@kinmesd delivered a memorable experience for us. From beginning to end I was in awe with the attention to detail, precision and heart they put into every bite. There was never a moment we weren’t taken care of by the chef’s assistants. It was beautiful to watch a group of people work together, harmoniously, and the reflection that had on the food.
@kinmesd I will be thinking about this meal for a very long time. Thank you for making our anniversary dinner such a special experience.

Fabulous food and a high end atmosphere. Expensive but worth it. Ingredients definitely look and taste very luxurious and include excellent fish and wagyu.

Excellent quality cuisine prepared in a Japanese theme with great attention to detail. Amazing flavors in every course!
But the cost is over the top. I just can't justify going there again :-/

Absolutely outstanding! Every single dish at Kinme is a masterpiece, beautifully curated with flavors that harmonize in a way you can't experience anywhere else. I've visited numerous sushi restaurants, but nothing compares to the culinary artistry at Kinme. Chef Nao and his team’s creations are a true expression of top notch talent and passion. If you're looking for an extraordinary sushi experience, this is the place to be!!!

After living in Tokyo for almost 8 years, this is one of the best Japanese experiences. The C food is highly presentable and delicious. The service is amazing and authentic. I would absolutely recommend Kinme.

This place was very good. The wine and sake pairing was excellent. The service was amazing and the food was absolutely delicious.
Thoroughly impressed about everything. Make sure to take an after dinner stroll around Balboa park to fully digest this amazing experience!

My girlfriend took me here for a surprise dinner date. Easily one of the best meals I’ve EVER had!
Not only was the setting very intimate, the service was top notch…
Now on to the food… Every single bite was an explosion of different complementing flavors. The quality of the fish was as good as it gets and the chefs focused on making sure each dish was a unique combination of complimenting flavors.
12/10 restaurant, easily the best sushi I’ve ever had (even better than the sushi I’ve had in Japan).
I will 100% be coming back, totally worth the price!!
Can’t say enough good things. Food, sake selection, service, vibes were all incredible. Our chef is the owner and he has an immense amount of pride in what he serves the guests of the restaurant. This is our third Omakase experience in San Diego since moving here last year and it is the best one! Highly recommend.

The food at this place is amazing, I have been to the other 1 star michelin sushi restaurants in san diego and LA. The quality of the ingredients and number of courses is worth the price point. It probably is my favorite omakase in san diego. I'm very impressed and would recommend!

Excellent and best Omakase spot in San Diego! 3 hour experience and must book at least 1 month in advance. About $250+ per person.

Decided to make a reservation since I was in the area and kinme did not disappoint. I've been to a couple other omakase places in San Diego and kinme is the best one so far. The quality of the fish and service was excellent. They were offering their spring menu when I went.
Parking can be kinda difficult. I was lucky to found free street parking on 6th on the side of Balboa Park but adjacent streets, it looks like paid parking.
