    Best sushi in San Diego area. Hands down. Just go. Sit at the bar and order whatever is in. I'd eat here everyday if I had restraint.

    Great quality fish, friendly Japanese chefs, this place left me hungry for more... Definitely ask the chef for what's fresh for the day, his recommendations (not always on the menu) were stellar.

    Let the chef do the sushi. Let me make the selection. Yeah it's expensive, but if you are looking for a California roll go somewhere else.

    Sit down at the sushi bar and have an omakase where the sushi chef will prepare you what ever is good that day. It's the only way.
