“We always have a good experience here. Food is always fresh and tasty and the service is impeccable. The owners take a lot of pride in making sure everyone has a good experience. So lucky to have a hibachi steakhouse in Eastlake now so we don’t have to drive to Benihana’s crowded place!”

“What a find! Completely unexpected gem in Chula Vista. Food was absolutely amazing. My garlic noodles with pork belly was the best pork belly I've ever had. By far. The cut of pork and preparation were perfect. My UK coworker gave a huge 2 thumbs up for their fish and chips. Said it was legit. Another coworker raved about their bao buns. Drinks from the bar were great as well. A must visit when in San Diego.”

“Awesome staff and delicious options, plenty to choose from. I recommend the Go Go Godzilla or the Abre La Boca Mucho Roll. After six years, it's my number one place for Japanese style food.”

“I really enjoy dining here. I was introduced to this spot by an older friend and my wife. They had been coming here for years before any of us met (this place has been here for over 20 years). The food has always been on point, the service has always been excellent and everyone is just so nice when we visit. Consistency in these three things is such a hard thing to find these days and the folks at California Sushi deliver, spot on, everytime we have visited. Thank you all and we look forward to dining with you for years to come.”

“I read the reviews and decided to give it a try since there was a lot of positive things being said. The portions are plentiful and I loved the fried rice. Overall the meats were good, but my chicken was dry, could've really used more sauces and seasoning. The lady who took my order was very nice and helpful. I'm sure we'll be back. Oh ginger and yum yum sauce is the best!”

“This place is my absolute go-to for Sushi. I mean no matter what you get it is amazing. This place was one of the few things I really missed when moving away from here. If you are nearby then I 100% recommend you come here. Parking: It is in an open Mall that has plenty of parking. Probably too much. Could have been used for housing instead but still helpful. Kid-friendliness: They have a fun fountain in the middle of their food court you can run around in. Wheelchair accessibility: I'd say so.”

“I am writing to formally express my disappointment regarding the service I received during my recent visit to your restaurant. One of the waitresses was extremely rude and unprofessional throughout my interaction with her. Additionally, I requested a few slices of lemon, and later noticed that I was charged for them without being informed there would be an additional cost. I found this practice both misleading and discourteous.”

“Cochinita is some of the best Teriyaki in the region, originally coming to us from about 50km south straight out of Ensenada, this is their flagship and only US location and if you’re in San Diego it’s a must; bold of me to say, but in my heart it’s one of the city’s speciality dishes. I’ve been coming here since I was a child, and we’ve always been faithful to the chicken Minoru or the chicken Nomuraki if you want a more flavorful dish. It’s basically just a bed of rice with grilled chicken on top, but the Nomuraki goes a step above and adds seasoning, green onion, and an accompanying side of a picked cucmever salad. It’s not intensely pickley though, and it’s a very refreshing side to enjoy with the chicken. Everything is always fresh and steaming hot as they cook the chicken thighs right in front of you the only thing I’ve been instructed by my mom to do is to ask for the chicken without any skin. It does cost a little extra but I’ve never not ordered it like that and I’ll continue to do so. Also be sure to let them know if you want any condiments, they have pickled red onions, pickled jalapeños, and a signature red salsa. But truly I recommend anything this place has to offer and it’s as local and authentically Chula Vista as it gets. I really love this place and I’m glad it’s survived the test of time which is why I hope y’all can give them a chance and see if you just found out one of your newest favorite restaurants. Overall, DAYGOEATSCERTIFIED✅✅📋”

“Absolutely Incredible Food! Makes me wish I was a local! My wife and I checked this place out as we were visiting San Diego for the Muse concert and I’m very very happy I came across this genuine sushi restaurant! The staff is very welcoming and friendly! Clean inside with a great vibe and tunes they play! The food was A+ when it came out! Very fresh and extremely delicious! I would definitely recommend trying the baked salmon roll, special kaiyo roll and the Yum Yum roll! Whenever I go back to visit San Diego I’ll definitely be stopping by Kaiyo sushi to try more of their delicious menu!”
