Great selection of sushi and they did some nice remodeling on the inside. I was really happy to see that they had many choices for cooked sushi because I am pregnant. My husband was also pleased with the raw sushi selection. They are generous with the amount of fish in the rolls. The prices are reasonable compared to other sushi places in the area.

Been here twice for maki rolls with b/f, and we’re happy with the quality and presentation. Both times the place was nearly empty and we had to wait for ask for refills/check, but food was made in a reasonable time and it’s one of the better sushi places close to home.

Feels like Japan(I’ve never been to Japan). There’s private dining areas(very Korean). But there’s a sushi chef that you can check out and they have a fusion of Korean/Japanese cuisine. Not sure what the 21 is all about in the name, but the Sushi 21 roll is pretty legit. Very nice place for a daddy-daughter date.

My family loves coming here for sishi &maki. More often I am getting take out once a week. When my wife has a craving for Kapa maki I call up and by the time I get there 6 minutes later food is usually ready. They have a great selection of traditional sushi. I travel a lot for work and this little hole in the wall joint is at the top. I am glad it is close by to me. The couple who own/runs Susi 21 is very nice and whatever we order is delicious!

hmm, could’ve been worse. the server seemed rushed although it was very slow. she didn’t really make a connection or take the time to conversate… cool if you don’t mind that kind of thing but the experience didn’t feel very inviting. i ordered the chiarashi, which was presented beautifully. there was a great amount of raw sliced fish on top so they didn’t skimp out on that. i also got unagi which tasted good and soft, salmon + tuna sashimi. the slices for each one was very generous so i was impressed with that. i went with the ‘sushi 21′ roll as well. not a favorite. tasted like a mushed up avocado roll pretty much, no sign or taste of scallops anywhere. final verdict: dunno what i expected but i am kind of disappointed with this place and probably won’t be back.

Nice mom and pop place. I went here on a weekday night. There was only two other groups besides us. Service is great and quick. Pricing was reasonable for decent sushi, they didn’t plate the sushi fancy but no complaints because the taste was good!

I really love the sushi salad with a side of ginger dressing. My once a month staple!

Meh I wasn’t very surprised by this place, they had good sushi but I wasn’t wowed like I was by Ra Sushi and they had happy hour so I’d much rather go there than to sushi 21.

Really yummy sushi, made quickly. The waitstaff are always very nice and attentive, and the prices are very fair. I eat here a lot because it’s nice and quiet and very easy to get to.

Came here for an early dinner, for the food that we got the price is a little expensive(factoring in quality of the food).we ordered an unagi roll and Dragon roll, it was good sushi, but I could get better somewhere else. Then I got the beef don, and she got the sukiyaki. They both were a little overly sweet, and I like sweet, we switched cuz the sukiyaki was way too sweet for my fiancé. I couldn’t finish it nor did I want to bring it home. And the service was subpar. There was literally one other table in there, of 4 people, but our waitress came by only like 3 times total with some good time in between those visits, so I can only imagine what’s it like when it’s busy.

Went here last night for dinner with 3 other people. We decided to get the sashimi course meal. First the miso soup came out with the salad. Then agedashi tofu(a cube of deep fried soft tofu in soy sauce). Tempura fried shrimp and veggies. Edamame. Sashimi platter(with fresh salmon, tuna, flounder, etc). Spicy tuna hand rolls. Raw oysters on the half shell with chogochujang(gochujang with vinegar and sugar). Baked mussels with spicy mayo. Maki(spicy tuna maki, dragon roll, and some weird fried sweet potato one that was still raw). Perfectly fried whole fish with spicy sauce(my favorite of the night!). This rice porridge thing, kinda(which is the bottom of the rice pot if you leave it cooking a little longer, it gets hard, almost like a cracker and was cooked with water) with shrimp sauce. Maewoontang(spicy fish stew made from the bones of the flounder from the sashimi platter). And ended with a scoop of ice cream. Over all, the food was good. I just didn’t like that they put a weird tempura fried sweet potato in one of the maki. It was basically raw and I was not expecting sweet potato. Also, the menu said one of the courses was soft shell crab, but that never came out so we asked about it and the server said they don’t have it. When we asked what it was replaced with, he had no idea. I think they should have clarified that when we ordered it because we were looking forward to that. Btw, you get free refills on miso soup after the first course. There are tanks in the middle of the restaurant. With each order, the chef takes the fish out of the tanks to prepare them. Most likely for part of the sashimi platter and the whole fried fish. We couldn’t even finish the maewoontang at the end of the meal. I tried it and it was really watery and bland and we were really full anyway. This is a nice place to go with an group of people and just hang out and eat for a few hours. Maybe have a couple bottles of soju or sake too.

Worst tonkatsu ever. Was I in a Japanese restaurant or a Mexican restaurant? The tempura batter was not light and fluffy. The sushi was ok but too expensive.

Solid Korean owned Japanese sushi place. Good Korean style Japanese food. Sashimi didn’t quite cut the mark, but manageable. Order the Korean dishes, really. Udon is also very excellent — in its illegitimate Korean form. They give you Korean style dessert and ice cream at the end of your meal and edemame as appetizer, though YMMV depending on whether you are Korean… Atmosphere can use some work, but does not take away from the sushi quality.

A little expensive for veggie sushi. I’ve had better in the surroundings area. Came here because it was on the way home. Probably won’t return, but good knowing there is something within the area.

On a whim, we popped in to Sushi 21 after donating a bunch of stuff to the resale shop in the same strip mall. (Dude, if you like beige wood, this is the décor for you! I’ve heard of spartan tastes, but do the booths, chairs, walls and floor ALL need to be the same color?) After much musing, we decided to go with the sushi platter(I forget the name) that had 35 pieces of sushi and came with 2 bowls of miso soup. Price was a bit high, but knowing us, we figured we’d rack up a pretty big bill anyway. So, the sushi came and the pieces of fish on top were generous. Quality was good. Pretty fresh. We also tried some abalone sushi and it was good. But the bf noticed we’d not gotten our soup. I asked the gal assisting our waiter where it was and she told us flat out that no soup came with our meal. I suggested they update their menu. She then walked away.(Losing the restaurant a star on this review.) A few minutes later the waiter brought our soup. No apology, he just set it on the table and left. So we paid up and walked out. So why a 2 star review? Apathetic service, boring décor and the experience left me feeling«Meh».
