Finally expanded!
While located in a mall, the chefs at Sushi House crank out decent nigiris, makis and special rolls that are a few steps above "mall food". They offer the basic stuff and their own creations - my favorite is mouthwatering Bay Scallop roll (baked bay scallops in a savory sauce atop California rolls.)

Their popularity and loyal following is evidenced by the frequent long waits but they've just doubled their capacity, which will hopefully help.

While sushi seems to be the main draw, the menu includes assorted appetizers, various teriyaki offerings, udon, tempura, and combinations. (I'd say stick to the sushi.)    [20 May 2002 21:48:32]

Good food but terrible service
The food was fresh and prepared very pleasing to the eye and palate. The portions were large, so we left quite full! However, the service was almost horrible enough to ruin the experience. They asked us to eat faster and leave so that others could occupy our table. They were pushy and rude in many other ways. So, I would highly recommend getting take-out.    [05 May 2003 17:00:04]

Don't Go Here
I am a frequent sushi eater and lover that this is probably this worst place I've been to in the S.F. Bay Area.
I had 3 bad experiences in 1 night because of this place.

1) Don't get fooled by the looks. I had the worst food poisoning. I threw up most of the night and on top of that bump appear all over my body. Basically, the fish ain't fresh.

2) The service sucked! It was overcrowded and there were only 2 servers running around to do everything. I asked the server to get me water and she unpleasantly said "WAIT!" and left and forgot about it. I had to wait 30 minutes to get a cup of water.

2) My girlfriend left her powder case on the table. We went back to get it and it was gone after just 1 hour. I asked the workers and they all just ignored us. Later, they said they don't have it. I know from experience in working in restaurants that it is VERY VERY UNLIKELY for customers to take other customers' stuff and it is more likely to be turned in. Basically, it is more likely that one of the workers took it!    [22 May 2003 04:37:52]

How Rude!
Although the food is decent, the service there is enough to drive a customer to never come back. I had to wait first 30 minutes to get seated then another 30 minutes to place my order. At the end of the meal, I place two twenty dollar bills to pay for a $21 meal. Later the waiter comes back and accuses us of handing only ONE twenty dollar. Can you believe the service... So absurd.. I used to be a regular but after many terrible incidents, just forget it. I work in a restaurant and I know what it's like. I am not a typical teenager who doesn't tip, it is rude to sterotype me on how appear a certain way. There was also a time, when I was waiting patiently on the wait list but when two older gentlemen walked in they got immediate seating. Oh man, I wanted to shout. I do have a source of income...and don't treat me like I'm some idiot.    [04 Aug 2003 14:03:12]

The Food is Almost Worth the Trip
The Good: The food here is pretty tasty, varied and relatively cheap. The sushi rolls are huge (like a burrito) and are packed with some good fish. The nigiri are also pretty big and gem-like.

The Bad: The chopsticks are splintery.

The Ugly: Don't even think about going on a Friday or a Saturday night or the night before a holiday. Two-hour waits, exacerbated by the awful wait staff. At best, the service is inattentive (maybe due to the crowds?).    [30 Nov 2003 05:58:55]

Yummmmmy
If you like sushi but hate the high cost and small servings, this place should satisfy you. The prices are the BEST I have seen especially for the portion you get. The quality is always excellent with a wide range to choose from. It's always quite busy so it may be hard to get a table, especially at dinnertime.    [06 Jan 2004 18:45:22]

I thought I was in heaven
My dad is a Sushi lover. So, we decided to take him to Sushi House for his birthday. There were total of five people and we decided to try their $100 Sushi Boat which serves four to five people. We ordered half sushi and half sashimi. We were presented with two huge boats filled with fresh sushi and sashimi. I noticed they use bigger prawns for their Ama Ebi (sweet raw shrimp) compared to other sushi bars. For dessert, we had green tea ice cream and it was very satisfying. Their raw oysters with their "one and only" sauce was OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! They should call this place, "Sushi Heaven" instead of Sushi House.
Warning: this place is very popular at dinner time and try to get there before 6PM for dinner to avoid waiting in long line.    [04 Mar 2004 23:58:16]

Service so TERRIBLE that it's not worth going for the food
There is absolutely no point in going to a restaurant that treats the customer with no respect. The staff at this restaurant is unresponsive and completely unorganized...they make so many mistakes and make you feel so unhappy that you will never want to step foot into the place again. Yes, the food is good, but why make yourself suffer to such an extent, both mentally and physically, just for food? It's just not worth it; you will be punished by the HORRIBLE service much more than you will ever be rewarded by the food.    [29 Jan 2005 22:10:18]

Loooooong wait even in its new, larger location
Food's good here but the wait was an hour on Sunday night. Service is terrible, the staff is very short w/ customers. The (very young) girl seating ppl snapped at several parties. Everyone here seems miserable, from the wait-staff to the sushi chefs behind the counter to the customers waiting to be seated. The whole atmosphere is somewhat depressing. Even the ppl waiting in the to-go area looked miserable.    [14 Mar 2005 15:31:57]
