Amici Sushi

Lathrop roll was different but very good, first time I had rice fried ikea that. The Red Ocean was deliciois and fresh with the lemon. The dumplings were perfect. The calamari is the best that I have had, the breading was perfect. The house sauces are fantastic. Sean was very friendly and funny. Only negative which is the parking lot of that shopping center, not enough parking for all the places located there. Ppl double parking so plan accordingly.

I was in a time crunch when it came down to my daughter's dinner schedule. While I would have rather gone to a sushi spot closer to home, home was technically over an hour away. I did the next best thing and hopped on Yelp and stumbled across Amici Sushi. Ratings looked pretty good so I made the decision to dine. The establishment from outside is beautiful. The interior was just as easy on the eyes but it was limited in size. Our family of 3 was seated fairly quickly while there was an additional 4 parties already in the middle of dining. The menu is pretty big. Our family of 3 settled with:*California Roll [made with real crab]*Sushi Moriawase- 10pc chef's nigiri assortment. Comes with miso soup & salad.*Crunch & Munch- shrimp tempura & snow crab salad. Roll topped with Hokkaido Scallops*Tempura*Hot Tea*Iced TeaThe best things eaten that night was the sushi moriawase nigiri assortment. Sushi rice wasn't great but the cuts of seafood were plentiful. Everything else was a solid disappointment. The miso soup was salty, the California Roll was one of the worst CA rolls I had ever eaten. At $12 a roll, the roll clearly states real crab is used and what a waste of real crab it was- Crab portion was stingy, flavorless, and tough to eat because everything fell apart. The Crunch & Munch, again, had real snow crab salad included. The crab salad was flavorless, unappetizing, and did not justify the $21 price tag. 1 star because presentation was great. 1 star because staff was nice. Other than that, this sushi spot is greatly overpriced. I admit it, I am sooooo sooo spoiled in SJ and these kind of establishments just don't do it for me. HARD PASS.

The food was excellent, and the place was very clean. The service was awesome as well! While some rolls are on the pricey side, they are definitely worth trying. We've only visited this restaurant once, but we would gladly go back for more. It's conveniently located close to our home, right next to our favorite Chinese restaurant, Golden Bowl, and our preferred taqueria, Vallarta.

Great food, good service, nice and cozy, small but clean mom and pop place.Sushi Moriawase was oishi, can't get any traditional than that. Tempura was really good, thin and crispy batter. Gyoza was crispy and deliciously fried, and the sauce was amazing! Tuna and Salmon Kama is a must try if you love grilled fish. One of a few Japanese restaurants that serves Orion beer (originally from Okinawa), love it! I'm definitely coming back, and will recommend this place to friends and family. Sean and his wife (owner) were very friendly too!

First time here! Super fresh salmon nigiri. Great presentation & service! Bonus! Full Bar!

I'm a kind of tradition Japanese person. I used to go into the U.S. o-sushi restaurants in the 1980s and talk to the o-sushi preparer in Japanese to make sure he was licensed in Japan, to be sure about the safety of the food.Coming back to California, the flash freeze rule takes care of the safety, and usually changes the texture of the fish. I don't go many places to eat o-sushi because it isn't traditional.Today, the couple who own the house wanted to get sashimi. They couldn't agree on a place, so we ended up here. In ten years of living in the area, and several times in this parking lot, I'd never been to Amici Sushi.We were greeted quickly and felt welcome.Prices on the menu got our attention. We ended up with $132 something for three people. I guess that isn't awful when Jack in the Box can be $14 for one person.I ordered the sashimi/sushi lunch combo, which came with salada and miso soup. Price was not bad. They ordered a teriyaki/sashimi combo, poke salada, kimchi salada, spicy niku (meat) udon, and crab roll.Salada and miso soup arrived after a while. It wasn't very busy and we had the second table occupied out of three. The people who arrived with children ordered before we did, so we had to wait a bit. Salada seemed small.As well, the kimchi salada and the poke salada were small. The plate was huge which made it seem even less in size but they weren't big. I'm not a foodie, so my perception is different, I'm certain.The fish was surprisingly good. I've had sashimi in two other places in Manteca and Lathrop and they were barely adequate. Go to a traditional Japanese restaurant in Japan, New Jersey, or Gardena and you'll see what I mean. The sushi was unusual for me. I'm accustomed to rice on the bottom and fish on the top or maki zushi with seaweed around it. This was a roll without the seaweed. They fell apart but they had good flavor.It was a good experience, especially since we weren't their regular type of customer.

The sushi is pretty good for the central valley. It seems fresher than Raw Sushi Bistro, and the prices seem more fair. If you get the chirashi bowl, it comes with fresh wasabi which is a nice touch. The hamachi kama was a little dry. I ordered the pork tonkatsu and it had a nice crispy Panko crust. It was well cooked. Service is good, and the restaurant has a modern feel to it. Overall a very decent sushi restaurant

This place is absolutely amazing. Best in the valley in my opinion. Super clean restaurant. Owner is realy nice and personable. Very fast service. 5/5 Now lets get to the food. Sashimi is placed on top of a mountian of crushed ice so it remains cold. Fish is fresh and next texture. The sake melts in your mouth. The uni is a 10/10. Large portion and well worth your money. Comparable to fresh uni from japan.Definitely will be back very soon.

Love this place! The California rolls are made with real crab, which is a big deal to me. The udon and rolls were delish!! Very friendly staff, little short staffed but the waiter was on his game. It's a nice spot for a quick date or family outing. It's pricier than some local spots, but you absolutely get what you pay for. We will be back!

Awesome Japanese food here. Quality and flavor are impeccable. Sean is the impeccable host and owner. This is quality to the max. Beautiful surroundings in white granite and stainless steel with a Bose sound system. Again my meal was ten stars! Thanks Sean !
