We love this place!! The staff are awesome - overly attentive. Thank you for allowing me to prune your plant - I have a jungle at home (as my husband calls it) - Hinata had a plant I was in love with and I wanted a tiny "branchling" to bring home, they let me. I did tip extra for the kindness of the baby plant. Back to the food - oh wait - Green Thai Tea is insanely delicious!! All the essence of green tea and Thai tea.. I can only say YUMMMMMM!!! Now back to the food (again) ... carpaccios .. oh yeah yummiliscious (let's make that a word) there's a jalapeño ponzu-ish sauce that puts the carpaccio on the next level. The appetizers are all wonderful - we like all the fish - yellowtail rib meat is great to share. Ask for side of rice. We haven't had a roll there that we didn't care for. We also like the soup there. Honestly, everything is a win. Come hungry. Leave happy. read more

First time here. I think I ordered the wrong things- eel bowl and tuna avocado hand roll. The bowl tasted great but the texture of the eel overtime became too mushy and fatty- it would be improved with something crunchy and fresh like cucumber, corn, maybe a leafy green... the hand roll tuna was mushy and the sinew was too much- I only got two bites in and couldn't finish it. So for me the main issue was texture not flavor. Portion is good. I should have got a roll or entree. I would return and try something I am more used to getting. Everyone's meals looked amazing. read more

Had a great dinner tonight along with many other mothers and their families . This restaurant was so busy. It took 20 plus minutes of waiting for a table but it was worth it. A waiter took our order very quickly and we were enjoying sushi and Sapporo in know time at all. 2026(16) read more

I came with one other guest on the Tuesday prior to Thanksgiving and they were quite busy! Despite that, we were seated in about 20 minutes. The hot food came out hot and the sushi came out quick! The tempura was standard. Sushi was great, especially for the price. Spam musubi is a must-get - can't find it everywhere and it's delicious! Overall, casual sushi place and popular for a reason. Reasonably priced and good portion sizes. read more

I can't speak for the dining and experience, but I can speak for the food delivery experience! I had a roll, miso soup, and gyoza delivered. The fish was fresh, and the miso soup was really hot. They were not stingy on ginger and wasabi. I also ordered some special dipping sauces on the side to enhance my sushi experience. I appreciated the generous amount of fish in the rolls, and everything was really tasty. I also felt it was very fair priced. I have it bookmarked so I can eventually go in and eat there. read more

I absolutely LOVE this place, my daughter and I try to come here at least 1x/week for our dinner date. We love sushi! Hinata Sushi to be exact haha The sushi is always served great and fresh! The staff is absolutely amazing, very friendly and knowledgeable of the food if you're needing assistance. They greet and seat right away! The lighting here seems to be perfect and the music is well diversified. While I sit there I see MANY DoorDash, order going out, but the does not effect the service by no means. Give this place a try, add it to your new favorites and then thank me! Haha read more

Came here with my partner for some late-night sushi. It was my first time, though she's been here a few times before. We were seated within five minutes, and our server came by shortly after to grab our drinks and answer any questions, a solid start. To start, we got the Takoyaki. Then we ordered the Kamikaze Roll Combo and the Protein Rainbow Roll. I'll admit, I'm pretty picky when it comes to sushi since I usually stick to my go-to AYCE spot, but this place was definitely valid. The fish tasted fresh, prices were fair, and the spicy garlic chili oil my partner ordered was to die for. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to whenever I'm in the Lemon Grove area. read more

Had such a great experience while out in San Diego. My brother in law suggested this place as he's been here with my sister before and it did not disappoint. Brought my wife and baby and we were so excited to the variety. The food was amazing! I really enjoyed their katsu curry it was so good! Can't wait to return when we're in the area again! read more

Literally my favorite sushi restaurant in San Diego! Fish is always fresh and doesn't have any "fishy" taste to it! I would come here everyday if I could. Not only is the food great but so are the prices. 10/10 recommend! The Maki Maki roll is my favorite! read more

My husband and I have been loyal patrons of Hinata Sushi in Lemon Grove for years, through multiple ownership changes, and I can confidently say it's one of our favorite neighborhood gems! The quality has stayed consistently solid, making it a reliable go-to for à la carte sushi when we're not in the mood for all-you-can-eat. We always order the Submarine Roll (so flavorful and perfectly balanced) and a variety of hand rolls--fresh, generous portions every time. The takoyaki is a must; crispy outside, gooey inside, and packed with octopus goodness. Everything we've tried is on point, from the fish quality to the rice seasoning. Seating is quick depending on the time (we love early evenings or weekdays to avoid any wait), and the service is fast and friendly without feeling rushed. It's an overall great experience with delicious food that keeps us coming back. Highly recommend for sushi lovers in the area! read more

SATISFACTION GUARANTEED I'm picky when it comes to sushi and it can be a challenge to find that sweet spot of taste and price. Hinata ranks Top 5 in my sushi discography in San Diego, why you say.... Because the don't do to much, which keeps the flavors consistent and is he cost low. And for a fellow resident of Lemon Grove it's these best in The Grove!!! The bonus for me is the Chili oil!! With the crunchy garlic.. put this on any roll to set it off!!! We Love Hinata Sushi!!! read more

Stopped by here bcuz I didnt know what I wanted to eat. Got 2 rolls and a bow of udon. Lemme say that the udon was disappointing, there was chicken in there but when I say it looked sad I couldn't bring myself to take a pic. The rolls were good, I've never had a shrimp tempura roll that round or big trying to figure out if I prefer it that way or not. Really enjoyed the baked Cali roll. read more

BB and I usually get take out from here, but we have dined in once with our neighbors. Usually its packed in the evenings, but we went during lunch on a Saturday it was not so packed, and quite a pleasant experience. This is the best American style fast sushi in San Diego. The fish is always fresh, food tastes good, and quality is consistent. I always get the truckstop roll (fresh yellowfish) and vegetable tempura. We always know that we can count on this place to fulfill our sushi cravings without being dissapointed. Though the parking lot can get packed, there are always spaces available. Service for both dining in and take out are always great. Easy 5 star and part of our regular rotation. read more

A place I keep coming back to! The food is great, the prices even better. They have a wide selection of food options, pork, chicken, vegetarian, vegan, etc. the service has always been prompt. And the area is clean and organized. My friends and I will continue to come back here and share memories. read more

my daughter and i usually go here once a week and everything i have ever ordered is good - i've tried a lot of their menu! my favorite roll is their monkey punch roll. i tend to get that with their bento box and it's extremely affordable and well worth the price. i usually have leftovers they give you so much! this is by far one of the top spots in LG! their service is great too! read more

Affordable sushi and ramen compared to other Japanese restaurants. The ambiance is good, cozy comfortable seating. We decided to sit in a booth. I had changed my sushi order and the waiter was very understanding. Plenty of parking here! Thank Goodness! This has ONLY been my 2nd visit here. For this visit, I introduced my boyfriend & his best friend to dine here! They enjoyed their food as much as I had. read more

The happy hour deal here is great, and the service is really good as well. The actual sushi rolls were just fine in my opinion. They're large, which seems to fit the price, but I had quite a few fishy pieces. (Fishier than I'd like my sushi to taste.) The salmon carpaccio and garlic tofu were very tasty. I'll be back to try the lunch special as well! read more

The food, service, ambiance are you kidding me 10 of 10!! Had an amazing date night away from my twin boys, jijiji

Wow, why has no one shared this hidden gem? I've passed this plaza numerous times and never actually noticed this place. We were a party of 2 and came in just before 530pm. We were seated and ordered with our hungry eyes. We enjoyed two large strawberry sake for the happy hour which got us $2 accompaniments - we chose karrage and spicy tuna roll. We also ordered fried soft shell crab and four rolls. Needless to say, there was plenty of food to take home. The food was delicious and a bargain of a deal. Would recommend if you're in the area. read more

This is my partners and I new GO TO sushi spot now. We discovered it two months ago here on yelp and have been here about 5 times now. Sushi is GOOD. Our favorite is the samurai roll. We have also discovered the samurai plater with 4 different rolls. We typically get that plus a new appetizer to try out. So far my favorite appetizer was the Mushubi. The calamari is also really good, and cheaper than most restaurants. You cant go wrong with the miso soup here too. I will say I was disappointed by the boba but everything has been a hit. I will say the ambience can definitely improve. Most of the booths are ripped and the tables are wobbly. The art here is cool to look at and I always catch myself singing along to the music. (Ty to who ever is on aux and playing frank ocean) also the service is good. They check up on you regularly. Overall I really recommend this spot! And I willll be back read more

Hinata Sushi is a no-frills sushi restaurant that one of my friends recommended in the Lemon Grove area. Since living in San Diego, I have always felt sushi is a little pricey where I live in Hillcrest, however this spot is one of the less trendier places that offer sushi at a very reasonable price. I came here for lunch on a Friday with a couple friends, and we each got their bento box special and shared a couple sushi rolls. Between the three of us, our bill was about $20 including tax and tip which was such a steal! Their lunch bento is $12.95 and you get the pick of two items that range from raw sashimi to tempura or teriyaki chicken, and comes with salad, edamame, rice, and miso soup. For sushi rolls, we got their spicy scallop and yellowtail roll. Each of the rolls were under $10 and were pretty decent in size. If you aren't feeling any bento box or sushi, they have many other options like noodles, curry, and rice bowls. For lunch time, our parking situation was pretty easy in the lot provided. I can see this area get more crowded maybe in the evenings, and it isn't situated in the most convenient area for off-site parking as it's right off the busy freeway. I would definitely come back for another sushi meal if I'm in the area. read more

Great value, good quality, good quantity. This is my second time at this restaurant and both times i've been very pleased with what we ordered. The restaurant is clean with good seating but doesn't have an overly fancy appearance which is perfect for a quick casual dining experience. The servers were quick to greet us and help us to our table but throughout our dining experience we had to flag them down a couple times to get things. The different rolls were all extremely affordable ranging between $7 for the simple rolls to $15 for the specialty and baked rolls. We did not get to try any of the nigiri. All of the rolls we ordered were very tasty and there weren't any rolls that we thought were particularly bad by any means. One thing we really enjoyed in particular was the Spicy Tofu appetizer. It was so delicious and flavorful and the leftover sauce makes for a great dip to use on other rolls. I personally really like ginger and eel sauce so I asked for those on the side and I thought they really elevated my experience with the sushi. The value at Hinata is unparalleled for the quantity of food you get also. I find myself spending less here to feel the same level of satisfaction than if I were at an AYCE sushi spot. I'd definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a casual sushi dining experience without breaking the bank. read more

Hinata Sushi has officially become my family's neighborhood sushi spot. Their service is always 10/10. My spouse and I were enjoying our Saturday at home and though we love going to the restaurant and eating there, we decided to order online--their website worked great and our order was ready upon arrival. I love their bento, my spouse ordered chicken yakisoba, and we added egg rolls, takoyaki, garlic green beans, and Thai teas. Everything was perfection and we were happy we ordered takeout. Either dine in or takeout, we highly recommend Hinata Sushi! read more

Omg the monkey punch roll here! This place is great and what gives them that wow is the one and only money punch roll. Ive never had a roll with banana in it before and I never imagined it would be my fave roll until I tried it here. I would go here pretty often with my best friend for lunch and out of all the rolls I've tried, the monkey punch roll knocked the others out of the ring! Don't get me wrong, the other ones were great! The protein roll is my second fave, but I think it's the Caribbean girl in me that can't get enough of the monkey punch roll. read more

The ambiance is your standard restaurant but it smells nice and clean when you enter. I ordered the house salad, the dressing is fresh and super good. The ginger doesn't overpower the dish and it has a really good umami taste to it. I also ordered the gyoza, can't really go wrong there. The dipping sauce was really good. For my entree I ordered the pork cutlet with Japanese curry, the rice was sticky enough to where it didn't fall apart in chop sticks. The curry flavor was really good, you have to get their homemade chili garlic oil with it, it adds a lot of flavor to the curry but the curry is a shining star all in itself. The portions are really big and worth the price. Anthony was my server, he was a gem and provided excellent service. He actually suggested the crispy garlic chili oil. Sweet man. 10/10 would recommend coming here for the items I purchased. I'm happy I stopped by. read more
