Surprised to find a sushi place in the Felton strip mall. The food was okay, service was slow. They probably could use more help.

My wife and I first visited this restaurant when we thought that MaMas restaurant was still there. Is had changed. It was a big surprise how good it was and the price was very good. We have visited it a few times since then and...it has become one of our favorite sports. We are big sushi 🍣 eaters. Staff are very friendly and attentive. And not once did we feel hurried. Lots of good specials and a complete menu. Yummy 😋More

When Sushi San first opened, they certainly had some obstacles to overcome, not the least of which was being understaffed. However, now, a few years in, they have proven that they are up to the task. Yes, if it gets busy, you can expect to...wait a bit but, hey ... what's the hurry? The owners are such a pleasant couple and all the waitstaff we've interacted with have been warm and anxious to please. Plus, the food is some of the best Sushi we've had in Santa Cruz County ... and we've tried most of them! The location is in the Safeway shopping center and one can easily miss it unless you're looking for it. Plus, they are very 'family friendly' offering toys, coloring books, etc. to keep young minds/hands occupied.More

The food here is top notch. Service can be pretty slow when they are crowded so I suggest going during off times.

Hands down, the food was better than most Japanese restaurants in the area. However, this was largely overshadowed by inadequate table service. It was the epitome of slow food where it took 45 minutes to order and get drinks. The two plus hours of being...there were punctuated with lengthy absences of table service. The last entry, a sushi roll, arrived long after diners at the table had finished their meals. If you choose to eat dinner here, be prepared to wait or go during off hours.More

I’m obsessed with Vegan sushi and this place has a ton of options. All 56 pieces that I ate in 11 minutes was absolutely perfect. The waitress thought I ordered for two people. And she was right. I ate enough food for me and myself.

We have dined at Sushi San many times and it has always been fantastic! We went last night and had the King Kong Roll which was tempura fried and was delicious!! They have a great selection of rolls, some unusual and some traditional. We had...potstickers, edamame, Hamachi hand rolls, chicken teriyaki, yummy salad, miso and ebi. Friendly and efficient service. We also had the Organic hard cider which was refreshing. Highly recommend!More

I’ve been several times since they opened and I began to recognize a style similar to another favorite in Santa Cruz, except better (hard to imagine). And yes, there is a connection. Don’t miss this place!

Staff was friendly and had excellent suggestions for us as first time diners. We enjoyed the updated interior and the large fish tanks. Well be back!

We love Sushi San and go almost every week. It is great sushi, it has cool fish tanks and they are great with my daughter. This is her favorite place to eat as well. I have frequented all the Sushi in Santa Cruz area and...like this place the best.More

The atmosphere is very inviting. Sushi San is clean even after a whole Sunday of serving customers. The restaurant though relatively new has a large clientele so the word about the freshness and tastiness of the meals must be circulating. I ordered Tobiko Sunset which...was beautifully presented on a long narrow divided white dish with the wasabi and ginger in their own sections. It was beautiful with the quail egg on top. The taste equaled the look. I also ordered a Soft Shell Crab sushi roll. The taste and texture of Sushi San's version of my favorite sushi roll was absolutely first class.More
