    Some of the best, freshest sushi in SD. Spicy tuna crispy rice 8.5/10, Oysters 11/10 so bomb, Nigiri plate with salmon avocado roll 9.2/10 (the chef selection was on point), Kama-toro nigiri 10/10, Butter mochi cake 8.7/10. Cocktails we had were delicious as well. This was our first time here and will definitely be here again.

    Date night perfect - a circle of couple tables circles the room with a few larger tables centered within the room but conversation was easy, low background noise. Excellent fare (don't forget to ask about the nightly specials). Choice spot for a first date. Lastly: Very positive vibes from the staff which always makes the experience better.

    Haven’t been in 10 yrs, but the food is great and took a friend for his birthday as I had previously recommended it to him and he loved it. I will for sure get back into making my weekly visits for dinner. 🥰

    Every time we visit the area we make a stop here. We’ve had amazing experiences each time. Food is always on point, trust for great quality and flavors. This last time we noted the service was different than previous. It was prompt, but almost on the side of rude. We got the feeling that our just being there was an inconvenience. Never a great feeling on a night out.
