I've been to Sei Sushi only once and that was years ago! The look of the restaurant seems to have stayed the same and prices have definitely gone up, however, I think the prices on their rolls and entrees are pretty firm. Most of their rolls are all under $15, which is a pretty good price in my opinion! We got shishito peppers, uni and scallop shooters, and a variety of nigiris. The sauce for the shishito peppers was addicting! I could taste lemon and some ponzu sauce in the uni and scallop shooter. It had some black pepper cracked on top, and it was pretty flavorful! My nigiri favorites were definitely the yellowtail belly, truffle salmon, and uni. Their uni is sweet and creamy! I like that they also have chopped wasabi as I love it more than the regular paste they usually hand out. Service was busy but they work quick for an early weekend dinner. I would say this is the best sushi option for the La Mesa/ Grossmont area overall!

I just recently tried Sei Sushi for the very first time, I have to say I think their rolls are imaginative and their prices are fair. I had the Salmon and Garfunkel, the Salmon was generous and I loved the little micro-onion rings and jalapeno. I also ordered the Flaming Sake [yes, I love Salmon.They have a flair with the special details like finely minced onion and added masago [which I do love]. Wow, their spicy mayo IS spicy while so many other places are quite bland-mayo with no real kick. My only suggestion would be to feature the next size up 16/20s for the tempura shrimp used in the rolls. The smaller size is too small and it just seems a bit skimpy 21/25s and they have little flavor. Another note: a lot [most all] of the rolls here have krab. Their krab mix is very good, but sometimes it would be nice to have yellowtail or scallop instead of Krab which has wheat in it.The slightly sweet citrus sauce was nice. Yes, I'll definitely be back to Sei and really like to support small businesses. I think this will be my go-to.

Not bad! For being one of many forgettably nondescript casual sushi restaurants in one of many forgettably nondescript strip malls, I enjoyed Sei Sushi! It has some quirky character like many of them often do with personal artistic nuances in decor--I always appreciate them even if I'm clueless to what they represent. Service was also great. When it comes to food quality... it's everything I'm looking for. Then again, I'm your everyday Joe Schmo chubby American comfort foodie. I love my sushi bastardized. I say yes to decadence, yes to cream cheese, jalapeños, tempura, and ironic toppings. So if that helps you out, Sei Sushi isn't a bad place to wander.Sushi is the new pizza and who doesn't love it?

Nice sushi place that I've never noticed before! This place is close to my house and my roommate said she really enjoyed it so we decided to stop here quick before Christmas shopping.The service was pretty quick and it wasn't too crowded on a Wednesday night. We put in our order quick of the gyoza and Katsu bowl and they were out to us in less than 5 minutes.Both were Very tasty and hot! Gyoza were nice and savory with the sauce being just salty enough but not too much. The chicken katsu was very good, well breaded, moist, and the sauce was very, very delicious. She asked for extra to pour over her bowl to get down to the rice too.Overall a great place that I'll have to come back to and try more items!!

I'm giving it a two because I have been coming here since 2015 and the service and quality of food has historically been excellent. We decided to come here today for lunch and everything looked as usual; the ambiance was great. The server, gave us one menu and when we asked for 2, she said that it's customary to do 1 menu per 2 people, and threw the second menu at me. I asked her if the owner was around, and she stated that he no longer comes around. I asked for the other lady, who has been working there for many years and who appears to be at the very least, a manager, and the server stiffened up. She shared that she works most day but at different times. When she realized that I knew the owner and that I was expecting to come back to talk to the other lady, she tried to correct her behavior. By then, she had already thrown the water glasses and menu at us so there wasn't any coming back from it. Now, the food. We decided not to leave because the food is usually good. No ladies and gents. The food was bad. The lemons from the lemon cilantro roll were bad. The fish wasn't fresh and had an odd flavor. The only one that was good was the Grossmont roll, but I suspect that it's because it was fried so it masked the flavor. The miso soup was water with chunks of tofu. God awful. To be fair, and the only saving grace, is that out of literal hundreds of times I have been here, this is my only bad experience with the food. But the bad food combined with the bad service, well that is what brought me here. I hope the owner reads the review and makes the necessary adjustments.

Stopped by to eat after work, at a bit after 5:00pm.When I entered I was greeted by staff behind the bar area.There were at least 4 other tables occupied.A bit of dark, cold basement vibe. The seating is still a tad sparse but enough to hold a good number of diners. Anime was playing on one tv screen and the other two had sports on. I went ahead to sit at the bar and was shown the QR code menu. Not a fan of these code menus and I work with the elderly and these don't work for them. Restaurants should offer both options to guests -deducted one star for that.I ordered a Flaming Sake roll, which arrived at the reasonable time.While I ate, a number of guests came in for takeaway orders. I did bite into a few seeds on the lemon slices that are in the roll but sushi was nevertheless delicious and filling.The server checked-up on me to see how I was doing and was really good about asking me if I needed anything right after I took my last bite. The delivered the bill and made the card charge fairly quickly and greeted me goodbye as I left.The owners of Sei and R&B Tea a few doors down are the same and they offer a reciprocal discount from your order if you bring in a receipt from either place. The restaurant is located at the same lot as Aldis and 24hour Fitness so parking is not an issue at all.Happy to find a decent sushi place when I don't feel like trudging up to the Convoy area.

I can't believe I've never done an official review of this place because it's been my go-to sushi place for so many years. They're great for takeout as well as a dining in with the family. Great service and atmosphere (they have a bunch of large TVs). It's affordable AND tasty!

We put in a sizable order for take out. It was ready on time. Packaged nicely for how much we had ordered for a group of five and included plenty of wasabi, ginger and chopsticks. Everything tasted wonderful!

Atmosphere: we lived here a long time ago and this used to be our regular spot. After being away for a while the menu drastically changed. The interior was about the same, comfortable, clean and playing K-Pop. I had missed the atmosphere. Food: Menu was different and not for the better. I am not a seafood fan but in the past they had more options like fried rice. I had the bulgogi bowl and it was meh...I may have been slightly disappointed. I regretted not getting the Katsu bowl. Service: Excellent service, very friendly.Overall: Still good but not as good as I remember.
