I had an amazing experience at Ika Sushi thanks to Jennifer! She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. From the moment we walked in, she made us feel welcome and taken care of. She offered great recommendations (the spicy tuna roll was a hit!), and made sure our drinks were always full and that we had everything we needed.Jennifer’s warm personality and excellent customer service truly stood out. It’s rare to find someone who balances professionalism with such a genuine and kind attitude. Ika Sushi is lucky to have her — I’ll definitely be coming back, and I’ll be asking for Jennifer again!

This is the best sushi in San Diego Area. The nigiris are fresh and very high quality . The place is casual so you can go with friends , family , date , etc. I lived in Japan quite some time so I can definitely say it tastes like Japan . Yo definitely have to order de salmon, Tuna, Hamachi and Toro Nigiris.

Absolutely loved our experience here! The jalapeño poppers were perfectly crispy on the outside and bursting with flavor inside — easily some of the best I’ve ever had. The fried rice was also a standout.

But what truly made the night special was the exceptional service from Orlando. He was attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcomed from the moment we sat down. He really elevated the entire meal. We’ll definitely be back soon!

Absolutely outstanding sushi spot! The salmon and tuna were incredibly fresh and flavorful, truly top quality. The local craft beer selection was also excellent. You genuinely feel transported to Japan with every bite. The service was amazing thanks to Oscar, Lorena, Fonsi, and Sonia. They made the whole experience even better. This place is a must-visit for sushi lovers. Highly recommended!

Stopped in on a whim and got great service and hooked up. The fish was so good I had to order a second round of toro nigiri.

Update: I came back and again exceptional! Jose and Oscar really make you feel at home and their service is amazing!

If you’re seeking an unforgettable experience drenched in disappointment, look no further. This place serves up a hearty helping of regret with a side of excuses. The culinary journey here is more akin to a tragic saga, where taste buds go to wither and dreams of good food come to die.

Let’s talk service—because clearly, they won’t. The lady at the front desk seems to have mistaken her role for ‘Ambassador of Attitude,’ expertly blending indifference with a dash of rudeness. If there was an Olympic event for bad customer service, she'd be bringing home the gold.

Expect bad food, worse service, and a plethora of excuses served cold. Dining here isn’t just a meal; it’s an exercise in patience and lowered expectations. Bon appétit—if you dare.

The owner contacted me and does want to do better. I do appreciate their efforts, as it was a terrible experience. I ordered pick up and then called ahead to ask when it might be done for timing. They told me ten to fifteen more minutes. I arrived 25 minutes in case it was not ready. The hostess then helped another pick up and promptly provided them their food within five minutes. I figured mine was in the works, I was wrong. After waiting another ten minutes, I asked for an ETA. The hostess then said they would look into it. Then came back to say it would be ten more minutes. I waited another 20 minutes before inquiring again, only to be told 10 more minutes. Another pick up who ordered at the hostess ten minutes after me, came and got their food. All in all, I waited at the hostess stand for an hour, which was in addition to the 30 minutes before coming down.

I thought, oh maybe they forgot my order and had to remake it. Nope. Rice--cold, gyoza--cold, tempura sushi--cold. All the while the hostess ignored me and would not even make eye contact or talk to me about the issues. She ignored me to talk to friends outside the store instead. Real nice.

I ordered the sexy roll and mix tempura for takeout. I arrived a few minutes earlier than i was told it would be ready and it was ready to go. The tempura was cold and a little soggy, not crisp at all. The sushi was supposed to have crispy tempura on top but it was so soggy and stale tasting I couldnt eat it. It was gross. I scraped it all off so I could eat the rest. So disappointed. Usually the food is excellent.

Update: A manager contacted me about my order and apologized for the service and refunded the cost. I will definitely go back again as the quality is usually excellent. I am looking forward to my next visit.

Terrible customer service from manager GABRIEL!
Asked me and my 2 kids to wait outside while we wait for a table, it was very cold and windy... he said we were in the way... but they have no waiting area, very badly planned... It was rude that he would ask us to wait outside.
