Great experience tonight. We had a bigger group with a bunch of kids, and they were very accommodating and patient. Food was great, as was the service.I’m not much of a sushi guy myself so I got the sesame chicken with rice and gyoza, and both were fantastic.My family all said the rolls they ordered were amazing, and they all loved them.Parking was easy with plenty of open spots.

TL:DR: For real, don't skip this place! Unassuming outside, lovely + clean inside, and absolutely FANTASTIC FOOD + service. (No, not paid reviewer or friend of the biz.)PREFACE: Our family LOVES sushi and Asian food. So we have become rather picky when it comes to giving out high praise. We were visiting family and having a bit of a vacation, which is how we came to Sushi District. We travel A LOT, so we have had food and sushi nationally, in every state but HI + AK, from expensive to the cheapest in price, to fancy restaurants to food trucks and grocery stores etc.SERVICE, ATMOSPHERE, AND GENERAL: This was our first time here and we arrived just after lunch time and the staff was amazingly attentive and made sure we had anything and everything we needed for our time. Drinks were kept full, ice quantity was just right, and every drink tasted fresh and like you'd want it too. (Unfort, we had several instances on this trip at other places where the water tasted bad or even smelled like wet dog. NOT here though....such a relief!) I LOOOOVE that they use aluminum cups because its one of the few truly renewable, recyclable, and reusable materials outside of glass. I love that the kids did NOT get plastic cups either and the straws were fully compostable. They have a pretty large menu and I really dig that they have a picture of nearly all their sushi options on it and the description of contents. We love to try new and "old faithfuls" when we go out, so having pics and info is really nice to try new things and not get rolls that are too redundant in flavor profile.FOOD: Easily the BEST sushi we have had in YEARS! 20/10. Our kids got dumplings/gyoza and teriyaki bowls too and those were equally fantastic. The dumpling sauce should be bottled and sold nationally and put everyone else to shame. Seriously. The teriyaki sauce is EXACTLY the flavor and consistency of the ideal sauce from your mind too, which is really hard to find (often places are too bland, too thin, too thick, too sweet...). Each cooked item was perfectly cooked, no joke. No burnt chicken bits anywhere....only lovely caramelization and unctuous flavor (without bitter or burnt parts, which kids universally seem to hate, but is so easy to burn when it comes to sweeter sauces). The sushi though...really everything...but the sushi I would happily eat everyday if we lived in CA. One of the most flavorful Cali rolls I've had in years, probably ever. Tempura batter was crisp, light, flavorful, and not greasy...exactly the qualities when you think "perfect tempura." We had 4 rolls in total: 2 raw, 2 cooked. The raw rolls were a gorgeous rainbow of fish color, ultra fresh, and so super tasty. I'm not a huge raw fish fan, my partner is, and I usually only try 1 piece of each raw roll just to say I tried it, but these were so yummm that I actually wanted more, for the first time EVER. The rice on the sushi and in the bowls were perfect in consistency and taste. I often dislike when a place uses too much vinegar in their rice that its noticeable. (My taste buds are not a fan of vinegar flavor even 1% in my rice.) This had 0 of that issue....the rice for sushi was wonderfully sticky, 0 vinegar flavor or smell, and the bowl rice was fluffy and both flavorful and well/properly cooked and stored (as in no underdone or dried out bits).I swear I could go on and on for days about how great it was, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration. (And no, I don't know the owners or staff and I wasn't asked for or paid for this positive review.) So I will leave my review at that. The only CON might be that the parking lot, with so many restaurants in the area, was a bit cramped and full, but we still found a spot. If we had been in the area longer, it might've been nice to try the chicken next door because it smelled yummy, but I'm ULTRA glad we didn't go there because Sushi District was THAT good.

Came here on a sat afternoon and besides the service being really slow (only 4 customers in restaurant) the young man serving us was walking around coughing and snorting everywhere. Completely disgusting and killed my appetite. With covid going around, it's ridiculous that they would let him come to work visibly and audibly sick and be around other people's food. Completely irresponsible owners.

Absolutely love this place. Their bento boxes are the best and have lots of options.

The food was amazing. Great cuts of fish, fun and tasty rolls.
Great food, huge portions, and convenient. I ordered 2 bento's of the 3 items menu and 2 rolls. Everything was as I expected, no surprises and good seasoning. I would come again if in the area for convenience to get food to go as I did this time. Service was quick and waitress wasted no time to enter my order. The restaurant itself is small so more appropriate for intimate setting, therefore no recommended for large parties.

5/5!!! Sushi fish is VERY fresh, the service is awesome and the ambience is very intimate, such a great spot for a date night!!!
A+! We love sushi and already have our favorite places- we were in the area and thought we would give this place a try. It exceeded our expectations and we're moving them up to the top of our favorites list. We tried the Batman, Lemon and Fantasy, among other rolls- we loved them all. Thank you guys for everything!

We walked in for a to-go and ordered two salmon rolls and miso soup. This place is super cute inside and smaller. I really wanted to like this place more but the assembly of the sushi for the price wasn't equivalent. The sushi itself was fresh and all tasted great but the seaweed on the outside didn't wrap fully around so some of the rolls were coming apart. I was pretty bummed about that especially compared to the price. I would come back and give it another try just because it's in a location I like and I genuinely wanted to like this place!

Wide varieties of speciality sushi rolls to choose from. All ingredients are fresh and tasty. The decor and the tidiness could be better though
