Stopped by on an evening during our trip; me and my partner got a Chicken Katsu Curry, a Chef's Special, and a Philly Roll. Only complaint with the food is that the curry could've been a little more flavorful, perhaps, but apart from that it was great. Loved the Bento box, and the Philly roll was great. Prices are reasonable, staff is extremely friendly.

This sushi and ramen shop is family-run. I was immediately drawn to their culinary delights on my first visit. I like their Japanese beef/chicken bento boxes, as well as various different set meals and sushi combinations. I personally think it offers good value for money. It doesn't have the luxurious feel of a high-end Japanese restaurant. It's a budget-friendly option suitable for students, working professionals, and tourists. This restaurant is located in a gay neighborhood and has been open for many years. This is my favorite Japanese restaurant on my first visit to San Diego. Authentic Japanese home-style food. A shop frequented by locals. Recommended.

My mom ate here 20+ years ago and has always got the same order! She says it hasn’t changed and it’s so delicious! Came here twice in two days. I love that you pay first and then get served. The food was so fresh and yummy. Service was also great!

Love this place. I live just a few blocks away and have been making this my go to local sushi spot for years. Not the best in the world but consistently delicious with an assortment of other options, like ramen, katsu, Bento boxes, and so on.

Delicious! We recently returned to San Diego and met a friend for a birthday dinner. The food was fresh and delicious and our server was very attentive. Can’t wait to come back!
