Been going to this restaurant for years since I was a little kid. We typically always get the Lion King and the California Deluxe--salmon is so fall-apart-in-your-mouth tender and the mayo sauce is fantastic. The CA Deluxe is always a classic and eel is decently large and fresh. Island roll wasn't as crispy as I expected, but good flavors and portions. Nothing too special with the California roll All the rolls are quite pricey, but you do leave feeling mildly stuffed read more

This is my first time dining here and thought it was a decent spot for sushi rolls. For 2 people, we order 3 Special Rolls in the their menu. We got the Super Prawn, Samurai & Ichiban rolls. Their rolls are quite big, and 3 rolls definitely filled us up! My favorite roll we got was their Ichiban roll since I enjoyed the unagi on top of the roll. Service was pretty quick and there was no wait on a Saturday night. read more

Goodness, when did the reviews dip to an average of 3 stars? Look, this isn't a proper Japanese sushi place. In the many times I have eaten here over the years, I don't think I've seen a single Japanese customer, let alone a Japanese worker. That said, it excels at its mission, and that is why you will see it packed with people during lunch and on weekends. Rolls and bentos are their best offerings. Their combination dinners are excellent, too. I pair sushi and salmon teriyaki and it's a proper meal. It might not be a refined plating, but it is tidy. The fish is fresh and the teriyaki sauce has the right amount of sweetness. This is also a great place to get a lot of raw fish in your belly. I find even the thought of an AYCE sushi place disgusting. At Sushi House, you can order the large boats with nicely cut fish. I've taken the family here for birthdays and ordered a couple of the large boats. Everyone leaves full and happy. When I come in solo, I usually get the dinner combos or the sushi moriawase. Best to do the moriawase toward the end of the week. I noticed that the fish looks a little refrigerated and the pieces slightly smaller in the early part of the week. read more

Not sure why there's so many reviews about bad service. Place is clean, service is great, food is great. All you can eat option is super fun, a little price at 35-40 per person, but it's infinite nigiri, hot dishes, etc. Ate 150 worth of sushi last time read more

Went here for dinner and I must say, this place is inexpensive with hot or miss service, but we had good service today. Food is always fresh and you receive good value for your money. read more

The food is SO GOOD at Sushi House! I am a returning customer and the food just keeps getting better. Make sure to come early because it gets VERY busy. Overall, love the vibes, the food here and would be my go to spot to eat near the beach read more

Been going here since middle school its my go to place with family and friends lion king its a must try dish

Waited quite a while for the server to come take our order even though the place was less than half full. Once we ordered the food took an inordinate amount of time to arrive. Ordered the buckwheat soba with tempura and two rolls. The buckwheat soba was substandard and waterlogged. The dipping sauce was tasteless. Even after overloading it with wasabi, and the add ons. The crispy roll was atrocious and took forever to arrive. This place is a factory. Meant to fill you up, but for us it was not enjoyable in the least. We've been numerous times but we will not return. read more

Food was absolutely spot on. The wife and I split an obscene amount of Sushi. It was simply amazing. . Thank you for an incredible lunch date on your 10th Anniversary. read more

I've been coming to this spot since I was 15, and it holds a special place in my heart. I even celebrated my high school graduation night here with dinner, which makes it all the more meaningful. Honestly, I hesitated to write this review because this place feels like my hidden gem--one of my favorite escapes. Who knows you might even find me tucked off in a corner booth Some of my absolute favorites are the Spicy Tuna, Orange and Cherry Blossom, and a custom-made Spicy Hamachi roll. The reasonably priced Bento Box is perfect for sharing, and the sake bombs make it a great spot for friends to gather. The waitstaff can be hit or miss--some are incredibly friendly, while others, not so much--but the food truly speaks for itself. Beyond the food, the ambiance and view elevate the entire experience. While the place has changed over the years, the delicious flavors have remained consistent. I almost don't want to give too much away because I like keeping this place to myself, but if you do visit, make sure to try the Bento Box--it's great for sharing, especially if raw sushi isn't your thing. Everything here is reasonably priced, making it a perfect spot for any occasion. Cheers to great food, amazing vibes, and maybe even keeping this gem just a little under the radar! read more

After craving a chicken teriyaki rice plate for weeks, I finally got my fill at Sushi House. My partner and I came in during Mother's Day weekend but only waited about 20 minutes to get seated. It wasn't too crowded inside and it seemed like they have a good flow of customers coming in. My partner got the chicken katsu rice plate and we also shared the wakame salad and bay scallop roll. It took about 10 minutes for the wakame salad to arrive and another 20 minutes for our rice plates, which I didn't mind because the portion sizes here are huge! We did our best to finish the food, but had to take home the rice plates because we were stuffed. Not to mention, the food was AMAZING! The chicken teriyaki was broiled and perfectly cooked and moist. I loved the sweet teriyaki sauce that it came with so much that I wish I could have a bottle of it. My partner's chicken katsu was so crispy and the chicken was not dry at all despite being fried. The prices here might seem a little more expensive but the portion size and taste makes up for it 100%! I also love that Sushi House is right next to the water. It's a beautiful view and makes every visit worthwhile. read more

Its been so long since we been here so figure after grocery shopping lets stop by in. We were waiting for no longer than 10 minutes. Sat down order some California rolls, crunchy roll, spicy tuna and a lion king roll. Also ordered a bento box to share. The rolls here were pretty big so one roll can defintely fill you up. The bento box came out not too long after and great portions. We couldn't finish the bento box so we took it home for lunch the next day. Depends on when you go it can get busy but they are all working hard and making sure you are good with everything read more

It's been a long minute since I've dined in at this establishment and I must say that it was very underwhelming than I expected. I came here for lunch over the weekend and was seated immediately, service was good. The food was what made me feel unsatisfied with my meal, I ordered the fresh oysters and it tasted very oceany and had a load of poop. It would've tasted better grilled for the kind of oysters that they had offered to be consumed raw. I ordered the Marine roll for myself and it was okay, mainly because every piece I tried to pick up would instantly fall apart and was a bit messy to eat. I'm assuming it's because of how loosely wrapped it was and the soy wrap doesn't have a good adhesive compared to traditional nori. Overall, I don't think that I'd come out of my way to eat here again - it wasn't as good as it used to be. read more

Never again! Came to have a meal and got food poisoning. After finishing I went for a little walk on the beach then headed home. On my way home my guts started rumbling and started hurting. By the time I got home I was nauseous and got inside and exploded from both ends! Boy was I mad. I was very sick all night and the next day. read more

Worst experience ever. Horrible food and horrible service. Do not go here. Nothing good to say. Yuck.

Service was fine and food was alright but nothing was excellent. We got two rolls and two bento boxes. The sides in the bentos were pretty bad and although the portion size was huge you're getting quantity over quality. I remember over a decade ago the food was a lot better. read more

I couldn't really focus on the food because the service was bad. Came for lunch with my friends and our foods came separately. By the time my food came, my friends were almost done eating theirs. We couldn't even get a "to go" box because it was so hard to get a hold of our waiter that we couldn't wait any longer. I wouldn't eat here again. I rather go to another sushi spot and actually get service. read more

SERVICE! Waiters and waitresses need customer service training. The attitude is surreal and the stupidity is beyond comprehension.

A staple in our house! It is a tradition with my dad and I to come here every Friday when he is in town. Tasty sushi at an awesome price. The outside looks like a hole in a wall, but secretly is an oasis filled with yummy sushi! I love their Island roll, and I would always recommend people to try the Lion King! The service is always quick and kind. Love this place! read more

Food was delish. The raw oysters especially were delish! The sauce was so good! I can't wait to go back. The service was quick. The lines were long, we were told there would be a 35 min wait long. We were seated rather quickly, since the folks before us "full" parties were not there. It would be nice to know they do not use the yelp waitlist. In addition, it would be good to hire some more folks, it appears the servers who are very capable could use some help. Ambiance was fine... huge space, many people. Overall, looking forward to returning for more yummy food! read more

This is one of those sushi places that you get the best bang for the buck. Now if this is the first time I've been to Sushi House then I would give this if I star, however since I've been here for quite a while I have to give it a four star because I know they used to be so much better. The food has always been on point and everything tastes really good, however in the past couple years I've noticed that their service isn't as good compared to previously. However, the food is always really good. and that brings me back all the time. I also realized that certain dishes will be portioned slightly differently between takeout and dine in and will get a better experience or you dine in. Is perfectly situated at the end of South Shore Center right next to Park Street across from the bowling alley. And the restaurant is beautifully decorated. read more

Figure now is a great time to perform an updated review since it is long overdue. Since my initial review, I have come to love sushi and sashimi thanks to my growing, mature taste for the variety of life. Tried uni for the first time here and it was a great disappointment. Having seen on social media and YT and reading on what to expect from it, Sushi House failed me. It didn't taste right, but I knew it should have been savory, buttery, briny, and sweet - it was not. This made me wonder how people can enjoy the taste if that is the true flavor that I needed to acquire a taste for. The next time I had uni was from a friend who prepared it fresh! I fell in love! You can't really go wrong with the sushi rolls or bento boxes. Sometimes the miso soup isn't as hot as it should be. Looks like the soft shell crab got slightly smaller too. Restaurant has been newly renovated a few years ago, looks really nice and modern. Most of the staff are really friendly and attentive, but some days you'll get the opposite. I love that they offer Yelp check-ins so you don't physically have to be there in person to get on the waitlist. Having moved out of the area for some time now, hubby and I dine here maybe once a year just to see if food or customer service has upgraded. read more

I want to share my experience so others can double-check their final charges. I clearly authorized a total payment of $150, including tip, but later noticed that my card was charged $155. I did not agree to this amount. I'm not sure if this was a mistake or intentional, but it's important for customers to review their receipts and bank statements carefully. Make sure the amount you approved matches what's actually charged. read more

Over the years this place has been downgrading their fish quality. Sashimi/Sushi, they should give certain level of flavor and taste of the fish and that's what I am expecting.

The server was patient. We needed extra time to review A LOT of choices between Bento boxes, Udon, Sushi, Sashimi, Donburi, and lunch combo choices. Keeping things simple, we ordered just two premium Sushi Rolls - Samurai & Bay Scallops with Miso Soup to drink. So delicious! Normal complaints are 1) I looked foolish licking the foil the scallops are cooked on. 2) serving portions were large, but I could eat more, but I was full. Lastly, it's right across the street from the Bay. So- enjoy! read more

Food is good, nothing special, buuut I believe it is waaay over priced. And the menu is a typical sushi restaurant. One item that is a must: korokke. Service is good, it can get busy, and slow. Not to mention if there's a line, forget about it. Ambiance, however, is amazing. Right next to the beach. I mean you can eat sushi and see the water, then walk off all those carbs with a stroll along the sand! read more

Been coming here for years. Consistently fresh and tasty sushi and bento boxes. My daughter loves to come here and walk over to the beach after dinner. It tends to be loud and chilly inside. The wait time is usually long but recently we have arrived before the dinner rush and only waited 10 minutes which isn't bad for Sushi House. read more

Who starts cleaning with pine sol at 9.30pm sharp when the restaurant is still filled with people ? I wasn't able to taste my food. What's the point of the various fish and sauces and flavors when your staff made the entire restaurant smell like pine and chemicals. Good thing I didn't get an asthma attack. We arrived at 9p or so. We got seated in 10 minutes. Would like to suggest that you don't take customers this late or don't clean while people are eating. It was a horrible experience. We orders oysters, rolls, udon, uni and was planning to have a nice dinner but the rolls came out first, had to remind the server about the oysters, and my miso soup. The food came out so random that it didn't matter what was the appetizer or not. The easy parking was the only on-point thing. If you don't care about food, flavors, and want a nice chemical scent for dinner, and if you also don't care what order your food will come out - this is the place. It's a decently priced, low quality sushi place where the employees can't wait to go home at night and don't care about the food they serve or how they serve it. read more

I wanted to love sushi house, but I may have food poisoning after eating there tonight. Something rancid was in ponzu sauce of all things- how does that happen??? There are careless mistakes being made somewhere with kids running around handling the food. Unfortunately, I could never recommend- only that the health department may need to stop by and take a closer look. read more
