      Sushi is FRESH here, which is so nice! You can taste it in all of their different food items. We've had their sashimi, nigiri, maki, rolls (both fresh & baked). All very delicious items. They even have to-go items in the fridge in front of their business such as sushi rolls, ginger, teas, and miso paste. It is located within the Marketplace on Park St., close to the bridge. They are very pleasant. I called in an order for 2 rolls recently (Orange Blossom + Lion King) and it was done within 10 minutes. My only gripe was that the Lion King was not baked long enough to have that melted, baked taste. But the taste of the fresh fish in it was VERY pleasing so safe to say, I'll be coming back to this business more often and just let them know of the baked preference

      It's honestly not bad for what it is. I don't ever come here because it's inside a supermarket next to a couple of other places to eat. Barely any parking or places to sit. But if you need a quick take out spot, this is not bad.

      They have sushi sitting out in their fridge you can pick from right away if you're in a rush. I haven't tried those yet and to be honest, it doesnt matter where I'm at, I don't think I'd ever pick sushi from a fridge like that. They also have a menu you can look at and order from, those they make on the spot. I saw a mango roll on the menu and was instantly a sucker for it. The other roll I got was an A's roll. I finished both rolls and was perfectly full from it so it was average sized in terms of potions

      The rolls came out pretty fast and was average. If you're ever in need of a quick sushi fix and in a rush, this is a good spot. You can even go grocery shopping after.

      Still my favorite, casual, takeout sushi spot after at least 20 years. The quality of sushi and friendliness of the staff keeps me coming back. Not sure why the ratings are so low, but whatever. More sushi for me then! Our family loves Sushi King!

      Sushi King restaurant is one of the BEST sushi spots I've eaten at in many, many years! It's clean and cozy, and their service is repeatedly satisfactory; the staff is always friendly, and their menu selections are one-of-a-kind. You can even ask them (nicely) to add other items to your sushi order that you might see on their menu. 
      The "Itamae" and  "Shokunin" make Sushi King an authentic Japanese culinary experience here in Alameda. Ooh, they also had a variety of Immaculately displayed ready-made orders to go.

      The unagi and the ninja roll are my favorite, their unagi sauce is amazing, it's hard for me to try different things from the menu because the unagi and ninja are so good!

      Hubby and I were going to go out to eat with our friends, but there has been change of plans so we were trying to decide where to go to grab food. We went out for errands and he had wanted to get i-Tea. I remembered there was a sushi place nearby and suggested that we can get a few rolls. I remember going out to eat here pre-Covid with Hubby and another friend and it was good. We went to order the rolls we want and went to i-Tea to grab our drinks.

      The people working there were kind. We got our drinks quick and I asked for an update just to see how much longer and he told me about another 5 ish minutes since it needs to bake. As we waited, we wondered around the grocery store just looking around.

      The rolls were good, but it could've been better. The Lion King was the best one out of the 3 that we have gotten. It doesn't taste like how it use to be when we first went there to eat, but it wasn't bad. Maybe the rolls will taste better eating right then and there? But who knows. We may or may not be back, depending if we can find another sushi place that is to our liking nearby.

      I like sushi king's spicy tuna rolls. They are cheap and a stable for my weekday lunch. I find their other rolls to be okay but something about their simple spicy tuna just hits different. I like that the tuna is ground and mixed with seasoning and heat instead of just throwing some sriracha on top of a regular tuna roll like some other places do. They're located inside a marketplace with plenty of parking and have a few rolls pre packed and ready to go but I always ask them to make mine fresh because sometimes to pre-packaged ones can have staler rice if it was made earlier in the day. The workers are always very pleasant and polite and I will continue to return for my spicy tuna rolls. My only suggestion would be if they wanted to start doing some sort of loyalty program...that would be dope. I eat so many spicy tuna rolls from there so a lil some some every now and then would be a bonus.

      No amount of soy sauce could save the watery muddy unfresh tuna or the somewhat spoiled salmon. This is a no, never again. Hoping I don't get sick from the two bites I took...

      Was pleasantly surprised by the sushi here. They had a nice selection in the cold case you could grab to go and I was surprised to see fatty salmon belly! I ordered a nigiri mix (chefs choice) from the menu. Came with a really good selection of nigiri including squid and mackerel. They subbed out the unagi and tuna for me with the fatty salmon belly I'd been eyeing in the cold case which was yummy and soft. The fish was not too cold, which is how it should be. Is it the best sushi I've ever had? Ive lived in Japan, so no. But it was great quality for the price. My new go-to cheap/quick sushi place.
