The chicken karaage had a thin batter, which I liked because it felt lighter and less flour heavy. I enjoy fried chicken that’s crispy on the outside and juicy inside, but in this case, the batter wasn’t particularly crispy. Still, the thin coating clung nicely to the moist meat, creating a good balance. I also appreciated that it wasn’t too salty.
The rolls are generally good here, but today the rice was especially well-prepared pleasantly nutty and with a nice, slightly springy texture. The spicy tuna roll is my go-to menu item, and I love that it always comes with a generous amount of fish. The spider roll had a delicious balance of flavors, with crispy crab and a sauce on top that was seasoned just right.

The food was good, tasty. I like the size of the rolls, not too big.
A good value for money.
Now observing the sushi cooks, they were not dressed appropriately for preparing food, specifically raw fish. There were no gloves or hats visible, which is concerning for food safety and makes it hard to trust the handling process. I hope management addresses this immediately, as the potential for a great restaurant is there once health standards are met.

Grabbed lunch here and had a great meal! We were seated promptly and our server was very kind. I ordered the classic eel roll, the sunset roll, and the scallop dynamite roll. All the rolls were very tasty. The eel roll flavor got a bit overpowered by the sauce drizzled on it (a thick, sweet sauce) and the sunset roll was a bit one note–though still very tasty. The scallop dynamite roll was my favorite. It has no structural integrity and kept falling apart as I ate it, but the flavor was amazing! My partner got the teriyaki chicken and he enjoyed it. It came with a side salad which had an odd flavored and textured dressing on it. All the rolls were fairly priced and you got a good amount of food for each one.

Servers were great. While I waited for my lunch partner they made sure I was happy. The special Bruce Lee roll was very tasty. The sashimi special was delicious and fresh. Beware of toasted peppers that look like toasted onions. Whew! They’re hot.

Really good! Service is nice and staff was thoughtful enough to give a surprise birthday gift. Highly recommend the Rincon and Cardiff roll, and the fries are always good.

Their Korean BBQ rib lunch special was awesome! I would definitely go there again if I’m in town. Reasonable prices too. Excellent service and quality.

Ordered: 3/5
-Tonkotsu $14.50– the flavor was just ok nothing special. I also didn’t like the fact that my soup broth was not hot.
-Dynamite $13– overloaded w mayonnaise.
-Rainbow $13– the roll was filling.
-Crunchy $7 HH plus eel $3– adding eel atop the roll was a good choice.
-California $5 HH
-Salmon Kama $5 HH– good portion. Perfectly cooked.
-Sake $5 HH
Service: 4/5
Our waitress gave us the courtesy of checking to see if we wanted to order more food before the Happy Hour ended.
We enjoyed our experience. The place was happening and had customers going in and out constantly.
Note:
Best time to beat dinner crowd is to arrive before 5pm. Otherwise, there’s a wait.

Came here with my wife for dinner on a Wednesday just in time to partake in the end of happy hour for about an hour. It was not too busy, and were seated without waiting. We ordered drinks (draft beer and sake) and appetizers (Calamari, Salmon Kama, and Cucumber Salad). The Salmon Kama took a while to get, but the other appetizers came quick and were good. The Calamari was a little overcooked, making it chewy. For the main dishes, we ordered rolls (Balboa, Picasso, Scallp Dynamite, and Murica) and nigiri (Salmon, Yellowtail Belly, Albacore, and Unagi). We wanted to get sea urchin nigiri as well, but they were out. The rice-to-fish ratio was just right, although the unagi was on the smaller side for nigiri. The Murica roll is not a typical roll and we just wanted to try it. It was not bad, but not good either; definitely not one to reorder for our preference. Overall the food barely made a five star. The service was great. Our waitress was attentive and knew the menu. The atmosphere was energetic and not too loud, but nothing really stood out. There is indoor and patio seating. It is definitely place we would come back to, especially when in the Clairemont area. We look forward to trying the other rolls and dishes.

Overall, an excellent sushi place with what I think are reasonable prices for sushi. I had the red ramen which had excellent flavor and the pork belly was wonderful. A really nice spot that is very popular so make sure you put your name in because there’s going to be a wait. Worth the wait though.

The place is very cute, kinda small inside but it also has outdoor seating. It has a relaxing esthetic. They have beer, wine, sake, sodas, and teas. Get the Kamikaze Fries! Besides the sushi they also have noodle dishes, salads, desserts, and lunch specials. Can’t wait to try them again
