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!

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. We had a fly bugging us cause they say us next to the window and the magnetic screen door was not in shape to work. I ended up catching a bee in the window also. Slowly but gently grabbed it with part of a napkin. Anyway, meh kind of experience.

I especially loved their sandos--the chicken katsu and egg sandos were both really good, and the fruit sando was a nice sweet option. They also have a ton of onigiri and musubi to choose from, plus poke and katsu rice bowls if you want something more filling. And the service was so good as well Definitely a hidden gem if you're looking for a quick and affordable Japanese meal in the area. There are so many options that I already want to come back and try more!

Parking 5/5 -Decent size free plaza parking lot…read more Service 5/5 -Friendly and efficient staff, you order and pay first at the counter then sit where you want. Food 5/5 -Combo plate with wasabi ahi and spicy mayo salmon, I opted for one scoop of rice and seaweed salad instead of two scoops of rice. I always get two scoops of rice and I wish I did this time as well, just overall more bites of rice and poke pairings feel more worth it to me. Poke is cold and fresh and tender in the best way, wasabi ahi is always my favorite, I love the sharp in the nose feel with the crunchy white onions in between, such a good flavor profile. Salmon was not fishy at all, spicy mayo is always a safe option. Strongly recommend as one of the most authentic and diverse poke options in San Diego! Ambiance 5/5 -Interior feels shades and cool, puts you away from the heat. No frills with a decent amount of seating, there are also other non-good goodies in the shop.

There's items from the island around the restaurant for sale if you miss having it from your travels. By being quick service and waiting in line, you can't see the menu variations until you're at the front of the line. Having to skim to poke options while everyone is waiting behind you can get very overwhelming to see the variations and add ons. The variety in the menu items are good, but the portions compared to other local poke spots are a miss for me.

She ordered before me and my friend and they served us our food and got everyone else in line, others but not hers. Very disappointing and upsetting when I let them know they didn't even apologize they refunded but didn't acknowledge their mistake. They seemed upset to refund her taco so she ordered next door and got her food from a Thai place in less than 5mins. Lots of places that have potential but places don't last long. Not much good places. Kikos was the spot. Ambiance is nice but they don't allow dogs.

Great service! I've been coming to eat sushi here for a while; long ago it used to be called Yi…read moreSushi & though it's changed ownership/name, my Daughter and I continued to come. This sushi restaurant is located in a huge shopping center and it has plenty of space, so don't worry about finding parking; you'll find one. The inside of the restaurant is pretty cozy, from every seat you can see the sushi Chefs working their magic. There's booth seating which is my favorite and regular tables in the center. The bathrooms are located in the back and is always clean and if you're in here for HAPPY HOUR and trying to catch a sports game theres a TV that usually have something entertaining on. What I like most about dining in is the music, it's not too loud and crazy and they have a pretty good playlist; it really coordinates with my happy dance as my food comes out. So if you see me in there, just know I'm excited for the food. The staff here are extremely nice, polite, and made this establishment very welcoming. The waiter knows my order and how my Daughter and I like our miso soup- so that already tell you we frequent this establishment often. The food comes out in a timely manner, beverages are always refilled, and though I haven't ordered the entire menu just yet- so far everything have been wonder! I can not complain, I come in hungry and leave full! Typical items that my Daughter and I order and definitely recommend is * Miso Soup * Garlic Edamame, the sauce is so flavorful and the huge slices of garlic gives it that extra zing. * Fried Calamari, great texture, nice crunch, good dipping sauce * Seaweed Salad, huge portions, great to share between 2-3 people * Sashimi Combo, fish is fresh, does not have that taste that it's been out for a while, you get a variety, and it comes with either a California roll or a Tuna roll which is great * Bento Box; we always choose the Beef Teriyaki- it comes with a Miso Soup or Salad, California Roll, Gyoza, and white rice * Crunchy Roll it has shrimp tempura, crabmeat, avocado, cucumber inside topped with eel sauce, spicy mayo & crunch on top and they're not shy about it. That's just to list a few items and the prices are reasonable, you're not breaking the bank and I have a few photos below but it does no Justice- you just have to try it out.

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.
