    Bluefin Lover Roll, Crispy Salmon Skin Salad
    Viv N.

    My family's comfort spot!! As regulars, we've frequently dined in and gotten takeout for casual meals or special occasions. It's our go-to restaurant when we're not sure where or what to eat. Quality and taste are consistent, fish to rice ratio are perfect, and you know the food is authentic when you see an all asian staff. Our favorites are the lemon salmon roll, rainbow roll, and their sashimi. We are also HUGE fans of their salmon skin salad - they seem to be the only place that has perfected the crispiness and savory flavor of the salmon skin. They've increased their prices over the years but not enough to deter us from going!

    We love the fact the staff remembers us and our favorite table. We love to go during happy hours for the beer and specials. The sashimi plate has some of the best cuts of fish. The Takoyaki is one of my favorites. The ambiance is relaxed, welcoming and modern. The staff is wonderful. I even forgot my vest when we were leaving and Kim ran out to the car to give it to me. We shall keep returning.

    Tried out this sushi restaurant since I was in the area. It was very packed on a Friday for dinner. My friend order sashimi, takoyaki, some nigiri's and I got the chirashi bowl and uni/ikura handroll. The fish was very good and fresh and beautifully presented. Although it took along time for my food to come out, the staff was very friendly and attentive and checked on my food (and us) multiple times. After paying for the bill, they gave us complimentary ice cream cones. Overall, this place was very good and love that there's plenty of parking. Definitely will be back again!

    Sushi were delicious and very yummy. This Samurai Roll and Super Dragon Roll. Friendly waitress too. Wonderful experience.

    The oysters that gave me food poisoning

    Got food poisoning here. It was most likely from the oysters. I ate one, thought it tasted a little off... and then proceeded to finish the dish anyway. Within an hour, and for the next 10-ish days, I paid the price. Never again.

    O Sushi had my family crawling back here in less than a few days after discovering. Rolls are hefty, fish are fresh, and the quality has been consistent! I came here TWICE in one week because of how satisfied I was the first time. Normally when I order sashimi from other places, I get slivers of fish. But O Sushi? They give FAT chunks! So that really justifies the price that I'm paying, which is a huuuge win in my opinion. I love how stuffed the rolls are too. Rice is perfectly cooked, not too mushy, and has the right amount. Fish literally melts in your mouth, and I've never had a fishy fish here. Service was really slow, I think I waited around an hour for takeout. However the food makes up for it so it's not too bad! Try coming when it's not too busy.

    ...first time back to @osushiandgrill in over five years. always thought the quality was good but we stopped going because the service was inconsistent. tried again tonight and pleased to learn that ownership changed a few years ago and happy to recommend as a local option. bento box dinner portions are impressive. this is my chirashi don set on an ai generated marble counter

    Came her for dinner with the fam while visiting San Diego. The food was fresh and yummy and the portions were decent sized. I was surprised at the size of the salmon kama! We ordered: Beef bulgolgi/salmon roll bento 4/5: Decently priced with an egg roll, 2 gyozas, salad, miso soup, and entrees. The portions were large and the salmon inside the roll was a decent size. Not those skinny leftover pieces of salmon. The bulgogi was all right. Didn't taste like anything special, could have been costco! chicken teriyaki/tempura 5/5: Again, the portion size was surprising! Loved the onion ring that came with the tempura! The chicken was tender and the pieces were large! The tempura had a good batter ratio which is sometimes hard to get right. charashi bowl: I didn't try it, but my DIL said the pieces were very fresh. The cuts of sashimi looked like they were sized well! Nice, bright spacious spot to grab a bite to eat, but what put it over the top was celebrating our DIL bday there. We asked if they did anything for birthdays and the waitress said yes. Thought it would just be a scoop of ice cream but it was a bigger surprise than that! If you want to embarrass your friends or loved ones, come here to celebrate!

    Post tennis hunger pangs got to me and the problem is that most places dont stay open late. This place is open until 9 which is almost unheard of around these parts of scripps ranch. Definitely a family place in the area. Hosts even came out to sing happy birthday to another table and created a really happy and lively atmosphere. Seems like a good place to hang out and be. Pricing was average for the our three rolls and one soup. ($85 as of Feb '26) One was the Toro Roll so it was more of a premium roll and totally willing to dish out for that. The Toro was fresh and just the right marbling. Sometimes the Toro can be overwhelming. The soup was hit the spot but wasn't anything to write home about. All an in all its a great japanese place to go if it is getting late and you just want some good fresh sushi.

    Salmon Special
    Dung N.

    We came here over a year ago, back in March. We shared the omakase box, salmon special, crispy rice tuna, a rainbow spider roll, edamame, and miso soup. The presentation of the omakase special was so pretty! The fish was really fresh and I liked the variety. Everything else we got was tasty. The salmon special was also great, however, I would have liked it prepared in different ways. It was just either sashimi, nigiri, or in a roll. Overall I had a pleasant time here. Service was great in the beginning, but when it got busy, we can tell the staff was a little bit stressed.

    Chicken Katsu Curry Entree
    Christina T.

    Decent place for sushi/Japanese food in the Scripps Ranch area. We got a variety of their sushi options, and I ordered a chicken curry katsu. The plate was massive, but it's mostly rice and curry, not as much katsu as other places. The katsu was very well made though, incredibly plump cuts of juicy chicken and perfectly crisp. The curry was a bit on the blander side but was fine since there was a lot. I think their sushi is more what people come here for, and my partner noted that they had pretty good fish quality and quantity in his poke bowl. The inside is nicely decorated with Japanese decor, though we opted to sit outside as it was a nice day. Service is mixed. While the owner is relatively accommodating, she can be a little gruff in giving instructions, and we had to write down our orders on a slip and walk it in ourselves because no one was coming out to check on us for a long time. Free ice cream at the end of the meal though!

    This is one of the OG sushi spots in San Diego, and I've been coming here on and off for decades…read more It had been quite a few years since my last visit, though. With so many new sushi restaurants opening around town, it's a little out of the way for us, and honestly, I had almost forgotten about it. I'm so glad we decided to come back because it's every bit as good as I remembered. I made a reservation for the sushi bar, which is always my favorite place to sit at a traditional sushi restaurant. Instead of ordering my usual rolls, I decided to splurge on the Chef's Choice nigiri. I also asked the chef to serve each piece one at a time rather than bringing everything out at once. I love taking my time, enjoying each bite, and watching the chefs work, which is another reason I prefer sitting at the counter. The Chef's Choice was absolutely worth it. Every piece was incredibly fresh and beautifully prepared. My favorite was the aged toro, which had been aged for three months. It had such a rich, buttery flavor and completely melted in my mouth. My husband ordered a few specialty rolls, and he was very happy with both the quality and the generous portions. I also upgraded my regular miso soup to the clam miso soup, and I'm so glad I did. The broth was delicate and flavorful without being overly salty, and the clams added a wonderful sweetness. Even though I was already pretty full, I couldn't resist ordering three pieces of tempura after seeing them come out for another customer. I rarely order tempura in the U.S. because it's often heavily battered, when authentic Japanese tempura should be light, crisp, and delicate. If you've ever been to a dedicated tempura restaurant in Japan, you know exactly what I mean. This tempura was surprisingly close to what you'd find in Japan--light, airy, and perfectly crispy without feeling greasy. For dessert, we shared the green tea Basque cheesecake. It leaned a little on the dry side, but I still really enjoyed it because the matcha flavor was rich, bold, and not overly sweet. We also had a chance to chat with Akira-san behind the sushi bar, which made the evening even more enjoyable. The hospitality and attention to detail really reminded me why I've always loved this place. With so many trendy and expensive sushi restaurants in San Diego these days, this restaurant continues to stand the test of time. The quality of the fish is outstanding, the atmosphere is authentic, and I honestly think the prices are very reasonable for what you get. It's a classic for a reason, and I'll definitely be making the drive back more often.

Booking was easy through their website. When we arrived around 6:30, and there were still a handful of open tables so reservations may not always be necessary, but it's probably still a good idea. Our server was phenomenal and really elevated the experience. She gave great recommendations and even let us sample both the Cabernet and Merlot when we couldn't decide on a bottle of wine. We ordered a variety of dishes: * Spicy Edamame: very flavorful, but definitely on the spicy side so be warned if you're sensitive to heat. * Fire Fire Roll: light and fresh fish, but the seared salmon flavor didn't really stand out. * Orange Roll: also light and fresh, but I didn't really pick up the citrus/lemon zest element. A bit underwhelming compared to expectations. * Salmon Belly Nigiri: very fresh and a favorite at the table. * Crab Roll Special: generous portion of fresh crab. * Yuzu Cheesecake: served with three spoons to share. It tasted like a classic cheesecake, pleasant, but I didn't really get a distinct yuzu flavor. The space is cute and conveniently located in a shopping center with plenty of parking. Overall, the atmosphere is laid-back and comfortable. While the rolls themselves are fairly simple and not especially standout, everything tasted fresh and the service was excellent, which made the experience enjoyable.

It is not surprising as this Michelin 1 star since 2021 is quite the tiny, yet comfortable setting that continues to get high praise. Unlike several of the other Michelin guide or Michelin Star sushi establishments, they offer more than just Omakase. While the do offer Full Omakase for $189, Nigiri Omakase for $140, and Petite Omakase for $65, they also allow you to order nigiri, sashimi along with multiple other specials and cut rolls. On our first walk in experience, we ordered the Petite Omakase which included 4 seasonal dishes, 6 pieces of sushi, a light fish broth, and a small dessert, we also ordered some add-on sushi. On our first reservation here, we opted for the Full Omakase, which was absolutely amazing.

I've ordered the Omakase each time and while I still love the atmosphere and the energy from Chef Soichi and the staff, I do have to say that this last go round was not quite as good as the last two. This is meant to be opinionated criticism to help improve but I think the dishes could use more diversity and depth. Having done a fair share of omakase from places like Kinme and Matoi, I feel like this isn't that much more memorable or special and I'd hate for it to follow the same path Tadokoro did where they were absolutely my #1 choice and fell after they got their star (which they later lost). Still love that Chef Soichi continues his tradition of birthday serenades with his guitar and the place still has that mom and pop charm so I hope they continue to thrive!

Everything was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. All of the fish is high-quality, and most of it is imported from Japan. They do also source fantastic shrimp and uni from San Diego at times. Both sushi chefs are super personable, very skilled, and they have rad knife skills! Service from the waitstaff was attentive yet unobtrusive. The restaurant is diminutive and consists primarily of the sushi bar with 10 seats and an attached patio dining area. They do have a small parking lot which is appreciated! The pacing was just right, and each course was presented simply yet beautifully. I truly enjoyed this experience and give it my highest possible accolades! I loved that we were able to taste test three different sakes before choosing, and the carafe of sake was perfect for two of us to enjoy with our meal. It was also fun to choose our own special sake cup/glass from Ichifuji's eclectic collection for the evening I truly enjoyed all of the 19!! courses but the chilled chawanmushi, king salmon & all the nigiri were my favorites.

I recalled coming here for a light dinner with my husband many years ago and thinking it was good, but expensive. I asked if they had Japanese soda for my daughter because it was not on the menu, and they said no, but after we came back from the bathroom the host had found one for us. They gave us chopstick helpers and were very nice. We ordered braised pork belly as an app and wagyu nigiri, albacore, hamachi, salmon belly, 2 salmons, and unagi. I think that was all. They nicely split the order so half had no wasabi for the kid. They were very considerate and I appreciated it. The food however took a while to come out. The braised pork belly was ok, but the fat had not rendered as well as at some other places so we ate around it. The flavor was good though. The hamachi was probably the best item-tender and tasty. The albacore was standard and a generous piece, but the salmon was a bit tough and my kid who usually inhales salmon tasted and then left the salmon. The wagyu had good flavor but was surprisingly chewy. For $26 I would expect it to melt in your mouth but it was not easy to bite through. The eel was very tender but had a weird taste, and was disappointing. I found myself chewing on a scale from maybe the salmon and was overall underwhelmed by the food. The bill for a soda and the sushi came to almost $150 after tax and tip for me and a 6-year old. Usually my husband and I and my kid go to places with better quality and pay the same price for the three of us. Will not be back.

    High quality sushi at a low-key spot! We visited during early dinner without a reservation and was…read morelucky to get seated right away! It looks like most of the other tables were reserved for reservations. The decor is modern and very clean and chic. They also had a high chair and was accommodating with our baby. Food was incredible and the quality of the fish is evident throughout. We started with the mixed shrimp and vegetable tempura - light crispy batter, really good. The sashimi champaloo came with 12 pieces of sashimi, salmon, tuna, yellowtail, and the fish of the day was albacore. For rolls, we got the Luna Lemon, Maru's Sushi Toro, and Hamachi Hiro. The rolls were a good size and I loved how each had a fun twist (but at the same time not TOO crazy with their combinations like some other sushi places). You can tell it was designed with intention and each roll had a nice balance. The Luna Lemon roll was great with spicy tuna inside, salmon outside, and the soy dressing and shallot oil put it over the top. The Maru's Sushi - Toro roll looked so good in the photos so I knew we had to order it. The negitoro was delicious and did not disappoint. The Hamachi Hiro roll was hearty and loved the combination of yellowtail outside the shrimp tempura in the inside. We were blown away by how fast the service is. The staff was friendly and on top of everything, and the food came out REALLY fast. For example, when we ordered an extra roll at the end, it came out in maybe 3 minutes and we were shocked. Highly recommend!

    We ordered takeout, and the food was packaged well!…read more We ordered the: -Sashimi champloo ($31.95): This had twelve pieces of prime cuts of salmon, tuna, yellowtail, and chef's choice. Every piece was delicious! -Chirashi bowl ($30.95): I really enjoyed the sushi rice in this bowl since not every restaurant does quality sushi rice. The sashimi was pretty good, but quality wise the sashimi champloo was definitely superior. -Salmon mango roll ($9.50): This had spicy salmon, mango, and ume furikake. This was quite tasty, and definitely had a kick to it. -Maru Maru roll ($9.50): This had imitation crab meat, shrimp tempura, and avocado. A basic roll but still good. -Chicken katsu curry don ($16.95): This was disappointing because the portion was quite small for the price. I do like how the curry was packaged separately. All in all, Hakumaru has quality sashimi and rolls, but could work on portion size for chicken katsu curry don.

    My husband and I came here for dinner and really enjoyed both the food and the atmosphere. The…read morerestaurant has a modern rooftop vibe in the heart of Downtown San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter, making it a great spot for date night. We ordered the miso soup, spicy edamame, Den Miso pork belly skewers, tamarindo tuna ceviche, seabass serrano, crispy karikari tuna, and mochi ice cream for dessert. To drink, we had the Taiyo Margarita and the Clouds of Matcha cocktail. The spicy edamame was probably the only dish that fell a little short for us. It wasn't bad by any means, but we were hoping for more flavor. The absolute standout was the Den Miso pork belly skewers. My husband and I both took our first bite at the same time, looked at each other, and immediately said, "Oh!" We were genuinely surprised by how juicy, tender, and flavorful they were. There were only two skewers, but they packed so much flavor that we instantly wanted to order another plate. The tamarindo tuna ceviche was fresh, light, and refreshing. The taro chips added a nice crunch without overpowering the dish. The seabass serrano was enjoyable, though it wasn't a stand out for us. The crispy karikari tuna (spicy tuna over crispy rice) is one of my go-to orders whenever I visit a sushi restaurant, and this version was up to par. The only component I wasn't crazy about was the long, thin slice of avocado on top--I personally could have done without it, though my husband actually liked it, so that's just a matter of preference. We finished the meal with mochi ice cream, which was the perfect sweet ending. Overall, we had a great dining experience. Between the rooftop ambiance, attentive service, and several delicious dishes - especially those unforgettable pork belly skewers - we'd definitely come back and would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a great dinner spot in the Gaslamp.
