Authentic, fresh sushi that’s hard to find. Best sushi in San Diego! You can taste the love in the food. Great energy & staff is excellent! Romantic ambience, great for date night or just a night out. Chef Nghi took the time to share how the restaurant receives such fresh ingredients. Refreshing to see the chef care so much about the dining experience.

We’d like to try something else than ramen and chicken karagee in convoy area tonight, i checked here on google and decided to give it a shot and not regret at all. Unfortunately we had to eat karagee again 🙂 because thats the only option for our 6 yrs old, don’t complain either cuz he eats chicken teriyaki. We arrived the restaurant around 8:15 it was half full at the time, has seated right away, we ordered 3 rolls and all was amazing, i have suprised how fresh and perfectly crafted the fish was, i could able chew it perfectly, they melt in your mouth. Combination of the rolls was great, it wasn’t overly riced. Chicken karagee also good, came hot and fresh, my son finished it with our help. Our waitress iseballa was very friendly. overall very good experience, restaurant start to packed after 30 minutes that we sat.

I came here last night with my husband and also some friends. Keep in mind, this is somewhat like a sushi bar, so I was surprised to have so many guests with me. We have RSVP for party of 8 (surprise birthday dinner for me). The food was amazing!!! The quality and presentation was superb!! I love that they have varieties of sushi for those that does not eat raw. We ordered a lot of food, my fave appetizer to share was the wagyu tartar and bone marrow and also the oyster. I love the ama ebi it tasted amazing!!!! The nigiri mix and the a5 beef nigiri was also delish. Honestly I lover everything that came out, lol. Everything was sooo delicious and I was very very full!!! I can’t wait to go back and try the other items. The staff were all so friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this place.

We’ve purchased several sushi boards from Nghi in the past and each time has been a different experience but the end result has always been delicious! We’ve also ordered his boxes from time to time and they are awesome! We’ve recommended Nghi to all of our friends and his sushi does not disappoint!

Started my food journey with @chef_nghi when he was head chef at The Joint in OB. Elated that he has ventured off on his own so that we can have direct access to his food masterpieces now. The sushi boards are beautiful and I’d say it’s the new charcuterie. Skip over the crackers and cheese and gimme that Toro! Beyond his boards and omakase boxes, we’ve had him cater small gatherings for us so I’d say the scope of his menu is far beyond whats listed. He can come up with some really amazing and unique dishes… I love being able to discuss my hosting needs and then know that he will come thru with a menu that will knock the socks off my guests.

My new favorite sushi spot! The Influencer roll keeps bringing me back here. Absolutist delicious. The sliver of apple inside that roll just brings put all kinds of lovely flavor. Bravo! Small, intimate setting, good, friendly service.

Sigh.. Where do I even start. Sushi rice is the most basic thing for any Sushi restaurant and this place just doesn’t get it right. Sticky, cold and way too much of it in nigiris.
