    Consistently one of the best (if not the best) sushi restaurants in San Diego - never disappoints. Always a fresh selection of fishes/seafood to choose from (especially uni), with high quality and generous cuts. Seating can be a bit tight and reservations are a must, but the staff are accommodating, drink selection is solid, and the food makes it all worth it. 11/10, would recommend.

    The food and service were outstanding per usual. It’s the best sushi outside of Japan. My only complaint was that a young couple brought their toddler to dinner and the child proceeded to scream throughout the meal, making it nearly impossible to have a conversation. It was so unsettling and ruined the ambiance of the restaurant. I wish staff had asked them to step outside with their child.

    Very disappointed with the omakase. Two of the courses were miso soup and a scoop of ice cream for dessert. Not impressed with any of the other courses at all. Noise level was high and no ambiance. Service was great though!
