Neighborhood "joint" literally. Sushi bar with heavy reggae vibes. Rasta colors adorn the establishment. Bob Marley watches you eat from every wall and the reggae beat fills the room. Surprisingly though sushi and reggae works. The place is constantly busy lunch or dinner and all the rolls have a reggae theme. Too many sushi roll choices. But you can find one you'll like. I recommend the yellowtail and salmon belly nigiri and the spam fried rice reminds me of my own.

I really enjoy Sushi Diner 2. The reggae music vibe is an interesting mix with insanely fresh sushi, but Sushi Diner does it well. Clean and minimalistic seating options, but always busy. The sushi rolls are unique, fresh, flavorful, and a great serving size for price. I wish they sold their cold sake by the bottle but all in all a solid meal and experience every time.

Sushi diner 2 is my go to sushi spot! I must say, it's always an exceptional experience! The sushi is absolutely delicious, with each piece tasting fresh and perfectly prepared. The variety was impressive, and I found myself savoring every bite. Not only was the food top-notch, but the prices were also incredibly affordable. I was pleasantly surprised at how reasonably priced everything was, especially considering the high quality of the sushi. I recommend getting different rolls and sharing them, so that you get to try a little bit over everything. The ambience of the restaurant was adorable and cozy. The decor was charming, and the overall vibe was just great. It felt like a perfect spot for both casual dining and special occasions. As for the service, it was outstanding. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Their genuine hospitality added to the overall wonderful experience. I highly recommend Sushi diner 2 for anyone looking for delicious sushi, great prices, and a delightful dining atmosphere.

Called it in for some sushi and Bridgerton! We called ahead and it took around an hour. That's fine by me. When I got there - they had a single window for take out orders and my order was really close to being done. No worries at all. We enjoyed the baked mussel and the fried calamari. I can't remember what I had ordered, but I think some rolls had a ton of rice - but that's fine. I still enjoyed the food and it's relatively on the the cheaper side but portions are good. Not bad and I would suggest getting there early or calling ahead!

Fresh and affordable sushi! We ordered take out and our food was ready upon arrival. It does take a while to get your food when it's busy, but it's tough to beat their pricing at another sushi place. The rolls were huge and they don't skimp out on ingredients. I enjoyed my rolls and would come here again for take out. It's unfortunate that they close their Linda vista location. Also, the theme of the restaurant is very laidback and cool.
