Sushi Factory in College Area serves an all-you-can-eat sushi format and a la carte rolls from 5420 El Cajon Blvd, San Diego 92115, directly across the street from SDSU's eastern campus perimeter. The AYCE option runs around $37 per adult and includes nigiri, creative rolls, baked rolls, deep-fried rolls, appetizers, and a selection of milk teas — a price point that has made the restaurant a default for SDSU group dinners. The College Area's coffee-and-study culture feeds the block around Sushi Factory, and Ultreya Coffee and Tea on the same stretch of El Cajon Blvd anchors the cafe side of the student corridor. The a la carte menu splits into traditional nigiri (tuna, salmon, yellowtail, albacore), hand rolls, no-rice rolls wrapped in soy paper, tempura rolls, and baked specialty rolls, with a lunch-special tier from opening until midafternoon and a happy-hour tier running three to seven in the evening. San Diego sushi at is the primary city-level query this restaurant answers, and its El Cajon Blvd address — within walking distance of SDSU — captures the restaurants near SDSU and food near SDSU traffic that flows along the boulevard. The ramen program runs a 24-hour pork-and-chicken-bone broth topped with braised pork belly, a soft-boiled egg, bean sprouts, mushroom, and scallion, adding a San Diego ramen entry to a menu otherwise dominated by raw fish. Yaki udon, yakisoba, and fried-rice plates cover the cooked-noodle and rice-bowl categories, and appetizers including takoyaki (octopus fritters), spicy garlic edamame, and baked mussels give the happy-hour menu enough range to function as a standalone meal. A health-department score of 97 out of 100 is among the highest in the College Area dining corridor, and the kitchen maintains that score across a high-volume operation that serves both dine-in and delivery through multiple platforms. The 92115 ZIP's dining density along El Cajon Blvd runs from Hawaiian plate lunch at L&L Hawaiian Barbecue to Vietnamese noodle soup to Thai curry, and Sushi Factory's late hours — running until eleven on weekends — give it the latest closing time of any sushi restaurant on the strip. Taro milk tea and Thai milk tea, prepared in-house, have become ordering staples alongside the sushi, and the combination of raw-fish quality and drink variety keeps the SDSU group-dinner crowd cycling back through the 92115 corridor.
