After years of hearing my friends rave about this spot, finally joined them to check it out; and it absolutely lived up to the hype.
The vibe is classic PB: laid-back and casual, focusing on solid food rather than fancy decor. Even for a Friday at 6:00 PM, the wait was manageable; we were seated within 15 minutes.
The menu is extensive and features some really creative, fresh items that are perfect for sharing. To top it off, the prices are very reasonable. We received excellent service from Yena, which made the night even better. Since I enjoyed it so much, I’ll definitely looking forward to visiting their North County locations soon!

Solid sushi spot. Good mix of apps, entrees, and sushi.
– Spicy garlic edamame: 5/5 good flavor
– Spicy tuna roll: 3/5 very plain, would’ve benefited from minimal garnish
– Cucumber roll: 4/5, plan but as expected
– Tuna nigiri: 3/5, flavor and temp was good but texture was a bit fibrous
– Seared salmon nigiri: 5/5, great quality and execution

Surprisingly bad given the glowing reviews. We ordered several special rolls and they all tasted the same. The sushi was horribly rolled and overfilled.
This place is a few hundred feet from the ocean. I live in Colorado and think all of my local sushi places are higher quality, even the chain ones.
Additionally, they only have low sodium soy sauce. When I asked if they had any regular soy sauce, the server told me he could bring me some salt. You would never be stuck with low sodium soy sauce at a sushi restaurant in Japan. It exists but almost exclusively for home use.
I wouldn’t recommend and I wish we had gone somewhere else for our last night in San Diego.

I hate to be so negative, but this experience was the absolute worst ever. I cannot believe so many people consider this to be good sushi. The portions were super overwhelming and make me feel like the quality of ingredients and fish are not up to standard. The worst sushi I’ve ever had… there was even gagging and spitting out of food going on, as it could not be avoided. My cup was super dirty (noticed after drinking about half of the drink.) They literally overloaded these rolls with portions of the masago/fish/cream cheese/rice, and ridiculous knife cuts of lemon that just destroyed the rolls. The roll with lemon was so spicy it was inedible. It was like the white fish was soaked in jalopenos/peppers/etc for so long, the level of heat combined with other peppers within the roll was total overkill. I ate one piece and was done. The lemon was cut so thick the rind was as bitter and overpowering. We ordered 4 rolls along with miso soups and spicy edamame. All were epic failures. Not one thing was truly edible, except for my drink which then turned out to be in a very dirty plastic cup.
Beyond the food issues, we were sat in an odd area and didn’t get even the most basic of things (like soy sauce, until we asked for it once the rolls were delivered and it was still not at the table. Plus, there were 4 different people who checked on us literally like every 3-4 minutes. To the point of obnoxiousness. Typically with sushi, you want to enjoy it and not have people stare at you or constantly asking you questions while chewing with your mouth full. It was so uncomfortable. Especially the fact that we could not eat the sushi/edamame. We did like the miso soup which had generous portions of tofu. But the rolls were obviously pre-made as the tempura parts were no longer crispy, AT ALL. Actually soggy and cold and the soft shell crab was a terrifying color so I was too afraid to eat more than the one bite. Bitter and definitely not fresh. The edamame was more like bbq sauce and had a quite strange taste profile. The 4 rolls we ordered all came out within like 5 mins of ordering, so there’s physically no way with how busy the restaurant was that they could’ve rolled them fresh.
Sadly, I have nothing positive to say and 100% regret the visit to this restaurant. I should’ve known by the name as the word association is clearly not a positive connection given their menu focusing on fish… It also really sucks to spend nearly $100 on food you can’t and won’t consume. Out of courtesy, we packed to take home, then just threw it all away. We didn’t want to cause a scene in the restaurant, get sick, or appear as though we expected a free meal. I’ll say again, it was BEYOND uncomfortable.
Lastly, the wasabi would not even blend into the soy sauce. When I tell you this was like chewed gum,… I basically gave up on any positive expectation at that point. We had to request the wasabi/ginger as well as it was not provided freely. Ultimately, I strongly recommend to steer clear. By all means, this is not proper sushi. I expected more from San Diego / Pacific Beach.
Oh wait, there was something we liked… they played some good music while we were there.

The only thing I hate is that it took us so long to try this place. We usually go to another place up the street but I kept hearing how good this one was so we decided tonight is the night to try it. OMG, it’s so good, so fresh and so reasonably priced. The caterpillar roll was our favorite but honestly everything was great!
Can’t wait to go back!

Was in San Diego for a week and of all the places I ate at this was probably my favorite. Parking is easy once you realize there’s public parking right behind them that gives 2 hours free if you’re eating here. Food was great. It’s a hole in the wall place but don’t let that stop you from trying it. Great food at reasonable prices. Friendly staff also

so good! many sushi & roll options to choose from. I love all the roll options & one page was 50% off. spicy garlic edamame is delicious & the sashimi pieces were huge & can’t go wrong with 99 cent sake bombs! I can’t wait to go back & try more rolls next time we are in San Diego

Amazing Sush, nigiri’s were so fresh and the Vegas roll was perfection. We ate here 3 days in one week.

Big hello upon entrance, somewhat small place. Foods great, ervice was ok, had to ask for a couple things including closing out tab. But the biggest turn off was the massive cockroach that was running around the dining floor. I get it.. it’s PB and close to the water but I couldn’t help but lose my appetite

We were in town for a trade show and decided we wanted sushi for dinner. After watching a video on YouTube describing this place we decided to give it a shot and this place did not disappoint. All of the sushi we tried was great but the grilled chicken on the Kuchi Special Dinner was dry and overcooked. Overall, the food was phenomenal and was without a doubt better than any of the sushi we have had in the southeast U.S.. Service was on point, food was great, and we are already planning on coming back next time we are in town.
