I’m feeling pretty silly for waiting this long to try Lucky Sushi. I heard or read something negative years ago, and stupidly avoided them ever since.
After finally grabbing a take out order for the family tonight, the first word that comes to mind is OUTSTANDING!!!
I generally judge sushi joints by their basic rolls. The “dynamite” or “Godzilla” or “lalapalooza” type rolls tend to be so saucy and flavorful that the delicate balance of subtle flavor sushi is famous for gets lost.
Lucky Sushi NAILS the basics. We had California, spicy tuna, salmon avocado, and shrimp tempura rolls (I’d normally get more raw fish, but I still haven’t started my kids on it). Each roll was expertly constructed and hit the desired flavor profile on all cylinders.
We also got gyoza and edamame. The gyoza was notable because the filling was more of a potpourri of discernible ingredients than the globs of meat-stuff many sushi places dish out.

The rice was nice and sticky, the fish was super fresh, and the tastes were all unique. After I finished, the chef prepared a little desert of some mochi and orange. It was really nice, I wish I had taken a photo of it. They also had a great drink selection.
If you want quality sushi with great...
