“The food was delicious I recommend it everyone.... FrIendly waiter u can see them making the food I enjoyed it.. I’m coming to eat..“

“Best sushi in San Diego. We never had a problem coming in sitting down and having a wonderful time eating sushi here. Staff here is great to work with they know the menu. Every time I’m in the area stop by to get a Solano roll. Maybe 2 or 3 or 4. They’re that good.“

“Amazing omakase, friendly and knowledgeable staff“

“Shiku Sushi has the best atmosphere for dining, from their amazing menu and service. You are greeted the minute you enter and each server has a smile for you. I love the rolls, and I try different ones each visit. Casanova, Summer Beach Body to name a few. This Sushi bar is a MUST when you're visiting. You won't be disappointed!“

“The sushi is amazing...baked salmon roll and Philly rolls are my go to!“

“We went on a Friday night and it was packed. Waited about 20 min to get seated. While the server was nice, service was horrendously slow and getting our food was even worse. We ordered 3 appetizers, a bento box, ramen and about 8 rolls. The appetizer rook so long that the owner gave me a free beer and apologized. Then my hubby's bento box and daughter's ramen came out first. They were fully finished while we were still waiting on our rolls. The owner came by again to apologize and gave us a free roll. She also came by when we were finished and again apologized profusely for the long delays with our food.

With that said, everything was fresh and delicious. We will definitely go back, but not on a Friday night.“

“I always have fantastic service and wonderfully tasty food every time I come here. This visit was no exception.“

“My husband and I were able to get a fast reservation with the Quick Omakase Experience. The experience was ~ 1 hour.

This was our second visit (first one was the full omakase, several years ago).

Majority of the group was already seated for a full Omakase experience. Chef TJ served us at a great pace even though we had a slightly different menu than the rest.

Fish was fresh and there was an option to add on more nigiri at the end.

Chef TJ and staff were kind and refilled my tea throughout the night.“

“If you try this place— you will forget all others. This place is the bomb . Com!
My gf is a harsh critic too, and she kept saying “wow” “ this is so good” and I was thinking the same thing! Great amount of food. This is our second time here and I wanted to try something new, so I got the Super Delsushi Roll, that was a home run, slam dunk. We also got the Pink lady and spicy tuna roll, also delicious and great sizes.
Also the hosts was very friendly and light spirited, she made these with love and you could definitely tell! Definitely coming back as she said more things will be added to the menu and the eating area will get an upgrade. Can’t wait to be back!“

“One word: Bitersweet
I was on my birthday trip when i went to moment sushi, im from Virginia so im SO SAD im so far but SO GLAD i went! It's been a month and i still dream about these Handrolls. From the food, to the ambience, to the staffs knowledge and from how they treat you when you first come in til when you leave? AMAZING.
The appetizers were my favorite, I'm a tuna gal so ofcourse we got the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice & the Bluefin Tuna Ponzu Wasabi (don't skip this one trust me - especially if you love tuna).

This is what I ordered for hand rolls:
Pictured Bottom Hand rolls (left to right): Albacore with mango ceviche, Hamachi with jalapeño, Panko shrimp tempura w tartar sauce, Tuna poke with crispy rice, Unagi with Avocado
Our server was so nice and advised me to eat the Unagi first since it came out hot (I agree should be eaten first BUT It's SOO GOOD i wish i would have ordered 2 one to start and one to finish) everything else was good - id probably skip the shrimp with tartar sauce.

We were lucky (we didn't have a reservation) but managed to snag a table outside in one of their heated bubbles. (They were so kind to offer a blanket as well)

Please know if I'm EVER in San Diego this is my first Dinner Stop.“

“Really wonderful place, sushi and everything was very good. Calamari was a nice light fry. TNT roll was very nice. Character buns were fun and tasty, although in hindsight the Nutella bunny wasn’t as tasty as the other options. Overall great place would go again. One thing to note about this very cool location is you can hear the sea lions, and if the wind blows the wrong direction you may smell the sea lions briefly, so if you are sensitive to that eating inside may be preferred. Their outdoor seating in lovely though and they have heaters so it was still a very nice place to sit“

“An amazing restaurant! The fish is so fresh that it sparkles!! Get the omakase!! And we will definitely be back And that means traveling there from Northern California. It’s that good.“

“Authentic Tokyo style sushi and sashimi for Jim and great choices for us non fish eaters. We eat there every week.“

“This place is absolutely amazing! Me and my family come here almost once a week and we all love the food and the experience. The ramen is absolutely delicious! (my trick is to switch out the broth for the broth that they use for the udon noodles). If you are anywhere near here i definitely recommend coming!“

“Good experience! Friendly atmosphere“

“very good food and service“

““Japanese restaurant with amazing quality of fish”

ㅇ (Taste) Both sashimi and sushi are aged amazingly. The taste of fish at a high-quality Japanese restaurant.
- Truffle-topped sushi may be a bit complicated, but the taste of fish is the best.
- If you order the $34 chef's set, you get 6 pieces of rolls, 4 pieces of sashimi, and 6 pieces of sushi. Good value for money
ㅇ (Service) Friendliness. The server continuously checks the meal status. And the food came out super fast.
ㅇ (Atmosphere) Cleanliness inside and outside the store. The spacing is wide so you can relax. There are lots of seats, but it's not noisy at all.“

“Such an awesome place with great food and an awesome beach setting! Whenever I come to San Diego to visit family, I will always come here after a great day on the water.“

“We love Blue Fin Sushi!! The staff/service are fabulous and the food/sushi is above and beyond.“

“it looks delicious never tried it I live in Puerto Rico USA used to live in California and ate sushi twice a week so I know west coast sushi, sashimi, miso etc. are the best your pics sure make me hungry thanks for sharing I would eat the entire tray 🍣🍤🍣🍤🍣🍤🍣“

“It is an okay place for a fast bite of sushi. Atmosphere is average. Service was average. Food was just edible. Not bad but not really good. Mediocre.“

“Zzan sushi on convoy is sooooo delicious! the staff are the sweetest people, including the owner Tyler. They answered all our questions and were so patient. Everything we ordered was a 10/10. The vibes were so lovely and fun. We came as a group of 4 around 10pm and the wait was only 5-10 mins on a Friday night. So much fun!“

“Fresh fish, a great variety, and friendly staff! While it can get very busy with both dine-in and takeout orders, the team stays on top of it well. The chefs are happy to customize orders upon request. The outdoor patio is a huge plus, and their 50% off specials are awesome!“

“Fantastic food quality. Purist food.“

“Great service and food was yummy.. I had the TJ Roll and another one with albacore, spicy tuna and shrimp. 2nd one was delicious.“

“super delicious and fresh. Great service“

“Solid neighborhood joint for Japanese and Korean food. The ramen is decent as are the rolls. The staff is always friendly.

We come here on a pretty regular basis for a simple and well priced evening meal out.

Good food but not a destination.“

“Amazing Sushi!! 5 stars definitely!!“

“II have to say it was so bussy and the cashier did a fantastic job in making sure we got our order asap ..! congratulations the service was spectacular the place was spotless the atmosphere was so inviting and the food was out of this world good I RAQUEL HIGHLY RECOMEND IT👏 YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED 👌 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Big crab legs, big oysters + military discount.“

“This is my go-to spot for authentic Japanese ingredients. I was impressed by the variety in the frozen dumpling section. Make sure to visit the bakery for the fresh milk bread—it sells out fast! Parking can be a bit tight on weekends, so try to go on a weekday morning if you can.“

“Local Roots Solana Beach: clean, modern, and friendlier than a dog at a barbecue! Work or play, have it your way with rotating kombucha and chef's sushi menu. Wifi, TVs and indoor outdoor space make it ideal for people watching or mingling. Just a heads up, it's a bit pricer with fewer options than nearby spots like Station Sushi, but hey, quality ain't cheap! ?? ??

Also agree with other reviewers, James is a cool guy. ?“

“An exceptional dining experience right in the heart of LaJolla. The food is fresh and plentiful. The servings are creative, colorful, individual, and joyful. Great chefs. Congratulations Steve..e“

“Greeeat food, service and music.- Loved it, I’ll definitely comeback when I’m im town again!! — PS.- Shaky/Shivering tables was weird to my Amigo Joe though.- What was that!? 😆“

“Stopped by Domo Kitchen while I was next door at Charlie Rose and I’m so glad I did! I don’t usually eat in Clairemont, but this place was such a great find.

The customer service was honestly the sweetest. I wish I had gotten their names because they were so kind and welcoming. The cook (the cutest elderly man!).

The food was fresh and full of flavor, and the Hawaiian sushi roll was so delicious. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to!“

“I ordered sashimi at the sushi bar for lunch also had 2 piece Ikura (salmon roe) and a soft shell crab appetizer. Fish was very fresh it was obvious since they were still breaking it down in front of me. 2 guys on the sushi bar 3 in the back and one waitress. I was probably 2nd customer and only person at the bar. I got a weird look from waitress when I asked for the bar and she had to ask one of the guys if it was ok. I soon realized that it was not a real sushi bar after I looked at the menu and realized that they did not have sashimi on the menu.
When I go to a new place I usually order sashimi before I look at a menu because I know what I want.
The place filled up quick and the one waitress was running hard but the guys at the bar took care of me. Fresh fish good beer and sake I was very happy.
Music was very loud and irritating some kind of pop but the guys had no problem turning it down (they did not like it either).
I found it strange that they were pre-cutting the fish into slices but I guess if you are doing production that makes sense, I just have never seen it.
I read a lot of the reviews and part of the problem is people going to a sushi bar for something other than sushi. On the other hand if a restaurant is going to offer it it should be good.

Spent $120 after tip but it was at the coast on pch so location and all. Not to much more than my normal spot maybe $20 or so.

I was happy with my dining experience.“
