A friend chose this place because we craved quality conversation over watching the World Cup today. Spain won. We were a party of 8 and received excellent service throughout. Quaint place with outdoor patio seating under an awning. Parking was a tad challenging during Sunday after church lunch rush but we all managed to get spots. Our food came out quickly. I shared chicken teriyaki with my friend. It came with miso soup which was really tasty. We both enjoyed the teriyaki chicken and salad. It was a generous portion so plenty for two women. My friend really liked the teriyaki sauce but I found it to be a little lacking in umami depth and brightness. Everyone shared that they enjoyed what they ordered ~ Sesame Chicken (crispy fried pieces with a sweet and tangy sauce), Modern Sashimi Salad (fresh and flavorful), Yaki Soba with chicken (good combination of noodles, chicken and vegetables), Gyoza were delicious and Tempura California roll was a hit. Someone ordered a soup but I didn't get a chance to ask her about it. One thing, we weren't advised before ordering that they do not give individual bills but max of 3 which we all figured out rather quickly. Easy peasy. All in all it was such a nice time celebrating and spending time new and old friends. read more

I actually really like eating here but service wasn't good today. I ordered 2 rolls and one of them I couldn't finish so I packed it for to-go. It was a roll that was $20 and I only had 2-3 pieces of it because I couldn't finished it. I was with friends so I end up forgetting about it. I was at Sunday Ice cream which is across the street but I went back to retrieve it after 5 mins of leaving Kuchi and the servers already threw it away than keeping it on the side in case any customers would've came back. I asked if they could compromise with a remake or a discount but they refused. 03/12/2026, at 9pm read more

Came in for lunch with my family and had a great time! The wait for food wasn't long and there are so many options to choose from. The sushi and spicy sesame chicken were delicious! The service was great and the bathroom was clean as well. read more

Sushi Kuchi - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

3.5/5 Overview: good, pretty standard sushi spot, very similar to Todo Sushi off of Carroll Canyon Rd, quite affordable, all to-go orders are 20% more expensive vs dine-in, have sushi + other entrées ---- Minus 1 star: - While I love the concept of the Kuchi Special where you post on social media to advertise for them to get a free house special roll, there are some discrepancies in receiving it. - On the flyer, it said only a $10 minimum purchase needed, but our waitress said there needed to be a $20 minimum per person - I only noticed when looking back at the picture I took, it's a bit confusing but if they changed their policy they should include it on the flyer Spicy Garlic Edamame $6.95: Minus 0.5 star - The spicy garlic edamame was quite sweet, and had no spice at all. They maybe gave us the regular garlic edamame? Playboy Roll $13: - salmon, cooked shrimp, cream cheese, avocado, spicy mayo - lots of cream cheese, some might not like it (I love cream cheese so I enjoyed this one) Dragon Roll $13: - imitation crab, eel, avocado, cucumber, smelt egg, eel sauce - my favorite roll Sunshine Roll $12: - imitation crab, avocado, cucumber, salmon, house dressing - house dressing sauce was great, I think they use the same recipe at Todo Sushi for their sunshine roll too Yaki Soba $15.50: - stir fried soba noodle with vegetables and chicken - pretty large portion - comes with 3 slices of oranges ---- Notes: - Parking can be difficult especially being in convoy area - nice ambiance, I liked the dim lighting, it gave an intimate vibe - no complaints about the service ---- Overall: it's a decent place for sushi, I would've given a 4.5/5 if it wasn't for the discrepancy for their special read more

I love me some sushi!!! ...I can eat this all the time and Sushi Kuchi is one of my favorite sushi spots to go to. Between this location and Mission Valley, they never let me down. I always get the Play Boy Roll, Sweet Hawaiian Roll, White Boy Roll and my absolute favorite Vegas Roll! ...tasty, yet satisfying. The service is always great and super friendly. I like to dine in for their 50% off on the rolls and go during lunch time for a less crowded meal. I am already thinking of my next visit for the Vegas Roll! read more

There was no wait time which should've been our first sign since it is usually busy on Convoy especially in this parking lot. The food was alright but nothing special. Be careful when reading the menu because if it doesn't say it's a roll then there is no rice specifically for the sushi section. I highly do not recommend the tornado roll. The restaurant was pretty quiet but it was because there wasn't that much people. read more

First off I'd like to say our service was great -- our servers were very kind and sweet, checking up on us and making sure we were having a good time. We sat outside and the ambiance was peaceful and nice as well. I'm just profoundly confused by the concept. How could sushi rolls be 24+ USD but 50% or 40% off always? Then shouldn't it just be priced at the appropriate price instead of creating this weird discount system? We ordered 3 rolls and hot sake and they were all just ok. the sushi tasted fine but I'm not sure if it's super fresh. I left the restaurant with an upset and almost cramped stomach. It's just a confusing concept and I probably won't come again. read more

I got the salmon skin tempura, spicy edamame , and the tornado 151. I really enjoyed my food, the waiter was super helpful, and attentive to us. While the food was good, we got a roll (star wars roll) that seemed frozen or something because it was slightly tough. The manager was kind enough and didn't charge us for it. Much appreciated! Other than that the food tasted pretty good. Highly recommend the cooked rolls. read more

We were looking for a sushi spot to go to for Father's Day, and found this spot on yelp. We couldn't have been happier with the entire experience, the employees were fantastic and the food was incredible. We will definitely be going back. read more

Gluten Free Soy Sauce Available Usually at sushi establishments, the sashimi would probably be the first thing that came out. Unfortunately that was not the case for me and I ended up waiting over an hour for a plate of 6 pieces of fish, and steamed rice on the weekend. We were a large party, but it was by no means busy. I was disappointed by the service in general, having to ask for things multiple times before receiving them. The fish quality itself wasn't great either. The tuna was still slightly frozen and firm, and the white fish and salmon were decent. Overall, I don't think I'll be back. read more

We finally stopped by after having numerous people recommend us this location. Service was amazing, the young lady was really attentive. It was just us and another party during lunch hour. Our food came out relatively fast. We were impressed by the size of the sushi rolls, they are definitely meant to be shared. Our favorites were the deep fried ones, they had such a great crunchy consistency that paired perfectly with the creaminess of the filling. We ordered a ramen, but we were disappointed when we realized it was just top ramen nothing extra was added to make it special. We sent it back, didn't make a big deal about it nor did we request for it to be taken off our check. Once we paid and looked at our check on our way out we realized the young girl took it off our bill. This was a gesture that was appreciated and speaks highly of their customer service. The music playing in the background was a great 2000s playlist. This is definitely a place you want to visit during lunch hour to avoid to crowds and come ready to eat. read more

First time trying this place. Door Dashed a couple rolls: Bad Boy Roll and Vegas Roll. Sushi pieces were thick. The Vegas Roll was delicious and fulfilling. Bad Boy roll was also good, liked how the lemon slices were thin so it was edible. Docking a few stars, it would have been nice to have chopsticks and soy sauce packets with my order. Also, I haven't dined so I can't comment on the visual experience of the location. I did like how they packed a big serving of ginger, my fave. Thank You Sushi Kuchi! read more

Nice place to grab some sushi. For taste, everything we got was good but nothing really stood out to me as amazing or terrible. The size of the sushi itself was super big kinda hard to eat. Presentation was very nice. Tried a new beer called Krush which was super refreshing. The staff is super friendly and kept checking up on us. As for the menu, the rolls itself is pretty "cheap" because it's marked at 50% off basically everything however I would wish they just took that off and put the regular prices to make it easier to calculate the total. read more

Sushi Kuchi - Crispy Rice, play boy, bad boy, Mango Roll, Spicy Garlic Edamame, salmon nigiri - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

I love to come to Sushi Kuchi. My favorites are the Vegas roll and jalapeño poppers - they hit it out of the park every time. Most of their other rolls are standard and the nigiri is solid. When the quality is off, the servers are helpful to try to fix the problem. Their other noodles and rice bowls are average. Every time I've come here the service is great and the wait time for food isn't too long. The 50% prices are good (expensive for their premium rolls). But the parking can be really difficult during the evening, especially on the weekends so I usually park a few blocks away and walk. read more

I have ordered from here before and it was delicious, I ordered today around 11:30 when they opened and when my food was delivered i noticed the color of the fish was off, then i noticed the fish was hard like it was old, also they sprinkled salt and pepper on my roll which they did not do before. Made the roll un-edible had to throw it away. I also ordered spicy garlic edamame which i have had before and was great, this time it was undercooked like they put it in the microwave. I will not be ordering from here again. Hope whoever you have in the kitchen this morning is no longer making food for you guys, they have no idea what they are doing in the kitchen. Literally had to throw my food away. waste of $32. I will not be going back here. read more

Service was amazing and it was clean and nice!! Good sushi for the price :) The roll i got i believe was the star wars roll and it was crunchy on the outside and was a hot roll! for $13 it was worth it. read more

Sushi Kuchi - I love the sushi here I always order to go as I'm on my lunch when I order. This time I was chocking on this plastic wrap - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

My boyfriend and I went here today after our spa day and it was not the best decision. He had been there before and said it wasn't too great but instead of searching for more places we went there anyway. Our servers were nice and responded quickly. We asked for bottled water and a cup of ice and they didn't bring a straw. Then we ordered our rolls. My bf ordered the tuna and yellowtail/scallion rolls and they were not put together well. The rice tasted funny and it was really sticky. I ordered sweet Hawaiian and pink rolls and they were massive and again rice didn't taste good and they were falling apart they were so big. The only thing on the table that tasted good was the cucumber salad. But that's an easy recipe. Definitely not coming back. No wonder their sushi is 50% off all the time but...I wouldn't say they were worth $12 either! read more

Staff was kind and friendly, though not the most attentive--service was about average. The rolls were great and reasonably priced. The restaurant was clean and comfortable inside. I got the crunchy roll, the tempura wasn't very crunchy at all but the flavor was still good. I recommend the iced green tea as a refresher. read more

They have their own parking lot but it's shared so just a heads up since parking can be hard. We were greeted and seated right away. We ordered rolls, nigiris, and udon. Everything tasted great but a bit overpriced for what it's worth. read more

Sushi Kuchi offers some excellent rolls for decent prices. My personal favorite was the sensual pleasure; the spicy tuna actually packed quite the punch, and the scallops inside tasted pretty fresh. The place was pretty empty during lunch hours, and they have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Of course, being on Convoy, parking is difficult, but if you can get around that this is a pretty good restaurant. read more

Our waiter was very nice and attentive. I think this place is nice and cozy, it wasn't crowded so it's great for a small party to come hang out. I personally had the yakisoba and I enjoyed it, but it didn't stand out to me more than your average yakisoba. My sister got all of the sushi dishes and said that they tasted great. The gochu was sooo good though, I would totally order this every single time. read more

Y'all. .99 cent sake bombs. I wish I could leave the review to just that but I must say, 4 out of the 5 stars for this restaurant come from that. The sushi is very well priced here, in my eyes it's like solid sushi and is really good... paired with these sake bombs. This place is perfect to bring a large group of friends or to have a faster casual lunch date at! My friends and I got to order a bunch of rolls because of their menu deals and we were very happy when we were all full. Not their fault but as this is a busy part of Convoy, parking is a challenge and is something to arrive early to figure out. Also the name is silly and I think it's funny, will be back for the experience! read more

Sushi Kuchi - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

Solid sushi spot on Convoy! Parking is rough as usual especially on weekends. Definitely worth the try if you're in the area and looking for some decently priced sushi. Food: Ordered 4 different roles: Stuffed Jalapeño Roll, Play Boy Roll, Sensual Pleasure Roll, and Dragon Roll. Liked all of them but favorites among the 4 was the Sensual Pleasure Roll and the Stuffed Jalapeño Roll for me. Would definitely come back to try other rolls. Service: Seated right away during dinner time but we saw we beat a couple of groups so it does get busy. Our waitress checked in on us frequently and our food came out fairly quick and at the same time. Ambiance: Smaller dining room but they utilize the sides well as we sat at some bar seating next to the window. I'd say good for parties of 2-4 but may get cramped for larger groups. Water: Fan of their big water cups! Got plenty of refills too so no complaints. Overall: Wanted to try a sushi spot I hadn't been to on Convoy and was not disappointed! Would go again. read more

Sushi Kuchi never disappoints and is a tried and true sushi joint with an extensive menu that caters to different palates. We've learned our lesson over the past few visits, and limit what we order if the dynamite roll is what we're craving. It's humongous, served warm, is filled and topped with so many amazing things, and almost embarrassing to eat because it's so gigantic. On this visit, we ordered a cup of miso, the dynamite roll, a California roll, and a tuna roll. The sushi is always fresh, always well presented, and always delicious. read more

Great sushi and great friendly service. Cute Dog friendly patio. My dog felt very safe there.

Pretty busy but got a seat pretty fast, waitress was nice and attentive despite all the people, they've always got great deal combo things going on so i just went with a deep fried roll combo and a sake bomb which i definitely recommend. the deep fried rolls came pretty fast too. spent like 40 bucks for two people and was crazy full of sushi so for sure recommend going, parking is just kinda messed up. read more

We are currently dining in at the moment. We are celebrating our friend getting a job and I made mention of it because we wanted to order a second round of sake bombs.
