Super fast service. Didn’t seem too busy as they just reopened after having partly burned down. Happy hour is from 4-6pm on most apps which was nice. Sashimi was super fresh and big servings. Garlic edamame was fresh thick garlic bits which I appreciated. Gyoza was just solid. Sushi was all very good their crunch roll was different from most with batter all the way around the roll, was great. Was $95 after tip for a feast for 2 people. Quality experience I’ll be back!

One of the best sushi in San Diego! It had caught fire a year or so ago and have been waiting for the Reopening, which was last week, and everything is as good, if not better! Highly recommend!

This is my first time at this restaurant.
I heard it recently re-opened.
The sushi and sashimi were so fresh, everyone loved it.
The newly renovated interior was clean, and the staff were very friendly.
If I get the chance, I'd love to come back again with family or friends.
