Huge rolls. I mean HUGE. Bigger is better right?? Seriously, the rolls are double the size of any 'normal' order and they don't sacrifice taste/quality for size either! I'm sure one roll is more...

Below Average sushi. If you a true sushi lover, please ignore all the 5-star reviews here. Quantity does not equal Quality. Yes, the rolls are huge and the prices are low, but they all tasted like...

I certainly have a fond spot for this place in my heart (and my stomach, haha) If you have ever been to Sushi House in Alameda, one can say that their rolls are similar. HOWEVER!! Yes! You must...

Bring an appetite or ask for a doggie bag if you order more than one roll, their burrito size sushi rolls will fill you up. But it's definitely not the best quality sushi around downtown. The rice to...

I really would have liked to give this place more stars, because the portions were generous and service was good. However, I can't shake the image of a slab of tuna sashimi laying in a tiny pool of...

Great sushi joint if you love rolls. Their rolls are HUGE. For the same price as other places, you get a roll that is probably 1/3 bigger.I can usually pack away 2 rolls at places like Sushi House or...

Nestled on B Street between Capellini's and O'Neil's pub (same block as Jeffrey's Hamburgers) Joy Sushi is the latest resident in a restaurant space that's had a lot of turnover. They have a very good sushi...
