Sushirrito

I love Sushirrito. I’m usually stuffed after eating one, so I can’t complain about the price or the size. Love this location so much more than the others in SF.
Geisha’s kiss: Ask for extra lotus chips. The extra crunch compliments it well! ⁵⁄₅
Salmon samba: No wasabi dust. This is definitely kid friendly! The salmon is cooked perfectly well too. ⁴⁄₅
Porkivore: I really liked this, especially cus I love pork belly. I still don’t believe that meat should be in sushi though haha. It got pretty oily at the bottom. ⁴⁄₅
Sumo crunch: basic. PASS
Ask for hot sauce!!!
Kid friendly menu.
Not much seating available.
They take card.
TIP: when on University Ave., turn on Kipling, there will be a free parking lot to your left. :)

For my second visit to this place, I had a Satori sushi burrito. Honestly, the flavors were all too mixed together and nothing stood out. The yellowtail was rather flavorless, the cucumber was not crisp, the corn felt too sweet and out of place. The only thing that I could really detect was the ginger.
Maybe the fish-​based sushi burritos are not the thing to get here. If I come back, I’ll try one of the other ones.

We love sushi and we love wraps so sushiritto provides the perfect formula for us to eat what we love in a wrap.
My fav is not the really popular salmon samba but the satori which is a right mix of texture that I like yellowtail+ red onion+ corn. I have tried the salmon samba too and it is clear why it’s the popular choice.
Food here is sushi burritos made right in front of u on an assembly line, you pick it up and find a seat if you are lucky! (We never sit down to eat here as we live close by and usually take it home to eat but it could be a concern as seating is limited)
Wait is an avg twenty minutes but it’s interesting to people watch while in the line and I think it’s not something that bothers me.
The prices are reasonable for the location and the deliciousness and consistency in the quality of the rolls make me ignore concerns normally expressed!

3 stars. Would need to try again to recommend or not recommend. Good concept, but from the 1 sushirito that I had, it was not executed as the potential it has.
Line was decent, in a small area, looks could be deceiving. Only a short 10 minute wait. Place is clean, very modern which fits in perfectly with the area.
I had the Sumo Crunch for lunch when my wife and I were in the area feeling super hungry. This is a sushirito with shrimp tempura, surimi crab, cabbage, and ginger guac. Very interesting ingredients, beautifully assembled and presented. Very crisp cabbage, good fusion of guac and good preparation of tempura shrimp. But, with all the beautiful ingredients, they fell flat. They all were good in their own right, but lacking an overall essence. My wife and I had the same dish, both were the same flat sushirito. We both agreed, it was missing something. Maybe a sauce, maybe a little pickled daikon. But, for sure something was missing. I will have to try their other items to be sure, but from what I can tell, they had a good concept just missing an essence.

WHY IS THE LINE SO LONG? :(
I am soooo glad there is a Sushirrito in Palo Alto so I don’t have to go to SF whenever I have craving. However, there are always two obstacles when I try to satisfy my cravings. 1. The parking in downtown Palo Alto is impossible. 2. The line for Sushirrito is always really long (30 minutes or more).
My new favorite is the Sumo Crunch! I actually think it’s better than Geisha’s Kiss! Try it next time!
Tip: I am so thankful that Postmates delivers from here so I don’t have to stand in line.

The hype is definitely not real with this one. If you could label any idea of ‘fusion sushi’ as boring as a monotonous sandwich with zero condiments, it would be Sushirrito. Got the Geisha’s Kiss, Satori and lava nachos to go and it came out to be about $ 35 total.
Both burritos were bland and tasteless — the fish was definitely fresh but all the ingredients mixed with the fish (like the ponzu chips?) just didn’t taste right altogether. There wasn’t any kind of sauce in the burritos so every bite just felt like the ingredients all played their part individually. There wasn’t any distinct overall flavor that left us wanting more, if that makes sense.
While a ‘sushi burrito’ sounds like a great idea, I don’t feel like this place properly executes it. It would’ve been cool if they had a DIY-​style option available as I definitely wouldn’t have picked some of the ingredients that went in the Geisha’s Kiss. We were also excited about the lava nachos & I hoped that would redeem our whole experience but we were actually quite disappointed with the nachos as well — fish to chips ratio was lacking and my bf wasn’t impressed with the kind of chips and cheese used :/​
In the end, I don’t intend on returning and I was a bit let down since this place was on my bookmarks for quite a while. It’s not amazing for how overpriced it is.

Not clear on the hype… This is a fad that needs to end. I like the concept of burrito-​fying a food, but not the end result. Sushirrito doesn’t taste good, the menu is too limited, and it’s overpriced.
I’ll take a regular burrito next time.

Sushi + Burrito = Genius!
There was a long line when I went but service was good and they moved pretty fast so we didn’t have to wait long.
I tried the Salmon Samba and it tasted super fresh and delicious! There could have been a little more flavor but overall I enjoyed it and the size was perfect — Not too big to make me food coma but not too small to leave me hungry. We also get to see them make it in front of us in a chipotle-​esque assembly line which is always fun.

I’m sorry to majority of Norcal folk out there, but I just don’t get the hype… at all! I tried the Sushirrito in SF a long time ago and remembered it to be «meh», so I wanted to see if my second try would make me a believer. It didn’t.
FOOD:
Basically, they’re just very wide, uncut sushi rolls… The idea of it is interesting, but the execution is lacking. There are multiple cooked meat/​non-​fish rolls as well, but I wanted some fresh fish.
+ Geisha’s Kiss ($ 12): if you DO decide to try a roll/​ritto, get this one. It’s filled with yellowfin tuna, tamago, lotus chips, cucumber, lettuce, avocado, and yuzu tobiko. The flavor of the tuna seasoned in sesame oil and the yuzu tobiko really came through — it was light, lemony, and smelled fresh. The lotus chips gave it a nice crunch to contrast the tuna and veggies. Really enjoyed the flavor of this one.
— Satori ($ 13): Kampachi yellowtail, cucumber, red onion, corn, avocado, red tobiko (fish roe), wasabi mayo. It tasted as boring as it sounded. Being the most expensive roll on the menu, I expected this to taste a lot better. The fish is naturally less flavorful than the tuna and slightly mushier in texture. The colors of the yellow corn, red tobiko, and green veggies made for a pretty visual, but none of the flavors stood out except the wasabi mayo. After two bites, all I could taste anymore was the wasabi! :(
Lastly, I’m surprised the seaweed stayed crunchy on the outside for both of these. Since there was a lot of sauce in the rolls, I expected it to be soggy but it wasn’t!
SERVICE:
We came during the lunch-​time rush, so the guy who took our order at the counter moved quickly. I saw our rittos going through the assembly line and wasn’t too happy about how they were being rolled. The girl who rolled the rittos wasn’t pushing down hard enough, so a lot of pieces of fish fell out the sides. She tried to shove them back in the rolls but ended up just putting the pieces next to the roll to be wrapped up… Wasn’t too pleased with that.
OVERALL:
I would probably just stick with Geisha’s Kiss if I ever go back.

First time I was here, they had ran out of fish so I couldn’t try their signature rolls :(Can’t remember what I got, so I guess that goes to show. Lotus chips were on point though, so points for that!
Came back last weekend and got the Satori and was not blown away by it, but it was decently filling. The fish itself was pretty bland and there wasn’t enough around the fish to lend it flavor. I think Geisha’s Kiss might have been more my style.
Husband got the Porkivore roll and LOVED it. Got a bite of my cousin’s beef one, the beef was in a chunk and super tender.
Space was crowded, and families definitely lingered trying to help their kids finish their food. Just overall not very conducive to eating at the location. Takes card. Was enamoured the first time, and disappointed by the second.

VERY neat concept. Sorry if this is another review. Burrito, SO easy to eat. Who does enjoy sushi? Put it together and it’s PERFECT. Easy on the go. They slice it in half for you, which makes it even easier to eat. I’ve tried a few items at this place. All of which has it’s own goodness to. BEWARE: long line if you come at PEAK TIME of lunch. They’re pretty quick, so the line moves quickly.
1. Geisha’s Kiss: BIG burrito, but A LOT going on. If you’re more of a simplistic eater, this may be little TOO much for it. It’s basically everything and everything, which mixes up all the flavors. It does have texture because of the lotus chips.
2. Satori: simple and refreshing roll. Yellowtail w/​cucumber, onions, avocado, corn, and wasabi mayo. VERY light. If you like a simple roll, DO THIS ONE.
3.Salmon Samba: MY FAVORITE! I’m not a HUGE raw fish eater, so this one the salmon is baked. I do not get the wasabi dust, which I don’t like wasabi. But it’s not too simple, but not so much going on either.
4. Caballero: MEAT EATER? Try this one! It’s a asian/​mexican styled sushi. Tortilla chips inside giving it a little crunch. Saucy and VERY moist meat!
5. Lava Nachos: neat concept. Sushi nachos? Rice chips w/​tuna and other toppings. Good thing to share. I don’t really think it’s something that will FILL YOU UP, but definitely worth the try!

Been to both the SF location and now also the Palo Alto location and I don’t know why all the hype, but Sushirrito is just 2.5 stars a-​ok in my book.
Reasons why?
1. They pre-​prep the seaweed and rice to save time, but that results in soggy seaweed and that’s just not good eats in my book. I want my hand-​rolls (whether it be traditional japanese style or burrito style) to have crunchy seaweed.
2. They cut the roll on a bias to make it look pretty in the box, but because of the way the items are laid out, when it’s cut on a bias you end up with a lot of something in one bite and barely any of another thing in another. So, the flavors get lost. Some bites are amazing and others are just boring.
3. I got the chicken curry roll this time, but the chicken was cold. Not sure if it’s supposed to be served that way but it was a disappointment when I bit into it.
It does feel healthier than eating a burger for lunch, so there’s that. Don’t tell me the calorie count though since it probably isn’t really healthier. :)

OMG — sooo good. Fresh, light, crunchy, flavorful and you feel healthy eating it. Got the Geisha’s Kiss ($ 12) Yellowfin Tuna (Hand-​Line Caught), Tamago, Piquillo Peppers, Lotus Chips, Namasu Cucumber, Green Leaf Lettuce, Ginger Guac, Yuzu Tobiko with Sesame White Soya. It was really delicious. Also got a cup of Gen Mai Horchata ($ 3). Pairs well. Lightly sweet with cinnamon spice.
I’ll be back to «roll» with you.

It’s my first time and last time eating at this restaurant and it’s just my personal preference.
Sushiritto is for 1 type of person. Someone who likes sushi and burrito. If you don’t like either you can stop reading right now and don’t even bother going through the door. If you like both, it’s worth a try.
If you like being stuffed by a burrito at a Mexican restaurant, order 2 rolls here. If you like to taste the freshness of the tuna, turn around and never come back.
As someone who grew up in Asian and has tasted some of the freshest fish out there, I’m not expecting that here. But when you tell me there’s some ginger guac in my burrito, I kind of expect to taste the sauce. I don’t care if your poke isn’t as fresh or delicious as the one from Costco. The rolls are interesting in paper. But when the lotus root chips are the most interesting thing I my mouth when I take a bite, that’s not saying much to the combination created here at the restaurant. We ordered geisha and salmon samba because satori was sold out. It’s 3pm on a Saturday. You can’t run out of your signature item on the menu.
If you like the messiness of a burrito and want it with your Japanese food, by all means, go here. If you want a good burrito and good sushi, go to your favorite Mexican place for lunch and sushi joint for dinner.
It’s not worth the 30 minutes you’re waiting in line for. Nor your $ 12-​$ 15 bucks.

At first I was really excited about the idea, but I always couldn’t visit the SF store because they only served lunch. However, my hope was up again when there is a Palo Alto branch.
Howadays, there is always a line out the door before they open. I decided to join the line with some friends when they visited. After around 30 minutes, we finally could order. The menu is fixed, there are about 9 choices. I was surprise to see it costs so much for an order ($ 13) For the most expensive one.
The ingredients are very fresh, I could taste the freshness in the sashimi and other ingredients. But that’s it, it’s blend, it’s flavorless. Sure it’s fusion, but it still has to taste good right?
One order probably can’t be full enough for most people. It consist of a very thin layer of rice, some fish and veges, that’s it.
It definitely is a twist in traditional japanese food and I can understand why there is a hype chasing it. However, after 1 try, I probably won’t come back again. It’s just not for me, I rather to get some sushi

Such an amazing concept. I have to give this place 5 stars because in DC someone opened a place exactly like this, which is more expensive and less tasty and I thought that was good. In comparison Sushirrito really does it the best.
I heard the line is usually out the door, but luckily we missed the crowd by coming here on Christmas Eve after noon. My brother and I got the kissing geisha and my mom got the salmon. The salmon was good but the geisha was amazing! The pairing of the guac, tuna, and lotus chips (which have it a good crunch) was wonderful.
My brother and I were disappointed though that they had already run out the lava chips. By the website photo, we were drooling by the time we stepped into the restaurant’s door for it.
I can’t wait to come back and eat Sushirrito again.

These guys are so efficient at making your sushirrito. You got someone making the base, putting toppings on it, rolling the sushi, wrapping it and checking you out. Although it seems like there is always a wait, the line usually goes by pretty quickly! They range from $ 10-​$ 12.
I am a big fan of the sumo crunch! I also tried the geisha’s kiss but I wasn’t too adventurous with the taste, so I thought it was okay.
It was very interesting and it was definitely life changing!

Basically I’ve been dying to come here for almost a year now… so when I found out I would be in Palo Alto for the weekend, I knew it was time. Finally the moment that I could visit the fabled Sushirrito. Any time you have this much excitement built up, you’re bound to have a simultaneous fear that it won’t live up to the expectations. But Sushirrito pretty much blew my mind.
First of all, the concept is genius. Sushi rolls at restaurants never fill me up, but this? This beautiful, fat, flavor-​ridden sushi style burrito was filling and worth every single bite. I got the Geisha’s Kiss and I could rave about it all day. For $ 12, the price of a typical sushi roll, I was so full I had to save my other half for later! The tuna was so fresh, and the lotus chips — which I was initially a little wary of — added the absolute perfect crunch, much like a tempura batter but better.
My ONLY complaint is that the venue is pretty bleh. It’s all white/​bland and there are so few tables and so many people that I had to take mine to go. Normally this would knock a star off for me, but Sushirrito was so delicious and satisfying that it can’t get anything less than a ⁵⁄₅ in my book!

Ever since I discovered Sushiritto a month ago, I’ve come here at least 1x/​week, ordering 2 rolls at a time to save one for another meal :’) Needless to say, I am obsessed!
At $ 10 – 13, it’s honestly a fair price. It’s larger and more filling than a regular sushi roll, which would cost you the same price, if not more. The ingredients are fresh and I love that they make the ‘ritto in front of you (easier to ask for modifications and guaranteed fresh).
Minus one star because the service is less-​than efficient. They’re a bit slow and have messed up my order almost half the times I’ve been here. What happens is after they roll the sushiritto, they stack all the boxes without labeling them properly. So when it comes time for you to pay, they lose track of which sushiritto is yours (ie. I asked for one with a modification and got the wrong one).
Also, the wait is at least 25 – 30 minutes during the weekday lunch hour (12 – 1:30p).

You’ve probably seen Sushirrito somewhere on social media. It’s flooded Facebook and Instagram, especially after the grand opening in Palo Alto a few months ago. In the past, you’d have to get it in the city but the recent openings of so many different chains in South Bay have made easier to experience the hype.
Located right next to Blue Bottle AND Umami Burger, Sushirrito is in a prime location of downtown Palo Alto. There’s an area outside for the lines to form, a signal that the hype is here to stay for a while.
The whole concept of Sushirrito is simple. Burritos and sushi are similar in concept, so why not both? Contrary to what I originally thought (thanks Chipotle), everything at Sushirrito is pre-​selected and you have a couple of choices you can choose from. I went with the Salmon Samba, thinking it would have raw salmon (or at least smoked salmon) but was surprised when I saw it was fully cooked. The only one with raw fish to my understanding is the Geisha’s Kiss. The sushirrito itself doesn’t taste too special, it’s exactly what you would imagine a giant handroll to taste like. The Salmon Samba had a nice kick to it with the deep fried asparagus, but the highlight of having non-​cooked fish (or at least smoked) was really disappointing. It definitely wasn’t the hype that I had expected from all of the photos I’ve seen floating around the internet.
Sushirrito is a pretty fun experience if you want to try a giant sushi and see it being prepared in front of you. It’s one more thing to check off the list if you’re into that. But if I actually worked in downtown Palo Alto and creating a list of places to go to lunch regularly, Sushirrito would have a difficult time making it onto the list.
