Absolutely incredible! We have dined in with Chef Nghi and have ordered their Epic board for take out and every time it has been nothing short of incredible. We’ve tried just about all the high-end sushi spots in San Diego and we’re always left impressed by chef Nghi! Not only is their fish so fresh and their rolls fun and creative but the service is top notch! I highly recommend Ju-ichi!

Only in town for 1 night and ended up here of all places.
This is coming from someone who is NOT super sushi adventurous. Very delicious food, enjoyed the basic options I had of Cali roll and Chicken Karaage. However, my wife had an exquisite order of many different dishes and said she loved every last bite, I tried many of the things she ordered and yes they were definitely way above my expectations.
Super recommend if you need a sushi stop.

I had the pleasure of celebrating a friend’s birthday here, and we reserved the Omakase bar for a private experience. From start to finish, everything was outstanding. Each dish, from the tapas to the sashimi, was crafted with incredible care and flavor. The service was warm, attentive, and truly elevated the evening. This spot is an absolute gem—I can’t recommend it highly enough and will definitely be coming back!

Second time visiting this hidden gem and just as fun as ever! Sat at the bar and enjoyed the banter with both Chef Nghi and his staff. He recommended several excellent sake pairings for our sushi. Love the small personal atmosphere, highly recommend for both newbies and seasoned sushi lovers!

Amazing service and fresh fish
I loved their selection of special fish that they had, that usually cannot be found everywhere else. The handroll, nigiris had amazing texture and flavors to them. Definitely will be back every time I’m in San Diego.
I would love to try Chef’s Omakase next time!

I would give this a 5 star but I went today and they are closed 😢. Not sure what happened and no clue when they will reopen. The chef was amazing especially with the omakase. Staff was also very cool creating a friendly welcoming vibe.

The service was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming.
The food… **WOW!** Every bite was a delight. The sushi was incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. The fish melted in my mouth, the rice was perfectly seasoned, and the creative rolls were a delicious surprise. Don’t miss the chef’s specials—they’re worth every penny!
Ron and Jose were amazing. Their recommendations were phenomenal and the sashimi, nigiri, and rolls were outstanding. We kept ordering more food until we couldn’t eat anymore. This place is a gem and I’m already planning my next visit.

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!!!!
