The food is very GOOD. The sushi is fresh, delicious and satisfying. Fresh fish is the star, they do not over prepare the rolls or sushi. I love that there isn’t 100 rolls to pick from, selection is thought out and curated. Service and ambiance is GREAT! 100% recommend if you like upscale quality that comes off fun and chill over stuffy and “fancy”.

Fantastic sushi with a few creative creations that didn’t disappoint! Our server was FANTASTIC and stated that we picked all of his favorite dishes. The musical soundtrack modestly playing over the restaurant’s speakers was great too! As a connoisseur of HipHop I really appreciated their “deep-cut” selections. BRAVO Sushi San. I WILL DEFINITELY be back!!!

Sushi San was awesome from beginning to end! The whole staff was great. We celebrated our son's 16th birthday there. He picked it after doing some research, 'cause he'd heard it was always good. We had a blast and will totally go back.

I always have a great time at Sushi San, whether it's Brunch, Lunch, or dinner. They are simply THE BEST!!!! Everything at Sushi San is excellent: the Food (the best Chutoro is here), the atmosphere, and, of course, the people working there. Daniel is my favorite, the Master of hospitality!
