    Great place to get a neatly wrapped sushi. Good prices. They will fill your fat sushi pocket with non offensive soft tempura, and imitation crab, and your choice. It was good

    Had a little difficult time finding them but a drive around the parking lot we finally found them closer to the street side than within. The lady that took our order was nice but was very soft spoken when I asked questions. It was my first visit so I had to ask what the size difference was for the fries. We ended up getting 2 medium fries regular and Osaka, and a lion king pocket sushi. Inside they are a bit small setting with mainly tall table high chairs. I was unable to sit those type of seating and their lower table was in the entrance way but had chairs that said unavailable because it was broken. It was a big full inside so we sat outside out front where a few lower seats are available. I had no clue when our order was ready but luckily after it had been awhile, new customers came and when they opened the door I heard them call my name. Food was delicious. The Osaka fries were interesting but very fishy I would say. I probably won't order it again or maybe if I was sharing it. They have fountain drinks but I didn't see a meal deal so we didn't get a drink. Tons of parking near other businesses and the 2nd Chick-fil-A on the street while the other is closer to the freeway. I will be back to try other selections of pocket sushi

    Trio

    A frequent craving I had lead me back to Pocket Sushi but this time I ordered the Trio. It was filled w/Lettuce, Cucumber, Shrimp Tempura, Tuna, Hamachi, Salmon, Pickled Radish, Cilantro, this was exactly what I craved. Everything fresh & ordering was fast & efficient.

    Lion King and medium fries

    I am so sad I didn't try this place sooner! We were greeted as soon as I walked in and it is very clean and well lit. We placed are order and it was ready pretty quick. I order the Lion King and fries. My son raved about their fries and he was right they are really good. Crisp, not very salty and the perfect serving size. The flavors of the Lion King caught me off guard because I was expecting it to taste like regular sushi but I was wrong it was delicious. It was definitely worth the 40 minute drive and we will be back again.

    Lion King

    Nice little to-go sushi joint here, with sushi burritos/sandwiches. We have come here a couple times - the food has always been good and staff friendly. For me, I usually get two. This presents a challenge as one is normally not enough for me so basically lunch or dinner for me is about $25-$30. Since opening, prices have gone up over 50%. The Lion King was $8.50 and is now $13, and the PocketMon was $8.75 and is now $13.50. The PocketMon was pretty good. Shrimp and crab were tasty and plentiful. The dressing had good flavor. There was a lot of avocado- probably a bit too much. I had a large piece fall out from the bottom. The Lion King was better. I wish it was warm though as a normal Lion King sushi is baked. So it felt weird eating a cold Lion King. The salmon had good flavor and the sauce again was good. I would have given this a 4-star but it's gotten so expensive that it's cost prohibitive to visit often.

    Food is good, especially for the price here in the trivalley. I wish they were more flexible for substitutions, but I get it, they limit substitutions to stay efficient. Small place, so this is more of a takeout type of place.

    Red dragon
    Billy L.

    I've been wanting to try Pocket Sushi for a while since it reminded me of Sushiritto. It is located inside a plaza and there was plenty of parking which made things convenient. I ordered the Red Dragon which came with spicy tuna, shrimp tempura, unagi, avocado, crunchy teriyaki, and spicy mayo. I asked to add jalapeños and the lady helping me said it would be twenty five cents extra but they would have to be on the side. I thought that was strange since I wanted them inside, so I just skipped it. My order came out quickly, in about five minutes. The sushi pocket was good but nothing extraordinary. It tasted like a regular sushi roll but with a lot more rice, which in my opinion threw off the balance. The flavors were there but a little muted. The price felt high for what I got. It came out to sixteen dollars before tip, and at that price I would rather go to a sushi restaurant and get a traditional roll. I think what you are really paying for is the convenience and the handheld concept. Overall I am glad I got to try it, but I probably would not go back. It was a fun idea but just not worth the price for me.

    Mango madness
    Annie T.

    My bf first introduced me to this and I was hooked. Now, I love that I work so close to this spot. It's such a smart idea to create this and it's so good. My favorites are lion king and mango madness. It's so fresh, saucy and packed into the rice burrito. I feel though for $13, I'd want a bigger burrito bc after one, you still want another one T_T. I recommend getting a miso soup for after, so so good! The establishment is clean and the employees are nice and helpful. There are a few tables inside and outside for those that want to eat there. Highly recommend for others to check out :)

    Pocket sushi is an interesting idea. The owner was sitting an In and Out line and started thinking how he could do something "similar" for sushi. Well, they succeeded. I was impressed with their fish sourcing. From my experience, very few sushi places understand where their fish is from and how it has been handled from the time the fish left the water and served to the consumer. The owner explained the USDA/FDA process correctly. If you want traditional sushi, sashimi, or Japanese cuisine like Amakara or Stone Grill then this may not be your place. But if you want raw fish with a Japanese flair read on. Similar to some fast food hamburger places that give you the burger in a box Pocket Sushi creates a sushi roll that looks like a Mexican burrito with rice on the outside of the seaweed cover. This is an amazing feat. Think of a gigantic sushi roll that you can hold in one, or two hands, with a rice covering where the rice doesn't fall off and go everywhere. Like a hamburger, the roll is wrapped with paper that easily comes off. The roll is then placed in a nice paper box. This was easy to eat with your hand. Unlike a traditional sushi hand roll that looks like an ice cream cone, this looks more like a half-burrito with a layer of race instead of a tortilla. The burrito shape provides more space for the quality ingredients they use. If you want good quality fish quickly, give Pocket sushi a try.

    Ordered baked salmon and received raw salmon not very happy they were more concerned about cleaning up when technically they didn't close to public till another 20 mins.

    Crab and salmon pocket sushi
    Alan G.

    Overall updated rating: 3.5 Tried Pocket Sushi again and pretty friendly, efficient service and ease of ordering was unchanged. Created a custom pocket with hamachi + shrimp tempura with avocado, masago and spicy mayo and the rest of the usual fixings. The flavors were excellent overall, along with the wasabi soy sauce for dipping. The persistent limitation is the texture of the rice which was still mushy and not flavored as much as I prefer for sushi rice.

    Sushi burrito store. They're pretty fast and the ingredients are good and fresh. A bit small imo but enough to last through for a quick lunch break. Won't have the afternoon good coma. The place was very clean and workers were very nice. The offers came out super fast. There's indoor and outdoor seating. Part of a bigger parking lot.

    Dragon
    Lin M.

    This place is fantastic. I used to work nearby and get it occasionally for lunch. I still come by occasionally even though I don't work in the area. The services is great and quick. My pickup orders are always ready on time. I love that it has outdoor seating. The pockets are so great. My favorite is the Dragon with either Edamame or the Osaka Fries.

I wouldn't expect traditional Mexican food coming here because it's definitely more of a Cal-Mex fusion! The presentation, ingredients, ways of preparing are different and I love that :) Asada Fries ($25): I enjoyed this much more than I expected, and I thought I would bring some home...I didn't. The ranch and BBQ sauce surprised me, but the flavor profile worked! Also loved the shape of the sidewinder fries, kind of like c-shaped wedges. Crispy Plantains ($14): I enjoyed these dipped in sour cream! It came with a lot, so I would for sure save some to eat with vanilla ice cream at home :) My friend got a side of black beans ($8) with it which she said was okay; I think she was thrown off by them being drowned in water lol Our server was lovely even as the evening got busier.

The pepper jack cheese, jalapeños, and sauce gave it a nice kick without being overwhelming. If you like a little heat with your burger, this is the one to order. Falafel Burger As someone who doesn't always gravitate toward beef, I was excited to try this one. The falafel had a great texture, the toppings were fresh, and it felt like a complete meal rather than an afterthought vegetarian option. Kids Cheeseburger Meal Honestly one of the best values on the menu. Wally approved. The burger was a great size for kids, and pairing it with onion rings made it feel like a meal he'd actually get excited about. Sweet Potato Fries Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and seasoned just right. These disappeared quickly. Onion Rings Crunchy coating, sweet onion center, and cooked perfectly. Definitely worth adding to your order. Loaded Spicy Garlic Fries These stole the show. Crispy fries loaded with flavor and just enough spice to keep you reaching for another bite. If you're sharing, order one for the table. If you're not sharing, order one for yourself. Mac & Cheese Bites Golden, crispy, cheesy comfort food. These were a hit with both kids and adults. Habanero Mango Wings Mike's favorite item of the night. The perfect balance of sweet and heat. The mango brought a touch of sweetness while the habanero delivered just enough kick to keep things interesting. These were sticky, flavorful, and impossible to stop eating. Fried Cheesecake A fun surprise. Warm, creamy cheesecake inside with a crispy exterior. It's rich enough to split, but you might not want to. Strawberry & Chocolate Milkshakes Thick, creamy, and made for burger night. The strawberry was refreshing and sweet, while the chocolate was rich and classic. A special shout-out to Farrah. You were an absolute delight. Your hospitality was world-class and made our experience even more memorable. Exceptional service is hard to find, and you made us feel genuinely welcomed from the moment we walked in. We can't wait to come back and work our way through more of the menu. Overall, what stood out most was the variety. Whether you're craving a classic burger, something spicy, a vegetarian option, loaded fries, or a sweet treat, there's truly something for everyone.
