    We had an amazing experience—definitely the best sushi experience in San Diego! The sueno roll was phenomenal and the citrus yellow tail sashimi was a must-try. The creative drinks and attentive service only made our night better. We can’t wait to come back!

    Sushi was limited in options and tasteless. Worst sushi I have had in a while. Loud club-like atmosphere which was odd. Too expensive for value.

    We were traveling from Seattle and Chicago. As vegan, we highly appreciated this restaurant had options for us that were not just salad. Food tasted good, portion size was good. Nice views. Overall, a great experience!

    The pre-set menu was not advertised on their site or through them before we arrived, and it was extremely pricey for the quality of food and size portions served. The drinks were all overtly sweet with more time spent on how it looks instead of the taste, the courses were hit or miss, and the desert was a “matcha cheesecake” that was a bland plain cheesecake seemingly from a grocery store with matcha powder on-top that arrived still frozen. Save your money!
