    Funky venue with responsive staff and beautiful food. Our wagyu was replaced when the first serving was overcooked - the second effort was delicious. Fairly priced for the quality.

    The service is amazing. We were absolutely delighted with our meal. The presentation was stunning, and every bite was incredibly satisfying. We asked for a recommendation on a bottle of wine, and it was perfect for all of our dinner choices (lamb, ribeye & lobster). We truly had a memorable experience. We highly recommend this place for anyone who appreciates delicious, premium dining.

    We ordered the orange crush roll and the sea spider roll it was a fantastic pairing! The orange crush had the richness of the salmon and cream cheese, a touch of spice with the spicy tuna, and the crunch of the shrimp tempura. The sea spider added a touch of welcoming acidity with the sauce on top of the crunch from the soft shell crab and the spicy crab inside. The best part of dinner was the Chef’s Special 15 piece nigiri. The 5 pieces of toro was a beautiful touch. The quality of the toro was the best I’ve had in San Diego! Would definitely recommend for people trying to get some quality sushi for a good value, would go again!
