First time at Liberty Public Market? It was for me, and my culinary compass was spinning out of control- until I caught a glimpse of The Sushi Stand. The Sushi Stand is, well, a sushi stand that sits (stands?) at one corner of the massive 22,000 sq ft food hall. With clean aesthetics and an eclectic menu, it instantly stands out from its many competitors. Rolls are made to order so wait time is expected but reasonable and worth every minute the second you unpackage. Lined parallel along the edges of a rectangular box, the presentation of the two rolls was arresting. The Beef Roll (shrimp tempura, seared beef) and Black and Yellow (spicy tuna, seared hamachi) were both sumptuous. Details like truffle aoili and seared lemon slices on the rolls, respectively, underlined their best flavors. I'm not sure what stall I'll end up at next time I'm at this market, but The Sushi Stand sets a high bar. Sitting at the corner doesn't mean you're unimportant. Conversely, sometimes, it means that you're a cornerstone. read more

The Sushi Stand This placed looked good so we decided to hope in line and get a roll. The line moved kind of slow and the display of sushi didn't have much inside so they were pulling sushi out from other coolers. The boy who took our order didn't really have any hospitality or inviting feeling, he was just there to take orders. We ordered the Salmon Nigiri and the What's Poppin Roll. What's Poppin was a pretty decent roll, not the best I've ever had but it was fried nicely without cooking the salmon inside which I liked. The salmon nigiri was a little too slimy and tasted like the ocean, not in a fishy way but not in a good way either.. I would honestly pass on this place, if you're craving good sushi, I definitely wouldn't go out of my way to the public market for it.. it was a Saturday when we came so you would expect the sushi to be freshly caught but I don't think it was.. Good but not great sushi.. I will skip it next time.. read more

One of the many stalls within the food halls of liberty station but a good one. You can order any sushi roll as a sushi burrito which is what I did with the salmon avocado roll. I found the fish to be fresh and of good quality. Service was quick and with a smile and they had my order ready within about 5 minutes (when I went there wasn't much of a line). It's tucked away in the corner and has a few communal seats in the area like the rest of the food hall. read more

Every time I met liberty market, I always go to the sushi stand. It seems like it's always the same guy that works there and he's so nice. I always order the cucumber salad and California rolls and they are delicious. I can't speak to the ambience because I don't eat near the sushi place. I usually eat in a different location, but I'm sure it would be cool to eat around there. read more

I absolutely adore Liberty Station Public Market & I decided to grab a roll from The Sushi Stand tonight. I opted for the Surfin' USA ($18.50)-(Krab, Shrimp Tempura, Avocado, Spicy Tuna, Spicy Sauce, Spicy Mayo, Fried Shallots, & Negi) It also comes with sesame seeds but I'm not a fan, so I asked the chef who took my order not to include them. The roll was freshly prepared in front of me and it was ready in about 10 minutes. I brought it home & was delighted by the aesthetic presentation of the roll. I also appreciated the sturdy paper box with sliding cover, little paper cup for my soy sauce, the wasabi & fresh ginger. The Roll: in a word... Delightful! It went down my gullet like butta. The flavors were fresh and smooth. This was an incredibly enjoyable treat! Sushi Stand has quite a few roll options, onigiri, poke & more. You will not be disappointed if you try The Sushi Stand! Notes: Indoor & outdoor seating throughout the Public Market Area, tons of parking, it can get very busy on weekends! read more

Im actually super bummed I didn't like this place. I'm not sure if it was just that day since no one else seems to mention it, but the fish tasted gross. It didn't taste fresh at all. I've tried alot of sushi spots in SD and immediately on the first bite I knew I didn't like it. Also, the roll was poorly made but that doesn't bother me too much. It's all about flavor.. sadly this was not it. Aside from the fish, the overall taste was nothing special. read more

Mid food, you seat outside at some benches. Service was fairly quick, but the food was not mind blowing

I needed a snack because the food options at The Liberty Station food hall is ridiculous. I'm so glad I saw onigiri on the menu. We got tuna, tofu with avocado, beef and salmon. Honestly, I was full after that snack of four Onigiris. Wonderful to see they weren't packed in plastic. All the flavors were good. I would definitely go back and try their sushi. The service was awesome too! read more

Liberty station was in need of some sushi! This stand has such great quality for a grab and go and aesthetically pleasing packaging! Even their pole came in a fancy box. All the rolls on their menu are packed with flavor and they even torch their toppings like the salmon on my roll. Only wish the orders didn't take so long and there's not really an area to stand in the way of walking traffic. read more

I recently had lunch at Sushi Stand in Liberty Station. Several months prior, my husband had brought home a couple of sushi rolls, and I remember I liked how they were all so neatly packed in the cute cardboard boxes. Anyway, I was busy shopping and I found myself at Liberty Public Market looking for some food. I was rather indecisive, but chose a poke bowl at Sushi Stand. Unfortunately, I found the bowl to be too expensive, as all of the other ingredients were add-ons. First, they didn't offer salad as an option for the base. White rice was the only choice. It came with edamame and cucumbers only. I paid extra for massage and crab salad. I will say that the fish was flavorful and fresh, but there wasn't much of it. The bowl was rather pricey and since I didn't want the rice, I found myself quite hungry afterward. Perhaps the Sushi Stand may be decent for sushi rolls, but I would get my poke elsewhere. read more

Ive been seeing these guys on IG for months so i finally decided to give them a try and WOW, im impressed. I got the tequila sunrise roll and miso soup. Their rolls all range from 16-20$ which is normal imo. The tequila sunrise was delightful lots of fish and amazing combo of sweet and savory flavors. The miso soup was $5 but the cup is a decent size and the soup itself is super flavorful. Small stand located in the corner of the liberty station market. Staff is nice. Id definitely come back here. read more

Food - 3.5 service - 3.5 ambiance - it's fine it's just a food hall. I was craving sushi and this one gets good reviews. Located in liberty market in the far corner, it's been here at least two years as I came here two years ago. Got the sushi prince roll. Worker said it's popular. It tasted fine, and was cold which I like. But the rice is definitely overcooked and the rice to fish ratio is too high. The packaging is cute and the cucumber salad was fine. But it's very average at best sushi. read more

If you're looking for a sushi roll without any raw contents, Eye of the Tiger is absolutely delicious. Worth every cent of the price. The basic rolls - like salmon and avocado - are very well-priced and make for a more affordable option to take my kids to than most other sushi places. Fresh Prince was very fresh tasting, especially because of the ponzu, but wasn't as flavorful as the other rolls. Their brand packaging is really nice quality. It makes for a fancy feeling to-go sushi picnic. read more

I had a rough day, so I figured I'd cheer myself up with some sushi... and then immediately dropped the entire roll in the parking lot trying to get into my car. Love that for me lol I walked back in and asked if they'd be willing to remake it--even though they had literally just made it--and without hesitation, they said yes. They were super kind and understanding! And the best part? The sushi was so good! Like fresh, flavorful, and exactly what I needed. Between the amazing food and the genuinely kind service, they've got a customer for life. Highly recommend--just try not to throw yours on the ground like I did! read more

Cutest boxes of sushi! I saw this place online and since it had good reviews I wanted to give it a try so I could also get a box of sushi! The sushi was good, but the box made it even better. The staff was nice and let me customize my order to order a single onigiri with custom filling instead of 4, which is listed on the menu. I got the fresh prince roll and it was good. I don't think I'd go out of my way to come back to this place, but would definitely get it again if I'm at liberty station. Really the box was the best part! read more

From the get go, the place seemed really nice and it really made me crave sushi. When I got my roll, the packaging was really cute and compact (forgot to take a pic of it). For it being called spicy, it was not so spicy (prob because of spice tolerance), but there was some. It was very filling and the presentation was nice. I had no issue with the flavor honestly because it was really good, but just wanted it a little spicier. read more

The best thing about this place is their cute packaging. It is perfectly sized and I love the color. I tried their miso soup and the size of the tofu was impressive, but I only got one piece. Also, all I could taste was salt. Horrible. I got their Fresh Prince roll and, honestly, it was a below average roll. Not the worst I've ever had, but not worth the ridiculous price whatsoever. We're in San Diego, so there are a lot of other sushi options that I would rather go to for a cheaper price. read more

So good! I've tried a few things off their menu now and have yet to be disappointed. The Fresh Prince roll & their nigiri are my faves. The onigiri is fantastic, but could be better. Service is speedy and they still fulfill quality orders. Liberty Public Market is such a cute place, lots of places to choose to sit. read more

I am a sucker for good sushi and a great concept. Sushi stand at the liberty public market is a hot spot. Their rolls were fresh and so much flavor. The guys working there were super nice. You just have to be extremely patient and perhaps plan to explore the market place after ordering because it took about 25-35 minutes to get our rolls on a Saturday afternoon. I thought it was worth it but I could see people getting a little antsy. read more

Upon entering Liberty Market, it was immediately to our left in the far corner (of course, depending on which entrance you enter from, this would change - it's the one next to the beer stand, left of the mini donuts, diagonal to bathrooms/arcade, etc). What is this gem?! We ordered "I See Fire", "What's Poppin'", "The Beef", and a California roll, and everything was made to order and tasted fresh. The packaging is adorable, reminded me of a box of french macarons, and I loved that they are all about being environmentally conscious. Given it is our first time experiencing Liberty Market, I can't speak to much, but this was a great spot and we thoroughly enjoyed our lunch here. read more

Super slow for pick up order. Placed online order at 3:11, with a confirmation stating it would be ready at 3:35. I walked up at 3:40 and the one big dude working said he just now got the order "because the machine needed to be updated and didn't send the order". He said give me 10 minutes to make it. I'm annoyed but said, that's fine. 20 minutes after that conversation, my sushi is ready. So 25 minutes after they said it was supposed to be ready, it was ready. I already paid for the tip at the time I ordered, so I can't pull that back. Best I can do now is give a lower rating to alert others not to order pick up or to-go. read more

We visited the sushi stand located on the corner of liberty station. The venue was clean and small with seating located near by. I asked the cashier what he would order on his lunch and he said the "I see fire roll" and his coworker said the "fresh prince", so I ordered both. The sushi was alright, I preferred the roll with lemon. But neither rolls wowed me or my boyfriend. I would say it's pretty basic and good for a pinch if you're in the area and have a need for a quick sushi fix. 6/10 food What stood out to me was the service. The employees I met tonight are the type of people who are down to earth, cool, and make ya feel completely welcome. 10/10 service. read more

The sushi is pretty good. It's not the best but it's not bad. It did taste fresh. The packaging is cool and unique. I may be back.

The Sushi stand is located inside The Liberty Public Market in Liberty Station. The indoor seatings are very limited, but there are outdoor seating in the Liberty market. The service was great and fast. I ordered the following -Song of the shrimp.   ($14.40) Kanikama , shrimp tempura, eel sauce panko -What's poppin?      ($17.30) Deep fried rolls, spicy kinukama, salmon spicy mayo, eel sauce green onions The rolls were delicious  and flavorful.

This stand is located inside Liberty Public Market. My friend arrived later, so I watched them make a few rolls while waiting. When she arrived, we decided to share the I See Fire, Black and Yellow, and Maria Maria rolls. The I See Fire is torched and was my favorite roll. She got a Kona coffee (in a can) to drink, while I chose the strawberry Ramune. The packaging is so cute and perfect to take on picnics! read more

Food: My sushi roll was so pretty to look at, but also very delicious. I love lemon, so the prince roll was the perfect roll as the lemon flavor was very strong! Service: You order at the front and wait for your order to be ready. Staff was very nice and quick. Ambiance: The Sushi Stand is inside the Liberty Public Market so it tends to get very busy and hectic, especially during peak hours. It's also very close to another food stand, which makes it hard to know where the line is. However, there's tables inside the market or outside once you get your order. You can also see how they make your roll while you wait. read more

Terrible food, made me very sick. The fish wasn't fresh and when I contacted the restaurant multiple times they ignored me.

I See Fire Roll - i expected it to be spicy due to the name but it wasn't, it was a great combo and I loved the sauce on it Spicy Tuna roll - - nothing special, would get another specialty roll instead next time Food Quality - - it was all fresh and quality ingredients Wait time - - it took about twenty minutes to prepare, there weren't many people waiting but they had a ton of to go orders, so maybe order ahead of time It can be very hit and miss to find tables there read more

Whenever we visit liberty public market, my family and I separate and order a variety of items from the different vendors and meet up at a table to share our food and eat. My husband picked up a sushi roll from here. The roll was nicely packaged in a box, along with ginger, wasabi and soy sauce packets. Per the menu, the "I see fire roll" is described as: Spicy kanikama, shrimp tempura, avocado, seared salmon, torched curry mayo, negi, crunchy garlic, and sesame seeds. It was fresh and delicious! Can't wait to try their other rolls next time! read more

Great rolls here as they are super fresh and good flavors. I admit the packaging is what makes the Sushi Stand, stand out. I believe the prices have gone up since they have opened but I believe the quality for them matches the price. I was able to try their Black and Yellow roll. The roll was very intricate and had little touches like seared hamachi and even the lemon. I was pleased with my roll, however, the price is a bit much for the takeout style ($19). I don't know if I will be back, but I do recommend you give them a try at Liberty Station. read more

I have been meaning to try this sushi spot for a while now after seeing it on instagram and a trip to the public market meant it was time to try a roll! I will say this roll was super good but the price is what kind of throws me off. I would definitely order multiple if it wasn't going to be super expensive but I am glad I got to share one with my boyfriend. The flavors were amazing and the presentation in the box is really an elevated feel that I loved. For a gourmet sushi roll the service was pretty quick considering it was a busy day in the public market. I want to come back but the price may detour me for a special occasion or when I want to splurge on great sushi! read more

YESSS. Liberty station has fresh sushi rolls now and I'm happy to report - they are GOOD. If there's a line, don't worry, the sushi chefs provide quick service. I got my rolls on a busy Saturday afternoon less than 10 minutes after ordering them. Thank goodness for Yelp. I ordered the "I See Fire Roll" and "Fresh Prince" because of its popularity among the Yelp community. The "I See Fire" roll was my absolute favorite. It's crunchy because of the shrimp tempura inside and crunchy garlic on top. The seared salmon and mayo were torched to perfection. The roll itself nearly melted in my mouth. So dang good. I would order it again. The fresh prince roll tasted more fresh, light and spicy. That one was my fiancés favorite. I love the boxes they come in. They knocked it out of the park with presentation. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more! read more

Ordered the rainbow roll and their specialty salmon avocado roll. No line on a Sunday evening and I had if in my hands less than 10 min. Friendly expedient service. About 30 bucks for both so average price I believe. I drove it over an hour away to my home and they still tasted delicious. No complaints or anything else to add. Friendly expedient service and very nice tasting sushi. Recommend if in/around the liberty station area. read more

Came to the sushi stand as it popped up suggested by Yelp. Perfect timing as I was just around the corner picking up my best friend from the airport... who came from Japan! Should say well, I know Japan's sushi is probably better than anything in the US, though let's give it a shot! It did not disappoint. It's hidden inside the Liberty Public Market at the Liberty Station in Point Loma, the market is super cute, very cultural diverse with tons of shops and eateries, all small locally owned businesses. I tried their what's popping? Roll, it's deep fried; but to perfection! Not super loaded with batter, just the right amount for a perfect crisp! My friend ordered the Surfing USA and a spicy tuna roll, he was delighted with the hot tuna! The place was minutes away from their advertised opening time however the staff happily tended to us, so that was super nice of them! Will definitely say that I'll gladly come back to this place and try out different rolls out of their menu; and hope they're as good as todays! read more

The Sushi Stand has taken over a Liberty Public Market corner stall that used to be the home of prior dessert vendors that are now out of business. They offer a dozen different types of specialty maki rolls on the menu. What's unique is the cardboard sleeve that is provided for each roll. It's sturdy and looks nice as a gift box for something sweet like candy, but to me, the packaging is overkill for sushi rolls. I noticed that most of the rolls had spicy kani or kanikama as the protein. For those who are unaware, kani is otherwise known as imitation krab meat. With that being listed as the first ingredient, it's hard not to gripe about prices as high as $16.50 for a roll in which real fish is playing second fiddle to imitation krab meat. Only three rolls did not have kani as a component so I chose two of them for my order, the Fresh Prince and the Black and Yellow. The first one had spicy tuna, avocado, salmon, lemon slices, ponzu, micro cilantro, and sesame seeds as ingredients. The second one featured spicy tuna, tempura shishito, avocado, seared hamachi, seared lemon, ponzu, togarashi, and micro cilantro. Each product was cut into an unusual number of pieces (nine) with a circumference that was average in size for a maki roll at local Japanese restaurants. Slices of ginger, a wad of wasabi, and packets of soy sauce were included inside each sleeve. Both rolls had a high citrusy flavor profile with the lemon and ponzu. If this vendor could emphasize the use of the salmon, tuna, and yellowtail that they have on hand instead of kani, then I would have less concern about the pricing. A greater selection of seafood like eel, scallops, or uni would bring different textures and flavors that could be incorporated into the rolls. The concept is good at The Sushi Stand, yet the quality doesn't match all the five star reviews that have been posted. read more
