Came here for our anniversary dinner and we were not disappointed. The food was amazing but the service was really what made the experience. Rachel made us feel like we were part of the family. We went for the full Omakase experience. Started with sake flights and ended up moving to bottles after. We originally sat at a table inside, than they offered us a spot at the bar when it opened and that really elevated the experience. Can not wait to come back again and do it all over.

This was possibly one of the greatest food experiences of my life. I’ve had seafood and sushi my whole life and this was everything I hoped for in a omakase sushi bar experience.

Absolutely loved it? The staff was great, so helpful and nice! The food was delicious. We had 2 petite omakase and ordered some extra nigiris. The toro nigiri was incredible, my favorite. We have the matcha ice cream and the sesame ice cream and both were great. We also ordered the plum wine. The restaurant is small but super nice. I can’t wait to go back and get the full omakase experience

Soichi is not our first Omakase experience, but it is the first one in San Diego that we have had. And what an amazing experience it was!

Amazing experience. Definitely get the omakase, worth the price. Reservations are tough to get, and deservedly so. Every dish was flawless and perfectly fresh, and the drink list was very extensive. It’s great that they will let you sample sake before ordering, too.

I was super excited to finally get a Soichi reservation. You need to make sure to get a reservation right at noon on the first of the month. We had the full omakase and we also enjoyed a bottle of sake with our dinner. Everything was amazing. The sashimi plate was edible art. It was great sitting at the sushi bar watching everything being made. Incredible!

We had the most wonderful time at Soichi. We shared the Omakase and ordered a salmon roll on the side. Everything was fresh and delicious, and the dining experience was something we will never forget. We wish it was easier to get another reservation, we will have to try again next month! If you are looking for next level sushi at a reasonable price with great service, Soichi is the place to go.

You really have to be online at 12p when they open reservations on the first of the month. I LOVED my experience here, and it was well worth the wait. The Soichi omakase is the go-to 7 course experience, which includes a few cooked courses and a dessert. Nigiri came out in 4 sets and a variety of fish and flavors, but the egg custard was my fave course!

Had a wonderful date night here for my anniversary. The location is a quaint and comfortable size with attentive staff. The service experience was amazing, and watching everything being prepared from the bar was mesmerizing. The talent and skill on display was impeccable. If you’re a sushi lover do yourself a favor and make a reservation!
