One of the best restaurants in gas lamp of San Diego. Living in San Diego, we rarely have occasion to come to the area. Most restaurants are over priced tourist traps with mediocre food. You will not find that here.

This is a high quality sushi restaurant. The fish is always delicious. The omakase is quite good with interesting selections. The staff is knowledgeable and courteous, and they aim to give you the best experience.

Definitely recommend...

We enjoyed our fabulous meal here especially the fresh and flavorful yellow tail Kama. We were grateful the attentive waitstaff offered the half portion of sashimi so we can try different selection.
This restaurant is worth revisiting.

Update - was back in town, went again, and it was amazing again. I can't recommend this place highly enough.

The Spanish mackerel, blue fin tuna, uni, and even the amaebi (sweet shrimp) were terrific, among numerous other nigiri we had.

Outstanding! The best unagi I've ever had. Nice sake selection. We ordered numerous rolls, nigiri, and even teriyaki... Everything was superb.

If I'm ever in town again...
