Besides the delicious inventive sushi and California cuisine inspired by Pacific Rim influences, this oceanfront restaurant is also serving up the best view in San Diego! It’s never been more enjoyable to sip on refreshing beach craft cocktails while soaking up the essence of the beach. With thoughtful details and accents, this Mission Beach rooftop transports you to a pool-like setting without all the splashing and twice the views. So dive in, there’s nothing quite like Cannonball!
Trendy venue for upscale sushi & small Japanese dishes served in a rooftop space with ocean views.

We had a great lunch on a busy Saturday afternoon, while visiting San Diego for the day.
The food was delicious and the view was amazing! We ordered the poke nachos and calamari both were really good. The nachos had a nice balanced flavor with the sauce and mango. The calamari was nicely fried. My daughter ordered the Bulgogi which we were all pleasantly surprised with how delicious it was. It had a nice char and spicy flavor. It was a great portion for the price of $15.
We ordered the Red Dragon which was tasty.
I ordered the hosimaki special, both albacore and salmon skin, and the rolls were tasty but not my favorite. It’s a great deal for the price but I probably won’t order them again.
The service was great! We had a beautiful view on the patio of the hustle and bustle of the beach.
Nice atmosphere to dine in. The prices were very reasonable considering the area and the beautiful view! Belmont park is a busy, fun beach vibe!
We will definitely go back soon!

One of my favorite places!
If you want to enjoy a good sushi, a cocktail, a burger, etc. Or just watch the sunset, enjoying the great atmosphere, this is a great place!
Great view, good food, and good service.
Not the best one, but definitely good for the occasion.

Our waiter was Arthur he was so kind and friendly! The food was fantastic, and so were the drinks! Everything was so fresh and sooooo good. All of the staff were so kind and it was such a pretty and comfy place to sit and enjoy our vacation. Will definitely be back and we would definitely recommend visiting!! Also the music was so peaceful compared to other places on the beach, everywhere else was playing house music or like loud pop music (which can definitely be fun for the night time) but it was definitely quieter and easier to talk here! With some nice beachy music playing in the background!

This spot was amazing! I went out for a much needed night out, and it was the perfect atmosphere to have a stress free night out with friends and family. Our server Sarah was great! She was on top of it and had a great attitude. I had the red dragon roll and the sushi did not disappoint. Great sushi great atmosphere.

Food was mid. We didn’t get a server to notice us for 20 minutes once we were sat. Once we had a server she had great service though. A bit overpriced for the food, not bad though. Great views ❤️ their drinks are good though! Recommend this place for drinks after the beach, food not unless you can’t wait for somewhere else.

Cannonball restaurant, located on Ocean Front Walk, Belmont Park in Mission Beach, is an open air facility, partially covered, upstairs. They serve “fancy”, excellent sushi and Japanese dishes. We were a party of six, and several of us had been several times before. This was my wife and my first time. The service was excellent. The place is very popular and the food arrived on the slow side, ok because we were enjoying. Be advised, if you arrive after about 3p, don’t sit facing the west. Brutal sun! It was a great experience, and we will likely return.

I had the freshest experience at Cannonball the restaurant faces the ocean and the view was amazing. Everything was wonderful from the fresh appetizers, tuna, the chef special sashimi fresh as the ocean. The shrimp tempura crispy and tasty. All of the rolls were on point and delightful. The R&B roll had steak asparagus with the taste of chili and garlic to awaken your taste buds. The Bone in Ribeye with the shishito peppers made this medium well steak delightful. The cocktails had the right blend of alcohol. The best part of the evening was the view of the sunset. The perfect end to my summer vacation in Carlsbad.

Choosing birthday dinner spot in San Diego is a hard decision but I’m so glad I chose Cannonball! Our waitress was very kind and friendly and we really enjoyed our visit. Sat right on the edge of the restaurant with a beautiful view of the beach and ocean. We ordered the salted edamame and the crispy octopus as appetizers. Super yummy. As for sushi, we ordered the Red Dragon, Rainbow, and Tokyo Nights rolls. Presentations were jaw-dropping and flavors were very fresh and creative. We also enjoyed the Flying Crane and the Coral Dragon drinks. The Coral Dragon did have a little kick with the jalapeño tequila, but it wasn’t too spicy. We were brought a birthday complimentary matcha tres leches cake for dessert and it was so good! I was so happy with our experience and service here. Loved walking down to the beach after dinner to top off a lovely evening.
Parking in the Mission Beach public parking lot was a little tricky, but we found a spot after circling around a couple times. Since the restaurant is outdoor and on the rooftop next to the ocean, I’d suggest bringing a jacket. They do have heating lamps next to the tables though!
