Happy's Sushi - Mira Mesa

They make excellent udon. The rolls are currently decently priced, but if they plan to raise their price, as their sign implies, it will be too rich for my blood. Regardless, the staff is friendly and attentive, parking is free and plentiful, and there's two tea shops in the same parking lot of you want dessert.

Such a hidden gem! Went here for date night close to home and was pleasantly surprised. The sushi chef and co-owner Kim is friendly, knowledgeable, and creative in his sushi offerings. The fish is hands down fresh, the service is fast and friendly, the ambiance is clean and newly remodeled from the last owners and the prices are fair. My hubby and I will be back soon! I want to add... they are currently in a soft opening, which means they are currently working out the kinks in terms of training service staff and figuring out what they want in thier final menu, so I urge you to have an open mind and have patience when trying them out until thier official opening next month!

Why do I give a sushi place with run of the mill sushi 4 stars? Value. Many more expensive Japanese restaurants have the same quality fish but they jack up the price because they have some self-important ambience. There are very few sushi places out there where you can get quality fish that is actually worth the price, (Sushi ota). However for my non-special occasions, or when I simply feel like sushi on a weeknight , I go to happy sushi and get a good meal for a good price.

I was literally SHOCKED at the portion size of the sashimi! $19.99 seems like a pretty average price for 12 pc, but each piece was literally 3-4 times the size I have seen anywhere else. It also came with miso soup, a salad, and steamed rice. My wife's house noodle soup was delicious. The large 7" bowl was full to the brim and loaded with meat and veggies. All in all, Happy Sushi lives all to its name and provides diners with exceptional value and great service.
