"I wanted to like this place so badly. It is very cute and stylish with modern decor and upbeat music, but unfortunately this is about the only positive. It was recently opened, and based on the previously stellar reviews we had very high hopes! My friend and I went on a Thursday night at 6:00 just in time for Happy Hour, this is 3 7PM. Every time we go to Sushi, we always start with veggie tempura, and I must say from all the veggie tempura dishes I have consumed from countless places over the years, I was never more disappointed... My first bite was a big piece of sweet potato. It was cut very thick and thus it was cooked, hard and raw. My next bite was zucchini, which was also cut thick, but had the opposite effect, and can best be described as mushy. The broccoli was the only veggie that was boiled properly, but something went wrong with the dough... it was lifeless without crumbling, just so tender. To supplement injuries, the immersing sauce that came with it was completely tasteless. No saltiness or taste... basically brown water. Next we ordered a California Roll and a Philly Roll. The California Roll was just fine. It's hard to fool me, but I definitely had better. But the Philly was terrible, which I think is a pretty basic role. The salmon had a rough color on it and was hard to chew. It had a gummy consistency and did not taste fresh at all. After my first bite, I pulled a fish scale out of my mouth. I had lost my appetite pretty much, but I left anyway because I didn't want to waste food. We basically had to separate each piece and select the bits of bad-looking salmon. In the role there were also visible blue pieces of avocado. The service was good, but not the most attentive. I never got a refill on my water, the dishes were not deleted until after our departure, and the waiter didn't care how the food was. It also took 10 minutes to get the bill with our credit card. This was after I had stacked the dishes for them and had moved them to the edge of the table to make it obvious that we were ready to go. Overall no good experience. We had also planned to order a special role, but after we were disappointed in two basic roles, it was not important to take the risk."

"Suruki's is always a must stop for me when I am in the Vallejo area. This is definitely a rating that is impacted by the consistency and reliability of their food. Because I have gone here a lot it is also a reminder of home and warmth.I have gotten the sushi a few times, and some other bowls, but the star of this review is the beef don.Beef Don: 10/10This bowl is such an amazing combination. It's hot and just fills you with a warm and happy feeling especially on the winter. The egg and beef are so flavorful together with all the juices of the onions. The juice of everything together drips down onto the rice making it moist and adding extra flavor. The chicken don does not have the same rating because the chicken soaks up a lot of the juices and can be dry. Here, the is flavor everywhere, and I love it! A must try for sure! Before you know it you'll be craving it too!Unagi Don: 9/10The unagi Don is extremely good as well. The sauces that is on the unagi is amazing and makes the rice less plain.Spam masubi: 9/10I love spam masubi and will always get one here. It tastes like any other spam masubi and they make it fresh! I will caveat that sometimes the seaweed can be a bit soggy from the heat of the spam and rice.I've gotten the sushi here too and it's pretty decent. You can now do takeout by ordering on the phone, or by walking in and ordering at the register. They also have a few tables for dining inside. Everything is always done to order, so sometimes it takes some time.Overall, Suruki's will always have a special place in my heart. The staff are so nice, and it's a local restaurant that deserves a lot of credit!"
