Best Japanese Restaurants in Serra Mesa

Service was excellent, drinks were absolutely delicious and food was great. The place is kinda of small but very chic.

This place is a must try. The quality and taste is amazing. The staff is also very friendly and attentive. Would definitely come back.

Waitress Erin and Chef Jesse are a dynamic duo who made our dinner experience at Benihana the best we’ve ever had! Erin was so attentive to us all, even on one of the busiest days of the year, Valentine's Day. Chef Jesse was a great entertainer, and his food was delicious! This was the first time my kiddo had no leftovers. We had the best time ever, and the food was terrific! Thank you, Erin and Jesse; you guys are the best!

We have been going to King's Fish House for years. It is our go to place for fish that is always fresh and prepared well. Today I was there with an old friend for lunch--we specifically chose Kings because it is quiet enough to talk and we never feel like we are being rushed. There is a large parking lot and it is free. There is a large seafood selection including really good sushi rolls. (There are also some good non-fish options as well.) One of my favorite items is the trout almondine which comes with 2 sides. It is also possible to request that the fish and chips be done with panko crumbs instead of the beer batter--which is much lighter but still delicious. We shared the bread pudding for dessert which was plenty for 2 people.

Wish we had something like this in north county. We would certainly make the drive down again, as it was that good.
