We were walking through Little Italy, looking for a place to eat. We weren’t even sure what type of restaurant this was, but we decided to check it out. I am so glad we did. Great decor, great food, and great service. It was happy hour, so we ordered off that menu. Sushi rolls were fresh and unique. Drinks were Japanese inspired takes on classic drink. Everything was delicious! The service was great. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. We were well taken care of even though it was busy. I cannot wait to go back.

I want to start off by saying that the restaurant itself looks amazing! The ambiance takes me back to Japan. The food looks and tastes delicious, as well as their cocktail drinks! I would definitely recommend the short rib tacos (egg roll style) and any of their specialty rolls. For drinks, my favorite was the dragonball tea.

The food was great and the drinks were even better! Very lively atmosphere, but not too loud. Tables were a bit small, but the seats were very comfortable. We got a table for 2, but they also have larger tables. Great customer service as well.

Came here because my friend saw this place on instagram and wanted to come. It looked so fun on Instagram. We walked up and the outside was kind of meh. We got to the host and three different people walked past before someone came to seat us.. The first thing you see when you walk up is the bar which is beautiful and well put together. There’s two giant Japanese Cherry Blossom trees in the bar and it’s just so pretty.

Wow. This place has one of the coolest artsy atmosphere. From modern graffiti, huge neon signs and even a mural of Godzilla. This place is decorated top to bottom. Even the stairs to the bathrooms were not left out. See my photos for more of the atmosphere.

Food: Extremely americanized, tailored specifically for the whitewashed bougie San Diego crowd. Any hint of the Japanese tradition is left on the wall with the Gundam and Japan themed decorations. I would not recommend this to anyone that is looking for good sushi, this place isn’t it. Please review the menu before you head out, these plates are trenched with sauce and you will barely taste the fish or the rice.

I had a wonderful dining experience at this sushi restaurant. The service was friendly and fast, and the food was delicious. I recommend getting a seat next to the window for a great view. Highly recommended!
