Came here for lunch. Service was great. Our server was attentive. Food came out timely especially since we only had an hour for lunch. My friend and I both ordered a 2-item bento box. The price depends on what you select as your options. There are $7, $8 and $9 options. So if you want 2 items, it could be as high as $18. If you want 3 items, it could be $27. Portion sizes were decent. I ordered the tonkatsu and veggie tempura. They were both good. Not greasy at all. They didn't over-sauce anything. Soup came out hot. Salad was good. Everything was just as I'd like it. Restaurant was clean. There was a burning smell at some point during lunch and they needed to keep the door open. Hey, sometimes you make mistakes and that's okay. I'd come back. Need to try sashimi and the sushi rolls next time.

Used to order delivery frequently during pandemic and sushi was always top quality. But the fish is just average quality now. Service is atrocious - had to keep repeating our order due to language issues. My stomach now hurts. In sum: stick to takeout or delivery only!

Based on several reviews, I was looking forward to trying Ha-La Sushi out and tried takeout on a weekend evening. The staff were friendly and they were pretty efficient as well. With regards to the food though, it was unfortunately not the best experience. On the positive side, the portion sizes were pretty good given the relatively higher price point, and the food was nicely presented. There were, however, a number of ways in which the food could have been better from our perspective:- The fried oysters were overcooked/slightly burnt and both the oysters and shrimp tempura tasted as if they were cooked in old oil- The ebi, albacore and unagi nigiri had a good fish-to-rice ratio but the fish didn't seem that fresh tasting- The Lazy Roll's scallop slices that topped the rest of the roll had an odd texture to them, although the sauces on top were good- The Super California roll had slices of salmon on top of a California roll, and the salmon texture and taste also seemed off- The negihama roll was ok and again, the hamachi just did not taste fresh or flavorful- The combination dinner included a generous portion of iceberg lettuce and creamy ginger dressing, and the chicken teriyaki was cooked pretty well, although the sauce was a bit sweetOverall, the takeout meal seemed to miss the mark in several ways and hope this was just an off night for them in terms of the quality of product.

Have been told by other people to avoid getting food from this spot. Didnt let that stop me from checking it out for myself. We ordered to go for the office as an early birthday celebration so we made a pretty big order. Food was done in a good amount of time. Most of us ordered the 3 item bento box. We were all pleasantly surprised at how good everything was. I got the bento box with cali roll, chicken teriyaki and veggie tempura. Everything was pretty good. Even the miso soup and the house salad. Would definitely get food here again in the future.

Review is for Doordash Order:I was craving a lighter lunch today after indulging on donuts for breakfast. The morning was a bit hectic and a pick-me-up was called for! Sushi sounded like a great option and there are no shortage of options in my neighborhood. I decided to try Ha-La Sushi in nearby Alamo for a change. I ordered the Nigiri Deluxe and was surprised at the relatively low price of $19 for 7-piece nigiri, 6 Cali Rolls, salad, and miso soup. Remember this is Alamo, where the median home price is over $2 million, LOL. The Cali Rolls were very good - loosely packed, seasoned rice, and very soft fillings. The nigiri sushi were huge but taste-wise fell a little short. The rice was a bit too densely packed and there was not enough vinegar. Fish toppings were okay - shrimp was a bit on the firm side while the tuna and salmon toppings were good. I did like the miso soup - thick, creamy and loaded with seaweed and tofu.Overall 3 stars. I'll probably stay a bit more local for my Nigiri fix, even though prices seem higher in places like Yayumi and Senro.

My mom and I used to have lunch at Ha-La Sushi almost every week on Thursday for quite a long time and it was always one of the highlights of the week. Everyone that works there was always so incredibly nice and patient with mom, who was in the early stages of dementia at the time. They were always happy to see us and, of course, we were always happy to see them. The cuisine is wonderful at Ha-La. It's very tasty and made with love, and it will always be my favorite place to go for lunch in Alamo, but the real magic at Ha-La Sushi is the very sweet people that work there.

If you like so-so sushi, this is your place. We were underwhelmed at best. Considering the prices, we expected larger portions and much better flavors/quality. Our take out rolls and nigiri were no better than what you would find at an average grocery store. The TUNA was so unnaturally red that we didn't eat it. So, question where they are sourcing their fish before placing an order.

Worse sushi ever!!! We got take out and the color of the raw fish looked off. The tuna was very veiny and they didn't remove the blood line on my red snapper. My sushi rice was very stale and our soft shell crab tasted like it had been out of the freezer. We also arrived on time to make sure that the crab would be at least warm. Won't ever be coming back here again.
