    Honestly everything I got was sooo good. The Yuzu Roll was my favorite, the flavors were powerful…read moreand the crispy onion on top made it even better with the perfect crunch. It all worked so well together. I also got the Hama Chili nigiri and it was super different, in a good way. The red powder was something different I haven't tasted before so I can't describe it. The fish was buttery soft. So fresh and flavorful. And the Baby Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice Cake was easily one of the best crispy rice dishes I've had. The ratio of spicy tuna to crispy rice was perfect and the portions were actually good too, which a lot of places mess up. Every bite was perfect. Everything tasted really fresh and looked pretty too. I want to come back with my sisters and see what they think

    My girlfriend and I have been to this restaurant multiple times and have always enjoyed it, which…read moremakes this experience even more disappointing. We ate here last night, and shortly after I started vomiting and dealing with diarrhea throughout the entire night. It was one of the worst reactions I've had after eating out. What's even more frustrating is that I tried calling the restaurant afterward to notify them and discuss the situation, but I couldn't get ahold of anyone even after leaving a voicemail. I understand things can happen, but food safety should be taken seriously, and the lack of response afterward made the situation even worse. Very disappointed after what had previously been good experiences here.

    We celebrated my birthday at Oku-Niku after a fun day at Theme park, and it was the perfect way to…read moreend the day with family! Making a reservation was very easy, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted right away and seated promptly. The ambiance was warm and inviting. The restaurant is a bit dimly lit, but it really adds to the cozy and upscale atmosphere. One thing I immediately noticed was how clean all of the grills were. We chose the AYCE option (around $55 per person), and the pricing for kids was very reasonable. Our 5-year-old was charged a reduced rate, while our 3-year-old ate free, which was a nice bonus for families. The selection of meats was excellent, with plenty of options to choose from. They do have a 90-minute dining limit and a surcharge for excessive leftovers, but that wasn't an issue for us because everything was delicious. The appetizer selection was surprisingly large. We enjoyed the beef fried rice, noodles, a sushi roll, crispy tofu, chicken karaage, and shiitake mushrooms. The crispy tofu turned out to be spicier than we expected, so just keep that in mind if ordering for kids. However, spice lovers will probably enjoy it! The chicken karaage was a huge hit with the kids, especially with the spicy mayo on the side. The shiitake mushrooms were also incredibly flavorful and well-seasoned. We also ordered crispy rice spicy tuna, we loved it too! What really stood out was the service. Every server we encountered was kind, attentive, and genuinely friendly. Instead of simply dropping off food and walking away, they took time to check in, ask how we were doing, and connect with us. That personal touch made the experience feel special. We only ordered water since we had already had plenty of drinks earlier in the day, but they offer a variety of beverages as well. For dessert, we tried the mochi ice cream special--two for $5--which was a fantastic deal. In San Diego, it's common to pay around $5 for just one mochi ice cream, so we were pleasantly surprised. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and are so happy we chose Oku-Niku for my birthday celebration. Great food, excellent service, a family-friendly atmosphere, and a memorable dining experience. We'll definitely be back!

    This place is good and the quality is consistent. Hot or Not?…read moreGreat wagyu cuts. Honorable mentions, that aren't obvious. Scallop Carpaccio : 5/5 bites, delicious juicy w/ a kick of that yuzu spice. Hot item Filet: 4/5 bites good Beef belly: 5/5 bites Crispy Rice is good ratio. along with other hot dishes, Truffle Roll: 4/5 bites I am not a "roll" fan but this one melts in your mouth! delicious/ it's Hot! Get the Yuzu Chousu ( def misspelled it) but the spicy wasabi yuzu paste 5/5 Yum Delicious cuts and variety for a nice price. Excellent service, If you're tempted to try but not committing to the din price tags try them for the lunch special. Parking may be tricky as the area is typically busy but we usually find street parking nearby, a nice walk is good after a AYCE. PSA/FYI: for Me -- "HOT" is not literal for spice/temp but for a Like/loveable item!
