I absolutely loved this authentic little Japanese restaurant. We came in right at opening and the shop quickly filled up. They have onigiri, tempura, grilled skewers, and more. Everything was tasty and true to taste. Their udon dish was one of my favorites and the roasted green tea they served was delightful. Come check it out if you can!

Wa Dining Okan is a hidden gem in San Diego’s Kearny Mesa neighborhood. This cozy Japanese restaurant offers a unique izakaya-style dining experience, with a menu featuring a variety of small plates and traditional Japanese dishes.

I sit outdoors and there are flies flying around. The skewers have extremely small portions. (Outrageously small). The urchin rice is nothing special (I wish there was more rice). The eggplant+taro dish is something special but I didn’t like the taste (personal opinion).

A friend booked this restaurant for dinner tonight. We had clams, scallops rice, duck soba, yellowtail collar. Everything tasted delicious. Friendly staffs and great service. Definitely will come back again when I come to San Diego.

A good Japanese restaurant with variety of offerings. I had fried soft shell crab, rice ball in broth with cod roe and grilled salmon belly. I enjoyed the grilled salmon while fried soft shell crab could been better if it was less greasy. I’m looking forward trying other dishes next time.

As a local guide, almost level 6 at this point, I must say that the food here was very authentic and delicious. Their turlet is a frickin toto washlet (bidet)

Lovely Japanese diner food that begs for a drink along side the food. Lots of great stuff to order that keeps you coming back. I love order lots of small things to try and each time something new. Been here many times and will continue to return.

My wife and I have been coming to Wa Dining Okan for ten years. It has been excellent every time! When we lived in San Diego, it was a staple of date nights, and when we moved away, we always make it a priority to come here on visits. The best stuff to try: the pork rice pot, ume hi-ball, the chicken karaage, wait actually everything on the menu is good! You can’t go wrong!

I ordered the sukiyaki combo for lunch. The portion is just right. The taste is authentic. The raw octopus with wasabi is a bit too salty tho.
