Small intimate setting , legit cuts of fish fresh as you can get. Can’t afford it everyday but if you want to treat yourself to a great Omakase this is hands down the best spot around San Diego.

Service is great and considerate . We had omakase menu, which includes various things ( nigiri sushi, sashimi, soup, desert) it's pretty much enough for me. It's worthy of the price, not surprised Michelin star rated restaurant

Went for lunch and got the omakase, it was incredible. Expensive, but the unbelievable food and unique experience justifies the price for a special occasion. Every bite of fish was unique, fresh, and tasty. Shrimp and scallop sashimi were out of this world, same goes for the marinated tuna. Even dessert was delicious. No wonder dinner reservations are so hard to get!

Wow! Definitely a must visit in San Diego. Super fresh fish and a really cool atmosphere. Highly suggest a lunch reservation at the counter. Or any reservation at the counter so you can watch the artistry of the chefs there.The parking lot has minimal spots available for this restaurant so leave a little time to find street parking. Also if you go on a weekend or after 5pm, you can charge your EV in the nearby caltrans parking lot and walk over (10 minute walk through beautiful old town).

Everything is very fresh and authentic. I did the omakase course and wasn’t disappointed. The place leans more toward the traditional Japanese

Food was good , but the value isn’t close. There are other comparable sushi restaurants at half the price.
It’s a hobby of mine to try different Michelin restaurants and this was definitely not comparable to the other one star establishments I’ve enjoyed. There was actually a piece of bone in one of my sushi bites and I have never experienced that before. I did think the Chilean Seabass was outstanding.

Very kind workers. The setting is good. We got the sashimi omakasr. The mackerel is the best I've ever had. And I loved what they did with the fried head and body. But, in terms of the other fish, I wasn't really impressed. There are much better places at this price point.

How this place is Michelin starred or liked by so many people is mind boggling. If it had not been for the deposit I had to pay to secure the reservation, I would have turned around and walked out upon opening the door and smelling the rancid fish smell. My family owns a seafood market and I've been around fish my entire life and I have seldom smelled such overpowering and bad fish in my life. I kept waiting for the set menu items to get better and to actually be wowed by some food but they got progressively worse. I don't think I've ever needed to eat ginger between plates before but at this restaurant I had to in order to salvage the next serving from the last one. Of the set menu of 25 or so items I could say only three to four were even good, zero were great or exceptional, and the rest were just flat out bad. If it hadn't been for the very friendly and good service I wouldn't have tipped at all. I've been to some restaurants that were overrated but we're still good, but this is not that kind of restaurant. This is overrated and not good at all. I struggle to even think of any sushi I've ever had from any other restaurant that was as bad as this one, and the only Sushi I can even think of that comes close is random Supermarket sushi, most of which is still better than this sushi. Shame on all the rest of you for propagating this fraud that this restaurant is good let alone special, I blame you all as well for this terrible experience. Even if this was free I'd never go back, so save yourself the time and money and go somewhere else please
