best value and best sushi in town, the only bad experience we had was with this purple haired waitress who was super rude and... stu***. other than that everyone has been nice and the sushi chefs are amazing. Read more

A pretty decent sushi place for how deep in the valley we are. Only been here once but the food was delicious and the server... was kind. Read more

I hope the owner sees this review! I?m a longtime customer of Hi Sushi. My mom and I go nearly weekly and order the same four... items every visit. We always have the same waitress who has gotten to see my baby grow each time which is even more fun. Lately,that waitress hasn?t been around, and service has gotten worse. Today, we had a new server (she had blue colored hair), and thiswas our worst visit yet. We ordered a sashimi plate, and I wish I took a picture of the butchered fish so you all could see howawful it was. Our salmon pieces had knife cuts in the middle of the fish creating holes. The tuna ranged from paper thin tobinder thick. And another fish was the worst of the bunch. It had sinew all over it, knife cuts in the middle or partiallythrough the fish, and instead of being a rectangle shape, it was like a mountain range. It was so jagged, botched, and horrid,we grabbed the waitress to show her. She said the cooks must?ve prepped for the rolls and not sashimi to excuse the awful knifeskills. Then she admitted she actually doesn?t know anything about sushi and didn?t know what sashimi was supposed to look likeexcept that it?s normally more ?pretty? than that. Because of her lack of knowledge, she had seemingly no idea why my mom and I(huge sushi lovers) would have an issue with this. We sent 2/3 of the sashimi plate back in the pieces in came in, and theystill charged us the $24 for the plate. After bringing the check, she said the cooks apologized for the bad cuts and they werejust ?rushed.? Please, if you?re the owner of Hi Sushi, my mom and I adored your restaurant, and we don?t want to come back ifthe cooks don?t have pride in what they?re serving or if the staff don?t know about the food. Continue pushing high standardsfor your sushi or you will lose all your customers. Read more

Stopped in with a huge sushi craving. I eagerly ate everything they brought me, plus dessert and a beer (large). Although I was... so stuffed I could barely move and it was my only meal that day, it was brilliant!!! Read more

The presentation and flavor are always on point! Our faves include: Spicy tuna w/ crispy rice, Mango Tango, Lemon Tree, spicy... Lion King, unagi and Bluefin toro. Actually, everything is so good. Enjoy! Read more

Great lunch and dinner specials! Tasty rolls without too much rice.

Went in looking for a replacement sushi restaurant and what i found was the place i should have been coming to in the first... place. Great service, cool atmosphere and even better food. I knew i was at the right place when i walked in and saw twoseasoned Japanese gentleman doing all the slicing and dicing. Loved how every customer was greeted with a hello from them. Ifyou are looking for a show, go somewhere else, BUT if you are looking for great service and even better food, then go check themout. Read more

The lunch and dinner special is what sets this place apart. You get a huge amount of quality sushi for the amount you pay and... will never leave hungry. More likely you will leave with a doggie bag. The albacore tuna roll is my favorite and has neverdisappointed. The staff is very friendly and does a great job with refilling drinks. Read more
