Excellent and fresh sushi served attractively by very friendly staff. Had one unfortunate accident where the waitress dropped a plate and soy sauce splashed on my brand new sneakers. Fortunately, I had just sprayed sealant on them, so not a disaster. The weather was perfect, so not sure why they didn’t have their garage door wall open.

One random evening I was craving sushi so badly that I just clicked the first place on DoorDash and ordered a rainbow roll and a salmon avocado roll. I didn’t have high expectations at all — I just really felt like sushi.
When the food arrived, I was honestly surprised – everything was packed so neatly, and the sushi tasted so fresh and delicious that I actually checked the restaurant name to remember it.
A few days later, I happened to be driving nearby and thought, “Let me just grab takeout from that place again.” I walked in and did a double take – it wasn’t just a random sushi spot, it was beautiful inside. Cozy, stylish interior, warm lighting… the kind of place where you want to sit and stay, not just grab and go.
Right then I decided: next time I’m coming back with friends.
Cocktails are great, the atmosphere is awesome, and the sushi chef is super friendly and made us feel really comfortable since we were seated right by the sushi bar.
Highly recommend trying the Torrey Pines roll too!

Where can I begin? Have you ever walked into a place and just felt like you were in heaven? The attention to detail as you walk into the restaurant and look around, every detail seems to have been given great thought. There was a place for women to store their bags without putting them on the floor. The food was absolutely breathtaking. From the sashimi that melts in your mouth, the appetizers that start the meal just right, the rolls you can’t find anywhere else to your classic favorites, the drinks that are exceptional, to the desserts that you just don’t want to stop at one, this place will not disappoint! I don’t think I can ever go to another sushi restaurant again after this meal! If you ever want to see heaven on earth in a restaurant, be sure to book a reservation so you do not miss out!!!

Being sick, I was craving a comforting bowl of good ramen, so I ordered takeout. Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed. My tonkotsu came with no mushrooms, no greens, just completely off. I also ordered a California roll, which didn’t taste fresh at all. Every item in this order was a letdown. And honestly, this was the worst ramen I’ve ever had. I believed in good reviews of this place. So sad.

Vibe here is excellent.
Service is excellent.
Maybe we just came early when they first opened tonight?
Both our rolls were mediocre.
My husband had surf n turf roll
I had the lemon fresh crab roll
Color, taste and texture was off on both.
We did not finish them.
We eat sushi often and have eaten here before and everything was great. Not so much this time.

We are always in the area and saw this new place, walked in checked it out and made reservations for the day after Valentine’s day. My girlfriend lived in Japan for a few years so we are very picky when it comes to sushi. The ambiance is fantastic, lighting etc… We ordered several different rolls and we always order salmon nigiri. The salmon sushi was so fresh and absolutely delicious, perfect amount of fat and temperature. We also ordered chu toro which was some of the best we ever tried. The rolls were all outstanding along with the presentation. Service was first rate. We ordered tempura ice cream for dessert and let me tell you it was AMAZING. Fish Boon might be my go to sushi restaurant. Kudos to all at Fish Boon.

Fish Boon has a lovely, chic atmosphere that makes for a great dining experience. The service was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall positive vibe. We ordered the tuna tostadas, a poke bowl, and a sushi roll (can’t remember which one!), and every dish was beautifully presented, fresh, and full of flavor. The quality of the ingredients really stood out. Whether you’re in the mood for a light bite or a full meal, this spot is definitely worth a visit

Fish Boon delivers an exceptional dining experience! The sushi is absolutely top-notch—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The appetizers were also very impressive, offering unique flavors that set the tone for the meal. I loved the cocktails, and the service was just as enjoyable as the food. I would highly recommend this spot!

Delicious food in a restaurant with a beautiful ambience! The fish was so fresh (caught that day) and the owners have a lot of knowledge about the fish and items on the menu. There’s a mix of traditional rolls as well as new ingredients from Japan. Lots of drink options too. The chefs were helpful with my gluten free needs by swapping out krab with real crab and had a gluten free sauce for me. We came for a date night and were very happy!

Stopped in for dinner and ended up ordering way more sushi than I planned because everything looked so good. My favorite was the sashimi as it was fresh, with just enough heat. I shared a video on my Instagram @SanDiegoFoodieFan if you want to see what the whole spread looked like.
