Amazing little sushi spot, highly recommend the grilled oysters, nigiri mix plate, and any of the specialty rolls

Outstanding Mother’s Day omakase dinner with Ni, Ronald, Kay and Emily. We been to some great award winning restaurants around the world, but Ju Ichi stands out because of the care and passion that is evident in the menu and quality of the dishes that Ni and crew create and execute. We’ve been to JunIchi several times but the omakase for Mother’s Day was particularly outstanding. The menu was modern and creative but in keeping with classic taste profiles of traditional Japanese. It was simply delicious, the presentation was world class and the service was excellent. I go to Japan a lot and I would put Ju Ichi up against the the best I’ve been to. We will definitely go again. Thanks Ni, Ronald, Kay and Emily for cooking for us as if we were family, great work!!!!

We had the Sunday Omakase experience. To put it simply, WOW! 🤩 🤩🤩
The best Japanese food I’ve ever had, including having spent time in Tokyo.
The food is thoughtful, exactingly executed, and sublime. 11 courses, many of which featured multiple components (so this is more like a 25 course / piece menu). Most dishes were prepared with fresh seasonal fish flown in from Japan. You simply won’t find this selection of sushi and sashimi nearly anywhere else. And next week some items will be different based on what is freshest in Japan at the moment.
I tried to remember to take photos as the courses came, but sometimes got too excited and forgot. Sorry! Will give you an excuse to go try it.
My wife was celebrating a major birthday, so they gave us and everyone a complimentary shot of sake at the end. Very nice of them.
You must try this gem - one of San Diego’s best!

Food was phenomenal and they had a great variety in selections of different dishes. The yellowtail crudo was our absolute favorite but even the more classic dishes like the salmon skin roll were done really well. Would also recommend the grilled oysters, or hashtag and bestie rolls. Service was solid and all of the staff was extremely friendly and laid back.

Sat at the sushi bar, the chef was awesome (she), we enjoyed all of our food. Definitely upscale sushi, with lots of unique things to try.

We went there with my husband on Tuesday. Entire evening was memorable, customer service is above and beyond and dish presentation was impeccable. I thought it will be our new favorite place to go... I had food poisoning staring the same night and entire until day after. And now Thursday I am barely walking and drinking some tea, I felt so awful I thought I was going to die. For a place with such a high rating and solid reputation it was a hell of aftershock...

Not a large restaurant and reservations are necessary but very worth it as they made it a special evening. All dishes were super flavorful like the gazpacho, the mushroom salad, and different rolls. The karrage was prepared perfectly imo. We will be returning.
Good music, great service, and absolutely amazing sushi. We were looking for a quick and easy sushi dinner and got exactly that. They are efficient and we loved watching the sushi chef craft the sushi platters like magic in front of our eyes. 10/10! We finished our two sushi plates in less than 10 minutes.

Great place and friendly service. Small though so wouldn’t recommend going with a large party.

I gotta try it again. So far I had a great experience and I want to gatekeep their happy hour. I haven't wanted to gatekeep for a while. It's not the best sushi, but it is much better sushi still at the cheaper price point.

Absolutely wonderful food and service at Ju-ichi! Each piece was beautifully plated and the food was up to par. Didn’t have one bad piece of nigiri, each dish was fresh and some of the most outstanding I’ve had. To top it off service was great! Water was attentively filled and the sushi chefs were friendly and funny. I was truly impressed with the level of attention and skill each piece was made with, even the dessert.
