California Bowl Sushi & Teriyaki

Their food is good but call your order in or be prepared to wait. Went for lunch at 1:00 PM and ordered a chicken bowl… waited for half an hour. I brought it to the cashier’s attention and she was unapologetic and rude. There was an error because others with the same order received their orders before me. The cashier was incredulous that I would be annoyed and almost refused to give me the managers name.

First time in the area and I found this place here on Unilocal.I liked the reviews and to my surprise this place was a lot better than expected. I will definitely stop by again if am ever in the area. Highly recommend this place! I LOVED the food!

Well I wanted to hate this place cause it’s always busy. I came I ordered and wow. I’m in love I see now why it’s busy

Just went there tonight… just wanted to check this place out. Gotta mention that it was my first time there… First of all, the place is extremely clean, and that really means alot for me. I’ve ordered two CA bowls, two miso soups and a caterpillar roll… it took a while to get it ready (roughly about half an hour) maybe cuz it was busy at the moment… I got home and me and my wife opened everything… The chicken from CA bowl was really tasty, I mean not OK, like some other please you could go, it was gooooood. Plenty of slised avocado on the caterpillar, which is also nice and a miso soup was like it supposed to be… Definitely gonna come back again… the menu options are super huge.

I come here often and never disappoints me! Awesome sushi & food great service, not expensive but not cheap, and free miso soup when you dine in!

Good place to go for some basic sushi needs.
They are a franchise so I always know what I’m going to get when I come here. I used to order all the time from the location in Van Nuys.
I recommend their Katsu Curry if you don’t feel like having sushi.
I also recommend their Teriyaki Bowls. They are pretty good.
The Tuna bowl is kind of weird because it starts off amazing but there is so much tuna packed in there you kind of wonder why you ordered so much.
They also delivery if you are ordering of $ 30 so keep that in mind. This is small restaurant like Yoshinoya so good place to come if you want fast reliable food.

After a night of bowling we went over to get a bite to eat. Please keep in mind it is a few of us like 12 or so. We try to sit together and I understand that they don’t sit so many people together. So I politely ask if I can adjust the sitting. Not to make it my own place or anything like that, but the bus boy was super rude. He did not want to help and so I asked to speak to the manger she came out but took a long time to come out from the back. I explained to her the sitting and she was ok with it. People have no common sense. We spent over $ 100 and still tip. The food was ok and after they tried to cater to us. When they seen we were buying lots of food. What happen to don’t judge a book by it cover?
Won’t be going their again.

Came here multiple times and in a span of 3 ½ weeks twice I had hair in my food and it was really gross. I came with an appetite and immediately lost it. Make sure your u check your food prior to eating to make sure there isn’t a hair anywhere in between

Great prices, great service, great food! Can’t go wrong with this place! I personally wouldn’t have ever thought about coming in here if it weren’t because a friend of mine that lives nearby recommended it to me! Oh man am I glad he did! $ 8.95 (as of 11÷7÷15) gets you a delicious Spicy Tuna Salad that will definitely fill you up! I get it with the sesame dressing! It’s the best! Sometimes when I’m feeling very hungry, I’ll add an order of CA Roll for less than $ 5! I’m a big fan of sashimi, but I have yet to try it here. I’m not a salad eater, but I haven’t been able to order anything other than that every time I’ve been here! I highly recommend this place!

This place is my absolute go-​to sushi place, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable and the food is fresh and always delicious. I always recommend this sushi spot to all my friends and family.

Terrible. Grew up coming here but over the last 2 years they’ve hired a bunch of kids who don’t care or know about customer service. I made the mistake of not double checking them on a few of my orders and they’ve of course forgotten at least one item almost every time. Along with new lack of service also came lack of food quality. Hope this place doesn’t last too much longer

Not only are they slow but they don’t know how to roll sushi, can’t even pick a piece up with chopsticks without it falling apart I don’t not recommend this place at all! If you want good sushi I suggest you go elsewhere

I loveeee them here! I always call ahead of time to order and it’s always ready when I get here! I love the #42 and they are always accommodating to how I change it. Today I got the number 42 with aloha and California rolls!

Did a little experiment, these guys never deliver on time EVER, and they always have some sort of excuse thats always a lie. So one of our employees was dining in on there day off and we called in an order for delivery. When we called back an hour later we called back an hour later they said it got very busy and the order was pushed back but the delivery guy was out and would be there any second. Our guy in the store said they were not very busy but joking around alot and taking lots of smoke breaks. After we called in they panicked and started to make the order. They forgot the order and lied about it. All the employees are very daft and seasoned liars. take your money elsewhere.
Edit
30 min after i called to cancel our order they delivery guys shows up and still tried to get us to take the now two hour late food. At then he said we cant order from there anymore. So i cant get any more mediocre service, oh well.

Great sushi. Love their Washington rolls salmon/​crab with avocado. Thinking about going a lot more and trying the rest as soon as I’m sick of eating the Washington roll but that doesn’t seem likely. It’s damn tasty.
Comfortable atmosphere for eating alone also.

Unagi and Avocado Bowl!!! It was very delicious and the pieces of Unagi were very big. It was only $ 7.99 and I thought the price was great for what you got. Another plus is that you got Miso soup, which was alright. It was not bad nor good.
Wait Time: We did not have to wait long and the miso soup that they served helped with the wait time. They were also very busy with a lot of take out orders and the wait was short.
Customer Service: They were very polite and helpful. They asked me if I needed anything and it wasn’t even a restaurant. I could tell the employees liked what they were doing or pretended really good jk.
I can’t wait to go back and try the sushi. It looks really fresh and delicious.

I’ve eaten here a bunch of times. I’ve had their Sushi and Bowls.
This is NOT what you would call a Real Sushi Restaurant; it’s just ok sushi. If you want Real Sushi, you’d need to go to a Japanese Sushi house that specializes in sushi and Japanese food.
I would call this place an upgraded version of Yoshinoya that also serves sushi. With the exception that Yoshinoya’s chicken is actually moist.
Their chicken bowls are served with dark meat, so I don’t know why the meat is so dry. I understand that they cook it in advance, but come on; do you need to overcook it so much.
Anyway, I still recommend you try this place; they’re just ok, overall.

I’m so mad that I’m writing this review without a baked salmon roll right now!
The food here is soooo good. I usually order 2 rolls — salmon, lobster, unagi, California or dynamite roll. One for now and the other for later. Everything is so yummy and delicious and made to order. There’s something for everybody — including the non sushi eaters. Huge selection of rolls, bowls and combination plates.
Totally affordable for 1 or 2 people — but it can be pricey if you’re feeding a family of 4 or more. You can eat here or take out. Miso soup is served with your meal if you dine in. They’re very busy during lunch and the parking lot is usually packed. They deliver to local areas. Great service from the staff whether in person or over the phone. You won’t be disappointed!

Pros: Excellent service, selection, & quality of food.
Cons: can get very crowded, & quite warm inside on hot days.
The family & I come here as often as possible, and have never had a bad dish! I would definitely recommend the chicken bowl, spicy tuna bowl, or shrimp tempura udon bowl.

I have been in here a few times over the last year. I’m pretty simple and just get rolls or shrimp and chicken. Parking is adequate since it is in a strip mall. Service is always fast and friendly.
