Tsuki Sushi

I always loved getting delivery from here. The three roll special was such a good deal and the sushi was always well rolled and tasty. But they stopped delivering to my apartment, so they will likely be losing me as a customer.

This is my local sushi spot. I won’t say it’s GREAT sushi, but my Tsuki pals are reliable, quick, and clean. The sushi is fine — it’s fresh, they have a variety of signature rolls, many of which I’ve tried and have enjoyed, but I’m all about their three-​roll special for 11.95. All about it.
The sweet potato roll is my favorite. When I move in June, I’ll really miss Tsuki — maybe not the sushi itself, because I’ve had better, but the convenience of the location and the friendliness of the waitresses who ring me up every time I come in to pick my order.

Tsuki Sushi operates both as a restaurant but probably is best known as a delivery service (you can order through multiple outlets such as GrubHub, Unilocal,etc.). As you can probably see, reviews vary from both the delivery and dine-​in standpoint. I will weigh in on both below.
Delivery (Ordered through GrubHub):
I am very impressed with the GrubHub delivery option that Tsuki Sushi has to offer. The pricing as well and the quality of the food is very competitive with other sushi joints across the neighborhood. I challenge you to find a 3 roll special for the price that Tsuki offers that ALSO has a good fish: rice ratio. Delivery is relatively prompt. I have ordered Tuski over 20 times and they have arrived before the estimated GrubHub time by up to half an hour for a great majority of orders. They have only been late once. (Note: I live in the graduate hospital area.) The sushi arrives fresh and is tasty. As other reviewers note, not all of the deliverymen speak English well, but enough to communicate directions and receive your order without any issues.
Dine In:
My 2 dine-​in experiences with Tsuki were also quite good. I went on weekend evenings both days and there were probably 1 – 2 other tables occupied when I arrived. Note that the restaurant is small, totaling probably fewer than 10 tables overall. The staff is polite and the sushi just as fresh and tasty as the delivery option. The only thing I will say is that do not be surprised that your sushi takes longer than you would expect for an «empty» restaurant. It is likely that your dine-​in order is queued with all of the take out orders.
Overall, Tsuki Sushi offers quality sushi in the low-​mid price range. If you are looking for exceptional cuts of fish or are a sushi connoisseur, you will probably be disappointed. However, if you’re the average person looking to satisfy a sushi fix, I highly suggest you try this restaurant.

2.5 stars
I’ve walked and drove by this place many times over the years but never tried it – never really had the urge to either. My friend lives around the corner and she said the place has decent sushi, but can only review the cooked stuff. I’m not picky about restaurants, but i am picky about my raw fish so i gave it a try with zero expectations. The place is fairly small but it was crowded on a late’ish Friday night. The crowd seemed to be a mixture of yuppies and college students due to the area – most looked like regulars as well.
We started with the gyoza which was good and nicely pan seared. I got the chirashi and my friend got the 3 roll special for $ 12, california, shrimp tempura, futomaki. My meal came with a salad (or miso). The salad was good but we both felt the ginger dressing was on the sweeter side. My chirashi was probably one of the worse i’ve had in my entire life – i did finish the fish though because i don’t like wasting food. The rice was not good at all (didn’t eat much). It tasted stale or something from a supermarket that has been sitting in the fridge section for too long… i think they don’t use enough water to cook it. Also, it’s not seasoned at all (or if it was, then it lacked any flavor). Out of the 5 types of fish, the salmon was the only good one. The rest were either low grade (tuna) or unappealing.
Surprisingly, i tried all 3 rolls and they were pretty good, hence, i’m giving them 3 stars. If it was just my meal, it would be 2 stars. The tempura was good. The rice, oddly enough, was better with the sushi rolls. The good thing about this place is that they use a lot of (fresh) avocado which makes the 3 roll special a great deal.
Service was spotty. We didn’t get new plates or new soy sauce dishes after salad/​gyoza. Our water was filled only once or twice and left empty for the remaining of our dinner.
I can only suggest getting the cooked sushi 3 roll special here. I’d skip the sashimi/​nigiri.

This is my go-​to spot for ordering sushi! I have tried many places but none as quick and accurate as this one! I highly recommend this place. I always get my food within30−40 minutes after ordering and the food is always consistent. I have never had a bad experience and their prices are amazing and totally worth it! Go get your sushi!

4 stars is for sit-​in dining! See below for comment on delivery.
Came here for lunch with a friend on a random Saturday. It’s a small place (maybe 10 tables) smaller than I thought it’d be from walking by, but pleasant and not cramped at all.
Sushi: was great! Fresh, and not overloaded with rice. Had a caterpillar roll and spicy tuna roll. The spicy tuna wasn’t particularly spicy, but they mix it with crunchies (tempura bits?) and that was delish.
Service was also just fine. Didn’t have to wait for anything. Everyone was cheery and polite. I asked for more ginger and promptly received a tower of it, all of which I consumed.
Very reasonably priced — what you’d expect for sushi around here, i.e., special rolls in the $ 10 – 13 range.
Delivery/​take-​out: Same comments as everyone else on here. The timing is unreliable, therefore the food suffers because sushi needs to be eaten fresh. Note that the first language of those who work here was not English, so phone convos… you get it.
If you want to order ahead, do so at your own risk or plan some buffer in.

Quick delivery and good sushi!

I wound up here randomly on a Saturday night. I had planned to go to a different sushi restaurant for dinner but they were packed, so I came here. The service was great, the waitstaff was very fast, and attentive, and the food was spectacular. Best part? Three roll sushi combo for $ 11 on a Saturday night! We also ordered two specialty rolls that were equally good, edamame, and miso soup, all for $ 40. 5% off if you pay with cash, and we got some orange slices as a complimentary dessert. This place rocks!

I have only had take out from here so this is based on that experience. The lunch menu was totally reasonably priced and had some great inexpensive lunch options, I think I spent less than 15 bucks for quit a bit of food, but it fails in flavor, creativeness and uniqueness. I love a Sushi chef that has his or her own spin on things, adds something you weren’t expecting etc. But this was just plan ol’ rice with fish and seaweed. Someone else mentioned this was good in a pinch and I would agree.

I’ve only had the lunch special so far and it’s not too bad of a deal for around $ 11. The sushi ingredients were fresh, and I liked that I was able to choose 3 rolls from a pretty good variety of options. All 3 I chose (spicy salmon, eel avocado, and shrimp tempura) were high-​quality and fantastic, not your cheapo California rolls.
The spicy salmon was a flavorful mix of some spices, mayo sauce, and shredded salmon and maybe was fried on the bottom. The shrimp tempura had the fried tails sticking out on either end of the roll like they serve in the pricier dinner rolls and similarly delicious — same goes for the eel avocado. Dinner/“regular price” roll quality, but 3-​in-​1 for the reasonable cost of $ 11 for lunch. The miso soup was pretty standard.

I usually go to Vic Sushi bar on Sansom, but they were closed on Sunday so I ended up here. I was delightfully surprised by how fresh the fish was. I got their 3 roll special… similar to 3 roll special at Vic. Overall, I enjoyed the sushi here and will definitely come back.

I am a regular at this place, and have never been disappointed with the awesome range of Sushis, and my favorite, the Avocado salad.

Ordered delivery 3 roll special of Spicy Tuna, spicy salmon, and spicy yellowtail. They all tasted absolutely the same… Not even convinced they were different rolls.
Also, got charged an extra $ 3 for delivery on top of the regular delivery charge because I live more than 2 miles away without notice. Thanks for that guys… Overall mediocre at best.

The owner of Tsuki is wonderful and I’ve done business with him for the last couple of years with catering orders. They always arrive on time/​early and get our huge order perfect! Their sushi is delicious and they have a huge variety.

They’re okay in a pinch, but I’ve been burned too many times by the food not being ready when they claim it should be and the rice being rather stale.
If you want to use the convenient online Unilocal ordering system, go for it, but be aware that the food has only a 50 – 50 shot of being ready when they say it’ll be. I’ve had to wait on multiple occasions and often have company with other people who were told X minutes and found out it was a lot longer.
The vast majority of times the rice feels stale and ends up making the roll taste like something from a grocery store. It’s never been bad, per se, but it’s often been underwhelming. The meat itself is okay – nothing too special.
If you can get them when the rice is fresh, you’re in for a pretty good deal although their 3-​roll special is a bit more expensive than other places. I’ve found other sushi places close by that seem to have tastier sushi and more consistency.

Not the best sushi I’ve ever had but I live across the street and you really can’t beat the $ 12.00 three-​roll special! I always get the white tuna, shrimp tempura, and spicy salmon with brown rice. Perfect if you’re looking for a simple and quick dinner.

When I wanted to get sushi delivered and heard this place had 3 rolls for $ 11, I was really skeptical, but I thought I’d give it a try anyway to avoid spending a ton of money on my usual Makiman. This place was shockingly really good. The sushi tastes fresh and is delicious. The sushi pizza appetizer is also one of my favorites– it’s a crunchy Mexican tortilla topped with spicy tuna with a spicy eel sauce on top. Also, the food came extremely quickly– in about 30 minutes through Grub Hub.

This has become my go-​to cheap sushi place. Delivery is consistently fast, the sweet potato sushi is amazing, and the employees are very efficient with their deliveries (you don’t have to try to find them, no extra chit chat, just a friendly drop-​off). I’ve never been unhappy with any of my orders here, and there have been quite a few.
I don’t get terribly adventurous with sushi, so I have no idea what they offer in that respect. However, if you want something fast and cheap, you really can’t beat their 3-​roll special. I also like that you can order delivery through all the major delivery sites. It makes the process extra fast, and I can choose to order from whichever site I have a coupon for that day.

Sushi here is cheap but the ingredients seem lower quality. The shrimp tempura is over battered and the shrimp is rather small. The eel is half chewy skin and less eel meat. Their salmon isn’t too bad. I like their alaska roll, nice big chunks of avocado. Their avocado’s actually fresh and I like that.
The three roll special is a good deal and they really pack the trays full. Compared to Vic Sushi about 2 blocks away, I would go with Vic. If you don’t feel like waiting for the slow service at Vic’s though, Tsuki Sushi would work in a pinch. Tsuki’s has online ordering, too!

If you like sushi, I would skip this place. I only like vegetarian kind, and thus i am not a tough critic when it comes to sushi. However, I was disappointed thoroughly. Each piece that I picked up with my chopsticks fell apart. Maybe an off nite? The help was very friendly.
And beware to my raw fish eating friends! My partner got mad sick after eating their salmon. I guess that can happen anywhere, but it’s never happened for him at the two other places in the city that we love.
If you happen to be in this neighborhood Monday through Saturday, choose Vic instead… on sansom btwn 20 and 21. If it is Sunday and Vic is closed, it is probably better to go for Chinese instead.
