This was the most amazing experience in my lifetime! Ken is amazing. The sushi is delectable, but the ambiance and the experience is second to none. If you like sushi you got to try this place, even if you don't, it's worth your time!

I truly can’t put into words how amazing the Omakase experience was at Ken’s. Hands down the best sushi I’ve ever had. Each plate was so different and had so much unique flavor, with fish that truly melts in your mouth. Our entire group was speechless. Don’t let the odd location/unassuming atmosphere fool you - this is the spot. I can’t wait to come back!

Ken’s Sushi Workshop looks like nothing, tastes like everything. You sit, the room hushes, and Ken starts conducting. He’s calm, gracious, laser-focused. No theatrics. Just warm rice, pristine fish, and seasoning that whispers instead of shouts. One bite in, you nod. Three bites in, you stop talking. Bring your poker face. It won’t help. Service moves at your pace. They talk with you, not at you, and they never hurry the counter. The only thing fast is how quickly you fall for it. Fish tastes alive. Cuts are precise. A brush of nikiri replaces the soy you thought you needed. Citrus shows up only when it makes the piece sing. Ken had a drink with us, told us a slice of his story, and thanked us for being there. Not a performance. Gratitude. You feel it in the way he watches the rice, in h

If you want probably the best sushi in San Diego and one of the best sushi spots I have personally experienced outside of Japan, this is it. Don't go here if you want to be able to continue to enjoy your gas station sushi.
