Great food, affordable prices, and a super clean place with friendly service. The key in this business is consistency, and this sushi bar truly delivers. Every meal is colorful and beautifully presented--like a fiesta on every plate. I can't say enough about how wonderful the staff members are. The team running this sushi bar is doing an excellent job. The ambience is great and always welcoming. I also noticed that several people order the online party plates to share in their offices, which is a great idea. There is also a large selection of beer available. Thank you to the management and staff for maintaining such high standards! read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while and, sadly, it was only okay. The Japanese Mule was really enjoyable and the Tuna Cucumber Bites appetizer was my favorite dish. It had a really nice balance of all the ingredients and had a light, fresh flavor. The miso soup was average, but the ginger they gave was some of the worst ginger I've ever had. It definitely wasn't fresh. We tried the Halloween Roll and the Baja Roll. Both were mehh and we couldn't taste the spicy tuna for either of them. They both lacked flavor and there was nothing impressive about them. Also, the Halloween wasn't as nice looking as the picture. read more

More of take out joint than sit in and eat but service was friendly. Casual, modern place in Old Town San Diego. I had 3 types of sashimi appetizer and it was decent. My daughter ordered house special hand roll and it was just ok. She'd thought she'd get something special but it was basically the salmon & tuna hand-roll for additional $2 didn't see the difference. read more

No complaints except when you are paying that much for sushi, maybe nicer surroundings? That said the food and service were both 5 stars. I got the Baja roll and the little sliver of lemon on top was perfection. The spicy tuna and salmon skin hand rolls were delectable and everyone else seemed to enjoy their rolls as well. They even had gluten free soy sauce and worked with me on my ordering to avoid wheat. read more

I came here to have dinner with a couple of friends for girls night. They had a kiosk inside where you order your food and pay. I ordered the summer roll and paired it with a michelada from next door at Elote. They only have outdoor seating. read more

I ate at Fuego Sushi while attending a conference in Old Town. The restaurant is located inside a food court, which made it convenient for a quick meal. The food course is across the street from the historic park. I tried the rainbow roll and the mango roll. The rainbow roll was my favorite of the two. Both rolls were decent, but the rainbow roll stood out a bit more in terms of flavor. Overall, not a bad spot if you're looking for sushi in the area, especially if you want something quick and easy while at the food court. read more

All I can say is that Fuego Sushi is the place to go for sushi. We had gyoza, seaweed salad, and edamame as our appetizer. For dinner we ordered the caterpillar roll, dragon roll, and the TNT roll. All the ingredients used on our sushi tasted fresh. It was unfortunate that we found this gem on our last day visiting San Diego old town. read more

The service was good. The food was ok. The sushi roll in itself was eh. The tuna on top of the roll I did not enjoy. I wish they had more drink options. Maybe I am a bit snobby since I have been to Tokyo. This place is 3 stars... read more

Fuego Sushi has opened on the north facing side of the Old Town Urban Market. The setup for this business was that you ordered from a tablet outside the entrance and then take a seat under the covered patio. A worker would then deliver the food/drink to your table. There was no physical menu sheet to view the offerings nor was there a QR code to link to an online menu. Either of those options would have been an enhancement to minimize the wait to use the tablet. I think my visit may have concurred with their grand opening as there seemed to be a lot of customers in attendance who may have been family or friends with the owners. My order consisted of a Baja Roll, an Oh So Fresh Roll, and a Chef's Choice Hand Roll. While I sat at a table, a worker brought out a couple of complimentary ahi tuna tostadas. The wonton crisps that served as the base were very crunchy. The Baja Roll was spicy tuna and cucumber topped with tuna, salmon, lemon slices, and cilantro with a spicy ponzu sauce. The Oh So Fresh Roll contained kani, cucumber, asparagus, and avocado topped with tuna and micro cilantro. A ginger eel sauce and ponzu were squirted on top. The hand roll had both salmon, tuna, avocado, and cucumber inside the conical seaweed wrap. The first two rolls were cut into nine pieces and plated beautifully. The Baja was the better of the duo because of the multiple fishes included. Imitation krab, cream cheese, and shrimp tempura were prominent ingredients in many of the offerings. Sashimi was limited to three types while there were only two choices of nigiri (salmon, tuna). I also noticed just two appetizers were available. Based on the variety and quality of the items, I gave a three star rating for my meal at Fuego Sushi. read more

We arrived at 6pm today 6/13/25 for our reservation we made online only to find out that they had ran out of sushi and they were closing up. We are extremely disappointed since we were not informed before we arrived. We were very unhappy to say the least and staff acted like they didn't care which made matters worse. We live in Old Town and will not recommend this place at all!! read more

Went here on a Friday night (10/25/24), with some friends, and the atmosphere and space were super cute and inviting. It was decorated out for Dia De Los Muertos, and the staff were very friendly. We ordered the Halloween roll and the California roll, along with the Sho Chiku Bai Nigori. Both of the rolls were TASTY! And the Nigori was so smooth and sweet! It paired very well with the rolls. The server for the night was Gladlys, and she gave excellent service! She was super nice and answered any and all questions that we had, and was very knowledgeable about the food and drinks! The chef (wish I had gotten his name) was also really kind and friendly. Highly recommend coming to this spot. 10/10 all around!!! read more

Fuego Sushi is incredible, from the food to the service to the ambience. Upon to walking in to the cozy patio, the restaurant is nice small and clean. Which made me feel very welcoming. My husband and I were right away greeted by very friendly, profesional service and were explained the menu as well as the happy hour specials. The menu had plenty of options and pictures as well, I love to see what I will order. We ordered a couple of sushi rolls (Baked Lemon Roll,Fuego Roll, Jalapeño Roll and Mango Roll) All of the rolls were delicious, as they were made with very fresh ingredients, excellent flavors. This makes Fuego Sushi my most delightful most favorite sushi restaurant. I will most definitely be returning. read more

Fuego Sushi is a place where if you want good and chill vibes, this is the place to come. The menu offers a wide selection of fun and flavorful combos and the service overall is so welcoming. Friendly and inviting is the exact vibe that I love when trying new restaurants. I had the tempura roll which was really good with the flavors all blending perfectly. For dessert we had the mochi ice cream which was so refreshing and the whip cream was such a good combination. I would highly recommend coming here if you want to get away and vibe. read more

But hands down the sushi was some the freshest and best we have had in San Diego. We also ordered a lot of food and it was not very expensive quality was exceptional. I highly recommend it. read more

We went here from the Hillcrest farmer's market and was initially apprehensive since we thought it might not really be as good as the reviews said they were. Old Town has a lot of tourists so we weren't expecting great food. We were surprised how good the sushi were. They're bit-sized sushi but all of them tasted great. We especially liked the cooked rolls, so we ordered more of them. Service was great and very quick. We really liked the location and how it was connected to a few other shops like a shared space. It was nice to take a walk around Old Town afterwards and take in the sights. We would definitely come back here and maybe try also the other shops near it next time. read more
