Reviews

Always delicious and fresh. The best Sukiyaki in San Diego. A real traditional Japanese restaurant. Salmon bento has a nice variety of side dishes. The tempura is nice and has a light batter.

Best sushi restaurant! We love every dish, the sushi and the sashimi is incredible as well as the desserts.
The restaurant is very clean and the service is awesome! Highly recommend!

This is quite easily the best sushi restaurant we’ve eaten in since moving to San Diego years ago. The fish is fresh. If you like sushi that’s inventive, tasty and fresh consider Samurai!
