Sushi Fresh Camarillo — Restaurant in Camarillo

Was visiting Camarillo area with the family to visit friends, and we decided to eat here since the reviews mentioned a conveyor belt for sushi, and having been stationed in Japan, we missed those types of sushi places where you can pick plates off the conveyor belt and pay for the plates you pick. Unfortunately, the conveyor belt is shut down as a COVID precaution, which is understandable but still disappointing, so we ordered sushi rolls which were really good.

I enjoyed the cherry roll and honeymoon roll, while my wife had the shrimp tempura roll and an order of baked green mussels. The food we ordered was outstanding. My daughter played it safe with the California roll, which she thoroughly enjoyed with gyoza as an appetizer. The kids' menu selections were very limited with only two choices, a chicken teriyaki bento plate or beef beef teriyaki bento plate which also comes with miso soup. If your kids really enjoy teriyaki which my middle son does, then the amount of food for the price $9.99 is a great deal...the bento has tempura shrimp and vegetables and a single gyoza, rice, and the aforementioned soup. My youngest son, however, made due with the grilled salmon bowl. He is usually a big fan of grilled salmon marinated in mirin, which is what most Japanese restaurants serve, but the grilled salmon here didn't hit the spot for him. The grilled salmon bowl was the only miss in all the dishes we had.

Hopefully next time we visit the conveyor belt is back in action. As a regular sushi restaurant, the sushi is good and are the highlight as they should be. The fish to rice ratio was just right and definitely satisfies that sushi craving if you're...

The two stars are only because the cooks were good. But AWFUL waitresses!!! I'm sorry... "servers" because she argued that was her title. Absolutely horrible. Worst service I've EVER had in my life. Had to ask for house salad, but she said they didn't have it at first. Turns out they did. I knew because it's on the menu. She didn't offer anything at all for us only brought out drinks and talked to her friend the whole time on the other side of the bar. Didn't have our check ready at the end and took 10 extra minutes to get our check because she didn't know what we ordered. She acted all happy go lucky and even cocky with a loud mouth walking around the restaurant, paying NO attention to her customers. The cooks had to flag her down for us and even then she wasn't right over. She needs to be fired. Sushi was good everything else was just...

The people were very nice and the service was prompt. The music was a combination of J-pop and classic country and that was fun, as were the music videos However, the quality of the fish was mediocre at best. I tried four different varieties of "fresh" fish sushi plus the spicy tuna. The salmon, tuna and yellowtail all were fairly tough and the tuna appear to have been dyed. It was a lurid dark red. The Spicy Tuna was grainy. The snapper was ok. The rice was cold and unseasoned. I had specifically asked when I sat down what was fresh and good and four out of the five dishes where neither. Still, nice people in my service makes...
