll and Goodnight Roll which were cut into eight pieces. The first was made up of salmon, eel, gobo (burdock root), cucumber, and avocado topped with red snapper, jalapeno, onion, and ponzu sauce. The second consisted of bluefin tuna, gobo, cucumber, and green onion topped with escolar, avocado, sriracha, house alba sauce, onion, and cilantro. My first impression of these two rolls was that a lot of cilantro covered the products to the point it was difficult to distinguish the cut pieces. The Goodnight Roll was a little better because of the zing from the sriracha. I can't really say the fishes were top quality, but they tasted fresh. If you live in this neighborhood and are seeking a quick sushi fix, then Dragon Sushi should fulfill that desire.

    The Breona Special

    Best vegetarian(ish) sushi roll I've ever had. Simple but so delicious: tofu, avocado, cucumber roll topped with spicy mayo and eel sauce. I love this place I go here multiple times a week and they also have a buy 2 get 1 free happy hour. I love love LOVE this place and the owners and employees are so nice and they always remember my name.

    Sushi was amazing and so was desert! Perfect spot if you're craving sushi or sea food! Service was really good and everyone was really friendly. The ambiance was great too.

    JUNE SPECIAL COMBO 16 PC
    Karen C.

    Solid sushi joint. Lots of different rolls at a reasonable price point. They are fairly new (ie past 6 months). I got 4 pieces of 4 different rolls for $20 which was a good way to try different things. The fish was reasonably fresh

    Monthly special: 16 pieces for $20
    Natalie S.

    Dragon sushi is great for ordering takeout sushi. The prices are fair and quality is good. I ordered their monthly special which was 16 pieces for $20. You get 4 crunch, 4 California, 4 rainbow, and 4 spicy tuna pieces. My only complaint is that for the rainbow roll pieces, they were all topped with salmon and didn't have the variety that a traditional rainbow roll has. Overall this is a solid spot for a quick sushi pickup.

    Inside the restaurant. Very casual unassuming place, quiet, very nice wait staff, and GREAT quality fish.
    Jessica S.

    Wow! I was not expecting much of this place and I'm thrilled how wrong I was! It was completely empty when we walked by but we decided to try it anyway, turns out this place is just 7 weeks new! The prices are great, the service is extremely nice and I could not believe how GREAT the fish is!! Like shocked because of the prices. I would love to keep this place my own little secret but san diego deserves to know about it, so good! I will be back!

    This place is one of the top 5 best sandwich shops in San Diego hands down. They also serve salads,…read moresoups, and some awesome sides. I heard they're going to start serving beer and wine soon as well! *Best 1st-timer options*: The Keeper (if you like it spicy) or the L.G.B.T. My favorite hot sandwiches are the Cali Cubano, B3, and The Keeper, while my favorite cold sandwiches are the Avocado Highway, L.G.B.T. (lettuce, gouda, bacon, tomato), and Caprese. My favorite salads are the Grapevine and Duck Cranberry. For sides I recommend the potato salad and tomato basil bisque. The aioli they use is to die for -- can't hurt to get a side of it with any sandwich! The restaurant is situated on the corner of Park Blvd. and Polk Ave. (more generally, it's on the strip of Park Blvd. between University Ave. and El Cajon Blvd.). There is usually a good amount of parking on Park Blvd. and Polk Ave., which is nice. The space has a simple-yet-tasteful modern design and interior, is always clean, with friendly and helpful staff. Great for lunch hour or a weekend date. Update: Came back today with my friend and we ordered the B3 and the Turkey & Cheddar Mousse sandwiches, plus sides of potato salad and cucumber salad, and a double chocolate cookie with pistachio and sea salt. Everything was really good, but the Turkey & Cheddar Mousse sandwich was the star of the show. The cookie was great too. We both agreed the potato salad could use some salt, but besides that it was a solid meal all around.

    Big Front Door has quickly become a new favorite for sandwiches, and visiting two days in a row…read moremade that very clear. On the first visit, Zack provided exceptional care and attention while helping navigate food allergies. Zack took the time to carefully check ingredients, double-check preparations, and personally come back out to verify everything to ensure safety. That level of care made the experience feel genuinely welcoming and stress-free. The chicken sandwich was fresh, satisfying, and thoughtfully balanced. Juicy chicken, ripe tomatoes, creamy avocado, and a bright splash of oil and vinegar came together beautifully on Big Front Door's roll, which had a great texture and held everything together well. The flavors were clean and vibrant. A little extra salt would have pushed it over the top for a salt-lover, but that came down to personal preference rather than any shortcoming. A dining companion ordered the avocado sandwich and could not stop raving about it, praising both the flavor and the freshness. The outdoor seating area deserves special mention. The shaded space was perfect as I do have sun allergies, especially for anyone who prefers relief from direct sun. The care taken in food preparation added an extra layer of comfort and trust. The second visit somehow raised the bar even higher. Micah went above and beyond to accommodate physical ability needs with patience, attentiveness, and genuine kindness. That effort did not go unnoticed and made the experience feel deeply respectful and inclusive. The roasted chicken sandwich ordered on the second visit was phenomenal. The roasted chicken was tender, savory, and full of depth, elevating the sandwich even further. Adding a bit of extra salt brought all the ingredients into perfect harmony, making every bite more satisfying than the last. This sandwich has officially earned a spot as a new favorite sandwich. Big Front Door was amazing not just for delicious, thoughtfully prepared food, but for the people who work there. Zack and Micah created an environment where care, kindness, and respect were clearly prioritized. No moment felt rushed, dismissive, or uncomfortable. At no point did anyone make the experience feel like a burden or inconvenience. A sincere thank-you also goes to the team members who prepared the food. Even without knowing names, the care taken to keep guests safer while serving delicious nourishment was evident and deeply appreciated. Big Front Door comes highly recommended for the flavorful sandwiches, the shaded outdoor space, the welcoming atmosphere, outstanding customer service, and the genuine kindness shown at every action.

I use a 3-strike rule when I go out because having worked in food service I understand stuff happens, but this was not just a one-off. Firstly, the man that took our order was rude, there wasn't anyone behind us waiting to order and the cashier spoke SO fast and cut me off multiple times. I felt rushed but whatever. I ordered the stuffed French toast and added bacon, eggs, and hash-browns with a latte, my fiance got the chicken fried steak with scrambled eggs and black coffee. The latte was really good, and the hot coffee was great according to my fiancé. We waited close to 45 minutes for our food, they were busy obviously, as it was a Sunday morning, but we watched a few other couples get their food before ours. We got everything we ordered except my eggs and bacon, which the food runner said would be "right out". While I waited I ate half of my hashbrowns, which were lukewarm, I wanted to eat my eggs with the hashbrowns so I waited. I ended up waiting 10 minutes before I got up to ask an employee to check on my food, as I received only half of what I ordered and had been waiting so long. He went back and brought my eggs and bacon, but go figure, the food wasn't hot! None of what I ordered was hot, so clearly the food had been sitting. You would think after waiting so long for your food it would've been fresh. Lastly, there were pieces of egg shell sprinkled across my stuffed French toast. How does that even happen unless they were cracking eggs near my food or had egg shells allover their hands. The stuffed French toast was good after I picked out all of the egg shells, and I couldn't finish all of it, so I asked an employee who was restocking glasses where I could get a to-go box. He told me to ask the cashier 6 feet away, and that the boxes are behind him, but the cashier had a line to the door so obviously I didn't want to bother him. I ended waiting until the guy was restocking glasses directly in front of the to-go boxes and he got me one. All in all, terrible customer service, lukewarm food, long wait, and very much not worth the $75, and I wish we could take our tip back, that you pay BEFORE receiving any service.
