Outstanding service and food. Their head chef is very experienced with previous work in Japan. May be one the best restaurants in San Diego, with an exceptional view. Follow the signs/drawings in the parking lot to locate the restaurant since it is more isolated than the other popular places in the complex.

We have been eating at Japanese restaurants for decades in USA and in Asia. In fact, we live in Singapore. We like to sit at the sushi bar for an omakase experience. The chef did not disappoint! He had many unusual items from Japan that were excellent! Even old standards had a fresh feeling to them. We ate till we couldn't eat more! We will be back for sure. One of the best sushi restaurants we have eaten in the USA.
