    Based on my experience, I think “Sushi Ota” is the best sushi restaurant in San Diego because it uses fresh fish and creative cuisine presentation. We ordered the Chef’s choice and we explained to Yoko, our sushi chef, what kind of fish we like.🐟

The chefs are clearly passionate about their craft, and their attention to detail shines through in every bite. The service is impeccable—friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations if you’re unsure what to try.

    I come here every year to celebrate my birthday with my family. Excellent quality as fresh as can be, excellent service and very polite, atmosphere is either nice and quiet or low depending on how busy. If you don't go here, you are missing out, seriously. Though pricey, so come here for important events and such. I have been coming here my whole life and I am going to say that this is the best sushi place I've ever been to. 11/10 every time. Perfect. Everything is perfect down to the last minute detail.

    The dining experience was excellent and all our dishes were fantastic. The kitchen made an error but our server Miwa recovered well and provided stellar service, even offering us complimentary dessert because of the mishap. We’ll be back very soon!
