Mother's Day Lunch [Lodi CA] This was where we ended up with no specific plans for Mother's Day. We did not regret it... we caravan'd with two vehicles, party of 8 and drove an hour to Lodi. With the holiday and with how popular this restaurant is we knew there would be some wait time... aaaaand they don't take reservations!! Yah, good luck! We chanced it anyway and drove to the location... one car drove ahead and got there to place our name on the waitlist. When the second car arrived it was just in time for us to be seated. Now that's how you do it. Everything we ordered was delicious! Food was excellent and sushi was fresh! We ordered from their appetizers, sushi and their bento boxes: APPETIZERS: Gyoza Agedashi Tofu BENTO BOX: Beef Teriyaki w/ tempura bento box Salmon teriyaki w/ tempura bento box Chicken teriyaki w/ tempura bento box SUSHI: All In One Smokey Peyton To Die For Hudson Delight Sake Kama DESSERT: Deep Fried Cheesecake - Vanilla Deep Fried Cheesecake - Raspberry Chip That cheesecake was bomb! Had to place two orders for it. The restaurant was BUSY but it didn't take away anything from their attentiveness and great service to our table... friendly, fast and efficient. Stephanie was our awesome server. M Sushi is located in the quaint neighborhood in Downtown Lodi. We'll be back! Review #2241 read more

Spicy edamame to start. So yummy and just enough spice to enjoy and eat it all myself! Miso soup came out my Lunch meal. I don't normally like the flavor of miso soup. But with enough shoyu (soy sauce) it was good.Service is always on point. I ordered the vegetable delight roll. My absolute favorite roll here! If you don't like fish or are vegetarian this is the roll to have. It is so delicious and the flavors are just perfect. I also ordered the lunch teriyaki chicken bento with tempura. My only complaint here is they don't serve chicken breast. Now normally this would keep me from coming back and I wouldn't order any chicken meals here. BUT I tried the teriyaki chicken here and asked them to cook extra well. I can tolerate it. The flavor is good and it's cool done like I like it. Lunch bud ordered hudson delight his absolute favorite a must try and have for any sushi eater. Also got the Smokey Peyton. Inside is always clean and they are quick to clear table. It's cozy inside. Everything was delicious. Wish I had room for dessert. Next time I'm going to order dessert first here and only get veggie roll. read more

We started going to M sushi about a year ago and we absolutely love it! we recommend this place to everyone who wants some good quality sushi. yes, we have gone to other places but NOTHING compares to this place! read more

Good food but service is a question mark. Went in to have dinner with the family and we were seated instantly, no one there but another family. Here is where it gets weird. The server brought our plates, water (never asked what we wanted to drink) and utensil but never came back to give us our menu. The server never said a word to us while he was getting our table ready, which is weird now that I think about it. He left and started cleaning the walls etc, but still no menu. After waiting for close to 10 minutes we finally decide to ask for our menu, and the response we got was, there is a QR code to scan to see the menu, but no one mentioned it to us while we were just sitting there. Overall food was delicious so we might just order out next time instead of dining in. read more

M Sushi Bistro - left to right: Inferno. Delisicuous. Katsu bento with sashimi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lodi, California

When coming up to the restaurant, it seems like it's closed but it has like an almost hidden door to the right. When we entered, I was pleasantly surprised to see a nice trendy restaurant. We were seated immediately and the server was very attentive. The rolls were pretty good and fresh. The udon noodles were tasty however, the chicken was dry. We both thought that the chicken may have been pre-cooked and was reheated with the noodles. We also felt the chicken was way too salty. I would recommend ordering the noodles without the chicken. Other than that, overall we had a good experience. read more

Good sushi but the atmosphere is lacking, much too noisy to enjoy a meal. The concrete floors echo and it's just a bit too much and our party. read more

It was my first time trying sushi at this location and I was glad this popped up when searching in DT Lodi. We ordered ahead and for our items it was ~30 mins. Express parking right in front for pick up and it's quick from when you pay in store to get all your items. They were exact with the timing and we didn't need to wait additional time once we came. | WHAT WE GOT | + Grilled Yellowtail + Dragon Roll + 15 Piece Sashimi + Pan Fried Seafood Udon ***With the items they also packaged some miso soup and side salad (can't remember if it was included with one of the entrees above) Similar to the other reviews the dragon roll and pan fried seafood udon were the favorites! Super filling, nice flavor, and easy to share. I would probably pass on the yellowtail next time since it wasn't as easy to eat/share, but it came with a nice ponzu sauce that complimented the grilled fish well. I was surprised with the 15 piece sashimi as well since the fish was nice quality and it came with seaweed salad and sides. However, I didn't like that the sauce and ingredients weren't in containers or in a separate area in the to go container as the juices seeped into the fish and created a layer at the bottom of the to-go container. Overall, solid menu with a nice variety for noodles, apps, sides, and speciality rolls. Prices are decent for the quality but the items above ran us ~$90 which we did share with a group. Ordering is easy and they are true to their estimates for pick up. read more

Excellent sushi, ambience and service. Must try while in Lodi. No reservations, first come first serve. $20 corkage fee after a day of wine tasting! read more

Best sushi in the 209! I travel out of town just for this sushi spot! Family owned and always greeted with smiles when walking in! Sushi is always fresh and their miso soup is like no other. Their cucumber salad is refreshing and delightful. My husband and I come here all the time and never had we had a problem with service or the food here. Always leaving super satisfied and happy with our meals. The Hudson delight is my favorite roll, beef teriyaki is 10/10. The place is nicely lit and is always full of people, however it does not take long to get seated for a table. The longest I have ever waited was 10-15 min. Usually we get sat right away. Love this place and staff so much! read more

YOU HAVE TO TRY! I love love love this restaurant. I've enjoyed everything I've tried from the noodles, udon, rolls & teriyaki beef. Staff is also super attentive and sweet. I recommend coming early since it's first come, first served. read more

Hey guys. Wanted to leave a quick review. Wanna start off by saying I'm not a fan of sushi lol however I had an amazing Beef teriyaki Bento bowl as my friend enjoyed two rolls, which presented beautifully. The service was amazing. The place was full, but was able to occupy lots of people comfortably. I will definitely be back read more

I was craving sushi, so my friend recommended this place for dinner. I ordered the Salmon Teriyaki dinner with a separate California roll on the side and my friend had the Sesame Chicken dinner (with the California roll). The dinners came with miso soup, rice, and salad. We thought that everything was delicious! We have finished our meals and left the restaurant feeling full and satisfied. M Sushi Bistro is a great spot for sushi in Lodi. Palatable food and friendly service. I would come back in the future. read more

I'm sitting at the bar... I've sat here 100's of times. But tonight I wanted to write and say what an amazing place this is. They ALWAYS welcome you with a smile (Ben the owner always makes sure to make you feel welcomed) his wife is running around making sure everyone is happy and fed. Besides all the amazing customer service... IT IS THE BEST SUSHI in Stockton, Lodi, and even Sac! Come and enjoy the service and food! TIPS: The Miso soup is the best in town, the new York Ta-Taki is like nothing you've ever had, and the biggie roll will have you coming back over and over again. Say Andrea sent you and you will get the best service ever!! read more

This place is a gem hidden in lodi, we drove from stockton to give this place a try this month and were pleased with our sushi rolls. Raw seafood does not lie if it's even remotely past its expiration date, and you will taste it. Here, the sashimi speaks for it's self. The cuts were thin and juicy and paired great with the sushi we got. They must be using very high-quality fish. The service is very friendly, and they checked on us a bunch of times for more water or for more cocktails. Ben, the owner even checked on us while we were dining there that day and made sure we were all right, very humble guy. The ambiance is a nice bar classy vibe, without the chaos part. Nice seating and plenty of space for leg room and food room! read more

Came here with my husband, only to find ourselves across the street 15 minutes later. We sat at the bar... and not ONE person said hi or that they would be helping us. Sometimes the small things go far. We are now BIG fans of Shangri-la across the street!! read more

Fantastic! Everything on the menu is absolutely delicious! Never disappointed. I have been here many times and would recommend to anyone who loves good sushi! read more

I really wanted to give this place a full 5 stars but unfortunately, they don't tick off all the boxes for a great sushi place. I say this because the rolls are extremely small for the price. Everyone knows that good sushi involved good portion sizes and quality ingredients. If one isn't sufficient, you look at the prices to determine if it's worth it. I spent nearly $20 for one roll and it was the size of a half roll. As a foodie, this is unacceptable to me. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this place to others. Simply for those reasons. read more

We were welcome before waking in the door by one of the chefs that was outside. He was very friendly. We were greeted again by all the chefs when we walked in. We ordered two rolls and they were both big and tasty. We ended up taking our leftovers home for lunch the next day. The place was packed at lunchtime, but we were still seated right away. read more

Our rolls were delicious! We had the M and the Preggo Rolls. But my favorite tonight were the OYSTERS! Yum! read more

I wanted to come here at least twice before I left a review. We went last night for our second time and everything was great once again. Twice now we've sat at the bar and definitely Joe Is our favorite person to chat with while we are there. Always friendly and accommodating. The restaurant seems to always be very busy, but we haven't had to wait more than maybe 30 min to get in at the longest, and you cannot make a reservation but that doesn't seem to deter anyone when there is amazing food waiting for them. We've ordered several items and at this point I would say just go and order and you won't be disappointed.. read more

My absolute favorite sushi restaurant ever. I've been going whenever I can for years because it's that good. You can tell the quality of their fish is high and no other sushi has compared to this place ever since I first tried it. Some favorites are the salmon nigiri/sashimi, Smokey Peyton and To Die For rolls, and pan fried seafood udon. read more

This is a nice Japanese bistro in downtown Lodi. We were greeted warmly when we went inside. They have a digital menu but have physical menu if requested. Unfortunately, the physical copies were a bit crumpled and stained, not really fitting for a nice bistro like this one. It's slightly noisy due to the background music. I went with my auntie. She loves their grilled hamachi collar. We both had the lunch bento special. We both had salmon shioyaki. It was okay, a little dry. My auntie had tempura; she liked it. I had sashimi; they gave me a slice of 5 different fish. They were very nice. The server checked up on us often and was very nice. We were sent off with a warm goodbye. read more

Generally speaking I like this place (see my previous review). The last visit however was very subpar. The place was so dirty that it was an instant turn off the moment we arrived. The floor was sticky with trash visible all over like paper napkins straws etc. food was also mediocre. Sushi rolls breaking on picking up. Fish wasnt fresh. I know the place has gone famous and busy but maintaining quality is the key. I hope they can bring back their A game. read more

Amazing service, the owner always takes the time to come out and greet us at the table. Food is amazing and it's well kept inside. Nice little bar top area, plenty of seating for small and large parties. read more

Incredible! Honestly, this is probably the best sushi in the Valley. My hands down favorite though is the spicy garlic edamame. I'm not sure what they do, but it's the best edamame I've had anywhere. We can't come here without eating it. We always keep The Killer Bri and To Die For in our sushi rotation, and then add a different third roll to try something new. And the deep friend cheesecake. Oh My Gosh. If you save room after all the appetizers and sushi take my recommendation and try it. You will be so happy you did! Service is always friendly and quick. They have a full open kitchen which is really cool to see everyone at work and being able to interact with them. They have bar seating available and quite a few tables. Any time we've had to wait it hasn't been long. Try it out! read more

Extensive menu with plenty of options to eat or drink. The food is fresh and packed with flavor. I think the prices are fair. Service is great too. The noise levels can get high with the orientation of the dining room but it's worth sitting down for an excellent meal here! read more

Great service amazing food and there is no better place than here for sushi! Hands down for sure!

Amazing food!! My server Eric was just stupendous . Very kind young man! I would highly recommend the salmon nigiri.

If your a sushi lover you won't regret it! The food is phenomenal it will never disappoint.

Best sushi in town, I wouldn't go anywhere else and customer service is always excellent. read more

So glad this place offers outdoor seating. And since the weather is getting a lot colder they even have heat lamps set up around the dining area to keep everyone as warm as possible. Our servers were very attentive and continuously checked up on us to make sure we we got everything/needed anything else. I can't remember the names of the rolls we got but both were yummy. I'm sure you can't go wrong with almost anything on their menu. We started with the spicy edamame, which was nice and flavorful but not in the least bit spicy, so that was a little upsetting. And we also got the m rib appetizer. And for $10, you get two small ribs. The price is a little steep and has that peking flavor. So it wasn't quite my cup of tea either. I did however enjoy their pan fried udon with chicken. It was creamy, flavorful, and had nice chunks of chicken. I wish the serving was a little bigger. But all in all a decent place for good eats. read more

This is a nice place to eat some fancy looking sushi. All of the rolls we had ordered were good. The To Die For roll had a nice flavor to it because of the apple and it had a kick of spiciness to it. They are definitely generous when it comes to the sauces on the rolls (they kind of started tasting the same after a while), but I think the crowd favorite was the fried seafood udon. The creamy sauce was delicious. read more

Hello to my new favorite sushi place! How do I find words to describe how much I enjoy this gem? M Sushi Bistro is seriously hidden in such an open area. I'm super glad I've gotten to try the sushi and food here. Food is really good! I ordered the inferno roll and added cream cheese. My was this good, from texture to taste. The sushi rice was not too hard not too soft, just perfect. The size of the rolls match the price as and the sauces on there do it justice. The Smokey Peyton was also mind blowing . My boyfriend got the Lone Tiger, which didn't have much in or on it and still came out really good. I am no sushi connoisseur but if a roll doesn't need much of anything and still comes out good, I find the restaurant to have good quality sushi. The side salad here is to die for with their creamy sesame dressing and spring mix with grape tomatoes. Writing this review has gotten me mesmerizing. Sashimi was very fresh and melted in my mouth, I loved that they put kizami on the platter. Service: first visit was not as busy on a Sunday afternoon but lacked service from our waitress. She forgot my wine order and hadn't checked up as much to. We had to flag her down a few times. I liked their sushi so much I decided to give them another try despite my previous experience. Second visit was very busy on a Saturday night, got a different waitress this time and she was extremely helpful. Always tip top and had great energy, definitely made up for my last visit. read more

Really happy that my friend recommended me this place because they're so good! I highly recommend their nigiri. I came here on a weekday night with a party of 4 and we were able to get seated right away. Service was friendly and very attentive, especially when it came to filling up our water. We ordered a few rolls, nigiri, and bone marrow dish. The most notable to me were the Hudson Delight roll and the Hamachi nigiri. So yummy! I especially appreciated the rice to fish ratio on the nigiri. The fish tasted so fresh and the texture was perfect. I will definitely be coming back here! read more

I enjoyed the To Die For roll and the M roll but it was a little too sweet for me. The wagyu was really good and was cooked perfectly. The customer service was fantastic and they kept our waters refilled and often came to check up on us. I would highly recommend this place but just a heads up that they are super busy here and there might be a wait. read more

Food is delicious and pretty good serving sizes. Have had their rolls, and noodles both were filling and flavorful!

Coming from Lathrop, I wasn't expecting much, but when we got our food, I was surprised by how fresh and good everything was! We could've gone towards the bay but decided to explore the valley, and It didn't disappoint. What set's them apart is their sushi options are not heavy on sauces like other places, even in the bay. They garnish their sushi with more greens(which I prefer) than sauces. The interior could be improved to match the quality of their food, IMO. all said and done 4.3/5. We'll be back! read more

Food is fantastic, but the service is pretty subpar and the fact that their AC unit doesn't work like it should sort of ruins the experience. We had the "Flaming Dragon" and the "To Die For" Roll. Also, be expected to wait for your food, it takes a while to come to the table. read more
