Say Sushi Restaurant

I ordered the Tofu and seafood soup, say pink roll, and eel roll. They all taste good. My friend had the gyoza and pork Katsu, she liked them. This place is cozy, and I will definitely come back.

The only thing that was okay was their soy sauce.
That’s how bad this place is, not their sushi, not their anything, their soy sauce was alright.
And their service was slow as heck.
Don’t even walk in.
My opinion.

Food was good but where’s the beef? Skimped on portion of bulgogi beef in the actual dish so was mostly noodles.

I always went here during my freshman year because the dining commons got real nasty real quick! While it’s not the best Korean food I’ve had, it’s the best there is without having to drive or take the bus. I highly recommend their daegu jiri, soon dubu jjigae, and bibimbap!

This place is simple and good place to grab a quick bite of sushi. The quality is okay, not great. Everything was just A-​OK.

Decent place where the chef/​waiter was very friendly. It is byob with no corkage. That’s a huge plus in my book. The food was decent. The special rolls are not too interesting but the spicy salmon/​tuna rolls are great. The spicy sauce is not just your creamy sriracha mayo sauce, it is aactually a little spicy and the sauce was tasty. Miso soup was not too salty (always judge the miso). The Hweh dup bap was really good and the portion is good. There are definitely hits and misses at this place, but my experience was positive overall.

Say Sushi is my number one destination spot when headed back to State College. Unless you are trying to spend meal points on your date, Say Sushi is the best way to go. It’s small and cozy and its BYOB. Really as good as it gets, the staff is very friendly as long as you are friendly. If you are looking for a bougie sushi joint with dim lighting and expensive menu, go somewhere else. This is good cheap sushi and damn good times.

BYOB! Yaaaaaaaaaasssss.
They’ve been around for something like twenty years and they are my favorite secret-​weapon date spot. Its really genuine and cozy and not try-​hard, just authentic and YUM.
Love the unlimited Korea dish sides ^.^ mmmmm kimchi.
I was just traveling in Korea & Japan, and when I am missing my travels, Say Sushi is my go-​to for finding the best to choose from both cuisines.

The best sushi joint in all of State College… which isn’t saying much but coming from LA, I still find it enjoyable. The décor leaves a bit to be desired, but it’s not bad enough to make you uncomfortable, on the contrary, it almost feels homey with the soft music and extremely friendly staff.

I was disappointed that the bento box included less than at Fuji and Jade. The Miso soup tasted very processed and the server neglected our waters. The food was fine but nothing special. I would only recommend it if you don’t want to walk all the way to Fuji and Jade and you really need Japanese food.

I’ve heard good things about Say Sushi in the past so we decided to try it out. We order a combination of Korean and Japanese food. What you see in front of me are some kind of Japanese udon noodles. The broth was warm and hit the spot but it could have been more flavourful. My lady friend ordered seafood tofu soup which was good but not as good as the one we had in Kimchi Korean Restaurant. Overall, this meal was satisfying but unspectacular. I would recommend Kimchi if you crave some good Korean food.

Good food. Service was a bit slow.

I was at this restaurant for lunch with a friend and we enjoyed the sushi here. It was pretty cheap for sushi. The service was okay. I guess the waiter was new because I did have better service before. Overall, we were done eating and paying the bill in 40 minutes.

OK sushi excellent Korean food. Service can lack sometimes. It feels like they under staff on servers.

Went here after my first bad hankering for sushi in State College. In addition to the nigiri being warmed, off-​color, and overpriced, you’d think that being the only customers in the store the service would have been better. Now I stick to Wegman’s.

It’s tough reading all the negative comments about this place. Obviously you are not going to find the best sushi you have ever had in STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA but there are definitely rolls on the menu that are well worth it. This place is a great spot to go with a date or a few friends and eat something before going out. There are no more than 15 tables in the restaurant making it a small and local spot and it is BYOB so drinks are as cheap as they can be.

I had the worst date of my life at this restaurant back in college, so I rarely eat here for fear of conjuring up bad memories. But I recently came back to catch up with a friend over sushi and wine, which was a much better experience than listening to some guy talk about his roommate’s sex life and quote obscure movies. And then having his card declined. Back to the topic at hand…
The sushi here is actually good… if you don’t get raw fish. The rolls are small but the rice is done pretty much perfectly. So things like eel & avocado roll are safely delicious. Unfortunately, the fish is not very fresh. Since most of us sushi-​lovers are into the raw stuff, that’s a huge blow against Say Sushi. The non-​sushi items like dumplings, tempura, and the Korean dishes are pretty good though. I actually think that if they changed their name to something that didn’t suggest that sushi was the main focus here, people would view them much more positively. I also think their prices are too high for the small portions and so-​so quality.
Our server was nice, but when I told her I didn’t know how to use the type of corkscrew she gave me properly, she told us that she didn’t either and the kitchen was too busy to help. Um, is this a BYOB or what? After she saw our incredulous facial expressions, she said she would see if someone in the kitchen was willing, and they were, so it turned out fine. But really, next time I might just BYOcorkscrew…

Appalling. That’s what I call their food. A Japanese restaurant opened by Koreans? I’ve heard this story told before, and it never ends well. This restaurant does have a pretty convenient location. It’s right downtown on Allen Street, across from the Allenway Apartments. Too bad that it sucks though.
I came here one night for a quick dinner. At around 9pm, there was no one else in the restaurant, so I thought that I’d at least get good service. Don’t jump to conclusions. When I looked at the menu, their prices were pretty comprable to Japanese restaurants in real cities, so that was a rough start already. Say Sushi also does have a Korean menu, which to be honest, I’d trust a whole lot more than their Japanese food.
The funny thing is that when I ordered a roll, they gave me some Korean appetizer dishes to start off with. I’ve never had that before, but I’m not the kind of guy to turn down free kimchee either. The food here tastes mediocre at best. If I were to make a comparison, I would say it rivals Panda Express. Service? Well, there isn’t much. I tried to call a waitress over for 10 minutes to get my check, only to have no luck. I guess talking it up with the other workers is more important. Thus, I had to go up and pretty much do everything on my own. Save yourself the pain and agony and go somewhere else.

I went there last month for lunch.
Sushi is okay but the sashimi is nightmare. They keep their sashimi in fridge and my sashimi still has ice inside the meat… This means the sashimi has been outside the fridge for a while and put back to the fridge again. Highly DANGEROUS and UNACCEPTABLE.

I really wanted to like Say Sushi. It’s right across the street from my apartment, making it a perfect lunch takeout option.
I had no idea what to eat there (I don’t like sushi), so I ordered their lunch special of Bibimbap (see picture). I guess that what happens when there’s no picture on the menu. It was hot white rice, with raw vegetables (carrots, spinash and lettuce), an egg on top and unseasoned tofu on the side. I was a little disappointed, but eh it’s my fault for not asking more details. There wasn’t any sauce on it, which was odd, but after adding the brown sauce and the spicy sauce it tasted ok.
The place is small, it about 8 tables on a small mezzanine and some extra tables right by the entrance and the window. It feels cramped a little, especially for lunch. Service was excellent.
I’ll probably go back again, with better advice and recommendations from Korean friends. At this point it’s hard to give a good review (other than it was cheap for lunch). How do you give a review for raw vegetables and an egg?
