If you like belly cuts, this place is a must. The salmon belly, yellowtail belly, albacore belly, and tuna belly were all fresh and delicious. The hand rolls tasted authentic, and the specialty rolls were even better. Their house-made sauces add flavor without masking the fish, which is exactly how it should be. The crispy rice with spicy tuna and avocado was another standout and definitely worth ordering. Great sushi, great service, and quality fish throughout. I'm definitely visiting when in area.

I've never had anything better than this other than sushi straight from a fish market in Japan.

We loved the sake sampler since it was a great way to try multiple bottles. My wife's Daimyo Chirashi was packed with an amazing variety of fresh fish and flavor, while my kalbi beef was perfectly cooked with the perfect sweet heat. The garlic squid was easily our favorite dish, and the mochi with dorayaki was the perfect dessert combo to finish the meal. 100/10 experience -- can't wait to come back!

We celebrated my birthday at Oku-Niku after a fun day at Theme park, and it was the perfect way to…read moreend the day with family! Making a reservation was very easy, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted right away and seated promptly. The ambiance was warm and inviting. The restaurant is a bit dimly lit, but it really adds to the cozy and upscale atmosphere. One thing I immediately noticed was how clean all of the grills were. We chose the AYCE option (around $55 per person), and the pricing for kids was very reasonable. Our 5-year-old was charged a reduced rate, while our 3-year-old ate free, which was a nice bonus for families. The selection of meats was excellent, with plenty of options to choose from. They do have a 90-minute dining limit and a surcharge for excessive leftovers, but that wasn't an issue for us because everything was delicious. The appetizer selection was surprisingly large. We enjoyed the beef fried rice, noodles, a sushi roll, crispy tofu, chicken karaage, and shiitake mushrooms. The crispy tofu turned out to be spicier than we expected, so just keep that in mind if ordering for kids. However, spice lovers will probably enjoy it! The chicken karaage was a huge hit with the kids, especially with the spicy mayo on the side. The shiitake mushrooms were also incredibly flavorful and well-seasoned. We also ordered crispy rice spicy tuna, we loved it too! What really stood out was the service. Every server we encountered was kind, attentive, and genuinely friendly. Instead of simply dropping off food and walking away, they took time to check in, ask how we were doing, and connect with us. That personal touch made the experience feel special. We only ordered water since we had already had plenty of drinks earlier in the day, but they offer a variety of beverages as well. For dessert, we tried the mochi ice cream special--two for $5--which was a fantastic deal. In San Diego, it's common to pay around $5 for just one mochi ice cream, so we were pleasantly surprised. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and are so happy we chose Oku-Niku for my birthday celebration. Great food, excellent service, a family-friendly atmosphere, and a memorable dining experience. We'll definitely be back!

Excellent service, If you're tempted to try but not committing to the din price tags try them for the lunch special. Parking may be tricky as the area is typically busy but we usually find street parking nearby, a nice walk is good after a AYCE. PSA/FYI: for Me -- "HOT" is not literal for spice/temp but for a Like/loveable item!
