The only issue with this place is the parking issue.
If you live nearby enough to walk, or if you go with a friend in a car (and your friend is game enough to keep the car idle while you run in), you'll be rewarded with a giant sushi roll for under $10 each (incl tax etc) thats so thick you can barely fit it into your mouth in one piece.
Mr Bong is super friendly, always give him a hello! -

There is always a line of people getting take-out when I go to Sushi Bong. People really seem to love this place, but I feel like it must be more for the quantity than the quality...? I find the fish just okay; it's never particularly fresh and sometimes my sushi/sashimi looks like a questionable end piece of the fish. But the portions are quite large. I always end up over-ordering because I think to myself, "one roll can't be enough for one person" but yep, it always is. All the rolls I've ordered are eight large pieces each. I do particularly like their spider rolls (both quantity AND quality) and the unagi roll. I think the way to go at Sushi Bong is to order rolls and not sushi/sashimi pieces.
There is no room for seating inside Sushi Bong. Well there are two or three tables, but they are always full and you will never get to sit down, so plan on taking it to go! -

Location is small and better for take-out there are only a couple of tables for dine-in.
Sushi is average not amazing but I rather go to other places if I want something more authentic and has more space for dine-in. -

There are subtle Korean touches to this Korean run sushi place that take me back to the motherland. First, kleenex instead of napkins. Actually, kleenex over a roll of toilet paper on the table means this is a class joint. In Korea, tissue is tissue. Everything is "hyoo gee". If it sops up goop on your mouth, it's good enough.
Second water is "self". In Korea "self" or "sell puh" means simply self serve. Grab a cup. Pour your own water.
Me and my date shared the small sushi platter. $23 with tax. Adequate. I guess this place is better for take out. Service is a little brusque. No a/c in the place. -

I live right above this restaurant and have been coming here for 3 years :). In fact, I even live on the same floor as the owner!
Needless to say, their sushi aren't authentic, but it's super delicious and the maki are huge. Not a great spot for dine-in, but it's great for take out.
Personally, the udon noodle combo and spicy tuna maki is my favorite :) -

I live in the building right across from this small gem. This place is really great and became really popular due to their famous "Dynamite Roll" which is given in huge portions (the size of one piece can barely fit in your mouth) in cheap prices.
Anyways, I have been eating here for almost 4 years now and I am never disappointed with their speed of service and quantity. Every time I order I get Dynamite Roll, Chirashi (which is essentially Sashimi on a bed of rice), Spider Roll, and Sushi Bong Special. Their sushi is not the BEST sushi but it is still very tasty and given in big portions. Their Dynamite Roll is huge and very cheap too! One word of suggestion however, there is very limited seating (the place is the equivalent to the size of a study room) and there is only three or four tables to sit at so it is best to order take-out and eat elsewhere.
If you are looking for quick sushi fix and don't want to spend $15 on a small california roll or a bento box, make sure you check this place out. The sushi here is quick, fantastic and most importantly, CHEAP. Make sure you order the dynamite roll and Chirashi as their portions are gigantic and will actually get you full without emptying your wallets! If you are around this area at all, TRY IT OUT! It's no place to bring a date but it's a nice small comfy sushi location that locals all know about. -

This place is SMALL! Nothing in the previous reviews prepared me for this hahha. Originally we opted to stay and eat but realized.. we just wanted to leave. The take out was very fast and cheap and the rolls of course were huge!
I guess it's great for the people who live in this area, if not you can always eat in the car ride home (like I did haha) -

Fastest take out ever.
I went in, ordered my food, and in 5 minutes, they had it ready for us. I was quite pleased. :) -

Your typical family run sushi place. Small, large portions for a cheap price, quality is meh. Their rolls are gigantic and their tempura roll is surprisingly tasty. Don't go for their Udon special, not recommended.
There are only seats for 6 people in this tiny join. one two person table directly in front of the door, and one four seater beside the door. Pick your poison if you get lucky or order take out, which is what most ppl do. -
Review from Rana L.
I couldn't wait to try this place as many ppl have asked if I've been b4. I was most impressed w/ the size of the rolls...it was ENORMOUS :D The price isn't bad either!
I believe parking is a problem...they say there's a parking garage somewhere but that is honestly a little myth. PLUS theres hardly any seats in there... one table for 6 and another for 3. that's about it. You're better off ordering takeout & picking it up. But wow... great rolls esp the spider roll :DListed in: Asian Eats Reviews, Taste of Japan

I love Sushi Bong and think they make one of the best Sushis in Town, even my visiting Japanese friend agreed after we've been to Sushi Kaji - which is supposed to be the best Sushi.
Sushi Bong is a small place mainly for take out, there is no ambiance or atmosphere or fancy wooden boats to serve sushi. However sushi themselves are huge, fresh and tasty. The prices are really good too.
I would suggest to always go for their special rolls, my ranking of my favorite rolls over there:
-Rainbow
-Moon River
-Hard Rock
-Beef
-Spider -

I go to this place on a regular basis. Parking is free at the basement of the condo attached to this unit. Love the price of dynamite rolls and the size of the rolls. Chirashi is also good in portion & quality as well. They are sometimes more accomodating by customizing the chirashi toppings for ya. Just remember to ask for more salmon vs tuna...etc...
Definitely not a sit-down restaurant as the space is limited but this place is more about good price and speedy service. -

There are two things I LOVE about Sushi Bong. First is the price, second is the Spider Rolls, which by the way are gigantic full of crunchy goodness paired with creamy fresh avocado, then rolled in sesame seeds. They have set a new bar for Spider Rolls that makes it difficult for me to eat it anywhere else (I've tried and only been disappointed).
My second favourite item is the Seafood Udon noodles. The mussels and shrimp are always fresh, the broth is rich in flavour yet low in grease, and the noodles have a delightful chewiness to them.
That said, you will not go to Sushi Bong looking for great atmosphere or a fine dining experience. This is not the place to impress your first date. The restaurant is literally wedged into the corner of a condo plaza. Most of the patrons are take-out regulars and there is a constant traffic of people which can make it chilly in the winter. BUT, if you are looking for a reliable bang for your buck, this is a great deal! My wallet, tummy and mouth are always happy after a visit to Sushi Bong. -

Take Sushi Bong for what it is. It's a small little family run sushi place who probably does 80% takeout. They do inexpensive sushi that's, well, inexpensive. The sushi selection is pretty small, but that do give you a fair bit for under $10. At under $10 and $6 respectively, their Dynamite and Spider rolls are also a pretty good deal.
If you are looking for super fresh high end fish or quality over quantity, go elsewhere. -

EEEH. Food has gone downhill. Portions are still large, but everything falls apart.

Review from Elvis A.

I used to live in the building above this gem and got hooked onto it. They value proposition it was hard to beat. Now if I am in the area I make it a point to grab some rolls from their. Their Dynamite and Rainbow Rolls are a great value IMO. Now for the bad part they only accept cash yes not even interac what kind of place does that. The sitting area is tiny with I think 2 tables and the rest bar like area. I would recommend it for take out and not eating in. The Bong Sashimi is good if you are dining alone. If you are looking for ultimate value combo I suggest getting sashimi from Taro and Pairing them with the rolls from here. I guess my review is a bit biased as we used to get freebees as the owner knew my friends and always treated us well.

This is a good place to go if you live at the condos nearby because parking is limited, and people's cars are all over the place waiting. I got the take-out option. We ordered the spicy salmon roll, spider roll, dynamite roll and sushi combo B and it was very filling for all of us. The price is decent and it was very filling even though we ordred very little. The sushi was fresh and big. I recommend.

This place has the best Spicy Salmon Sushi Roll ever, the price aint shabby either. The only downside like everyone says is that the place is kind of small.

Sushi Bong is a small place where usually people would go for take outs. I personally go there for their dynamite roll. Its quite filling and not expensive at all. Although it doesnt seems to be fresh and pre-made but its none the less delicious.
