Small, cosy. Quick, efficient service. Reasonable prices. Packed, so very popular. We had 3 delicious hand rolls & tempura.
Loved all the selection, Edamame was out of this world! Delicious.
This is definitely a favorite spot! They’re always consistent with their recipes, and the staff is consistently wonderful and welcoming.

Ikiru Sushi is a popular sushi restaurant in San Diego offering a variety of fresh and delicious sushi options. The menu features items like fried octopus, bento boxes, and spicy miso ramen, all highly praised. The sushi rolls are beautifully presented and well-balanced in flavor, with the Stardust and smoked salmon nigiri being particularly recommended. Diners have also enjoyed the uni and yellow tail sashimi, tuna blossom, and jalapeño hamachi sashimi. The fish is very fresh, with the hamachi otoro melting in your mouth. The restaurant's small size and limited seating can make for a tight dining experience, especially since it fills up fast. While the fish is generally fresh, some diners have reported issues with the quality of the wasabi. Service is great, attentive, and timely. Many guests praise the authenticity and freshness of the sushi, especially the Salmon Skin roll and live uni, which can be quite spicy. The small eating area can be noisy, but the atmosphere is intimate and lovely, with servers described as very sweet. Prices are a little high, but the quality and freshness make it worth it. Ikiru Sushi is a solid choice for sushi lovers, offering high-quality seafood dishes and a welcoming vibe.
