“Definitely expect a wait unless you arrive exactly at open. This restaurant is the turn & burn type. They are very fast at getting tables seated. We waited around 40 minutes for a table and it was SO worth it. The gyoza was so crispy and delicious and the sushi was very fresh.
We can't wait to come back here. One of my favorite hidden gems in SD!!“

“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!“

“We were actually trying to eat at another restaurant in the same plaza but couldn't get a table for Friday night (all tables there were already booked for the entire night). So we ended up here. We weren't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the uni and ikura rice bowl which came with miso soup, fried tofu, and pickled cabbage. Everyone else ordered other items (poke bowls and chirashi bowl). We all thoroughly enjoyed the food. My favorite were the dishes with tofu, you can tell it was freshly made. Even with the miso soup, it was so soft and silky.
The restaurant itself felt homey and something you'd stumble into in Japan. It was a little small/tight, but we had enough room to sit comfortably. The staff were all very nice.
I'd definitely come back again.“
