I don't understand how they have a 4.4 rating. Everything about this place is mediocre. I ordered a mixed fruit sandwich for $9.73 and a misubi for an additional cost.The fruit sandwich wasn't filled with cream all the way, for the price they could have packed it with more cream and the fruit was soggy. The misubi had a weird taste and the rice tasted old, I couldn't finish it. Plus it's on the counter at the front where it's been sitting out probably all day without proper food temp.
They have an employee named Stephanie who helps take orders, doesn't wear a name tag & when asked to give her name gets all defensive. Another young man was sitting behind the counter on his phone, I was standing looking at the menu for awhile before she came over and asked if I was ready to order. She speaks really low in a squeaky voice and can barely hear what she's saying over the music playing in the background. I had a couple questions about the menu being that it was my first time there and she seemed annoyed and bothered to answer them. She looks like she doesn't enjoy her job & is miserable there. They didn't have all menu items available at the time I was willing to come back to give it a second try but after tasting the quality of the food & their stank attitude, I'd rather keep my money and go elsewhere. Not coming here again. Food 1/5, Service 1/5, Atmosphere 1/5. Honest Review.

First time trying the little hidden gem in San Diego and it was amazing. The chicken and egg sando was really good. Lots of egg, cheese, and drenched in sauce. And the sweet Japanese milk bread it came with was a perfect pair. The sandos are a bit pricey to be eating here frequently for me, but you do get your moneys worth with the quality of the food. Will definitely be coming back here again. Overall 5 ⭐️

TikTok led me to this spot. My chicken sandwich was undercooked. My drink was really good
If your looking for a taste of Japan this as close as it gets. Sandwiches are delicious and the variety is awesome. If your not sure what to try the sampler boxes are the way to go

Nice little spot. Sandwiches are good. Portion size of sandwich and plates are generous. Great flavors in everything I've tried so far. The place itself is kinda dirty and makes me wonder how clean (or unclean) the kitchen is.

The place is nice, cashier nice, everything was nice and that sushi “IS”the best sushi. The place is more like a take out food place. If they think in open a new place more finest, elegant vibe and service that sushi won’t disappoint them! 🫶🏼

I love their sandos (sweet or salted). I recommend the combo, which includes a sando and a drink for $13. The employees are serious but respectful, as an introvert, I appreciate that ❤️
The establishment is small but cozy.
You have three options to order: at the register with a waiter, via tablet (contactless) next to the register, or through their website for pickup.
Sorry, I don't provide photos but it was pretty yummy to wait.

Ok. So the chicken katsu sandwich was ok, it was good. But i remember years back the first time i went the sando was prepared way better, you can see and taste the love before. Now it barely had any slaw and i didnt get my pickled radish which at least before they would give with the sandwich. Also the establishment was really really dirty so i got it to go. Next time im trying the pork or egg salad sando and asking if they still give the radish

Food is amazing! I wish it was more seating but everything came out in a decent time frame. We got Boba & strawberry matcha drinks and all were delicious!
