Woh! Our original server never checked in on us. I mean, that’s basic serving 101. Positive: Tasted great. Negative: I ordered a dish that I never received. It was on the bill so we had to get it removed. I didn’t receive the item that I ordered. I received a second of what my date ordered instead of the actual dish I’d requested. I mean, if I don’t care what it is that I’m eating, like, sure I’ll eat this random thing that I didn’t order, then fine….. it’ll work for you. It was tasty but feels pretty awkward that I didn’t get the meal that I wanted, ya feel me? Also, the music was loud. Like literally when we walked by again later, we thought that it had become a club. Nope, still just the restaurant, but looouuuud the music. [sic]. Overall: It was a sh*^ show re service, but the food tasted great!! That’s the only reason for any stars. But seriously, they ignored us…. That’s bad!!! Also Re atmosphere: this is the only sushi place I’ve ever been to that didn’t have seating at the sushi bar. You can Only sit at a table. 4 ⭐️ food 1 ⭐️ service. Wow. Just wow! ?\u200d♀️

Great sushi! The price is reasonable and the staff is super helpful and polite. They are very good at recommendations without forcing you to buy anything that you don’t want. I wish I remember the name of our server. Next time I will ask and I will update the review with his name. Unfortunately I can’t respond to other people’s reviews but I have something to say to those who refuse to tip their servers. I’m also from a country where tipping is not a common practice, but I’m a U.S. citizen now and I believe the most respectful thing to do is to tip the person who is working hard, makes your dining experience better and accommodates all of your ridiculous requests. It is not mandatory but it’s polite and it’s expected. If you can afford to eat out and spend that much money while someone else is taking care of you then you are expected to afford the tip, especially if you are a regular guest to the restaurant. If not, then stick to fast food chains where tip is not expected or even better - cook at home.

The food was delicious and you really can't beat the price. The appetizers and rolls are all such high quality and so tasty. Half off rolls when you dine in, and $39.99 all you can eat every day! We definitely got our money's worth and we're extremely happy with the sick feeling we walked away with after stuffing our faces more than we should have. The beer was cheap too! Pro tip: park in the underground parking (under the theater) and get your parking ticket validated.

This will be a long review because I need to share a lot of updated information for people who might be confused. 1. All you can eat is back! 2. It is limited to 2 hours from the time the first order is placed (so you can't have a friend join 30 minutes in and reset the timer) 3. Although the order sheets only have three rounds of ordering on them, they will give you a new sheet if needed as long as you're in that 2 hour window. 4. It is $39.99, 5PM-10PM M-Thur and ALL DAY Fri-Sun. 5. The half-shell oysters and carpaccio are limited to a single order per person. Understandable, and it's noted on the menu so no surprises. I've put the AYCE menu as part of my review as it obviously isn't their entire offering. Everything I ordered was amazing. Full of flavor but nothing overpowering.

The food was sub par at best.. the food from the kitchen was oily and greasy and cold the sushi took so long to get to us after the chefs made it. it would sit on the counter for atleast 20 mins per order.. it now makes sense why they Validate your parking pass for 3 hours.. so service wasn't good and food wasn't good the atmosphere was dirty, bathrooms dirty. I wouldn't come back here unless the price went down to 20$ per person for all you can eat and they made it so not every single person at the table had to get AYCE. I shouldn't have had to send my mother to another table just so me and my father could get AYCE.

Never again. Waited to be seated. Told from across the room ‘u can sit at that booth’. Never provided a menu. Had to signal the server who said ‘u want something to drink?’ Still no menu. Decided not to stay. Asked for the manager and directed to a young Asian guy who clearly was not the Manager and in my frustration related my experience. then 2 guys come up to me to whom I began to retell and was interrupted with ‘thank u, good night’. Went to Ortega where I was greeted, felt welcomed and treated like a paying client.

I came here for the first time later in the night. I ordered the miso soup, baked mussels, calamari tempura, fried oysters, double crab, and Jenna roll. Everything was really good! It’s very reasonably priced as well! They even gave us complimentary shrimp tempura. I will definitely be returning.

Had a great meal here last night. Great value. Every roll we ordered was delicious. Great atmosphere and service. Happy we found out go-to neighborhood sushi place.
I hadn’t visited this place when it was RB, they just changed owners and did a little remodeling. The sushi was good, presentation was very nice, they had an awesome special since they had just opened. The service was the best. I can’t remember her name but she was very kind and attentive.

They stopped doing all you can eat due to an ownership change. However, the food was amazing and Cindy was very attentive and nice. The presentation is pretty too. I took some home for my husband and he loved the Alaskan roll.

Outstanding Restaurant. Easy to find and squeaky clean inside. Appetizers and drinks come out in a timely manner. Food will be worth the time it takes to prepare. I have nothing bad to say about this establishing. It was a soft opening and I'm sure they will get the kinks worked out.

Beware if you order online! I found this restaurant online in google maps and ordered online. The website that I got redirected to placed my order at another RB Sushi location 20 minutes away in another part of San Diego. No refund, no transferring my order to this location, just a "sorry" from the waitress.Just be careful if you are ordering online.

Frozen. Clunky, Underwhelmed, expensive .Just moved to sandiego and where I'm from sushi is an experience/ art/ flavorful/ Dainty, for the price this place charges... the atmosphere was giving "school cafeteria" super bright, sticky tables... food was giving busted presentation with mediocre flavor, it was giving frozen / Un thawed/ mushy/ scrap pieces. Most things we seen that "looked good" where fried n covered in mayonnaise. If you're looking for "fresh" look elsewhere .
