The menu had a great variety, and every dish exceeded our expectations. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and provided outstanding service. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and made for a perfect stop during our trip. If we’re ever back in the area, Hana Sushi will definitely be one of our first stops. Highly recommended!“

“Fabulous sushi. I’ve been looking for a spot near me to ages and finally found one. Gets busy in the evenings but they were turning tables over and getting to us quickly so no big deal to wait. Ordering for takeout on their website is quick and easy too. Highly recommend!“

“We’ve been so happy with each dinning experience we’ve had at Tsunami! The service is excellent and their food extraordinary! The sushi is fresh and they have their own unique creations as well as the classics. Their tempura is a delight and the prawns are crazy good! If you’re a sushi fan, this is a must go!!!“

“Pleasantly surprised by this place. First time trying it as I’m looking to make 2023 a year I explore new food places. This was my first new place of the year and I’m glad I found them! Friendly people and don’t be fooled by the small frontage. Hole in the wall places are the best. I also liked their happy hour menu….I was there for lunch but will be going back for happy hours and dinners😃“

“Eaten here numerous times. Excellent quality food, and service. Equivalent to San Francisco Bay Area Japanese restaurants..which are outstanding.“

“I love this place, I definitely recommend this place in come here for my smoothies with Boba.“

“Sai Japanese Bistro is one of those places we always come back to. The fish is consistently fresh, everything is amazing and really well done, and the service just feels genuinely welcoming. It’s an easy go-to when we want something comforting but still a little special.“

“My family and I love this sushi place. It offers real Japanese cuisine and hot sake. The prices are fare. The atmosphere is casual and family-friendly. So.etimes theres a wait. But not always. They have a second dinning room they'll open if it gets busy.“

“Getting a 5 star overall for the food, since that’s the point of coming to sushiman! My first time coming here ever and the atmosphere was nice, quiet but with some nice music in the back, nice decorations and just a cute environment without doing the most, just cozy and chill type off vibes. The food was great, tasted amazing, zero complaints about it. Ordering food wasn’t an issue at all, I didn’t feel rushed by the cashier (that’s always a thing for me) but she was patient. My only complaint will be is, they should bring out the plates for customers who are dining in, I don’t know I just think it’s a nice gesture, and if a place like Carl’s Jr can do it, then they could as well for the price we are paying. Kinda of a hurry up and eat type of thing:P“

“Food already great here 💕 🍣 🍱“

“The food was great. Mango-Mango roll was exceptional!!“

“I didn't have the sushi, maybe next time. I went with the chicken curry katsu, spicy. The flavor was very good but I think they forgot to make it spicy. I didn't detect any spice to it. They have a nice selection of craft brews on tap and the service was very friendly. Overall I liked this place and will go again.“

“We had my dad’s retirement party here at JJ’s Island Grindz and our host was Ellis I cannot speak highly enough on the service he provided for us it will be unmatched. He treated us like family, very attentive, very respectful, on time with everything very professional. I just want to thank him and his crew for providing excellent customer service love and care to our family and friends. The food was amazing the drinks were delicious and had a great presentation. JJ’s Island Grindz is a good vibe. Thank you again for hosting our event.“

“Bang for your buck on sushi. I always get sashimi platter and salt and pepper tofu. Ginza house noodles, orange chicken, all of it amazing.

Wait staff could use some training on service and how to look for tables that may need assistance. They seem to lose their way when they have more than 4 of 5 tables.“

“San Diego’s best sushi! Get the CATS roll!“

“......we walked here for lunch the first full day after my nephew from texas arrived.......he and his girlfriend are sushi fanatics and this place sure hit the spot.......we had the all you can eat lunch......they polished off all the nigiri they ordered, raving about the rice-less ones the most......i added sides and some teriyaki chicken (oh my!) to enhance the experience and they did.......cucumber salad, edemame, seaweed salad so good.........all in all a very enjoyable satisfying lunch and now it'll be the first spot we eat when the nephew returns.........“

“Had a really great experience here. The sushi was fresh and flavorful, and you could definitely taste the quality of the fish. The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming, making it a perfect place to enjoy a nice meal. Highly recommend this spot if you love good sushi!“

“good food, friendly staff and atented“

“The food is amazing, as is the service. My family have eaten there since they opened in 1986. They were small then, when Swenson's ice cream used to be next door. My favorite dish was the champon noodles. It still tastes the same!!“

“If you're in the mood for sushi this has got to be the place you go to. The fish was extremely fresh and melts in your mouth, the rice was perfectly textured and flavored, and the toppings/cream cheese was all well proportioned. Not to mention we were caught off guard with how large the sushi rolls were. Only got 4 rolls and had to take a few pieces home. 4 sushi rolls, a curry, an udon, gyoza, and drinks all for under 100 dollars, in California? You can't ask for better. This will be our go to spot for sushi for sure.“

“We've enjoyed every roll, every appetizer, every visit. Left this afternoon planning a return trip on Friday.“

“I have been eating here for years and it's always good.“

“Don't let the rating fool you. This place is great! The staff always takes of me when I go in. I was there tonight.“

“Sushi was very good 😋 edamame green beans also ! Great service 👍🏼“

“My family and I came in on Friday afternoon. Around 5:30pm. Immediately we were welcomed with a smile. Our waitress was Alma. She was attentive, kind and very sweet. The salsa and chips immwdiately told me they had good food. Salsa was house made and fresh and chips were perfect. We ordered several items and everything was fresh and delicious. I ordered fried fish but it was perfect! Sushi was great and their baja fish tacos are to die for. We will be back.“

“Our favorite spot for sushi and sashimi😍“

“Great prices! While everything seems to be getting more expensive it's good to know there are some places putting out delicious food for a decent price. The rice is good thats what makes or breaks a sushi spot. We had the Red Dragon roll, Rainbow roll, Philly roll, California roll and some orange chicken all were really good. If you live in National city and want to stay in the area and have goid sushi this is a place worth stopping at.“

“I came here with my family, and was meet with the most perfect service and food. The food was so good, and the portions were huge for just a good price! I highly recommend coming here. I am definitely coming back here again. One thing is that we were seated right by the DJ and i couldnt hear my family talk. It was extremely loud.“

“It is my favorite ramen place, I always come here to socialize with friends, and I love how spacious it is. Even on a busy day it doesn't feel cramped up. Their food is excellent, both ramen and sushi.“

“Very good service and great food. We are planing to go back for lunch or dinner. The prices are Awesome, my Salmon was delicious and the salad all our food was good.!!!♥️ Thank you Del & Dora Delgado 🥰“

“First time to visit and the food was sooo good. I love the scallops the most. We had 14 person party and we were sitted immediately. Food was prepped and cooked in front of us, very entertaining for all. I felt that they wanted to make sure we had the best time. Thanks for making my family experience a good one.“
