Great place for simple and tasty maki rolls. We ordered for delivery and were pleased to find that both orders of futomaki came with two gyoza, edamame, and a side salad. It was a very affordable and delicious lunch for under $15 for two people. read more

My sister and I wanted a quick sushi fix and since we were around the area. We stopped by after getting our Jamba juices some doors down. They have an affordable list of lunch specials. IIRC we ordered the spicy tuna tempura, crunch maki, dynamite maki, and udon. Definitely filled up our tummies. read more

SushiMan - Sushi...udon. yums - Japanese Near Me - San Diego, California

Yum! The quality of sushi is top notch, lots of options, including non-sushi items. The udon is delicious! Also the volcano chicken is the perfect mix of spicy and sweet. I love that the maki rolls come with edamame, gyoza, and a salad. You get a lot for your money. The ginger is the best I've had at a sushi joint in a very long time. My only complaint is that I wish they have a few more non-shellfish specialty sushi rolls since I have an allergy. Sushiman is our go-to sushi restaurant! read more

I was starving and was in the area so I decided to stop by this place & try it out. I got the maki masago california roll and it was so much better than what I had initially expected. It actually came with a bit of salad (wish they would use sesame dressing or similar instead of ranch)and 2 gyoza dumplings. I will definitely come back and try out their other rolls. read more

Just ordered grubhub..everything was so cheap now I know why all the food was gross and had a wierd aftertaste and the chicken teriyaki was really bad really wierd taste and how do u mess up sushi it also had a wierd taste..the rice in our bento box was soggy. I dont know it's an off day for them but I will not eat here again read more

Don't know why I chose to eat here when I knew it wouldn't be any good. Started off with horrible customer service, I asked the teller if she had a nutrition menu or if she had any idea how many calories would be in my meal. She had no idea nor did she have a clue about what I was taking about. I'm just trying to eat a little healthier, not trying to sound like a D Bab but I'm sure she took it that way by the tone of her voice. As for the food, you get what you pay for and that isn't much. This is a fast food sushi restaurant so if you want quality, you chose the wrong place. It's dirty floors and Mexican music killed the ambiance while the food killed any hopes of ever coming back here again. Lesson learned. read more

If you're cold and trying to get some udon noodles in the area, do NOT sleep on SushiMan!!! They have a really friendly cashier who knows her info and good food I've came here once for sushi and loved it. This time I got the Udon Plus A-604 & I was NOT disappointed. I will most definitely be coming back on another cold day read more

My new favorite place !!!!!!! I will always get my sushi from here from now on this place is amazing !! And the service idk the ladies name in the front but she's so adorable and her energy / personality is awesome! She's so sweet! read more

Great place for take out and they are very quick with your orders. The prices are also extremely affordable. I usually get the crunch or philly maki - all makis come with a small portion of salad, 2 gyoza, and 2 edamame. They also have daily specials during the week. read more

Fantastic prices for pretty good sushi. They do not skimp at all on the size of their rolls. The best thing about this place is how insanely cheap it is not just for the sushi roll, but they give you chicken karage and a salad as well, fantastic deal. The lady at the front was super friendly as well. Only complaint was they barely put any tuna in the hand rolls, don't recommend those. read more

This place has got to be the cheapest place ever. I know times are hard right now but MAN!!! I go in and order sushi for three people. I say please separate the orders. They put half the sushi in one container and half in another. Dumb right. Well get this, I ask for Siracha she gives me 3 packs. I tell her that is not enough so she give me 3 more very reluctantly. Now mind you I ordered 8 pieces per person you would think she could give it to me accordingly. I'm done with this place. Every time I go there I experience the same problem. I went there because it's close to home but I'm done. I don't recommend this place to anyone. read more

You know that there is something seriously wrong when you step inside a "sushi" spot with Usher's "Let It Burn" and "Confessions" playing loudly inside. That being said, this is fast food chain-type sushi. I'm not a sushi expert, but I have lived in Japan for over three years. For those that have lived in Japan like myself knows what real sushi and sushi establishments are like. I think many of these reviews of this place are from people that have never had real sushi before, or from those who are too ignorant to know the difference. I prefer the sushi spots where you can ACTUALLY SEE the chef preparing the sushi in front of you. In addition, I also enjoy the spots that have the kaiten-zushi (or conveyor belt) style where you can collect fresh sushi off the belt immediately after the chef prepares it. The prices are cheap here, but the rolls are oversized. Way too much rice inside of them as well and as a result the rolls fall apart easily. In all honesty you can get this type of sushi at a convenience store and the search for good authentic sushi in San Diego continues. Try it if you must. read more

I usually try to stay away from corporate chain sushi restaurants...but I was craving...and was in the area Anywhoo...I went in and noticed it was empty...sometimes thats a good thing because usually sushi places are super busy during lunch...but sometimes that could be a bad thing...no business probably means not so great food/prices...I asked the cashier to make me something spicy that is good...not just spicy! =P The girl recommended the Dynamite Maki! Looked like they just threw some SHHhh...together and just called it sushi but DAMN was that SHHHhh Hella good!!! I loved it! I loved it so dang much I went there again two days later and got some more! That touched a special part of my taste buds and tummy! Just what I wanted! It's prices are average to what most of the corporate sushi places are priced but their menu is pretty good! ...LOL! about the menu...that was my first time ever seeing two huge plasma screen menus in a restaurant...cute! They went all out with the lime green decor. Anyway! I'm definitely coming back for more!!! =D read more

I, too, stopped by SushiMan after going to the gym a few doors down (24 Hour Fitness) one night and was pleasantly surprised. I thought this was a fast-food place, but it is kind of like the to-go area of Sushi Deli 2 on a bigger scale (with seating). I was immediately impressed by the fancy plasma screens with the menu items, and equally impressed by the quick, knowledgeable service I received. I am usually not a fan of walking in to a place alone for the first time when the entire menu is foreign to me, but I was treated with patience and a smile, which goes a long way in my book. I ordered a ton of food to go and after waiting less than ten minutes I was handed several bags of amazing food for dinner to serve three people, from perfectly cooked rice bowls to a super-fresh shrimp tempura roll, steamed gyoza, miso soups in small Styrofoam cups and edamame. Every single thing was delicious! I'll be back, SushiMan, and next time I won't be sweaty from the gym, so we can sit down and enjoy our food right away. read more

This place brings me good memories of being on the Big Island in Hawaii. It' s all about their Ahi poke! Yum! Just give me a big bowl of sushi rice topped w/ poke & furikake (dried seaweed, sesame seed, & salt seasoning) & I am in heaven! ;-D You can have your poke donburi style (over a big bowl of white rice) or as a bento box (w/ a small side salad & white rice & a couple of gyoza)...either way, both delicious! Service fast & reasonably priced (both the above for $8 each). Great place for lunch. read more

We were in Sam's Club when we decided we wanted sushi for lunch. We gave them a try and were not disappointed. They make a no frills sushi that is fresh. We had the Dynamite Maki which had a nice spicy touch. We also had the Hawaiian, Crunch, Rainbow and Spicy Tuna Maki. They were all very good. The ingredients were fresh but the rolls were not up to the pat of a true sushi place. They were good to the taste but are loosely rolled and can fall apart. I added on the miso soup to our order. It had some bits of tofu and seaweed in it. We all enjoyed it and it was flavorful. So if you are in the area and have a craving for some good sushi they have what you need. Although I prefer Sushi Diner I do eat here on occasion when time is of the essence... read more

Hands down the worst sushi in town! Disgusting! If you gave this place a good review, you must be friends with the owner or don't have any taste buds. Costco sushi tastes better. read more

Today is my wedding anniversary, and it was brought to me by SushiMan. How can you not love a place with veritable childrens bookesque posters of the sushi on their windows, which is also displayed in slide shows on sideways flatscreens inside? Such a fabulous waste of money in this economy, I love it! The girls at the counter are uber sweet, and to finish off a strange bit of luck that continued all day for us, I was asked to select an item to replace the shrimp they ran out of. HOT DAMN, now I don't have to order more Ikura! Weeee! Their prices are very fair, so I thought they'd skimp a little on portion size. NO! Ignorant was I! The portions were ample AND it was the best sushi I'd had in a while. Great, rich quality and not a disapointment in the least. This is my new regular joint. Lemon Grove is finally stepping it up! read more

When my bf brought me here, he didn't mention that it was a "to go" sushi restaurant. All he said was they had some good poke, and that he comes here almost once a week. Walked in, and was instantly convinced that this Panda Express-like place couldn't be putting out any decent food. I was proven wrong. Here's what we ordered: 1. Ahi Poke Donburi (2) 2. Spicy Salmon Nigiri 3. Steamed gyoza 4. Philadelphia roll 5. Miso Soup (comes with the donburi) Total $31.00 Everything was great, and the fact that my expectations were low, made it even greater. The poke was fabulous, some of the best I've ever had in California. It's served Hawaiian Style, with hardly anything on it, but it was fresh and very tasty. I have nothing bad to say, at all, about this place about the food and it's taste or quality. Only complaint is that even if you eat in, you still eat off of disposable plates, bowls, etc. Aside from that, it's cheap, fast and delish. I'll definitely be back. read more

If i could give half stars, this would be a 3.5. I'll come here every now and then when I crave sushi, but don't want to send too much money. The prices are pretty cheap - hand rolls are about 2-3 dollars and there are four pretty large pieces in a roll. Parking isn't a problem and the decor isn't too bad. Why this isn't a four is because it doesn't seem very fresh. Sometimes my brother will get a cali roll and a tuna roll and they smell...well, fishy. I normally get a spicy tuna and spicy salmon roll, and every now and then there's a LOT of fat on the fish. Also, it takes quite a while to get your order. I'll normally wait here 15 minutes if it's empty, 30 when there are a few people. This isn't the best place to get sushi, but in no ways is it a bad place. read more

Horrible just horrible. Asked questions about menu woman said never tried. Then asked for ramen and doesn't come with nothing but noodles I found out. Received my ramen and it was just noodles from top ramen. I spent money that I could have just made at home. I had asked where the eggs were and she I guess didn't hear me. Then adds that's there scrambled assuming that I was going to want hard boiled because she probably knew ramen usually comes with eggs and so on .. horrible I would not order from here again. If they were willing to serve cheap cup of Noodles then imagine what they use to make sushi and everything else read more

This place is fresh & GOOD! I recommend the Dynamite maki & Shrimp Tempura Roll. But i highly recommend shrimp tempura roll (: it was super good! big rolls, fresh, cheap & good(; what can go wrong? read more

After running up Cowles mountain I decided to stop by sushi man and grab some quick sushi rolls. I went with the beef Maki just to try something different. The meal was overall good however a couple hours later I began to get the worst cramps of my life and shortly after that i ended throwing up through most of the night. It was a terrible night to say the least so dont go here unless FOOD POISIONING sounds like a meal you want to have!! read more

#1: Miso soup tastes like it was in a plastic bag while boiled. #2: Tidy and neat, but the food, get a taste of. #3: The shrimp tempura still had it's poop in it. #3: Food is D-R-Y! DRY! And that's all I have to say. read more

I think the sushi here is alright. Nothing crazy special and the prices are decent. However, I came in recently to order some sushi to-go and specifically asked for no avocado because I'm allergic. And they added avocado in one of the rolls that I couldn't eat. I basically had to toss it out because of the avocado. The chef here did not pay attention to the details of the order. I was quite disappointed. read more

On may 5th 2012, I ordered at 3:22 pm. Order was ready at 3:42pm. It took about 20 minutes just to get my order! It wasn't even busy. I only Odered 2 rolls! +expensive for ordinary. +okay tasting. +can get better tasting, quality sushi at other sushi places is SD that will most likely take less than 20 minutes to make! (*ahem like Sushi Hana in Rancho Penasquitos..FYI) Only came here because my boyfriend wanted jamba juice and I was really hungry. Wont be coming back. read more

I got an ad on my car for the grand opening of Sushiman, so I decided to give it a try. I wasn't disappointed. The price was reasonable, the portions were nice size, the fish was fresh,and the food was delicious! I got the Dynamite Maki Plate, and my wife got the Teriyaki Pork Combo. This is a good place to pop in for lunch, they have Bento boxes, and other combos to choose from. My only complaint, is that you can not buy a sushi roll with out getting a combo. Parking can be a problem on weekends, because they share a parking lot with 24 Hour Fitness, and Sam's Club read more

If you don't want amazing sushi and your on a budget this place is fine. Super cheap and I didn't have to pay that much, compairable sushi to what you'd get at a cafeteria nothing bad with it, just not amazing read more

SushiMan - Japanese Near Me - San Diego, California

See all

I had been wanting to check out this place since it opened. Like many others I go to the 24 Hour Fitness that shares its parking lot. I rolled in and ordered a sushi combo that included salad, cali rolls, miso soup, tuna, salmon, tamago, and shrimp. All for $9, too good to be true? YUP. I get through it all to my last bite of my cali roll, and wait, what's this chewy thing in my mouth? It's not fish, it's a fucking RUBBER BAND! Great!If I'm going to die from sushi it better be from a blowfish and not something used to wrap around a newspaper. On top of it all, I had to wait a good 20 minutes to get my order to go. No bueno. I won't be going back again. read more

Food was ok and service was terrible the girl and the register acted like she didn't care about my order and didn't want to be here! Was more concerned with texting on her phone! I asked for a to go menu and she had no clue where they were and when she asked they were out ? How can a place that does call in take out orders be out of menus read more

For the price and convenience, it's great. You should know what you're getting for this price. It so simple. Go here during regular hours, not before closing. Pick a number of the sushi you want. And then wait. It comes with a house salad and 2 pcs of gyoza. What value! read more

Disclaimer: I'm a huge sushi fan, so it's hard to go wrong with me. If you're looking for a fine cuisine review, this isn't it. That being said, I love this little place! Their prices are great, and they have awesome daily specials on top of that. I'll have to remember to take a picture next time. No matter what the day of the week, they have a bento box option and a sushi option. I've gotten out of here for about $5 feeling stuffed. If you ask, they're generous with the ginger/toppings. My new favorite spot! read more

SushiMan is my name and Inari is my game! Best Inarizushi rolls in town!! Inarizushi is a kind of sushi or rice ball. Sushi rice is stuffed in seasoned Aburaage tofu pouches. Inarizushi is technically sushi, but it is not something you order at nice sushi restaurants. It is easily found at supermarket delis, but, as you know, home made is the best. SushiMan is a very casual dinning experience and a perfect lunch spot. read more

SushiMan - A little bit of everything #vegetarian - Japanese Near Me - San Diego, California

I normally don't write reviews unless I absolutely hate the place or love it. I've been coming here since the place first open. The experience was always ok and the food was pretty good. As of the past year I've notice the service going down. I could hear the young new kitchen staffs over talking about the orders. One was a short hair Asian girl with an accent the other was a heavy long hair gal. The conversations weren't appropriate. I mean how unprofessional is that? Atleast keep them to a minimun. felt sorry for the girl in the front. I believe she was Hispanic with short hair. The poor girl was swamped with customers and I could tell she was fairly new. However she had her A game juggling everything in between. This place needs to keep things in order. Hire more staff especially during rush hour. Keep a professional atmosphere read more

I've driven by this place many times and decided to search it up on yelp before daring to step foot into this place. There are menus taped to the windows so you can check out prices before having to walk into the "to-go" joint. I decided to go for the dynamite maki (which comes with miso soup) and the philly roll. The wait for the food took quite some time for it being a "to-go" place. I waited a good 15-20mins staring at the plasma screen tv's showing the Tyra Banks show. The snazzy lime green accents in the restaurant was quite eye catching and looked quite modern. When I got home, I started with the dynamite maki. A bit disappointed. It was very large (about 8 pieces topped with spicy mayo, eel sauce(?)) However, eating it altogether wasn't a good mix of fishy, spicy, and tangyness so I found myself picking at the rolls. Next, I tried the miso soup. It was pretty good. It had bits and pieces of tofu in it. Then I devoured my philly roll! The roll pieces were larger than I'm used to--about double the size, but there were only 4 pieces (vs. 8 at other places) so I guess it evens out. The philly roll was so delicious! A lot better than I've had anywhere else! I will most likely go here again when I'm leaving the gym or craving for some fresh, quick, tasteful sushi. It's "The restaurant sushi--without the restaurant." read more

Best filling crunchy spicy tuna roll. I was amazed at how quick the order was and how flavorful the spicy tuna was. I'm def going back! read more

SushiMan - Crunchy spicy tuna roll to go - Japanese Near Me - San Diego, California

I'm normally in the shopping complex for my weekly Target trips or weekend Jamba. I've seen this place a handful of times but finally stopped by this afternoon for a late lunch. They have their daily specials and menu posted right on the Windows (hence luring me in for a crunch maki!) I was surprised by how much food was included in the special for just a little over $7 and I scored a side of miso soup for a quarter! There wasn't enough dressing for how much salad I got but that wasn't a problem since I ate this bad boy in the convenience of my own home. Overall, my belly and wallet are extremely pleased. I plan on stopping by again to fulfill my next sushi craving. read more

SushiMan - Saturday Crunch Maki Special w| a side of Miso Soup - Japanese Near Me - San Diego, California

This place is great if you want the sushi without having to sit down and feel stupid for not knowing what anything is. The girls are so helpful. When I went the firs time there was this sweet girl named Jasmine who still works there by the way, who took the time to literally explain every single thing on the menu to me. It didn't seem forced at all, very genuine girls they have working there. I am no a regular and usually get the Crunch Maki. This place is also good for those who don't like the whole raw fish part of sushi, because they have many cooked dishes too, Crunch Maki being one of them. The prices are very affordable and the portions are not skimpy at all. This should be everyones first time sushi experience. Leave the California Rolls in the dust and try something new! read more

NEVER again! I had the beef teriyaki bento and it's the worst I ever had. There was a piece of beef so hard that there was no way you can bite it or even use a knife. The rest was like mushy some type of meat or whatever it was. I took my food back and the girl seems to not know what to do. She took my food back to the cook and I could hear the cook yelling. I don't think that was appropriate. Right when we walk in the place, it was awkward. No one greeted us. There was someone behind the counter and she was aware we were there. She looked at us multiple times. But still no greeting took place. This place is very unprofessional and the food hardly edible. We were not impressed. read more

Their An amazing sushi spot,so kind and make delicious sushi. It's very clean and really accommodating
