Emy RenglerSeptember 16, 2017If you like rolls that have been Americanized this is the place. It's not traditional but still a great introduction to the sushi world for your anti-sushi friends
Roger MaApril 25, 2015If you consider yourself a true sushi connoisseur, then the live Amaebi (sweet shrimp) is a MUST HAVE! Otherwise, stick with your Americanized "sushi rolls" :p
Good for a quick sushi bite + drink. They always have a good deal on a drink(s).
By far the best Japanese place I've found!!! Incredible miso soup! Delicious entree dishes! Awesome service!!- By far the best Sushi I've had in San Diego! Try the Gyoza, Monkey Ball and Yakitori!
Been going for the last 2 months. Good sushi and service! Best sushi in Hillcrest.
Shawn CaseyJune 15, 2010Happy hour every day from 3-6pm. Half off all draft beer ($1.50 pints and $6 pitchers) as well as house sake. Rolls are 30% off all the time.
around the corner from Ono Sushi if their wait is too long. good selection and never a long wait. not as expensive as most in the area.
Watch out for the Soju it is %80 proof and will knock you on your butt after a couple sips. But the rasberry wine is devine. Read more
Always has specials, sushi is always fresh and the staff is very very friendly!!!
- Ryan ReaJune 1, 2010As of now(5\31\10) they are offering 30% off on some of their sushi rolls... and they are really good to boot!
Enrique FioreApril 14, 2011Best place to come and enjoy a conversation, ps try the monkey ball, its delicious.
PainPoint.comAugust 1, 2011Not fun pulling floss from your anus... Will never visit this establishment again... I hope you are also disgusted with the thought of this wonderful floss in my seaweed salad.- Andy FieldsDecember 31, 2010There is a 50% chance this place served me seaweed salad with floss in it.
Nick LopezJanuary 18, 2011I'll be honest not so great and the service was very slow don't think I would come back
