    Honestly one of the best experiences I’ve had in awhile. I had a reservation @8:45 on a Thursday night I was late by 10 minutes but they still at us immediately. The service was outstanding! I haven’t had such great attendance in at a restaurant in a very long time. The server Victoria was supper friendly and helpful in making recommendations and everything we had was SO GOOD!! I go eat sushi quite a bit and this was perfect. The sushi was fresh and the combinations the chefs created were very flavorful. A 10/10 hands down. Thank you🙏🏼🙏🏼

    Enjoyed most of the rolls but the rainbow roll had so much mayo that we couldn’t eat it. Server didn’t ask us how it was, just took it away and we got the check to leave. The “kobe” roll way amazing. We’ll go back for special occasions and get the fancy rolls - I’ll skip the basic ones for the price.

    Their nigiri is not only the best selection but also the best quality in all of San Diego. The ambiance is amazing for a cute date night or place to enjoy great food with great company. The bluefin four ways is a must.

    Food is good as always but the service is very lackluster. Servers don’t quite give you the dining experience you wish for. My server didn’t even greet and introduce herself. She went straight to drink orders. As well I could barely hear her even though the place was not loud.

    Excellent dinner. Must start with the tuna crispy rice. The shrimp fried rice is the best in SD. Kobe roll is also a must have.

    I thought it was just okay. The sushi wasn’t bad but it wasn’t that interesting. The server seemed annoyed when we asked questions and she gave surly non-answers. I asked what she recommended for a spicy roll and my husband asked how large a typical roll was because we were trying to determine how much food to order. Perfectly reasonable questions. I really did not enjoy the dumplings. They had a weird perfume taste and the texture was slimy .

    We unfortunately we’re not able to get a table inside so we had to sit outside on the sidewalk, but the food is excellent so it erased away the environment. I can’t even list all the items I got but the salmon four ways was superb as well as the chicken teriyaki.
