    Miso Soup
    Andrea M.

    This place is great! I wish If I could give a 4.5 stars I definitely would! The restaurant is cute. I love the color scheme that carries over to the bright colored dishes. They have a great variety of dishes. We had the small house salad, miso soup, mix tempura, shrimp tempura roll, crispy crunchy roll, and the Lion King Roll. Everything was super yummy and made with quality ingredients. I liked the twists they had on some of the standard rolls. They were creative without being too much. The rolls were amazing and the shrimp tempura may be the best I've ever had. It was cooked perfectly. We were so full we did not have room for dessert. The service was great. Our server was on top of it and friendly. On top of everything the prices were very economical.

    DELICIOUS! We got a nice sampling of rolls, noodles, and appetizers. Everything tasted fresh and had wonderful flavor. The service was great. We were the only people in the restaurant, so they were attentive but also gave us our space to eat and talk. The restaurant is small but has good seating. They were burning a very Smokey smelling incense when we came in and that smell kind of bothered me but I was able to get over it for the delicious food!

    Just a random find. While in the area for another reason. The service is great, quick and very attentive. The ambiance is very quaint. The food was better than I could have imagined. The rolls were HUGE very well stuffed w spicy tuna and nice cuts of albacore and tuna for the dishes we selected. 10/10 highly recommend this spot if you are in the area.

    Food was delicious the service was great and the place is clean. The prices and portions are very reasonable I will definitely be back to get some of the items we were eyeing.

    Udon Noodle Soup
    Marcus B.

    Love this place, best sushi in Tierrasanta! PROS: Decor is very nice. They always have pleasant, applicable music. There's a TV that has the main sporting events on. Nice drink selection. Plenty of indoor seating. It's always organized and clean in here. To- Go orders are always ready in 10 minutes or so. Some of our favorites: udon noodle bowl, spicy crispy roll, lemon roll, crunchy roll, and chicken teriyaki bowl. Also, the waitress and chef are always quick, polite, and attentive. CONS: None

    Crispy crunchy
    Arnold T.

    The place could use some designers' touch. Maybe watching some HGTV could help them. Sushi is very decent. We liked all 3 rolls - crispy crunchy, Las Vegas and Kaki. Served at the right temperature so the rice was soft. The rolls are fairly big. The kaki roll was interesting. The crunch comes from the inside of the roll (panko fried shrimp) instead of the outside like the crispy crunchy. Service was also decent.

    Large Sapporo  ($5.95, good price)

    This place was good. The beer was a good value All the rolls were delicious. The kaki and Las Vegas one was my favorite. Service was really fast and friendly also. Not my favorite sushi place but definetly better than most. You wouldn't be disappointed eating here. Not a bad value either. Tasted fresh and delicious.

    Kaki Sushi is located at the end of a strip mall in the Tierrasanta neighborhood. I visited during the pre-pandemic times and was able to enjoy a meal while dining in. The dining room is not very large and could seat roughly a couple dozen customers. A good chunk of the business was from take-out orders as folks kept coming in to pick up their food. For my meal, I ordered two hand rolls (eel and spicy tuna) for $3.95 each, a Mango Roll (California roll with yellowtail on the inside, mango cubes and scallions on the outside) for $9.50, and a Summer Roll (salmon, hamachi, tuna, imitation crab, avocado and gobo on the inside with a cucumber wrap on the outside) for $9.50. I am always fond of riceless sushi because it is less filling so the Summer Roll was my favorite of the bunch. The quality of the seafood was middle of the road while the prices were reasonable. I gave my experience here a 3.5 star rating.

    Tuna Roll Philadelphia Roll Spicy Tuna Roll

    The review is for the service and value if the food. For tierrsanta you only have a couple sushi options. Although I enjoy both, kaki packs value in their sushi. Great prices, good amounts of fish, and friendly staff that keep you coming back. All their basic rolls are amazing and good to grab to go for quick dinners/lunch etc. The ambiance is a normal little sit down. Straight to the point. Phone order ahead of time if you're scooping up to go! My favorite basic rolls are the tuna roll and Philadelphia roll! Their special rolls are also off the chain! Try them all.

    Kotobuki - Sashimi bowl. Delicious!

    No notes. We had: - Delicious, perfectly battered tempura…read more- Delectable sashimi bowl. Sushi rice was perfectly prepared; I tried not to finish the whole bowl (I usually have leftovers with chirashi) but it was hard to resist. - Negitoro and Fatty Toro nigiri. Prepared so everything was very tender and melted in our mouths. Kotobuki at dinner time had one very hard working server also manning front of house, but we never waited very long for service or felt rushed. Simple but comfortable ambience with clean, modern interiors and plenty of space between tables. We are thrilled to have found this place and will be back!

    Kotobuki is an understated sushi restaurant in a suite at the western end of Kearny Mesa's Hazard…read moreVillage. It's operated by a husband-and-wife team without much fanfare as I rarely have seen the business mentioned when it comes to sushi in the SD area. I do worry that its location is not very visible when you are speeding down Clairemont Mesa Blvd. It might be a reason why this place is so quiet and seldom filled to capacity. After exercising at a nearby gym, I came for a late lunch and was their sole customer at the time. Parking is never an issue at this plaza so I got a space near the front. The place can hold about a couple of dozen customers with another four more that can be seated at the sushi bar. The interior decor was clean and simple which was also reflected in their menu. The offerings have definitely been tweaked since their grand opening several years ago. Some varieties of fish were no longer featured, and I noticed more combination choices. For my meal, I picked a Rainbow Roll and three kinds of nigiri... toro, scallop, and eel. Everything was prepared by the owner who is the sushi chef. Even with the impact of inflation, the prices remained very reasonable while retaining fresh quality fish. For example, where else can you find two pieces of fatty tuna for only $11? Most competitors will charge that much for just one slice of otoro. The Rainbow consisted of tuna, yellowtail, salmon, and avocado wrapped outside of a California Roll. A minor deduction would be that the sushi variety wasn't as extensive, and you won't find any rare fishes served here. Kotobuki is definitely worth trying if you appreciate a no-frills approach to sushi. I gave a 4.5 star rating for my latest visit to this hidden gem.

    WOW!! This place is legit! Happened to be in this area and was looking for great place to get some…read moreomurice and stumbled into this little gem of a place!! First, street parking only but don't let that deter you from coming coz every inch or foot that you spend walking to this place is all worth it. Secondly, love the ambiance. Reminds me a lot of those ikazaya pubs in Japan but a little more chic and modern. They have bar seating of about 10 and 6-8 tables inside. But they also have outdoor seating. So I came at exactly 11 am and I was the second guest and they sat me at the bar. By 11:30 am, the entire resto was full, not granting it was a Saturday morning but people prolly got smart to come here early before the lunch crowd gets bigger. So for the food, I had to order their Hayachi Omurice and Chef Soichi's Chicken karage and both were BOMB! 11/10 each! Love the flavor of the rice and nice touch of thin slices of meat and the egg was perfectly made. I just wished there were heapings of those egg. The sauce was slightly tangy but love the flavor. The other star of my meal was the karage. Prolly the Top 2 karage I've had. I liked how they sliced in lengthwise and there not too much coating. And it wasn't oily and very juicy inside. Well seasoned and it came with lemon wedges and kewpie mayo. All I did was sprinkle some Nanami Togarashi for an added umami flavor. Overall, this should be on your top 10 restos in San Diego. Service was excellent, the servers were all friendly and always smiles!! Kudos to you guys!! I'll be back for sure!!

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.

I sat outside and it was actually lovely. The miso soup was good. The blu fin nigiri is so fresh and delicate! The roll I can't remember which one it was put it had jalapeño on top and was a bit heavy. This place is perfect for a solo date or date night! I will be back for the blu fin!
