Amazing fresh fish! Matt the owner made the experience really fun, he’s from Hawaii and makes authentic Hawaii style poke. I would 100% recommend

This is a must stop when you’re in the area. Coming from Seattle and thinking I had had great sushi up to this point come to find out. I hadn’t had good sushi until I came here today. Do yourself a favor and make this your first stop.

My partner and I came here on a quick whim for a delicious bite to eat! The owner was extremely friendly and makes BOMB rolls!! Supporting small businesses is extremely important! Definitely work the stop, loved sitting outside!

Love the sushi here it’s the only place I get sushi from. Well worth the price, plate feels loaded. The flavor just melts away and brings me back to Hawaii (my happy place). The staff are always so polite and doesn’t take long to get your order. There is tables inside and outside, it’s really nice and the vibes are always great. Thank you for having the best sushi in town!!!

So sad about my sushi Burrito! Its NOT a burrito, its just a roll thats NOT CUT! It ruined my date night idea. The rolls are NOT BURRITOs. You guys suck! Dont ever tell me that your burritos are the best, and I get this dinky ROLL, thats not CUT is your version of a BURRITO!! Im so Pissed!

Went here for the first time on Sunday with my friends after Comic-Con ended. We arrived around the last hour, but Matthew was very kind to take on our orders nonetheless. I ordered the Godzilla poke bowl (ahi tuna, salmon, and blue crab) and it was delicious! One of my friends ordered a sushi burrito and that looked yummy too. Matthew was the only worker that day in the restaurant, but I was impressed by his friendliness and how quickly he worked. Not only did he take our orders, but he prepared all of our dishes and served them to us. I definitely will come back here the next time I’m in San Diego!
