We went for the Valentine’s Day weekend omakase special lunch and had a truly 10/10 wonderful experience from start to finish.
Chef Mitsu and Chef Mickey created an incredible progression of courses — every dish was impeccable and clearly made with very high-quality ingredients. Each piece was thoughtfully prepared and honestly, every bite was delicious and memorable. The chefs also had such a fun, engaging energy, which made a big difference and added even more to the overall experience.
Our server Julia was such a delight and elevated the experience even more. She was warm, attentive, and made the whole meal feel personal and welcoming.
The vibe was casual, fun, and relaxing, which made the omakase even more enjoyable. It genuinely feels like a hidden gem and we will definitely be going back.
Highly recommend checking them out!

My husband and I tried their once monthly Omakase held on Sunday evenings. It did not disappoint.
Ambience was intimate with seven other guests.
The staff service and all cooks were friendly and got to know the customers very well.
Chef Mitsu and his team’s preparation was delicious and the non sushi dishes were different yet refreshing. Quality of fish was great and we always appreciate a no soy sauce sushi establishment.
We were unsure of how much food the omakase would provide, but were pleasantly surprised (and full). No add ons needed for us. We will be back for sure.

We went to Himitsu for the omakase to celebrate our nine year anniversary, and it ended up being exactly the experience we were hoping for. Chef Mitsu and his team put so much care into every course, and you can really feel the intention behind each piece. The whole team was incredible. Everyone was kind, attentive, and made the whole visit feel relaxed and welcoming without trying too hard.
It was a great way to spend the afternoon and mark a special milestone. We left genuinely happy. We’ll definitely be back.

IF you’re a sushi enthusiast I would highly recommend to skip this restaurant. The experience is mediocre at best for this price range. The owner is very energetic and friendly and service staff was very professional, but those are the only positives. I must say the fish quality and cuts were not very good at all.
I ordered Chirashi tokusen and my wife ordered a sushi platter. FIsh cutting was not clean with jagged edges, many pieces tasted bland or flavorless (either aged improperly or poor quality fish), chutoro was full of sinu, ikura was over marinated, crab leg meat were actually fishy and tasted “old”, portions were small. I upgraded to Hokkaido uni which tasted very good, but again for 16 dollars extra for 1 single piece I expected more generous portion for customers. OVerall I have the feeling that the restaurant is trying to squeeze profits rather than providing a great dining experience, especially with respect to the quality of the fish.
There is a mandatory 20% service fee which is not egregious for La jolla but why call it a tip at that point if it’s not optional and proportional to the service provided? Granted service for us was great and I would have tipped 20+% anyways, but having it mandatory I think is in bad taste, pretty much like a price hike on all items on the menu by 20%. If someone didn’t like the service I could imagine this being a bad situation. Perhaps the omakase could be better Judging from online photos but I won’t be returning to find out, especially at this price point.

amazing food, great quality of different kinds of fish; chefs working in front of you with fresh made sushi/sashimi/nigiri; lovely environment but not lots of seats

While the food tastes decent, the pricing is on the high side. The $30 snow crab tempura was especially underwhelming—small portion, overly battered and oily, with hardly any crab flavor and too much salt.

My second time here and both times were amazing! I went here this past Sunday for their new Sunday special dinner; which is limited seating at the bar with a unique tasting menu prepared and served by Himitsu himself. So many favorites, I wish I remembered all the names of everything we tried but take my word for it! If you are a sushi lover and haven’t tried this place, you must at it to your list! Depending on the night parking can be difficult, there’s a small parking lot, so just account for that. Supringly there was plenty of parking on Sunday when we went! They are going to continue a monthly Sunday special service if you we were looking for a special and unique sushi date night!

Great experience. We had a party of 3 and had reservations for sushi bar. Do the sushi bar. The chef is so engaging and offering of menu suggestions. Crazy fun and crazy good. Sushi chef Mickey was awesome. It is a bit pricy but man the sushi is sooo fresh. Aiden our server was spot on and attentive without any sense of overbearing. Great food. Great night.

Service was “cold” even on a not so busy evening. I ordered a GF ramen, from the 100% GF menu. They assured me my food would be gluten free when ordering. As I got to the bottom of my soup, I found a 3 inch piece of Udon noodle (not GF). I pulled it out before eating, but my soup was contaminated and I had nearly finished it. So, word of caution about that for celiacs.

Visiting from Boston and this was a wonderful spot for dinner!
I highly recommend taking them up on the chefs special of the night. All of the recommendations were incredible and so unique. The monkfish blew my mind.
It’s definitely upscale sushi, so you’ll spend a bit but so worth it!
