I seriously had high hopes for this place. Ordered tempura shrimp roll and what I got was a California roll with shrimp in it. I've had it at different places and not once was it like this. Shrimp tempura and avocado and celery.. $17.00 in the trash, if I wanted a California roll I would have ordered a California roll... read more

The plaza is not on the main street, it's behind it. My family ordered the #2 party tray to celebrate Thanksgiving early. We ordered on Wednesday and picked up Wednesday evening. It was prepared on time. The tray comes with nigiris, california rolls, spicy tuna roll, and small imitation crab sushi. I enjoyed the nigiris, especially the salmon and albacore. The small imitation crab sushi wasnt made well, it dismantled.. They spicy tuna rolls is spicy. The california rolls are okay. There was a generous amount of wasabi, but it can do with more ginger. read more

Good sushi. People are nice. Easy to order and pick. Very little wait time. Worth trying if you have not.

Meh. Eez okay. Not bad. I ordered the Futomaki roll (#19) which was 8 pieces for $5.99 and the pieces were big. Meh. I wasn't hungry when I got here though, so that sorta ruins my judgment (or makes it better...?). They have lunch (ends @ 2:30) and dinner specials like, buy one roll get the second half off.. and others. I think this place is Taiwanese-owned. It's decent, but I'd rather go to Yama Seafood down on W. Las Tunas. Man, it was so damn hot today. I give the ice water 5 stars. Small place, but not crowded. Then again, who eats lunch at 2:30? Anyone? Just me. read more

Sushi in the Box - a picture almost identical to the other storefront picture - Sushi Bars Near Me - Arcadia, California

they have awesome food =) Now they moved to a different location from Temple City to Arcadia .

We found out about this spot last year in 2019. It has buy one get one 50% off specials on certain rolls. The one that I like is dragon rolls which have California filling in the middle with cooked eel and avocado toppings. They also have other rolls but I stick on certain items that I like. I tried the chirashi (variety of fresh raw fish, boiled shrimp, sweet egg, and ginger) once and I think their fish is pretty fresh. I would recommend this place if you like sushi. read more

Literally my favorite, best spicy tuna I've ever had. Hole in the wall, only to go and pick up. Order ahead (:

Zero customer service. Don't expect too much. I feel like being lectured by a grandma and felt so small. I'd just pick up sushi somewhere else from now on. read more

Nicest staff and best sushi! Highly recommend this if you are looking for good sushi and don't want to spend a fortune. The sushi is fresh and top notch. Best sushi spot for families and groups if you don't want to dine in and pay premium . read more

Server didn't care much about you even though they had two server. Been coming here for a while and been putting up with their poor service. Today, sat down, asked to get the waitress attention and gave me an attitude like I shouldn't be there. I understand you can have a bad day but leave that somewhere else. Provide the basic service please. I am mainly there for the Taiwanese ladies sushi, not the servers attitude. Might not go in for dine in but probably to go so I don't need to leave any tip for the unhappy servers there. The waitress who is the non-asian that's there who is giving the worse attitude. This one star is mainly for the service, not the food, the food is great! I know they are having problems hiring stable staff but don't just pick up anyone. read more

Small mom and pop shop worth supporting! I've been to this location a handful of times and each time has been amazing. I've gotten a party platter from here before and the presentation and entire service was definitely smooth. As for the food, I absolutely adore their rice balls and rolls. I'm a huge fan of California rolls and Veggie rolls. They make them absolutely perfect here. The size of the roll is larger than what you get at most places (which is a plus). I've gotten numerous veggie rolls from MANY sushi locations and I still find myself coming back to Sushi in the Box. The plaza it's located in is very spacious, you should have no problem finding a parking spot. If it happens to be full, street parking is also available. PROS: - Very affordable - Quality is amazing - Staff is very nice CONS: - Small dining area - Will take a long time for orders if during peak (lunch/dinner) read more

Randomly found this place in TC and so glad we did! Fresh fish and huge portions! Nothing fancy but just good basic sushi and sashimi! Definitely will be coming back to support our local small business. This fed 4 adults and 2 kids with left overs! read more

First time ordering from this place tonight. The man took my phone order was very polite and patient when I asked him questions about their menu. We ordered #4 patty tray, beef bowl and dinner combination with chicken cutlet, sesame chicken and sushi set. They are all delicious. And their price is also very reasonable. We will definitely order from them again. read more

It's a good sushi place for the price. Having the BOGO 50% off helps. The tempura is really good. It does not taste like old oil. The only downside is the wait. I'd recommend calling before 2pm, since they are closed from 3pm-5pm, and put in your dinner order. Then pick it up at your specified dinner time. No need to wait 30 min-45 min. read more

If I'm ever craving sushi, this is my place to go. The shop is located on the very end of the plaza close to Cloverly. I always get the caterpillar roll made vegetarian. They have buy one get second half off. I suggest calling ahead of time so you don't have to wait to pick up your order. read more

Good value, fresh ingredients for most items. It would be 100% if Sashimi tuna could have been a little bit fresher.

Dislike the 1 star review bombs that almost put me off this place--drives the overall rating to 3.5 when really it deserves to be 4.5+. Fresh sushi with perfect rice, well-packaged to go order. The spicy tuna roll is SPICY! Excellent value! Just keep in mind this is a small to-go shop so it doesn't have a full selection of fancy types of fish, maybe 8 types in various combinations... I don't see uni, fish roe, other delicate stuff. read more

The food is good here and of great value. I often order roast beef bento on weekends, tastes great. For certain sushi rolls you get 50% off for every second one. No dine in during the pandemic, only pick up. Highly recommended! read more

I order chicken teriyaki bento and it was good. Well done and California rolls was good as well . I will definitely come back again. Only I was wish they don't skip time schedule. I wish they're open all days. read more

A go-to-sushi spot with decent sushi especially for the price. They have buy one get one 50% off rolls on certain items. They also have noodle and rice combos. Recently, I've been ordering the party trays, which comes with big fat slices of fish. This place can take long sometimes, so I would recommend calling ahead of time. read more

Sushi in the Box - Tray of Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Arcadia, California

I've been eating at this restaurant since I was a kid and now every time I come home from college, I always stop by Sushi in the Box. In the past decade the food has always been fresh and their prices are cheap for the high quality food they provide. I'm really glad they are offering takeout during COVID so that I can satisfy my sushi cravings whenever! They showed me pictures some of the party tray options that they are currently offering and they also have a new menu item for a roasted beef bento. I tried the roasted beef and the meat was very juicy and flavorful, would definitely recommend trying that out if you're not feeling the seafood! read more

They are moving from temple city to Arcadia soon. Food is good. Price is good. Nothing bad to say.

This spot is super close to us for pick up and the food always pleases! Our orders are always packed carefully and the food is fresh and very good! We get the bentos, sushi rolls and bowls. There is a walk up window placed now due to Covid and they take your payment and food is handed thru the window. I recommend calling your order in ahead but, you can order at the window~ it just will take awhile. read more

I came here because I wanted to buy a party tray for a pot luck and Sushi in the Box has decent prices for a fair amount of sushi. They have 6 party platters to choose from $24 to $46 depending on the number of pieces. I chose a platter with 16 cali roll, 4 tuna sushi, 4 salmon sushi, 4 red snapper sushi and 3 shrimp sushi for $25. I didn't expect the quality to be top notch but it turned out better than I expected! I was thinking cold hard pieces of fish but it was actually decent. This place probably isn't ideal for me to come regularly but I think if I need to bring a party tray in the future I will take Sushi in the Box to consideration. read more

Sushi in the Box - party tray $25 - Sushi Bars Near Me - Arcadia, California

It's a pretty small restaurant. Only 7 tables inside. My husband ordered chirashi bowl/sashimi bowl. It came in a decent amount of sashimi and rice. I took buy 1 get 2nd 50%off sushi roll. I ordered dragon roll and tempura roll. They were pretty good and bigger than regular size. I'll be back next time trying their bento set. read more

ownership changed. food is different. not in a good way. waitress seems overwhelmed. when overwhelmed, projects her frustration onto customers. sukiyaki beef is on lettuce instead of foil--this causes drippage to the sushi. sushi is much smaller. seaweed salad, barely one bite seaweed used in sushi harder to chew. read more

Sushi in the Box - Sukiyaki lunch special - Sushi Bars Near Me - Arcadia, California

Came here today since it was kinda on the way home -- and I needed a nice little sushi fix/snack. Anyways, this place is located in some unknown Asian plaza -- which is awesome, because 1) there's not are Asian mobs fighting for parking and 2) lots and lotssssssss of parking spaces. Coming in, the place was pretty small -- it looked more like a to-go place more than a sit down restaurant. So obviously, I got to-go! I ended up with the Caterpillar Roll ($8) and Rainbow Roll ($9). But there was a pretty cool catch, buy one roll and get the second one for 50% off! So my total was like $13-- which I was amazed... two special rolls for only $13? What a steal. When I got home, I devoured the two rolls on my own -- I guess I was hungry? Lol, anyways the rolls were REALLY BIG, filled with lots of rice and the raw fish on the Rainbow Roll were in huge chunks. The sashimi was decently fresh -- I wouldn't say it was the BESSST, but come on, $13 for two rolls -- I wasn't expecting it to be thaaaaat great. For the price, it was definitely a catch! The service was decent. The worker was really nice and even went into detail on her personal life to kill time-- which was pretty cool, just because it's always nice to have a little convo while waiting for your food. Overall, I wouldn't mind coming back here for a nice fix on sushi -- The price is definitely reasonably cheap. I mean it's not the BEST sushi in the world, but hey for the price you pay, it's TOTALLY WORTH IT! Turn-Ons: -CHEAP SUSHI. Turn-Offs: -Not suitable for big groups because it's a pretty small restaurant. read more

Got some onigiri to go for a quick snack. My daughter had the salmon one and I tried the unagi, and we both loved it! They make it when you order, so it tastes warm and fresh. I like that they also put avocado in the eel flavor one. read more

I was craving sushi and this is the closest sushi restaurant to my house. The reviews weren't so great but I decided to try them out for myself. Given they only had 3 stars, my expectations were pretty low but I was pleasantly surprised! I ordered the Philadelphia and Tempura roll to go. Each came with 8 and were sizeable. The sushi wasn't amazing but it was tasty and fresh. I paid about $20 for both rolls which was slightly pricier than what I was expecting, but reasonable compared to other sushi spots. They also had buy one, get the second 50% on certain rolls. Overall, the service was friendly and quick and the sushi was decent. I'll likely come back and try their other rolls and encourage anyone reading this to also give them a try. read more

During covid19 era this has been my GoTO sushi spot!!! They have affordable and delicious sushi! The service is so great and they are very nice ! The dragon and rainbow rolls are my favorite! I keep coming back and never disappointed! Also the hand rolls are a must add to any order!! They are so good ! read more

The sushi is good but not great and the price is really good for the quantity of sushi rolls. Buy one 2nd half off.

This is my favorite spot! It's not necessarily a secret. I suggest ordering ahead. But even if you wait, it's always worth it! Always friendly service! read more

Most of time ordered right after 600 pm. This place didn't want to take orders over phone and didnt even bother to answer a call. I dont know what is their business intention. I've called few times before 530 pm today's father day, no answer. I went there before 530 pm to order they said too many orders to make therefore they cant make anymore. Even during the regular days. They dont answer the phone if there is too many orders.. read more

I'm so glad they have a japanese take out place in the middle of Temple City! Yes, it's a little hole in the wall restaurant across the street from Ralphs but most of the customers do take-outs anyway. There a few small tables within the restaurant but can seat no more than 10-12 people in total. The only drawback is that you do have to wait a little while before they'll get your food ready, but if you phone in about 15 minutes before showing, more likely than not the food is ready. Taste wise it is pretty good for a take-out place. Price is really reasonable too especially they often do the buy one entree get the second one half off. read more

This place is a really an excellent place to get some sushi! You can get a mixed platter with 32 pieces for 24 bucks. Really, is not a bad deal at all! It's a bit difficult to find the place though. It's located across the street from Citibank in the little plaza. Even though Chinese people own it, they make really delicious sushi here. Alrighty, to sum it up: Pros: Cheap Sushi Friendly and quick staff Clean place Good sushi Great selection and deals Cons: Small, very limited space. The largest table is for 4 people I think. Hidden away Tacky deco (you'll know what I mean when you go) read more
