“ Such a great little vibe. I stumbled in here after one sushi restaurant was closed and so happy I did. Amazing service, affordable prices, and great food! Loved the egg drop soup and samurai roll. ”

“ Delicious food! Excelent service. The server answered many questions about food items on the menue. She was very patient and very KNOWLEDGEABLE.Will definetly be back ”

“ We love San Diego !! So for our 44th wedding anniversary. We decided to go to San Diego for a Padres game and sushi. We decided to eat here. We were happy to see it is a family owned business. The young man helping us was very efficient and helpful with our menu choices. Needless to say the experience was what we hoped for. The sushi rolls were fresh and delicious. The ambience was friendly and inviting, and the prices were definitely favorable. ”

“ We ordered chicken Chow Mein with added veggies and it was tasty. The veggies were crisp with a good char on them from the wok. We also ordered Kung Pao chicken. This was ok by comparison, decent flavor just not a lot of spice. The service was the most disappointing and it's why I didn't give 5 stars. When our food came, our server didn't notice there was only one set of silverware. We had to ask for a second set. She never checked on us, I had to flag her down to get more water. I also had to nearly tackle her to get her to stop by so I could ask for the check. You might be thinking, "it sounds like the place may have been crowded". Nope, there were three occupied tables including ours. ”

“ Food was fantastic!! We started with appetizers- salt and pepper chicken, fried goyza and eggrolls. They were all delicious. My husband had chow mein noodles, I had the hot pot. My son in law had the orange chicken. My daughter had sushi. My grandson had a poki bowl. Every thing was delicious. Customer service was fantastic. Our server was very attentive. We were greeted when we walked in and when we left. We are definitely coming back!! ”

“ Always great for delicious quick take out! Tried Mongolian chicken this time and enjoyed it. ”

“ This place was a lucky find! I was walking around town after going to the park with my kids and we were hungry so just looking for a place to grab lunch. We happened upon Shisan Fan and I will say it is one of my top five sushi experiences in San diego ever! The kids had pork barbecue noodles and cleaned their plates! I had a dirty blonde roll with seared albacore, shrimp tempura, ponzu, and cilantro micro greens. Divine! I also had the Jessica Alba which is a bunch of fresh fish rolled in cucumber and a light citrus sauce, also topped with cilantro micro greens and caviar. Absolutely sensational. Austin, our server was warm and attentive. We showed up right as they were opening and he did a great job of juggling everything. We will definitely be back! ”

“ This 4th Ave corner suite in the Gaslamp Quarter is now the home of a new Chinese/Japanese restaurant after the previous sushi joint that came in from out of state did not survive for long. Prior to that, a nondescript Mexican eatery operated from here and was a frequent stop at the downtown food/drink taste festivals. Both the exterior and interior were well lit which drew attention like moths to a flame. The inside was very spacious and would be a great spot to host large groups. At the time of my visit, there was only one customer inside who was waiting for a takeout order. It happened to be the spouse of a local foodie friend. :) I took a seat at a two-top table by the front windows. The menu had a vast selection of sushi, sashimi, hand rolls, rice, and noodle entrees. I didn't have the patience to take a photo of each page as it would have been time consuming. I chose the following items to dine in. * Ex-Lover Roll: Soy paper wrapped crabmeat, salmon, yellowtail, avocado, and cucumber with ponzu sauce, eel sauce, and chef's blend on top. * Passion Salmon Bliss: Six pieces of salmon dressed with passion orchids sauce, mango, black tobiko, scallions, tōgarashi, and chili oil. There were eight pieces to the roll. The fish quality was good for both dishes. The better value was the roll as the sashimi was pricey for the quantity. I also ordered the Beef Chow Fun to take home for a future meal. This turned out to be my favorite because not only was the portion size good for the price, but the execution was solid. The noodles had some char to them which told me the kitchen was skilled with the stir-frying (wok hei). The beef could have been a little more tender, but the chow fun was why I brought my rating of Shisan Fan Sushi and Chinese Restaurant to a four star level. ”
