I just finished a quick working lunch here and I have to say that it was extremely good. The nigiri and roll I had were both excellent and the staff was kind and very courteous. The restaurant also has an amazingly authentic feeling atmosphere. I highly recommend.

My first meal after landing in San Diego from Boston
Highly recommend the see eel tempura. It was so good that we placed a 2nd order
Very happy with all the food - chicken thigh skewers, chicken meatballs, sukiyaki hot pot (for share), tongue stew, assorted sashimi, salmon skin hand roll and korokke
Will for sure come back

Overall, I enjoyed most of dishes but it might not be 5 star due to they were super busy with tables before us. Our dishes arrived super late due to high traffic but they did let us know the sashimi would be late. I will come back if I am craving for some late night Japanese food.

My friends in SD recommended this popular Japanese restaurant to us. The dining room had few seats, so there was a line even during lunch time. I could feel that our server was somehow pushing us. Speaking of their food, we tried several dishes. Curry rice bowl was my favorite. There was minced beef in the curry , which was fantastic with rice. Comparably, the curry udon broth was less flavorful by adding more liquid. The eel tasted a little dry. Miso soups were decent with soft tofu. Salads were mediocre. Their sushi bar was also popular. I saw some customers sitting there and talking with the sushi chef. All in all, their curry rice was one of the best ones I’ve ever had.
Vegetarian options: tofu

Best curry on the West Coast. Fresh, delicious sushi, grilled mackerel, tons of other choices. Get a Sapporo on draft and enjoy.

best japanese food on convoy!!!!! real actual japanese food
I spent 5 nights in San Diego in mid-November and went to Izakaya Sakura a total of 6 times, once for lunch and 5 times for dinner. Sakura's fried shrimp, pork soup, omelet rice, and pork shabu salad are my favorites.

The woman with red glasses has a very bad service and attitude for foreigner. She could say ありがとう御座いました to Japanese guests only, but she didn't even say to you if you are not from Japan. When she brought food to your table, she just kept pushing plate to your table, no patience. When you walked to restroom on hallway, she kept saying excuse me excuse me, just wanted to finish her own thing without being polite to customer. This is really not the polite impression from Japanese culture that we remember.
