Sushi Land — Restaurant in La Puente

Great local sushi spot with stone decent pricing!

Seating is very limited and the menu gives off a bit of a dated feel but you really can't argue the classics when they're done well.

Sushi rice had just a bit of tang and was light and fluffy.

Dishes were presented very well and our server was thoughtful and cautious enough to make sure our table wasn't overflowing. We ordered about 6 items and by the 3rd plate things were crowding up.

Blue crab avocado roll ($9) - A little heavy on the Japanese mayo and rice but it made for a great presentation on the plate it was on.

Tempura mixed ($9) - 3 pieces of shrimp and 3 pieces of veggies. I'm on the fence with this one since I really enjoyed the presentation but felt like the batter on the shrimp was heavy and the veggies were mostly extra starchy items.

Mini spicy tuna bowl ($9) - This was a pleasant favorite! Just the right amount of heat and a decent amount of tuna over that delicious sushi rice. The first couple of bites where the cold tuna contradicts the warm rice was like being able to eat that feeling of walking on the warm sand and letting the chilly ocean water cool you off.

Amberjack/Hamachi Tuna ($5/piece) - This was interestingly a lighter flavor than what we were familiar with. The cut was thin but blanketed the rice with just a small swipe of sauce and a dab of yuzu paste on top. Playing perfectly well with the tangy rice but also all being a star of the bite while being clean.

Grilled Tuna Belly ($12) - This was the star of the table. Lightly grilled with a bit of crispy edges, seasoned and topped with garlic and micro greens and paired with a dipping sauce on the side to choose how heavy or light you prefer to dip.

Tempura Ice cream ($7) - Couldn't leave our first visit without trying a dessert item. Classic fried ice cream that is wrapped with pound cake and rolled in their delicious tempura batter. Saving room for this is a must if you grew up demolishing these in the early 2000s.

Hidden gems are great to find and it feels like this place has a lot of classics that give you a homey feel where you don't know where to start. Just dive in and make sure you mark off the ones you've tried because there are a good amount of dishes that were of value and quality here.

The best suggestion is to focus on the sushi and always check...

Would not recommend to any friends or family! I normally don’t leave bad reviews but I was pretty disappointed in this sushi place. We all ordered waters and the smell from the cups was so terrible, it smelled like the glasses had never been cleaned. I also ordered a miso soup which tasted a little off but the seaweed was so ridiculously chewy that I couldn’t break it apart and swallow. Lastly, I ordered a crunchy roll and my roll had so many pieces of hard, uncooked rice, I was scared I was going to chip a tooth! I really couldn’t believe how many pieces of uncooked rice were in my roll and I have never seen that in my several years of eating sushi. I’ve gotten way better sushi from somehow cheaper places than Sushi land, so I would definitely recommend skipping this place and going somewhere with...

Sushiland was an unexpected surprise. It is truly a hidden gem. A Latino sushi chef and woman sushi chef (sorry didn't get their names) working it making delicious sushi and sashimi. The prices are very reasonable. They should be charging more for the quality of product they are using. The sashimi so fresh... I know it's summer time but I got the yosenabe udon seafood soup. It's was very delicious I tasted a hint of yuzu..it was super hot (temperature 🔥 🥵) and I couldn't finish all. The biggest deals are their happy hour menu $5 mixed tempura (shrimp and vegetables) so good and spicy tuna roll. Not your typical Sriracha mayo mix...there was a different type of spicy. So good and I think that was $5 too.Try to make it out to this amazing hole in the wall. It will be...
