    Trio
    Sherri W.

    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
    Shannan L.

    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
    Jeff W.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    HOLY MOLY. I'm so happy I found this place! So yes like the name -- they specialize in pocket sushi! You can either make your own or pick out of the signature pockets. It's located in a shopping plaza so it's easy to park & find. As soon as I walked in I was greeted kindly by one of the workers! She helped answer all my questions since I wanted to try everything! Shoutout to her! I ordered a Lion King pocket with gyoza as a side. I received my order so quickly. It was absolutely delicious, flavorful, and incredibly filling. The baked salmon was perfectly cooked. I appreciated that it wasn't messy to eat or unwrap from the paper. I can't wait to come back! 10/10.

    California pocket sushi
    Kaman L.

    I love the selection here. I ordered Red Dragon, California pocket sushi and Shrimp tempura (3 pcs). They taste pretty good. The shrimp tempura is my favorite. The price of the shrimp tempura is reasonable, but the prices for the pocket sushi are a bit expensive from my perspective. Not much service here, but it's fine since this is more like a grab n go type of restaurant. I was surprised to see many people ordered to go dinner while I was there on a weekday after 5 pm. The ambiance is considered pretty nice for a grab n go restaurant. Overall, I enjoy dining here.

I came here for lunch just as they opened and was seated immediately. You scan a QR code on the table for the menu, which was overwhelming. There are so many categories and choices within each category: sushi, ramen, bento boxes, hot dishes, oysters, small plates, and more. We chose from their Lunch specials: + Nigiri lunch - you get 6 nigiris and several maki rolls (chef's choice). All were so fresh and delicious, and beautifully presented. + Chirashi Don - freshly cut fish, roe, and a few veggies over perfectly cooked sushi rice. + Soup & Salad - this came with our lunches. The miso soup was very good and not salty like most. The salad had a vinaigrette dressing with an herb I can't put my finger on. It was very refreshing.

I loved how buttery the uni was and how light the scallop was especially. I'm also a sucker for seared salmon so this was just great all around. Our food came out fairly quickly which was greatly appreciated after a long wait. The main con of our experience -- we visited for a Father's Day dinner and were the second party on their whiteboard waitlist, but we still ended up waiting a little over an hour for a table. Unfortunately, our name got erased from the waitlist twice due to staff mix-ups. Since most parties were waiting outside, we had one person from our group waiting inside to listen for our name. * The first time, I think the server mistook us for another party and erased our name. We let him know and he let us rewrite our name in it's original place. * The second time, he called our party's name, erased us from the board, and our friend immediately went outside to bring the rest of us inside. Before we could all walk in, another party of 6 (whose name was actually below ours on the waitlist) walked in first. We let the server know they weren't with us, but instead of acknowledging the mix-up, he said they had a reservation - even though he had just called our party's name and removed us from the waitlist. We ended up having to rewrite our name on the whiteboard, and there was never an apology for either mix-up. I think the process could've been handled much better by confirming which party was actually being seated instead of only calling names to people waiting inside, especially since most guests were waiting outside. -- Overall, I think the food was amazing but it was unfortunate that the service wasn't as great as expected. Understandably, it was a busy day but I hope they're able to find better ways to manage their waitlist and seating process during peak hours.

Very chewy and I couldn't finish it since I ate a lot of sushi before it arrived. My sister didn't even finish her individual plate too and so we ended up taking them to go. What shocked me is that they serve us a huge portion of desserts especially the green tea ice cream. I thought that it's only going to be one scoop but they gave us 3! I think the one scoop is for someone's birthday? I don't know. And the vanilla ice cream with grilled pineapple is so yummy and it had a lot of cinnamon flavor I believe. It's one of the best vanilla ice creams I'd ever had. I probably never tasted vanilla ice cream that good before! I also appreciate the staff for helping with us with our orders! They were so helpful and kind to us. If I ever bring my friends over, it'd be this place. I highly recommend for others to try this place because the food here is really amazing!
