I was traveling some cities on the east coast and got together with my relatives in Connecticut. My cousin who lives not too far from this neighborhood recommended this sushi place and made a reservation for our family get-together. After finishing our amazing sushi dinner, I realized why he loves this place so much. Everything was just so fresh and delicious. We ordered tamago sushi for the kids and the chef cut them in halves so that they can eat it easily. Everyone was so friendly and nice. Great food, great service. I so want to come here again next time I am in town. The whole family really enjoyed our dinner. By the way, they won many awards and they’ve been around over 10 years.

Awesome food and excellent service very nice restaurant my wife and I will definitely be back again we finally found our new favorite restaurant! Update 2024: Went to Sushi California to celebrate our wedding anniversary on 9/3. Ordered two appetizers: pork gyoza and beef kushi, and two entrees: Red Snapper Teppanyaki & Teppanyaki steak both with fresh salad and miso soup. Everything was cooked perfectly and service was professional, friendly and prompt. We look forward to going back soon.

The mushroom soup is amazing and it comes along with California roll which is a good combination and the food is great and is a really nice place to eat sushi

Fantastic establishment. I used to go to college around here, and keep going back because the food is so good. The service has always been great - even with different staff over the years. The sushi is some of the best in the area, and when they added the grill, it got much much better. Great restaurant, great business, just make sure you bring your own wine.

Everything was so good! I got the salmon teriyaki lunchbox. It started with the best side salad! It was nice and full and fresh, and the ginger dressing did not taste like mayo. The seaweed salad was perfect- it didn't have that weird taste I often experience at some restaurants. The teriyaki was perfect- not too sweet. Everything else was perfectly delicious and fresh. Probably the best asian restaurant I've been to in quite some time. The service was also wonderful. Not to mention, the genuine smile from the sushi chef as I was leaving.

Been going here for 12-14 years and its the ONLY restaurant in CT that I can rely on to have an amazing meal every time. Was blown away by the quality we had tonight, best sushi I’ve had in a while and we eat sushi frequently. Definitely my favorite and go to place!

What a great meal we shared with friends at Sushi California! Their attention to detail and presentation was really impressive on all of the sushi and sashimi. I thought the teppanyaki and Yaki soba dishes were fantastic as well! Everything was fresh, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. It was clean and the dining room had a nice ambience. I also thought it was nice that they had a menu of specials that get rotated out monthly! This is a great spot to know about in the area, and CCSU students should definitely come check this spot out!
