If I'm not mistaken, there used to be only one sushi-delivery company dedicated to serving UCI and its surrounding neighborhood with sushi rolls at ungodly hours of the night (they open at 6 p.m. and close at 2 a.m.). Now there are two.

DelSushi is Ippo's main and only competition (I think), and it also has a storefront at University Center near Blaze Pizza, if you just happen to be there and not holed up in some dorm room, cramming for finals.
Their delivery area is pretty limited, practically identical to Ippo's, an area bounded by the 405, the 73, Jamboree, and Culver, which is to say, inside the UC Irvine campus and not that much farther.
But if you're living outside of this area, chances are you're not in their demographics, because, um, you sleep at a normal hour and probably had your sushi well before 8 p.m.
