it's Wednesday around lunch and while I was sitting in my car, I saw a few people walking in and out of the restaurant so I figured I'd give it a try. There was a good crowd inside, but not too crowded. I ordered the two specialty roll lunch special. I was pleasantly surprised that it was actually good considering where it's located in the Bay Area. Luckily for me, I live nearby so now I have a go-to sushi restaurant now. what I like about the food was that it wasn't too salty nor too saucy. The miso soup that came with my meal was also perfectly seasoned meaning not too salty and just the right amount of umami. What I also like about it was that it was hot when it came to my table. The restaurant looks very clean and the waitresses are very friendly and polite. My only complaint was that the food took a little bit too long to come out but it's OK because they make good food not fast food and I was willing to wait since it was my first time there. so if you are very hungry, don't expect your food to come out right away unless the restaurant is empty. I would definitely come back and test it out for consistency, but so far it's a plus for presentation, taste, freshness, value, and store cleanliness. read more

Sushi King - Red Dragon roll and tiger roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Fairfield, California

I had lunch at Sushi King today and it was such a great experience! I was seated immediately, and my server, Trina, was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. I ordered the 49ers Roll, spicy edamame, and a Japanese beer. The 49ers Roll completely stole the show--I'll be ordering it every single time I come back! The fresh lemon on top is absolute perfection and adds the perfect bright flavor to every bite. The spicy edamame was delicious too with just the right amount of heat. The restaurant itself is a cute little spot with a relaxed atmosphere, and the service was on point the entire meal. Great food, great service, and an all-around wonderful experience. I can't wait to come back for another 49ers Roll! read more

Service is superb and polite ... The food I had seems like it came from a cafeteria at the commissary . I ordered sesame chicken / veggie tempura bento box ,,, Horrible food , Small Portions The only flavor I was familiar was the old frying oil it tasted like ... Even the supposedly hot tea I ordered was served "warm " ... Noticing the food in Solano County seems to be depreciating slowly but surely .... Soooo Sad . $56 for Japanese cafeteria food !!! read more

Sushi King - salmon crudo , california hand roll, hamachi truffle - Sushi Bars Near Me - Fairfield, California

I have always had a good service with this place except today. We came in at 11:30 no one was in the front to seat us We had to wait a bit until the server Trina came out. When our appetizer came we could not eat coz we did not have the share plates, had to wait another 10 minutes for her to come back to ask for plates, she did not give us the dipping bowls for the soy sauce so we had to use the share plates. Maybe she needed more training on setting tables and making sure to check on her tables. Food was good though as always. Service today however was Blah! read more

We have been eating here for years. Great local spot for good/fresh sushi. The Chef even brought out Fresh Wasabi for us to try with the Wagyu roll. (Thanks Chef) Absolutely gorgeous artistry & presentation. Highly recommend. read more

I came here with my daughter. We were in the area and decided to drop in. Sushi King is located in a shopping area close to anytime fitness. When you walk in it is very cozy and inviting...a relaxing atmosphere. The staff is very friendly. As I looked over the menu it it was hard to decide what to get, they all sounded so good. We ended up ordering country girl roll which has Snow crab, avocado, and cucumber, tuna, salmon, sliced lemon, scallions, tobiko, and special sauce. It was amazing. The touch of lemon added just enough citrus...amazing salmon lover roll which included ....Salmon and avocado with seared salmon, salmon caviar, mustard soy sauce, and baby cilantro. I loved the seared salmon Yummy belly roll...it was absolutely delicious We also ordered some oysters...mmm They also have many appetizers. Soup, featured items. If you are a sushi lover...then give Sushi King a try. Not only do they present it beautifully ...it is also very delicious... read more

My family and I have been coming here for a few years. We've never had such bad experience until the past few times we went. This last time was "it" for me. I ordered the beef teriyaki like I usually do. When it first arrived-- it was soooo burnt! Like black. (I forgot to take a pic). Then, they sent it back to the kitchen & brought it back "fixed" (RAW!!). I was still charged for the bento box full price & asked they please just make me a sushi roll. They made the sushi (at no charge). But charged me for the bento box. Which was more expensive than the sushi itself. Wouldn't you rather pay the sushi price than the bento box dinner price if you didn't get to even eat it??? My family finished their whole meal before I got my food. THERE'S BETTER SUSHI PLACES!!! After years of patronage, we won't be back! read more

Sushi King - Beef teriyaki - Sushi Bars Near Me - Fairfield, California

So My husband and I and my little grandson just left Sushi King a second ago and beat the lunch rush. Oh boy was it delicious! Everything tasted amazing. I hear the Sushi is delicious but we ordered bento boxes with chicken Katsu and Shrimp tempura, my grandson got a kids meal with chicken teriyaki and white rice with gyoza. The gyoka was delicious too. I typically don't like seafood but the shrimp tempura was mouthwatering and I ate way too much. The portions were more than I expected for lunch service and when the bill came I was again amazed. Lunch for 3 was only $62 so we tipped $20 since I figured on paying much more but was happily surprised. I also wanna make a shout out to their salad that comes with the meal, I ate the whole thing.. Super good food!. I was too busy eating to take pics but I will come back and take pics and then update my post. Probably next week. read more

Fr was eating like (sushi) kings... My boyfriend and I decided to try this hidden gem as it is one of his favorite sushi spots in the area. Located in a busy plaza near Safeway & Crumbl, Sushi King holds a place where it could be easy to miss. The inside was so cozy! Definitely cute for date nights. I liked how there is a sushi bar and a lot of tables to attain for certain party sizes. Their menu had a nice variety with a good amount of special rolls, simple rolls, and even hand rolls. Prices were decent depending on kind of fish you got on your special roll, but was cheap when you got a simple roll that only had the fish. For instance, the Hamachi Lover was $24 while our sake maki was $9. Our rolls did take a minute to come out (15 minutes) even though it wasn't busy. Their gyoza was flaky and juicy. Lots of flavor. It was easily demolished within seconds and made us wish there was more! Their sake maki (6 pieces, salmon with seaweed outside) was super fresh and it literally melted in our mouths. The Hamachi Lover was a notable fav. The slight tanginess from the ponzu sauce paired with the yellowtail and sweet potato crunch on top was so decadent. Sweet potato crunch instead of tempura flakes is the new play for sure and who doesn't love a crunch. The dragon roll was randomly one of the best I've had. The unagi tasted like it was just cooked right before and didn't mush completely with the roll (a good sign). You can tell the shrimp tempura was also cooked beforehand as well. The roll remained slightly crunchy in every bite. Definitely would come back again -- alone or with him -- and try more of their food. read more

best sushi eveeerrrrrr been eating here since i was a kid. the chef is so sweet and service is amazing.

This review is long overdue by almost 2 years... I know, I know. My husband and I have been on the hunt for a go-to sushi spot for years ever since our once-favorite in Concord closed. A friend invited us to lunch at Sushi King, and to our surprise, it completely exceeded expectations. The quality of the fish is outstanding -- easily the best we've had in a long time. The cuts of sushi are generous, not the tiny pieces you often get elsewhere. They even offer otoro, a personal favorite, and their marinated escolar is unbelievably good. Their chirashi bowl is our top pick -- beautifully prepared and featuring more than just the standard fish selection. You can tell the chefs take pride in what they serve. Service is always stellar. The sushi chefs are friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about their craft. When we've sat at the bar, they've even surprised us with off-menu samples that were all incredible. The restaurant itself is small and intimate, maybe a bit overshadowed by the big teppanyaki spot around the corner, but don't let that fool you -- Sushi King is an absolute gem. It's high-quality, cozy, and always consistent. So grateful to have our new favorite sushi spot. read more

Slow Service, Nice food presentation [Fairfield CA] My daughter chose this restaurant for her birthday lunch so my Mom and I drove halfway to the Bay Area on her birthday to celebrate. This is her go to sushi place in Fairfield. Cozy dining room with a small sushi bar. When we arrived we were seated immediately. We were given menus. The restaurant was a bit busy and one server was running around taking care of the entire dining room. After about 15 mins another server came to take our orders. Then another 20 mins later our meals are being served... I can't say I was happy with that part of the dining experience. We ordered the following: Salmon Lover Roll Lion King Roll Crazy California Roll Bento Box - Beef Teriyaki and Mixed Tempura Bento Box - Chicken Teriyaki and Gyoza Unfortunately, the teriyaki beef on my bento box was not tender, a little on the tough side. The salad and the mixed tempura were delicious though. The miso soup had a generous amount of tofu. Everyone else enjoyed their sushi and bento meal. 3.5-Stars! Review #3685 read more

This place has been a family favorite of ours for years, which makes this experience even more disappointing. We were seated and given menus, but after that... nothing. We waited over 15 minutes with absolutely no acknowledgment from staff--not even water. Meanwhile, guests who arrived after us, especially those seated at the bar, were greeted, given water, and had their orders taken right away. More people continued to come in and be helped before us, and still no one checked on our table. At that point, we decided to leave--and even then, no one acknowledged us on the way out. We ended up going to another nearby restaurant where we were seated right away, given water immediately, and had our orders taken promptly. Soup and salad were brought out within 10 minutes of arriving--such a huge contrast in service. It's really unfortunate because we've supported this place for years, but after this experience, we won't be coming back. read more

Amazing service by waitress staff and sushi chef! It was a small restaurant but clean. The fish was so fresh and I loved the fresh wasabi

Sushi King isn't just a restaurant, it's where my taste buds signed a long-term lease and refused to move out. I walked in a regular human and left questioning if I should start a fan club for rice. The vibes are cozy-chaotic in the best way: like your cool friend's apartment if your cool friend also happened to be a sushi wizard with access to dangerously fresh fish. Chef Aaron is the undisputed **overlord** of the sushi bar. At this point I'm convinced he's less "chef" and more "seafood therapist" because every fish that ends up on my plate clearly died for a noble cause. He made me a custom roll that I did not deserve, and I'm still thinking about it like an ex that got away. The nigiri? Little pillows of happiness. The rolls? Architectural masterpieces that could probably get permits from the city. Every bite had me doing that subtle closed-eyes-head-tilt thing like I was in a dramatic food commercial. I tried to play it cool, but somewhere around bite three I caught myself whispering "oh my god" to a piece of tuna. Service was faster than my self-control. Water refilled, plates cleared, wasabi magically appearing just when I thought, "I could use a little more danger." The staff is friendly in that "we actually like you" way, not the "my manager is watching" way. If you sit at the bar, just tell Chef Aaron what you like and then surrender your life choices. He'll start handing you plates that make you say, "Okay, this is my new favorite," about seven times in a row. By the end I was ready to put him in my emergency contacts. 10/10 would recommend, 5/5 stars, 3/3 unbuttoned pant sizes. If you're still reading this instead of going to Sushi King and letting Chef Aaron change your life, that's a you problem. read more

I was there with a friend and over heard the Manager speak very rudely to two employees. He was extremely rude and disrespectful towards the young female employee. He was speaking very loudly, almost yelling. The employee was being quartet and trying to respond respectfully. He fired her on the spot because of her shoes!? I will not return and will advise all my friends to go elsewhere. read more

Delicious! Dined in on a Thursday night and they have really turned this place around. The menu options are great and sushi was tasty. The food came out quickly after ordering which was a plus. The servers were also friendly and were constantly filling waters and asking us if we needed anything. Would come back! read more

A group of 5 of us went to Sushi King for lunch . It took a long time for our orders to be taken. We were disappointed because our orders were VERY slow in arriving - I believe we waited over an hour. Also some people were told the item they ordered was not available, we were told there was no ice for our water and then when our water arrived there was ice (we were glad for the ice, but confused by the whole 'we're out of ice' 'we have ice' thing. Also some people who arrived after we did received their orders before we did and had left by the time we got our meals. We were in the restaurant over 2 hours , most of the time there we were just waiting... read more

We stopped in and had lunch, which was excellent. We had the dragon ball and the 1/2 and 1/2. The fish was extremely fresh and the fresh lemon profile added a special flavor. Our service was exceptional as well. The only reason for the markdown was the temperature when we arrived was very hot to the point even our server was sweating. I will say they turned on a/c when we said something, but they should have had it turned on for her and other customers before we arrived. I definitely would recommend to others and be back for more. read more

I discovered Sushi King about 10 years ago with my dear friend Miki. She knows everything good. It's just the kind of place that's missing from Napa. High end, local friendly, and economically reasonable. I stop at n any chance I get, on my way home from Sac, on a weekend when I want great sushi for a good price, or just because. It's a great place. Highly recommend. read more

Service was great , lovely waitress, However The portion of food is extremely stingy. i mean 19$ sashima slice should at least look thick.

I ate 75$ worth of food by myself and the portion were too little. read more

It's been a few years since I last ate at sushi king but when I had the opportunity to celebrate a birthday here I had to say yes. We made a reservation for 12 so we got the small dining area in the front of the restaurant. It's a pretty small area that if someone needed to use the restroom a lot of people would need to get up. The service was great. Some got their food on time while others, it did take a while. The food itself was delicious and the presentation was awesome. read more

We came here on a Sunday afternoon for lunch before heading to Sixflags and this sushi place is so good. We were seated right away when entered the restaurant. The restaurant is clean and quiet, which what I prefer. We ordered dragon balls for appetizer, cold sake and asahi beer to start. For the rolls, we got the lion king, country girl, hamachi, uni, and unagi nigiri's. All the fishes here are soo fresh and delicious! The server lady was great and hardworking. It's our fav sushi place so far! I'll definitely come back when we are in the area. read more

I came on a rainy day because I was craving sushi and didn't feel like driving far. I was seated right away which was nice. I ordered the negihama maki and negitoro maki. I wanted to order nigiri but was told they couldn't make nigiri because they ran out of some ingredients. The food took a little while to come out. the negihama roll was ok. I liked the negitoro roll better. I love that they use pickled wasabi here. The waitress didn't refill my drink at all while I was here. I wish she checked on me once or twice but she didn't. The ambiance is cozy. There's nothing fancy about it. It's your average sushi spot. The location is very convenient though. read more
