Eel sauce soup, anyone? I apologize for being an inconvenience to the young people working by asking to pay for my boxed items before they starting working on the next customers order, but they had taken so long that we were rushed for time. She took it out on me with the eel sauce. By the time we sat to eat, the sauce had completely undone the misshapen rice logs. I'd like to note that this was the final product as presented, with no shaking, jostling or shifting. We couldn't eat much of the soup before getting a stomachache from the overindulgence of sauce read more

Was excited that a sushi place was available near La Cumbre West for some semi-healthy accompaniments to my beverage. Ordered online, which was a mistake...took a good 30min!! Food was underwhelming. Rolls were bland and poke "nachos" were forced in sauce. Requested 2 sets of chop sticks & napkins at pickup, but had to walk back to retrieve after opening the takeout bag. We won't be back. We'd be better off walking over to sprouts for their pre-made sushi options. read more

We come to Lacumbre Brewing and order food online from Sushi Freak. 100% of the time when we're given the "it's ready" text, it's not only not ready but we go in and they're just standing around doing nothing and we tell them about it and they start putting it together. Grassburger always from here forward. read more

I USED TO love sushi freak until they started using poor quality ingredients (hard ass rice) and began hiring teens who could care less about properly doing their jobs. I placed a pick up order, got home.. and realized, they gave me the wrong order.. I called, they said they have my order still, to pick it up. (I live 20 mins away btw) I came back and yet again, once I got home.. THEY GAVE ME THE WRONG ORDER FOR A 2ND TIME! Thankfully, 1 poki bowl was mine.... WRONG! It had ingredients I didn't ask for in it, as well as a lovely piece of PLASTIC! To add, no wasabi or soy sauce in the order bag... So they totally messed up on every aspect of the order. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING. -side note, last time I came here.. they forgot the sauce in my bowl which left it dry and flavorless.. I gave them another chance with this order, no more sushi freak for me. - one more side note, the place was absolutely disgusting inside. The trash was PILED UP and had food and containers falling off the sides AND onto the floor. All the workers just walked past it or stood there not acknowledging it cause they were on their phones.. the ONE worker who was kinda putting effort, was half-ass sweeping and leaving the contents in the corner.. Sushi freak.. do you not care who you hire? They're absolutely ruining your name and business. You all completely fell off. ***this order was $40 btw**** read more

Food was okay. Service was really slowly despite having five people working. Lots of talking in the kitchen. On our way out I let one of the girls know the trash was overfilled and didn't know where to put it, she just rolled her eyes and said nothing. We will not be returning to this location read more

This place is not very good. They told me to leave a good review, I can see why first of all. They didn't have the ingredients to make some of those sushi rolls. when I did ask them to add something to the sushi roll. They did had they didn't put it in. when I ask them if they put the ingredient that I wanted in it, she said I don't know I didn't make!! She and asked the other girl said she said no, so they gave me a side of it but still, It's not the same as if it were in it. It just fell apart after I added it. They just don't care. It's a bunch of kids running this place. Place use to be good read more

Can never go wrong when going to Sushi Freak! The atmosphere is nice an clean and the service is delightful. My only issue is when I went they were out of guacamole The food here is nothing short of delicious for fish and veggie lovers! Definitely love coming here! read more

First thing I noted, the place is sooo small. There was 3 of us and there's only one table that fits more than 2 people. The staff was nice. It does take a while for your food to be made since they make each order individually but that doesn't necessarily mean it's fresh. That being said it wasn't bad! Mid tier sushi. A decent serving size. All and all probably wouldn't go back to pay $15 for one roll again. read more

Awful experience sushi was soggy and falling apart. The miso soup that I ordered was literally onion water there wasn't any broth or miso paste it taste like dirty water very unhappy don't waist your money here! read more

pretty good and they made my food fairly quick, even though they didn't have my order ready when the online ordering said it did.

Employees acted lazy and bored. Everyone was super slow and it was like it was everyone's first day on the job. Food looks unappetizing, the rice I got was uncooked, and the food just tasted bad compared to other locations. Also, the portions they give you at this location are way smaller than the portions they give you at the other locations. read more

Put in a doordash pick up order and waited an hour. Went up to the lady at the front and she proceeded to ignore me for 5 minutes until finally asking me annoyed what I was there for. I showed her my doordash pickup and she said she would barely start making the order after another customer's. I went and sat back down near the register and waited another fifteen minutes when I got a notification that my order was canceled without her even telling me anything. I wanted to just leave at this point and she stared me down as i walked out. She had brown hair, tan skin and a bandanna on. Never going back so disappointed. There was also a line to the door the whole time i was in there and the service was so slow people kept walking out. Management: have more people working at once if it takes that long to prepare orders and teach your employees basic customer service skills. read more

There was two girls working. I usually come in here frequently because I love sushi, and dont complain about slow or rude service anywhere. But today there was one girl working who I found rude. She had an airpod in and we had to repeat ourselves multiple times when ordering. She was rude when talking to us and after our order was done she tossed our food bag towards us and went back without saying anything. The lady who checked us out was very polite though and we appreciated that. It wasn't a terrible visit, but there could be improvement while our order is being taken and handled. read more

Bad! My father and I came here and we didn't even get to eat! We were in line for 20 minutes and right at the counter, no one had acknowledged we were standing there, Kevin looked at us a few times and didn't even say anything. Kevin better up his game, be nicer. No wonder it has 2 stars. Sakura sushi and grill was WAY better. It was super tight in the restaurant and just not good at all. Maybe the food was good but WE WILL NEVER KNOW! Maybe if it took shorter time we would have known the food was good or bad. Hell, don't go here. Would not recommend. read more

Poke bowl was beyond tasteless. Somehow tasted less fresh than premade grocery store sushi. Was also overpriced, the make your own bowl was listed as $7.99 but that price didn't even include any fish, that cost $5.25 extra. Which is weird, but I wouldn't mind that if it was listed on the menu, but it wasn't. To top it off, I'm now getting emails from them just because I used my credit card to pay. I did not give them any information, just swiped my card. Anyway, save yourself and go to Poke Poke instead, they are amazing, unlike this hot garbage of a place. read more

Today, 8/11/24 @230 pm I left with my order. My daughter insisted on this place ‍ even against my past experiences so I said, ok. I ordered her two rolls and got home. We open the container and found a hair and plastic in one of the rolls! Judging by the hair, I know exactly which employee it came from ‍ we thrashed the rolls including the tip given for the plastic and hair. read more

My order was missing items and the service was awful. There were five workers, yet they moved slowly, stood around chatting and laughing, and ignored customers. When I walked in, no one greeted me or even acknowledged me. The staff clearly aren't fit for the job, and there's zero leadership or management. Worst experience I've had -- never going back! read more

Just had an unfortunate experience. Got done with a workout and decided on a poke bowl. Arrived at Sushi Freak at 7:15 pm knowing that they closed at 9:00 pm. There was a hand written sign on the door saying that they were "closing early at 8:00 pm due to staff shortage". Opened the door and the person behind the counter looked at me with a slight scowl as he was preparing a roll. I asked if they were still open. He mumbled something unintelligible without looking up. I responded that I'd "come back some other time". He never looked up or responded as I walked out. Really poor service. read more

First time trying this restaurant. Situated off Coors, in the Sprouts shopping center. Parking is a little complicated at times, because it's in a mini shopping area. If you want to park close, it may take some effort. The restaurant didn't have indoor seating when I visited. Only because during these uncertain times, dining indoors is hard to come by. They have several choices here where you can pick one of the following: create your own roll, poké bowl or burrito. Then you pick your protein, then fillings and then you get to top it off with whatever sauce or other toppings you'd like. For my first visit I tried getting the Poké Bowl. I chose tuna to be my protein, everything else was the usual items that go into a Poké bowl. Myself and other patrons at the store, we were all trying to be as patient as possible but some of the employees did not know what they were doing. They were running into each other's space while making the customer's food. Plus, the items offered were not labeled. So when the customer would point and ask what is that. Employees would know, instead of asking another employee what it was. I decided to order some seaweed salad to go with my Poké bowl. And only one employee knew what I was speaking about. Usually some places include it as part of your meal, but this was an extra charge. Not sure if I'll be back here to try anything else on their menu. But this place offers the convenience of choosing your own sushi, poké bowls and burritos. They do offer other types of rolls and burritos on their menu. read more

Not worth your money I waited very long wait and I order online lol the quantity and quality of food is not worth the money I paid

I would give give this location zero stars if possible. Kevin was cashier and had the worst attitude I've ever experienced. He made it so uncomfortable to order and would roll his eyes every time you would add anything on to your order. They were out of a lot of options which is fine and semi busy. I have no issue waiting for my food it was just so uncomfortable to watch the interactions with him and other customers coming in. I also saw him scare away a couple who left very upset. There was however another young lady who was nice and accommodating. All of our rolls fell apart but tasted good. Best thing from that place was the Pocky. 0/10 don't recommend. read more

The sushi here is great and i would have given five stars if it weren't for mason. mason spent most of his time yapping about nonsense while his other coworkers struggled to keep the restaurant afloat. mason also told me (i didn't ask) that he has four cats and one dog that live in his 600sq/ft apartment which had me questioning his hygiene and the state of the little barn he's running. watch mason closely. read more

A few of us opted to stop in here before checking out the La Cumbre westside location. It wasn't very busy when we arrived but a huge line formed by the time we were getting ready to leave. I really just wanted some veggies so got a poke bowl with spring mix, spicy tuna, and other fixings. I wish they had some suggested combos for the poke bowl, that would be especially helpful for people who don't do it too often. I also normally do a half and half of spring mix and brown rice but they didn't have brown rice which I found a little odd. Probably for the better since I got my rice filling from the sushi i snagged from the rest of the party. We ended up getting a pretty good sampling of the menu and it was all extremely fresh and flavorful. I think the rest of the table got the gyoza (super good!), a crunchy shrimp roll (Crunch), the Sumo, the Crazy, and the Waikiki. The Waikiki was...strange. Not my cup of tea at all- toasted coconut, pineapple, cream cheese, crunchy shrimp. It was good for what it was but a slightly sweet sushi roll is just not right to me. I do give them credit for being a bit different though. The Sumo was a really good combo but I think The Crazy was my favorite- especially if you like spicy. We had no problems with the rolls falling apart as I've seen in other reviews. I also thought the prices were very reasonable - sushi anywhere else would cost a whole lot more and I believe most of the rolls were under $9. read more

I really enjoy their poke bowls. I always get spicy tuna. They are reasonably priced and big! It's nice to get a bowl and take it to La Cumbre next door and enjoy the sunshine. The only reason I took away a star is because they've been really inconsistent in the portions of toppings and protein. Also, it can be a long wait and a bit chaotic. I recommend ordering ahead. Overall, I'm happy to have them here and they are with a try! read more

Cute place, really sweet staff. I love the concept of the sushi burrito and the list of options is appealing. I ordered the Hot Chick, and it was just ok. Problem was it lacked flavor, even the jalapeños lacked flavor. The more bites I took, the more this assessment was confirmed, very bland. I slathered that tasty orange colored sauce all over it which was flavorful, and essential for me to eat the rest. That being said, my daughter had the california roll, and it was ok, too. This place has potential, just need to work on that flava flav. read more

A great place for some good reasonable price sushi. I like the fact they cater to your dietary needs. Example, I order a crazy roll without rice. The Shrimp Tempura was good, I like that they battered it with Panko and made it crunchy. The rice was a little hard. As a Pacific Islander I know my rice, lol. I would of like a more fluffy type of rice. Poke bowl was okay, again the rice was a little hard ( sad about that), Anyways food was good, it wasn't too bad. I look forward to eating more Keto friendly sushi roll when I am not on my cheat day. read more

Okay, so I've gone again. I was sorely disappointed this go round. I go in, one person in front of me. They are doing great at following the guidelines so I feel confident in my choice. I place my order, three things. It takes forever, a door dash guy comes in to pick up an order, they don't have it and proceed to make his food prior to mine so he can go. My two rolls took 20 minutes to make...wait did you catch that two rolls, I ordered THREE things. I didn't get the third and by the time they finished I didn't even care. I paid and left. The rolls fell apart and they put tons of wasabi in the container, not usually an issue, but so much that the rolls were literally bathed in it. It was difficult to eat them. I'm sad I spent $20 for lunch yesterday. I should've gone to an actual sushi place, shame on me. read more

Y'all are trash. Seriously tho, the sloppiest sushi rolls I've ever seen. Looks like my kid brother made them. Sauce soaked into the rice, overcooked calamari, sushi burrito was put in the same container as a build your own roll. The sauces were all over the place, rolls falling apart when you picked them up. This was my bday lunch and y'all screwed it up. PEOPLE SPROUTS SELLS SUSHI FOR $5, WAY BETTER THAN THIS. read more

Service was amazing. There was a girl I think being trained by another girl with awesome dark makeup. The guy that cashed me out was doing that, along with cooking food And bringing it out to customers. I got the two tuna roll, crazy roll, and gyoza to go. The place also seemed very chill vibes. Phenomenal! Thanks guys. read more

If you love sushi avoid this place at all costs. Almost every roll on the menu has imitation Krab or cream cheese, and frankly a grocery store deli has better sushi. Even the rice is messed up and if they used any rice vinegar, white sugar, and salt to season it they used so little you can't tell. Now what was really bizarre is I asked for my sushi roll to eat there, but they still wrap it to go and waste all sorts of plastic. These kids seemed surprised when I asked for soy sauce and wasabi, like "oh you want that?" I eventually waited for that long enough that I just said screw it and took my paper wrapped sushi home where I have the accoutrements. It's worse than just that though. Went back twice to make sure it wasn't an anomaly, but the people working there are decidedly unhappy to see you walk though the door. This last time I sat for a while to watch, and it wasn't just me, they've clearly do something that makes the staff resentful. It was worse than a bad experience - the place is depressing. read more

We tried this place last night for the first time, and everything looked nice at first, but once we were there watching the guys prepare everyone's food, we were a little worried. They were all young, 20-something boys working, which is fine, but much like their rooms, typically.. the preparation surface had scraps and remnants of food EVERYWHERE. They were using knives that visibly had food all over them to cut fish, then avocado, then the sushi rolls.. no wiping or disinfecting. Just straight from the tin with all the OTHER dirty knives to your food. I would not have said anything on here, but this morning I woke up with a sour stomach, and that was the only thing I had eaten last night. Room for improvement for sure, maybe just a manager in there for some extra training or monitoring, but I probably won't go there again unfortunately. read more

It's a no for me dawg. It's fast food sushi. Not sure what I was thinking. The service was great! No complaints there. It's just a no.

Sushi Freak has great sushi, great selection and super friendly employees! Yula is awesome!

I ordered here and had my husband pick it up. My daughter loves the make your own roll style and I can't get enough of the Dragon Rolls! Throw in a side of Gyoza and I'm in heaven. Well, when my husband brought the order home, I was surprised to see there were so many items in the bag. It looked like the order was mixed up. I was HANGRY. I called the store and the manager, Randy, offered to deliver it to me! That was awfully sweet. This place has killer sushi and top notch customer service! Also, cool shirts! read more
