Incredible food, atmosphere and the chefs are very attentive to questions. I suspect they will be busy for some time, as I already am planning to come back.

Came here on a Saturday night. Place was busy. Most of the dishes were good. Servers were overall great. Main issue is that food comes out a bit slowly so there can be a wait between dishes. We sat in the patio but somehow diners inside the restaurant who sat down 2-3 dishes after us, caught up and finished before us. Overall took 2.5 hours for the Soichi omakase. There was a heater on the patio if needed which was nice.

I think it might be the best sushi I've had in sd. The takeout box is a budget way to eat their sushi.

Too many fascists. I prefer my sushi places support their community, not the rich that are dismantling the country.

Can't stomach eating here if they serve the likes of JD Vance.

Soichi was amazing. We got the nigiri omakase (plus more) and all the fish was delicious. Totally understand why you have to book months in advance to get a reservation. Highly recommended!
As of this review, Soichi is a 1 Star Michelin restaurant.
This star is well deserved! The sushi is phenomenal. You would be hard pressed to find as good, even if you were in Japan. I dare say that there is no better in all of Southern California.
The staff is friendly and professional. The sushi chef and owner is amazing. It’s fun to sit at the counter and watch him prepare each bite.
The restaurant itself is not is the best area, and parking is hard to find, but the effort is well worth it.
If you are in Southern California, it is worth coming here. You will need to make a reservation well in advance.
They have both an omakase menu as well as a la carte - so you will have the best of anything you choose!

This place is truly phenomenal. A masterful culinary experience from start to beginning. The quality of the seafood is unmatched for any other place I’ve been to in San Diego.
All round super experience - worth every penny. The fish was super fresh and such a great variety was served. It's nearly impossible to get a reservation - we got very very lucky.

Wow, what a cute and deceptively fancy sushi spot. We had a gift card for this place, and had to make reservations a month in advance. We each got the full course dinner (forgot the name of it). It came with 3 plates of some of the best sushi I’ve ever had along with some soup and ice cream. The sake was also delicious - I will add that our servers were extremely friendly and willing to discuss the different sake options with me. If you need to impress someone or want to go on a fancy date night, then look no further.
It's a difficult reservation, but worth it.
