There doesnt seem to be a designated server.Thats totally ok, though.I love the fact that I can call any server over, and they attend us quickly.

This place was literally amazing not too long ago. The sushi rolls were fresh and a lot bigger. Now it’s as if they are serving you gas station sushi. It was very bland and the soy sauce wasn’t helping and the avocado was brown. I got some from Raleys next door and it’s fresher and bigger for the same price or less. It’s very sad because I understand that inflation is causing a lot of food industries to struggle but I’d rather keep the same quality and pay a little more.

This was my very first time going to Sushi Cuisine to try out some good sushi to eat. I went with my friend after hanging out at Em-Tea playing cards and drinking boba. My friend was kind enough to offer me her Miso soup even though shes not a fan of Miso soup. The food was great and the service here is amazing! The employees here are friendly and welcoming and I gave them a good tip of $4.95 just because of the good vibes and all😊 Would definitely come back again whenever I could!

Somehow their sushi became worse than Raley’s sushi and their service quality seems not good either.We ordered two rolls. Their first dragon roll was squeezed and looked like they used the mold. They did not served the second roll until we finish the first roll and a ramen. We asked to cancel the other roll if it was not ready yet. It came 5 second later—I guess they forgot to serve?Anyway not a good experience.

Sushi is amazing! Other stuff like ramen and dumplings were not my preference.Service was 1st class.

This was my first time here. I will say it is my new favorite spot in the area for sushi. Very nice assortment of fresh sashimi. Beautiful and delicious rolls. They had a large variety that I have not seen in other locations. Absolutely wonderful experience. I will definitely be back, and would recommend.

Went for dinner with hubby and daughter since was craving for ramen and sushi. Ordered little too much but all the food was good and sushi was fresh and yummy. Pricewise not so bad for quality and taste, it’s worth it. Staff was nice and friendly

Overall a good experience. The food took a bit to order, but came out very quickly. Our orders came with soup, salad, and a bowl of steamed rice. Salad and soup are great, but the rice was quite bland. We ordered the Sushi Combo and Family Boat. The rolls were pretty good overall. The Escolar, which Ive never seen before on a regular menu, was delicious, of the better cuts. Salmon was nice and buttery. Unfortunately tuna was bland and tasteless, like it clearly was frozen and defrosted multiple times. There is still good value, but the sashimi definitely couldve been better quality.

The food was amazing! The service was exceptional . I highly recommend this place, the prices were great and you get a lot of food. We will definitely be coming back.

The prices have gone up! The food is decent, but not really what Ive had at other restaurants outside of Merced. This time I got the lion king roll and the dinner plate combo: shrimp tempura + chicken katsu with rice, miso soup, and side salad. The rolls arent that big, but I still think its pretty tasty and the plate came with more tempura than I expected! Overall, it satisfied my cravings.

Arrived on Friday night and the place was busy with a line out of the door. We decided to wait for a seat and it was absolutely worth it. The food was so good and the prices were reasonable. Will definitely be returning here.

Obligatory, first time going here.Before eating - I came here with a friend. When we got in, it was somewhat busy(50% full capacity?) but we still got seated quickly. Looking at the menu, there was plenty of photos so that was visually appealing and helped me decide what I wanted. Once we ordered, the food didnt take long to come out.Taste - Honestly speaking, I feel like Merced is a smaller town so the quality wouldnt be good but it turned out better than I thought! I liked the miso soup, the salad with sauce was drenched like a typical restaurant so that was basic. The fish tastes fresh and somewhat firm. The caterpillar roll was delicious. I even had a sushi boat and that was good overall as well. The waitress was attentive and made sure to stop by here and there to see how we were doing.After eating - I didnt feel bloated or any discomfort from the food. I was happy with my meal and check came very quickly. The restaurant staffs actually work together so things were moving by a lot quicker.4/5Overall, as limited as it is here with sushi, I actually enjoyed this place and wouldnt mind coming back.

Honestly every time I come here I never leave disappointed. The swamp roll will always be my go to roll. I get it nearly every time and its always amazing. The sarata with salmon is great. The sauce it has is spicy and savory. This is my go to sushi place in merced.

We like it here. The only thing we dont like is the beef sukiyaki. But their rolls are really good!! The staff is friendly. Its clean inside.

Review №22

2022-05-15 05:17:56

Even when short staffed, they are organized, polite and welcoming as every time Ive visited. The food is as good if not better than most restaurants in Santa Cruz for their sushi combination platters in taste, appearance and portions. Worth booking a reservation or quick stop for a ramen bowl.

We really enjoyed our 2 lunch bento boxes! Both the chicken and beef teriyaki were full of flavor and grilled to perfection. The teriyaki sauce was delicious - I even ate the bed of cabbage that the teriyaki meats were served on! The sashimi, California roll, tempura and salad were all fantastic. Service was quick and friendly. We will definitely be returning often!

I had sashimi over rice and 2 out of the 5 different fish were dry. One was tough.With 2 other dishes, the pork and chicken taste like they were sitting in blood too long before cooking, giving it a musky flavor/smell.

I love Sushi Cuisine. They are best known for their sushi and bento dishes. The food there is delicious and satisfying. Their customer service is great and never had an issue with anyone yet. The atmosphere is suitable and calm, but some how busy.The reason for the three star experience comes from their ramen dishes. Im going to be blunt, the ingredients do not taste, feel, or smell fresh. I have been to many ramen shops and have eaten plenty of ramen to know that Sushi Cuisines ramen dishes are not fresh. They are a poor low quality imitation of a ramen dish. What I do not like is that Sushi Cuisine is pricing their ramen at a premium price. That is not ok. I highly recommend people to not order their ramen.This also begs the question, are the rest of their ingredients fresh as well or are they low quality? Lets be honest, Sushi Cuisines prices are not cheap. If they are charging premium price for their items while their ingredients are of low quality then they are practically scamming everyone that buys from there restaurant.

Tried the Titanic roll and the Cherry blossom roll. They were really good. Will be back.

2022-06-01 00:27:31

Used to be one of my favorite spots but a couple of times, I would get my sushi rolls very late. The last time I ask for an order of sushi rolls they gave the order out to another newly arrived guest. This is when I found out it was not first come first served.

The worst Sushi I’ve ever had. And on top of that there chicken tasted old and gross. My friend and I both threw up. That’s the last time I let him pick a restaurant.

First time here it was delicious!! Will be back!!

Review №36

2022-08-07 20:40:55

This place is genuinely bad. The unagi was tough, the sushi was dry, and the ramen was basically top ramen dolled up with no flavor. Which is terrible since I asked for an extra spicy ramen, and all they did was throw some chili flakes in it. Honestly, its the worse sushi/ramen place Ive ever been to.

Review №37

2019-12-30 03:35:02

I like how comfortable and intimate the atmosphere is. Prices are competitive with other sushi places. Great display of food when served. Only downside was the food wasnt too flavorful unless you added sauce and the servers werent too tentative. Overall a decent experience and would come to try their sushi again.

Definitely the most legit Japanese place in town, good food, and has menu items that you probably wont find anywhere else in Merced. Friendly staff as well as a nice atmosphere, a tad pricy but thats because its a quality joint.

Both Turlock and Merceds locations atmosphere is nice, but the food isn’t the best it can be. Workers lack common sense. You don’t put a cold raw roll in the same box as a baked roll. It ruins the other roll. I was charged $30 for two rolls that didn’t even taste remotely good.

They were packed, but its small indoors. Super friendly staff. I was able to place a to-go order easily. The wait wasnt too long,, considering the phone was constantly ringing. The food was good and there was a ton of it.

It saddens me to write this review, in fact, it is the first time I have ever took the time to post my feelings regarding my satisfaction on any goods or services I have purchased. If you are reading this and live anywhere close to Merced, California, you all know we are very limited in our dining choices, so when we find something we like, we are loyal to it. My issue isnt about food or service quality as both have been excellent since I found Sushi Cuisine almost 2 years ago. My issue is the honesty and integrity of ownership and management. On 7/6/2019, after another great meal, I received my check. I found that I was charged $12.99 for an item priced on the menu at $10.00. When I brought this to the waitresses attention, she checked with management, and said that she was sorry, but the price was $12.99 and the owner didnt update the price on the menu. She turned and walked away. I called her back asking that she adjust my already consumed purchase to the posted menu price. She said she was sorry, but she could not do anything. I signed my credit card for the purchase and included NO tip. I walked up to the counter to again ask that my purchase price be adjusted. I had 5 employees at the counter staring at me. I was again given a very polite apology and told that they could not do anything about it. I was told that the owner would be back in on Monday if I wanted to discuss. With my mouth wide open, I handed my waitress her tip in cash (not her fault) and left. Im sad to say that I will never return. My $40.00 - $60.00 purchases every 5-6 weeks wont financially ruin them, nor do I want it to. But I would have to kick my own a$$ if I ever purchased from them again. Its not the $3.00, I can afford that. Its hard to believe that in this day and age, a business would not honor its posted price, especially when a customer makes a buying decision based on a posted price and then consumes it. I cannot return it for a refund (actually, I would be more than happy to return it to them, they just need to give me 12-15 hours) Thank you Sushi cuisine for making me take one step further away in my trust in humanity.

Wow what a little gem was very hungry driving back from Airport Saw this small place in a strip mall. Place was clean and inviting They had some great lunch specials and regular meals. Server was prompt and very polite. Order was quickly taken. Had a lunch special. I shared with my son and we had a extra roll. Turned out to be lots of food. But it was fresh and tasty. Will definitely be back to try other dishes.

The spicy Poke is very good...meets my standards of heat. Other tasty dishes to choose from. The flow of customers is consistent;Customers come in for take out and eat in. Food arrives rather quickly. Customer service is friendly they check on you frequently, which is a good thing. Well, they did with me anyways. Its not to expensive either. Booths and tables to eat at plus a counter upfront where have the food coming throug. Its a quaint little space. Highly recommend to eat here.

I love the sushi here, especially their Titanic Roll and bento boxes! The staff is always very friendly and prompt with their service. They tend to get very busy sometimes, but it goes to show just how delicious and popular their food is. Recommend 🤍

I have mixed emotions with this restaurant. Its really hot or miss but for the most part its good. Last visit really sucked but I do like the food.

Review №53

2018-08-30 10:52:59

The food here is well prepared and service is acomidating for both small groups and large groups. However during the lunch rush it can get very packed in there very quickly, which slows everything down quite considerably. If youre looking for a quick lunch break from work, this might not be for you. But a perfect location for an outing with friends

Fast! Great friendly environment and service. Drink is never empty. Just know that you may have a bit of a wait if you show up with a crowd. Most of all phenomenal food. Very diverse menu. I probably go there once a week.

Stopped by after an event at Merced High School. It is very convenient and easy to get to from the campus. The fish was fresh and tasted great. The rolls were a little loose and could have been tighter, they fell apart just a little to easy.

Review №56

2019-10-17 03:24:34

A very nice sit down restaurant to take family or friends or both! The staff is always kind and accommodating, and the food is always excellent. Prices arent too high, but its fair if you would like an alternative to fast food but dont want anything too expensive!

Review №57

2018-01-29 05:55:51

Been here couple of times and tried both the rolls and dinner combos but was not satisfied. There were not many choices for rolls, but the ingredients in the rolls are too similar, so it was hard to choose. The taste was only OK, and the raw fish was not the freshest (but I guess its limited by our distance to the supply?).

Review №58

Delicious sushi and lots of options. The staff was great and they were accommodating when we had a special request for a substitution. We will definitely be back.

My family and I enjoy the food here. The sashimi taste fresh. The sushi rolls are delicious. The soups are hot and comforting but be aware, it may arrive in a huge bowl. Our favorite appetizer is calamari. The variety of bento box meals are just as good.The interior of the restaurant is clean. The staff is courteous and friendly.We usually arrive when they first open to avoid the wait for seating.

2018-03-06 03:18:33

The food was amazing, delicious and fresh!! The service from what seemed to be the owner was great as well but the waitress was rude and didnt seem to care about us. Even when she brought the bill she just dropped it on the table and walked away, because of this and price Im not sure Ill be returning anytime soon.

Review №61

2020-01-25 22:53:11

Came here for lunch. Very disappointed in the “food.” Stop giving this place a 5 star people. It is not a five star for what they charge. The rice was on the soggier side. Miso soup was almost cold. The restaurant environment is more fast pace and chatty, I don’t mind that at all. However, This place has no passion in making good sushi at all.

Review №62

2022-01-19 06:09:10

Definitely one of the best sushi places around. Only complaint is that on several occasions I have asked for spicy mayo with my takeout order and not recieved it.

Review №63

2022-01-26 07:23:32

I had really high hopes for this place based off of other reviews- but I was extremely disappointed. I got the nigiri and it was awful, specifically the sushi rice was really bad. I’ve been to a lot of sushi places and they all add flavor to their rice and this place doesn’t. It’s super bland.

Review №64

2019-02-24 01:51:46

Great sushi, maybe even the best in Merced! Little place but quite busy for late Saturday lunch (which could only mean one thing, must be good!). The atmosphere and hospitality was awesome. Im a Samsung Pay user they were gracious to let me educate them and do it but it was awkward because their card reader is almost in the kitchen but they obliged.

2020-02-25 20:46:57

Hello, this is what I would consider when looking.Should you try it? I say YES!Get off the freeway worthy? YES again!Good service and good food. We had salmon and Avo hand rolls (very fresh and tasty) a specialty roll that was great, and Teriyaki chicken for the kids (the best TC ive had anywhere, & consistent over multiple visits). Price is good too!If you are in the area looking, or traveling past the town, it is worth the drive off of the Interstate. I hope this helps you!

Review №66

2018-09-14 06:35:28

Great food, big selection, clean and good, fast service! Would have been 4 stars but their selection of drinks was too limited. Every place should carry a good mineral or sparkling water. We dont all drink caffeine or sugar.

Review №67

2018-02-15 07:06:48

Ive been here a few times, its nice great taste .price is fair . Maybe today was just valentines day. But I wish they would cut their fish more professional it was way too thick and big like its going on a grill.

Update 8/25/19: I have changed my 4 star rating to 2. If I could give a 2 1/2, I would. Since my last review, I have continued to see customer service worsen. My family and friends regularly come to sushi cuisine and we love the food there. However, we have all noticed the service here isnt what it used to be when we first ate here. Not only have the workers (especially one male worker) messed up our orders, so has the owner of sushi cuisine. I ordered a to go and we were missing a few things from what we asked. We also noticed we were charged a lot more than usual. I know they have raised prices but not this much. We order the same thing everytime and come here 2-4 times a month. We have noticed the prices raise slightly but not this significant. Again it was the same male server who messes up our order who took my phone order. I dont know what is going on but I will definitely be asking for a different server, double checking the receipt/prices and not going here as frequently as before. Hopefully they will get better management and workers.__________________________________________________________Ive been going here for 5 years. It has been my go to place for sushi. However, in the past year, service here has gone down hill. Im not sure if its due to the somewhat new servers or management. There are two servers I dont particularly care for because they have continuously messed up my order or gave another customer my order. There also seems to be miscommunication between the server at times. Although service has been lacking lately, I love their food and a server I gotten to know over the years of going there. I absolutely love their sauces like the spicy mayo and salad dressing. If you ever order the gyoza I suggest ordering deep fried. My personal favorite is the titanic roll. I also, love their ramen soup.

2017-09-13 20:25:56

The staff here is always friendly and courteous. The food tastes fresh and authentic; I especially love the larger than normal portions of nigir served here and their seafood ramen is amazing! With that order you get scallops, mussles, shrimp, and salmon steaks cooked to perfection. Go, you wont be disappointed!

Really like this place. Have only had it to go, but they get the order right even placed on the phone. and I’ve never had to wait. Clean masked friendly people.

Review №73

2020-11-06 20:20:46

Overall quality is good, and take-out service was quick courteous. The sushi rolls are pretty good, and the Nigiri is well-prepared but completely perfunctory. By that I mean its just sliced fish on rice, with no interesting or extra flavors or flair (not even wasabi under the fish).Happy to find a competent sushi spot in Merced, though. Its nothing to write home about, but definitely good to have nearby.

2018-06-24 04:17:34

I really like coming here for lunch . The lunch specials are great the portions are a perfect size and I always order the curry chicken. The restaurant can get quite busy during the lunch hour but you can always order and get your meal to go . I also recommend that you order and pick up dinner on your way home after work.

Went to Sushi Ciu this past Sunday evening. The restaurant was packed but we were seated quickly.As is normal in a crowded popular during a rush, we did wait awhile for all aspects of serviceBut the atmosphere was warm and cozy,, as we sipped our green tea, beer and talked.We ordered a selection of sashima, sushi, and sushi rolls.Normally I am not a fan of eel. Theirs was delicious. Tender,sweet.The portions of hamachi and salmon sashiMI were large and tasty. I liked them. My companion said he liked his tuna a bit more on the white creamy style. While large portions generally are well received, I was thinking it would have been better with a little less.We had a split opinion on the dragon roll. I liked it, my friend, not so much.The small staff was jumping and doing their best, but service was a bit uneven. They could have used one more person.Decor and ambiance is lacking, did not color our opinion. The place was warm and cozy on a cold winters night, that was good enough.We will go back and try some more options.

The service was great. Took a while for our food but notified us ahead of time. Even though it was almost closing time, they didnt rush and let us take our time. Will definitely stop by again when we revisit town.

One of my husbands and my favorite date locations. Sometimes we let the kids come with too... LOL.Really however, their food is always predictably yummy. I almost always get the teriyaki salmon and my husband almost always gets the teriyaki beef. We know what we like and we pretty much get what we like - we usually include some California rolls, wimps I know, tempura, soup, and every so oft, some tea, although Im more of a coffee drinker.The smaller location is cozy, sometimes a little loud, but much more convenient for us, and the servers are almost always great. The bathroom is probably my only complaint, sometimes its not working, or so crowded in there that with only one bathroom, makes it a little difficult. Otherwise, however, I totally recommend it!

Food was good. They were out of ramen noodles so that sucked. Thats what my son wanted he was a little upset. Overall we enjoyed it there

The Sarada appetizer with tuna is awesome!! I add a side of rice and call it lunch. The food is 5 stars! I only give it a 4 because the restaurant is in a strip mall, so may not be for you if you are looking for nice ambiance. If that doesnt matter to you- go there!

Came here with my daughter, my friend n her niece, we waited more than an hour fir our food n evev before getting our food the waitress brought us the bill, its a lousy place everyone who got here after us was getting their food before us. I dont usually leave reviews nor good or bad but this went over my expectation, food didnt have flavor n the chowmain with chicken teriyaki was burn.

Everything was great. We had the bbq ika, chicken teriyaki and shrimp tempura combo, titanic roll, sunset roll and the cherry blossom roll. All were great. Had a bottle of to plum wine to share it was sweet and well priced. Wrapped things up a red bean ice cream which was also rich and delicious. 10/10 reccomend everything we had. Nothing disappointed.

This is a 5 out of 5 restaurant it has fast service has a lot of workers and gets your order out really fast. I was waiting only about 5-10 minutes for my food. The service was amazing I am definitely coming here every time for sushi.

Most disgusting sushi Ive ever tasted. A complete waste of $45. Never again. I only went because they had good reviews and I usually get sushi twice a week but in Modesto only

So if yall have low standards for sushi and Japanese food, its okay for Merced. I personally stopped going here to get Raleys lmao: theres nothing wrong w/it but Raleys tastes a lot fresher.Their tonkatsu is extremely dry for me when I got it (2-3 times?), and when I went with my mom to get some teriyaki chicken with her, she said she preferred her frozen Trader Joes...take that as you will lmao, I would really only suggest getting sushi thereI havent tried it, and idk if Nagame is still in business at the moment but if youre looking for actual Japanese food, its probably there or in any other city (Turlock, Atwater, Fresno...yeah...)

Had Cherry Blossom roll, the tuna was warmer than my usual tuna I get from out of town sushi spots. The rice in the roll was almost hard. Disappointed with the way they prepare, and notice what new and old rice feels like.

Valentines Day started off so beautiful! After a long work day I was really looking forward to some sushi. My fiancé chose this place because of the high ratings. Got seated within 30 minutes when arrived at 7:30ish. The server was very nice and took our order as soon as we sat down. We ordered SUSHI DINNER COMBO. First got served 1 bowl of wilted brown sad looking salad and 1 cold miso soup. These bowls were tiny and they were on the house but I guess my fiancé and I were suppose to share it lol.Took 1 hour for our order to come out.So I tried the tuna rolls first. I picked up my sushi and dipped it in my soy sauce it completely fell apart(that should of been the hint from God to tell me not to eat it). Tuna was completely SOUR/BAD. The rice was HARD! I told the server about our experience. Her response,sorry it was a busy day for us. THAT IS NO EXCUSE!!! Didnt dare to touch anything else served. Left the money on the table,left, and will never come back. Now I am missing work due to food poisoning because I have been throwing up all night and have diarrhea this morning with a fever kicking in. If I could give -0 stars I would. GO TO KINGS ASIAN CUSINE THEIR SUSH IS SUPHERB!!!

First time here, I called ahead and asked about their sashimi. The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful with my sashimi choice and I placed a to go order by phone. The order was ready at the stated time. Fresh sashimi and friendly fast service. I will be coming here again for sashimi when Im in Merced, CA.

Review №98

2017-10-05 07:59:54

Freshly made sushi, ingredients (mainly rice) seems to be properly and well prepared before use, and the service is alright. Can be somewhat expensive, but hey, the sushis good (would recommend the Lambada Roll). Chicken Katsu is alright, if you get it with soup, put that in soup. If you get it with rice, it should come with a sauce and you should eat it together because its naturally a bit oily (thats how it should be). I feel like the noodles are the instant top-ramen noodles... but the soups that it comes with seems to be freshly made. Their hours can be tricky to work with, theyre closed from 2pm to 5pm because most people wont go for food during those times, so they close during that time frame.

Review №99

2018-05-12 02:54:17

Not great. Maybe because they have so little competition but the food is so mediocre and always has been. The ramen is instant ramen. The tempera veggies are all carrot. The sushi is okay, but not amazing. Service is mediocre as well.

My family has been to this restaurant a number of times but last night the food made all of us sick. we had a bunch of nigiri and different rolls (as well as other stuff). not sure what it was but the maguro was pretty rancid tasting. couldnt eat it all or the spicy tuna rolls. when i mentioned it to waitress she just took the tuna rolls away and never returned.

I give it two starts because the Sushi is actually really good, but the service is horrible. We sat 30 mins with no service. Finally got our food and we waited an additional 30mins for the tag. I have never been ignored like that before. Service was terrible.

With pocket 8s closing this leaves like 2 places in Merced to get sushi! Sushi cuisine is always our go to spot! We always gotta get that Atlantic maki with a side of spicy mayo and the Sarada appetizer is always a good start

DONT order ramen here!!!My husband, daughter, and I went to have dinner here tonight for our anniversary. Knowing their sushi arent too bad, we ordered ramen bowls. Spicy one for my husband, regular one for my daughter, and seafood one for me. We were so excited to finally see some real ramen in Merced.The bowls came. We looked in there and saw the wiggly noodles that you can find inside of packets of instant ramen. What kind of restaurant serve instant ramen? We can make them at home. We were so disappointed, but we were too hungry to just leave and eat somewhere else. It tasted just like instant ramen with some toppings. Nothing special.Ended up paying close to $30 for crappy instant ramen. I know they serve fine sushi, but I felt so ripped off that I dont think were going back again.

I ordered chirashi to fix a craving of sashimi. Not much choice in Merced for Japanese cuisine but it was passed for basic freshness. My kids ordered ramen - not recommended as noodles were from instant package and toppings were only bean sprouts.
