Sushiya - San Marcos

The cook and waiter are so wonderful. Nice smile and welcoming atmosphere. I’ve been visiting here in Cali and have went back so many times. The food is great!!! Best sushi I have ever had and so was the rice!!Food: 5/5

We loved the Sushiya when we lived in Eastlake. Thought we would enjoy the San Marco Sushiya on our visit to San Diego. We 'll never know.Internet and sign said open at 11:00, but sign was flipped to Closed. Door was wide open. Multiple groups of people stopped in, setting off the entrance chirp to let them know they had guests. They never acknowledged anyone. We left at 11:17. It was a blessing in disguise, as we went to Pita 's Mediterranean in the same complex and had an amazing lunch.

The food and the service has been exemplary. You get what you give I/e; be kind and courteous and you 'll get great service. But I 'd your rude or condescending you 'll most likely get cold, uninvested service!!!! I love this place it 's my go to sushi restaurant that I take all my friends to!!

This place was horrible. They told me they were closing at 7:30 and her website says 9 PM yeah and then let me sit down but give me stink eye the whole time and demand that I order within five minutes. Do not recommend this place. It's not comfortable.

Very often when going out to a new place, I will leave myself notes on Yelp, so I can better remember my experience when the time comes to write about it. This is especially useful when I let long periods go in between the eating and the reviewing. Of course, here I am now, more than three years later since coming out to Sushiya, and all I have to go by are a few pictures and a lone note proclaiming, "not that great. "Not gonna lie, I have to stick by that. Valentine 's Day of 2020, leaving the kids at home, we snuck away for a chance to be alone with good food at a new spot nearby. There was a fair sized crowd that night and COVID hadn 't yet closed everything down. Settling in, we grabbed a small table near the front and ordered.We started with the Edamame, basic and not bad, though it would always be better with some garlic to kick things up a bit. Still, a nice beginning to the evening.Next up was the Popcorn Lobster Roll. Great on paper, gorgeously plated and fun to look at, but a bit underwhelming in flavor. It reminded me of two other dishes I 've had, also with lobster chunks, both also fried. Starting to think that lobster doesn 't ever work well in sushi.Then there was the Golden Tiger, the only thing I remember about this roll was that it put in mind that the only fried roll that should have cream cheese in it was a Jalapeño popper.Our last order was their Crunch Onion, similar to (but not even coming close) to the Hotty Hotty over at Blue Ocean. While ambitious in concept, it doesn 't have that same kind of salty crunch, or overall good mix of flavors that we were hoping was there.Also on the table we 're our regular selections of a California and Philadelphia Rolls. The latter was standard, but the former had a crab stick instead of a surimi salad which is ALWAYS a warning sign anytime we go out for sushi.In the end, after coming here, I had little interest in writing about it right away. There was no drive to come back out to try it again or see if we could find better fare on their menu. There are definitely better sushi places to go and enjoy better food. I very much doubt I will ever come back here again, which is sad; but with so many other choices nearby, it 's tough to justify giving this place a second look.
