50 Best Sushi Bars near Lemon Grove

“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😃“

“Great food for amazing prices. Try to order things thay ate slightly differe and you will get an idea of the different 5astes. I've tried the soups, bento box, sushi,and miso and it is all really good. I honestly like it better than several places on Convoy“

“I ordered shrimp and cata's tacos 🌮.. the shrimp was good but the spices hide the shrimp flavor and it's in a fried cheese ( a bit heavy)

The Cata's taco 🌮 was too fishy to me! I took 1 bite and couldn't eat it

My friend liked her fish tacos!“

“Amazing omakase, friendly and knowledgeable staff“

“Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. Everyone was so friendly, kind, and welcoming, and you could tell how much care went into every single course. The food was honestly indescribable!!!! Every bite somehow got better and better. The quality, flavors, presentation, everything was just amazing. One of those meals you’re still thinking about after you leave. We will 100% be back!“

“the bomb.com! The atmosphere, the abundant amount of creative and delicious sushi options and dare I say the best fried garlic tofu! I love it here and will definitely be coming back! Shoutout to Sara who made this dining experience amazing!“

“Absolutely loved this place! Everything was incredibly clean, fresh, and delicious. You can tell the chefs really know what they’re doing—they enhance the natural flavors of the fish without bombarding everything with heavy sauces, which we really appreciated.

The fish was super fresh, and the menu had a huge variety with so many different options to choose from. Everything we tried was flavorful and well prepared. This is definitely our new go-to Japanese spot, and we’ll absolutely be back!“

“Chef TJ treats you like family! It’s the best Omakase experience my fiancee and I ever had. Whenever I have visitors or just want to treat my fiancee to a date, this place is best for all occasions. Here’s some photos of just a few of the things we have eaten there (there would be more but you honestly don’t want to be on your phone and just be in the moment…also it’s all delicious). Highly recommend this place!“

“I sat at the bar and was served by Jon. Jon was super attentive and answered every question I had. Roger, the owner, was making my sushi and sashimi. The service by Jon and Roger were absolutely wonderful. The food was amazing, fresh, and each piece perfectly flavor balanced. I will absolutely come back here and bring friends. I cannot recommend Hane enough. The whole staff was friendly and greeted most guests that walked in by name giving me the impression that this place has a lot of repeat locals.“

“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!!!“

“Best sushi ever, very friendly“

“We visited San Diego again and this is always a MUST GO restaurant/ experience for us. We love it!! We also compared it head to head against another omakase place in San Diego that had a Michelin star.. sushi maru is a better value and better experience overall. I am surprised it does NOT have a Michelin star yet.. it certainly will in the near future“

“This place is wonderful....Good Japanese Traditional Sushi and Modern American Rolls for the Non Japanese. good service and quality is good.“

“Family brought me here and it you are looking for some good food, come here. It was delicious! The service was awesome. I heard they have other locations as this place is small and sesting is limited but don't let it stop you from coming by. Sushi was fresh with great offerings, making and beer!“

“My wife and I recently found this place and love it so much we came back the next day. We got salmon nigiri, pho, bahn mi, soft shell crab hand roll and tuna nigiri.

We were a little skeptical when ordering the sushi since the interior isn’t the nicest looking, but looks are deceiving! The salmon, tuna, and crab were very fresh, and the portions were great as well! The pho had amazing flavor too. We asked for the meat on the side, and it was very fresh and delicious. The bahn mi is my favorite in San Diego, everytime I order it the bread tastes like they just made it, and the meat seasoning is crazy good.

The owner (I think) is very friendly and kind too, and always makes sure we get our food quickly!

Don’t let the old bad reviews sway your visit, this place has delicious and fresh sushi, pho, and bahn mi, for an extremely reasonable price which is hard to find in San Diego. We will be back regularly!“

“all is good!“

“Dope Spot! Had the Clams Sakamushi, healed my stomach from my mistakes of day drinking. The paired sake with it was fire. Vibes on point, aesthetic was awesome! Looked so cool and a fun spot for some sake! We rolled up 8 people and luckily we were able to get seats but took but the long side of the bar.“

“Straight 🔥 and delicious recommend for everyone“

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

“It’s a large store that has a bit of everything—from Japanese snacks to cosmetics and quirky items. The place is clean, and the service is friendly and attentive; I’d definitely recommend a visit—it’s worth it, because once you step inside, you’re sure to end up buying at least one thing.“

“Inspiring, creative menu that rivals the best menus in the world. Surprising affordable and unforgettably crafted cocktails. Entire staff is friendly, approachable and highly knowledgeable.“

“very good food and service“

“Great place to grab some sushi and ramen for the kids! They have the Japanese soda's the kids loved as a "special" drink. This is a must try secret sushi spot! You gotta have the amazing fried rice. Cheers.“

“Best sushi in San Diego at reasonable prices! Delicioso!!!“

“Sushi is great but try the non-sushi items rock. Try tue shishito pepper bao bun! Always delicious!“

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

“Great service Great food Delicious 😊😊“

“Overall a great omakase experience. Nice combo of both tasty traditional sushi (loved the chutoro and aji) as well as some fun courses (tartare puff and chawanmushi were great). Chefs are friendly and service was attentive. Definitely a pricy experience, but given the creativity and quality it is worth it.“

“After driving through four states (Utah, Arizona, Nevada, and California) and enjoying an array of different foods along the way, our family of four (two adults and two children) had the best meal of our entire trip here at Taiyo. Do not miss an opportunity to dine here. You will not regret it.“

“Clean store with polite staff and good quality sushi. It’s my go to when I’m feeling too lazy to make anything for lunch or if I’m shopping nearby. I also love that they are one of the only places around here that have zaru soba, and my husband says their baked salmon roll is his favorite of all time. The staff remember you if you come in more than once and have excellent service too!“

“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.“

“Always great food when I stop by #HWMYTastins #HWMY“

“I've had a great experience every time I've ordered from this place. The poke is always fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned.

Everything is well prepared, the ingredients taste fresh, and the overall quality has been consistently excellent. I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a good poke bowl.“

“Very fast service, friendly people. Delicious food especially the ramen.“

“I’m happy they opened up this spot, it is a bit on the expensive side for the size of the rolls, but appreciate the unique options and great service. I ordered the Salmon Lover, and the salmon tasted very high quality but I thought the roll was missing something like a crunch, it was a little plain for the price.“

“I love sushi and especially Rolando the person who served us, the best person!“

“Can't praise this place enough from Oyster Wednesdays to Tgif happy hour or just any time! Quality of food exceptional, priced just right & all the staff does everything right... the food, service, cleanliness & comfort.
Crazy enough my favorite spot to decompress even with my kids“

“Amazing spot! Open really late and has a VARIETY of menu options ranging from grilled, to REALLY fresh sushi. The chefs made everything to our liking allowing us to customize a lot about their food. The main thing is they are amazing in all aspects of their cuisines from sushi to grilled. Went here all 4 nights we were in San Diego would really recommend this place!“

“Amazing food while we were visiting the area. Best service and the food presentation was perfection. Portions and pricing are both outstanding. 10/10 recommend.“

“The food is delicious! I love their chicken kelaquen and the pork ribs. Their food is always nicely presented! Highly recommend if you're craving Chamorro food!!“

“When we lived in San Diego we were up the street from Obi's and we went at least twice a week. I still talk about it years later. If you are in the area definitely stop in its definitely worth the trip.“

“Food already great here 💕 🍣 🍱“

“We had a great time here tonight. The restaurant staffs and the sushi chef were friendly and the omakase dinner course portion was generous and super delicious. :)“

“The food was delicious overall, especially the grilled meat—it was definitely the highlight of the meal! The meat was incredibly tender and smooth, with a rich, natural beef flavor that really stood out.
The Tonkotsu ramen was also very good. The broth was flavorful and delicious, and the pork was tender, juicy, and not chewy at all.
However, the service could definitely be improved. The service felt a bit unorganized, and the staff didn’t seem to pay much attention to the customers. We had to keep calling someone over whenever we needed something.
Overall, the food was great, but the service experience could have been much better.“
