Show Sushi — Restaurant in La Palma

I've dined here many times over the years. The food and service are top-notch, and I am happy to be a returning customer. The staff is kind and attentive, and the chefs are hardworking and genuine artists. There are also plenty of TVs to catch sports while eating.

Some of my favorites are the Lunch Special Combos and bento boxes. On a recent visit, I ordered the beef bulgogi combo. It was tender and flavorful, the shrimp tempura was light and crispy, the miso soup was hot, and the salad was refreshing. The 10-piece sushi combo (your choice) with miso soup and salad is another go-to if I'm in the mood for a sushi meal and want to try several types of sushi.

One of the things I also love about Show Sushi is the variety of sushi and sushi rolls they offer. The combos are reasonably priced, and the size of the sushi and sashimi is always generous, leaving me feeling satisfied. The appetizers and other offerings are also well prepared. At the end of the meal, you can enjoy a complimentary scoop of ice cream, available in either green tea or vanilla.

Unfortunately, they no longer offer AYCE, which I enjoyed in the past. Despite the price increase due to inflation, Show Sushi remains a value for the money and is competitive with other similar businesses. I'm happy to support local. I can't wait to...

This review started off as a 4 star review, initially. The place is super clean and organized. You can tell the owner's take pride having a spotless place. Our initial server was great. We decided to go with ACYE sushi. She was a little pushy at first, but all of our first orders came out quickly. Fish was fresh and portions are generous. Rolls I ordered were 8 pieces and the sushi eclipsed the rice underneath.

Things went downhill from there, unfortunately. Our server, decided not to tell us her shift was over. So, our next server was not exactly attentive. After our finishing our first round of food, we waited about 15 min before even seeing the server again. After making our 2 round of orders, 20 min passed. Now I could chalk this up to the sushi chefs making all the food fresh. We decided to ask another server walking by if he had seen our server and we've been waiting for the 2 round of food.

Apparently, he had forgotten to put the orders, while we were left wondering WTH is going on with the food. Luckily, the passerby server we asked, then became our new server and saved what could've been a disastrous lunch for 4 HANGRY people. Thank you last server guy for saving it.

I might be a while if I return to this...

This is always a dependable spot for your neighborhood sushi! Parking is great, usually there’s many spaces to park your car near the front. If you can’t find one, there’s way many more nearby in the plaza. Whenever I walked in, it’s been spacious with plenty of seats and tables. The cool air is on and the servers/chefs are attentive to greet you. Barely any wait and immediate walk through, which is surprising. Service has been pretty great the few times I’ve come by. Waiters/waitresses will check in on you or it’s easy to flag em down whenever you need to order.

Every time I’ve come here to catch a lunch with friends, it never failed to provide us a good platter of appetizers and nigiri combos. I personally like getting their 20pc nigiri combo and adding an appetizer like their spicy edamame, garlic scallops, or tako. The chefs give generous cuts of fish with an even rice ratio. They also have a good amount of wine, beers, and even soju. Good spot to get lunches and dinners! Complimentary ice cream at the end is the perfect cherry on top. The matcha is creamy and has a slight vanilla taste to...
