Started of with a variety of appetizers to sample the cuisine as well as some sushi and tempura. All was great value for the price and the Tempura shrimp blew us away for how light and good it was. We will be back as a regular place to go to, even if it is over 15 miles from us.

Great Food!

Best Sushi in Town! My wife and I stumbled upon this hidden gem right in our own back yard. Ok service but very good food especially the Dragon rolls and grilled shrimp.

First time here, I really like this place. I started off with the mushroom soup, to die for! I'm ordering one for the road. Oh, my, my, this is a game changer for me. I can't remember the last time sushi smelled so Delicious, Fresh, Outstanding. Why have I never been here? It's a quiet Friday night a little surprised it's not as busy as other near by restaurants. I can't wait t come back. 5**** tonight.

The waiters at Sushishima were extremely polite and helpful. They were accustomed to orders from celiacs and had many choices of gluten-free meals. Also, they were happy to alter my family's and mine's dishes. I had the Grilled Salmon which was seasoned exactly the way I like. It came with a perfectly portioned rice cake and some vegetables. It was a plus that they had gluten-free soy sauce available. My only complaint was the decor, which was not very authentic for a Japanese restaurant. And, the booth I was sitting at had a rip in it's fabric.

This place is by far the ABSOLUTE BEST IN TOWN. The sushi is way above average and we've tried them all. If you ask any of the chefs to make you thier choice, be ready to be blown away..........but, if you just order the Koni salad and the baked salmon off the appetizer menu then you have yourself a meal that I would put against any 5 star resturaunt anywhere. Also, the chicken, beef or shrimp teriyaki is amazing! The noodles are full of flavor and aren't like any you've ever tried. Hope this helps someone have a awesome meal! Oh, try the rock n roll!

Excellent meal: Fatty Tuna flown in from Japan. Melt in your mouth. Expensive for San Antonio but it's the real deal. Amazing tempura: we tried shrimp, scallops and vegetables. Tempura broccoli! Mom approved! Plus a Paradise Roll, which is subjective but GOOD. Solid wine list. Friendly waitstaff. Chef / Owner has direct connection to Japan. Try it!

We love it!. Love, love, love this restaurant! Great presentation, amazing food. My husband (who's usually sushi averse) actually requests to go here. It's a great family place, the owner is always there and makes you feel welcome.

The only downside is that it's tucked away, and many might miss it. Great lunch menu, and from 3-6, everything is half off menu prices.

The happy hour special makes it really affordable. I thought the sushi was tasty and the server was really polite and helpful. The sushi bar got a little backed up because happy hour was busy, but the server kept checking on us and giving us updates, which I appreciated. The sushi was fresh and worth the wait. I'll be back.

Their sushi is fresh and made very well. I got the crazy couple roll and their seaweed salad. Both were just delicious. My husband got the beef hibachi dinner and he was in heaven! We went during happy hour and everything was half off!! Even their sushi, which is really fresh! Idk how long that deal will last, but that is an AWESOME deal!! We love this plc.

Happy Hour Excitement!. Sushishima was a great place with and amazing happy hour. I went with my Sushi Lovers Meet up group. I deducted (1) star because they were slow. It took over an hour to get the food only after we prompted the waitress to bring the yummy goodness over. I deducted (1) star because they forced you to share plates. No bueno. Yes the plates were gynormous but with all the negative space left for presentation it made your tummy feel empty. Shove all my food on one plate I'm ok with that. Other than that good happy hour prices. Good location

Great happy hour! They have half off everything on the menu including alcohol from 3-6 7 days a week. Not sure how long that will last but the food was delicious and the staff was friendly and attentive. Will be back soon!

This was an amazing experience. We made reservations and visited this restaurant on a spur of the moment decision and it was incredible. They are doing the most to make sure everyone stays socially distanced and safe, we had zero wait time with our reservations. Everyone on the staff was super friendly and so nice. The servers were extremely helpful and informative when asked for opinions or preferences of their menu items. We loved everything we were served here, from the appetizers to the mackeral & tuna to the boat full of sushi. It was a very nice, calm, and peaceful environment to enjoy a phenomenal meal. We will definitely make this a new regular place for date nights!

So this was my second time coming to the 1604 location and i invited my family to come out and try it. It was really good. I did not catch the guy that was helping us and he recommended some good stuff such as the Hibachi roll and the Valentine roll along with The Hibachi vegetable dish which my cousin had and she said it was really good. We also tried the mushroom soup which is really good. Love the broth. I had the hibachi roll and the Valentine roll which had raw sushi on them both.( tuna, salmon& escolar fish) and he came out with this sauce which had soy sauce, ponzu, lemon juice and very thin slices of jalapenos. It was very good and not to spicy. We will be back and plus its 20% off between 3pm & 6pm. Good service and the food is fresh and comes out looking amazing. I forgot to take the picture of the soup.

Oh my god. This is my new go to for sushi. They got happy hour 3-6 for rolls an some other items. When we went it was buy 2 rolls get the third free. Fast service even though the were busy an the service was awesome. Still kinda new to the whole sushi thing but the way our server Steve explained everything I kinda pigged out as you can see and I tried some items I wouldn't have before. Everything was delicious. Flavor wasn't all, the textures were wonderful. Been to a couple of other sushi places in SA, not going to slam them, Sushishima is top notch on flavor, presentation, and price. I live less than 10 miles away and the deliver. WOOT!!!!!!!

Wow! This place is such an amazing spot for dinner. So yummy! From the sake to the sushi. The service is amazing, ask for Trey, he’s one of the best - and we’ve been here many many times.

We came here for lunch today (about 1145) and we're pleasantly surprised to find the place pretty quiet. The interior is beautiful and the service was great (we had Ms. Janie - very friendly and seemed to know alot about the various rolls and dishes!) We had a Gyoza appetizer, which was standard-fare. However, the sashimi/nigiri lunch plate was absolutely amazing. To preface this - we've had sushi in California and Alaska, and had, frankly, been turned off of the idea of fish by the amount of "fishiness" that was present in the dishes we'd had previously. Nevertheless, I went full-send with my order and was blown away. Salmon, tuna, shrimp, and escobar all melted in my mouth like melted caramel. The salmon had just a hint of that fish-taste, but that was the worst offender of the bunch. Everything was delectable. We're honestly now psyched to come back and just start trying various orders of fish. For dessert, we had the tempura banana cheesecake. And it tastes about how you would expect a good banana cheesecake fried in tempura to taste (which is, to say, really good!). There's also a side of macha ice cream on the side, that I thought was really good as well. To top everything off for us, there was also a military discount (which we like to return to our host/hostess as an addition to their normal tip). We will definitely be back, hope to see you here!

I wanna give this place a 5. Food was excellent. Variety incredible. Wait staff friendly and definitely knowledgeable. But when I brought it up to staff that my roll was missing a key ingredient listed in the menu, despite the wait staff seeing what I what I was seeing, the manager told my waiter to tell me “it’s just really thin but it’s in there”. I know my fish. I know what what missing but cool, don’t even look, despite me dissecting it. My other order was also missing massago but at that point I gave up so if u eat here check your order just sayin 🙄

Very good food, clean restaurant, great service, generous portions. Lots of choices that should satisfy anyone looking for sushi. The only ding on the place is that the prices are very high (similar in price to an all you can eat sushi restaurant).

This restaurant was amazing and definitely the best sushi restaurant I have been to in SA so far. I got the King's Plate which came with many rarer fish species outside of the usual salmon, tuna, & white fish. The velvet roll that came with it was spicey and flavorful and the presentation was beautiful. Everything was was very fresh and I was impressed to see such quality here in SA. Do not skip out on the dessert! This is the first time I have ever had green tea cheesecake and it was amazing!!! As was the green tea ice cream. Last but not least our waiter Carl was great. He knew the menu and made several recommendations that we loved. Go for their happy hour from 3-7 every day and you will get 20% off almost everything! My wife and I will definitely be coming back!

What can we say about this place?! I'll tell you One thing, it's Not enough! We've come here for years and we feel like family. Service is Impeccable and sushi is even better ..if that's possible. Shout out to Jesus...he changes your restaurant experience! Music, service, food and atmosphere....TOP-NOTCH...largely due to Jesus; however, the staff and chefs are Incredible! Thank you for making our weeks better with every visit. Cheers! 💕

Sat at the bar and were helped right away. The sushi chef was very friendly. He talked us into trying the chef’s choice roll. He asked us if there was anything off limits. We aren’t fans of sauce on top of our rolls. He whipped up some delicious roll that was topped with lemon zest. Omg I want one right now just typing this up! Wow!! It was soooo good! The food was beautiful and came out quickly. The service was top notch. We wish we lived closer so we could come back. You definitely have to try this place out.
