Saki Sushi & Grill has become my go-to sushi spot near home! They have such a great selection on…read moretheir menu, so there's always plenty to choose from. I'm also pretty picky when it comes to the rice-to-filling ratio on sushi rolls, and they get it spot on here every time. The rolls have the perfect amount of rice without overpowering everything else. The staff is always super nice and welcoming, and my favorite sushi chef here is Blas! They also have a really good happy hour menu, which makes it even better. I believe happy hour is all day Sunday and Monday, and from 3-5 PM on the other days. Definitely one of my favorite local sushi spots in National City!

You can really tell they put thought into combining traditional Filipino flavors with modern Asian influences.

My family stopped in today for a late lunch (around 2:30 pm) so the place was empty except for us…read more The lady at the counter took our order promptly and she later brought out our food. Water was self service but she did make sure to check in on us a few times. The establishment had a decent amount of seating/tables. They were the tall ones. I had the pork belly rice bowl whereas my husband and kids got the waygu burger, adobo bowl and chicken karage bowl. The waygu burger was done perfectly - juicy with a pretzel bun. The pork belly and chicken karage were tasty as well though I feel like the rice could have been a better texture/consistency. My son was just ok with his adobo bowl - he wasn't super fond of the consistency of the egg on top. Overall though, very solid spot to order food from.

Coming from Fukuoka, I'm pretty picky when it comes to tonkotsu ramen. I have my go to for that,…read morebut would go to Beshock from time to time for the very great sake selection. Honestly hard to find a place with so many choices and very reasonable pricing. My most recent visit I saw that the menu was changed completely and that they were serving tori paitan. I never had it before so I had to try it and it was delicious! You still get a very similar mouth feel of a creamy tonkotsu ramen, but it just doesn't sit as heavy. I think scrapping a menu that they've had for years is a bold move, but I see the vision. They're bringing a different style of ramen that you won't really find anywhere else here in San Diego. Would highly recommend being open minded and giving it a shot. Also would recommend ordering it with hard thin noodles. Workers are also always very friendly and knowledgeable about the sake so definitely ask for a recommendation to pair with your food.

I had no idea Nobu was a Japanese-Peruvian fusion restaurant. News to me. I've been curious about…read morethis (Nobu) restaurant for a while. Unfortunately the general prices for their "high end sushi" just don't make sense for us; especially living so close to the Pacific. However, we decided to visit recently for their Bento Box special (available through Labor Day). And I'm so glad we did. First off, hellllllloooooo Hotel Del, the moment you step on the grounds you feel those vacation vibes. It's just you know, everyone else there is on vacation, from all over the world, and you live here and so I mean yeah let's try to pick on the vibe, let me get on the vacation mindset. Alright the restaurant. Beautiful outdoor seating. Just wow. Woody, navy blue, white, like nautical vibes, super clean cut. Makes you feel like you are on a boat or something. The music playing, the sun shining, a glimpse of the ocean. The Del in the background. Simply just cool. Our server and the service were great from the moment we arrived. We started off with water, and my husband had a beer. The beer poured into a beautiful pilsner glass; it looked refreshing and perfect. Moving on to the food: - Started off with Ahi Tuna Tacos- meh, just meh, no flavor, the crunchy stuff was wack, and just like why are you making these? Come on Nobu you are so much better than this! - Bento Box: Alright the bento box was amazing. I mean OMG. I mean so much food. It comes with: Matsuhisa salad- OMG the dressing was so good! Something in it tasted very refreshing, possibly the sesame see oil and or maybe even the mustard. I was getting ponzu taste notes. Uramaki- a inside out roll (3 pieces) ok- nothing special Nigiri - (3 pieces) salmon, tuna and a white fish. Rock shrimp tempura- ok Black cod miso- delicious, a must. Steamed rice & vegetables served with a spicy garlic sauce- I _____thought it was kimchi- but it was not. _____Miso soup- yum, and actually good miso soup, served with two _____perfectly squared tofu pieces. There was a couple next to us who ordered full price items, my spidey senses knew they were going to leave unhappy, given their portions and big bill. Unlike us, with out "smaller bill" and I mean I could barely eat all of my food, given the portions of the bento box. Oh well. Thanks Nobu for the great experience at your restaurant. I likely would have never dined here but thanks to your Summer Special/Bento Box deal we did. Would I come back for full price sushi menu? Highly Unlikely. I am happy I got to try the Bento Box? Absolutely.

Don't be alarmed if Google Maps gives you confusing directions. Just walk inside, then make your way to the back area past the sports bar. Kalbi Plate was solid.

Donburi Rice Bowls: What a gem of a local food court, located inside a non-descript low detached…read morebuilding. I chose Tonkatsu Curry at Donburi Rice Bowls. The crew was great. I took advantage of the 10-minute wait by walking around & studying the overhead menus of the other kitchens. I'll be back! It's the real deal. Pork tonkatsu, not chicken. The karei (curry) is thick, hot genuine Japanese, not the weak watery stuff of adjacent cuisines. The rice was very slightly dry but that was remedied by the curry poured over it. Even the salad (I generally dislike eating plants) was made delicious by the dressing.

Cant remember what they're all called but they were all good and would 20/10 order them again. Ambiance was also wonderful! But what made this place even better was the staff. We were promptly sat down upon arriving. Servers frequently checked on us and were all so nice. But what really stood out was their empathy. Like i said, my son knocked out. He's 5. He woke up as we were leaving. by the time we figured out what was really upsetting him (he wanted to stay there and eat and wanted the table we were on), we have gotten out of our table and obviously the table was then cleaned for the next guests. So basically my lil one cried, took him to the bathroom bec unfortunately we dont get everything we want just bec we cry. So we went into the bathroom for him to cry his feelings out and be ready to get out. Was he loud? Absolutely. Was i embarrassed? Yes. But it was a lesson he needed to learn and i didnt want my discomfort to hinder that. (Mind you the bathroom was in the middle of the stairs lol midway the lower and the upper floor). So was i ashamed to get out? Yes. But the staff, so empathetic. So nice about it. Told me i didnt need to apologize and that they get it. And that made me feel better as a mama who walked out of there carrying a 5 year old out their door. No judgy stares. Just smiles and understanding eyes. So july 18 2026, 4-5pm staff, you are all so amazing and we truly appreciate it. We hope to be back again when in the area.

Bottom line: 10/10. If you know what authentic Thai street food is supposed to taste like, this…read morespot nails the flavors while executing a brilliant concept with their sticky rice buns. Food: Moo Ping (BBQ Pork) & Spicy Pad Krapao (with fried egg): Spot-on flavor profile. The sticky rice bun holds together well and captures the essence of classic Bangkok street eats. Takeout test: We picked up five extra burgers (Spicy Jaew BBQ Chicken and Chicken Satay) to share with friends back in San Clemente the next day. The signature sauces carry the flavor, and the quality held up remarkably well overnight. Value & Portions: Substantial portions at an accessible price point. Also, keep an eye out for the Thai Loaded Hand-Cut Fries--the dine-in portion is served on a massive tray and looks fantastic. Service & Logistics: Peter provided stellar service, taking the time to break down the menu options for us. Parking is straightforward with ample dedicated space. Vibe: While we took ours to go, the indoor space had a steady lunch crowd. Even without central A/C, natural airflow kept the room comfortable and relaxed. A must-visit if you are in San Diego.

My friend wanted to try this place, and I'd seen their food truck around before, so we gave the…read moreactual location a shot. IMO, I think this concept works better as a food truck: The location felt pretty hidden near the highway with a dive-bar vibe, but honestly, I was mainly there to catch up with my friend anyway. Food itself was really good! I got the bulgogi bowl, although I was surprised my "bowl" was actually a huge plate! The portion also felt a little small for the price, maybe because of the size of the plate itself. Biggest downside: it was a HOT day and there was no AC, which made sitting inside pretty uncomfortable. If I catch their food truck somewhere, I'd definitely give them another try, but next time I'm going for one of their main menu items!

In response to Paulina A.'s one-star review, I was at the restaurant the night you and your family…read morewere being very rude and harassing the staff. You claim that you "were being treated differently because we are Mexican", when in reality all that happened was one of the staff members spoke to you in Spanish because that is the language you had been speaking all night. And since a huge portion of San Diegans know Spanish, they were in no way treating you differently. Another detail you failed to mention was that, by the time your waiter kindly informed you that would he be needing your table soon for an incoming reservation, you had already been at the restaurant for hours and had been finished eating for a very long time. And the manager even gave you yet another hour on top of all this before she had to resort to calling the police to escort you off the premises for trespassing. But hey, at least you got your free meal out of your horrendous behavior. I am extremely impressed by the professionalism and kindness every single staff member showed even while they were being verbally abused by one family. And not to mention the fantastic food we enjoy every time we come here!

Had the Teri Salmon bowl. The bowl and serving was a bit small. The salmon was cooked well! I wish they had a better sauce. It felt like it was out of a bottle. The entrance and cashier area have a few small tables. I didn't notice right away there was more seating (large areas for groups!). There's three large cc tvs in the large room.

Ok- I have a lot to say about this spot, so buckle up…read more First, the aesthetic is immaculate. I love that the space is so big and open, and how they have little stations for pop ups. It's the perfect place to have community events! Also, the decor with the vinyls and speakers is so nice. Staff were super friendly and made great recommendations. I ended up getting the mentaiko pasta & a half sisig, half bulgogi NY pie. The pasta was DELICIOUS. No notes- the sauce was perfectly creamy yet light, noodles were well-cooked with a springy-bite, and the mentaiko flavor was just right. Bravo! The pies could used a bit of work. Firstly, the sisig pizza was ALMOST PERFECT. I'd put it at a 9.95/10. You know what would make it better? Hear me out- a light drizzle of sinigang glaze. The pizza is perfectly thin and crispy and the flavor of the pork belly is spot on, it just needs a TEENSY bit more contrast since the calamansi cream is so subtle; the pizza came off as a bit too homogenous at some points. Same thing with the bulgogi- it was a bit too salty and overpowering for my taste, but if y'all added some korean pickled radish on top or on the side, it would be perfect! Overall, I loved this place and will become a regular! Might bring my own kimchiand sauces next time though
