    Premium nigiri

    Solid AYCE spot that I never knew was here! I always thought I had to make the drive to Mira Mesa or Clairemont or Chula Vista for AYCE when this spot was here the whole time. The quality was really good and there's a great selection, especially if you come for dinner. We got here around 6 and it filled up *fast* The staff were super friendly and they even told us about some new menu items they're adding, like oysters and soft shell crab. The dining area is a decent size but I'm can fill up fast.

    This place has gone downhill, the atmosphere used to be so charming now it's just bland. I used to love coming here with my friends, the flavors used to be amazing and the quality tasted great, service would be on top as well but since then this place has just been slowly losing itself. Came here and ordered the same things as always but this time the ramen was bland, it wasn't a biggie to us since there was still a hint of flavor but the bulgogi that I had ordered was straight flavorless and the meat quality was terrible, I'm honestly starting to feel sick. I asked for a remake just incase they messed up on accident but nope, next one came out with more oil, less flavor and meat that was even chewier and dry. Oh and the last couple time I've came I've had to wait 30+ mins for my food One time I waited 40 minutes for my bulgogi in a empty restaurant just for them to tell me that something was wrong with the printer and it didn't go through to the kitchen, should you really have a guest waiting 40 minute to tell them that? There's also something going on with the bathrooms, does it not lock? Saw so many times people enter the bathroom when others were already in there. I really did used to love this place from middle school until my 2nd year of college but I will not be returning back. The photo is from last year.

    Went here for the AYCE sushi. We ordered so much for the 1st round that we only went 1 round. Lol. Be forewarned, the rolls are full sized 8-10pcs, and each round is limited 2/person. The only takeaway from this meal was it was just okay, the crunchy flakes were kinda stale &the server kinda forgot a few of our orders. They did charge a little extra for us only eating 2 pieces of the crunchy roll, which is totally valid.

    We got the lunch happy hour AYCE which doesn't include Sashimi or nigiri but it was still such a steal! The only real downside is that the rice was not really good. It felt really chewy which I didn't like. The service was nice, we got our food in a timely manner and I didn't have any issues with parking.

    Food was pretty mid. The oyster was not fresh. The sashimi was super gamey. The fried items were good. Service was friendly but slow.

    Stopped in at Sushi Factory while visiting San Diego. I appreciate that they have a parking lot behind the restaurant. I also appreciated that they opened on time. The service was mostly great and the food came out at a good pace. Downsides to this restaurant were that the sushi wasn't that great. It could have been much better. The variety of sushi was poor. It seemed like many of the rolls had the same or similar ingredients. Also, for the first round, you're limited to how much you can order. We left one piece of a sushi roll and was charged $16 for it. That's ridiculous and the lady that rang me up didn't even mention it or else I wouldn't have tipped. The restaurant itself is run down, the bathroom felt nasty and the building needs some upgrades. I will never visit this restaurant again.

    Soy sauce plastic cup

    I have been to this place many times. Usually is very good. Lately, maybe something changed there, but it's not what it once was. The service is mid and you have to always ask for basic items you'd expect and server to bring to you. Today we ordered 4 sushi rolls and not one plate had ginger or wasabi on it. We had to ask. Then waitress came back and we had to ask for cups for the soy sauce. The cups they brought were little plastic cups you can barely fit a sushi roll in. Not something you expect at a place like this.. Just terrible service today. I'm sure they'll have 22% as a starting tip. Crazy how places can provide piss poor service and expect a tip. Servers need to earn a tip.

    Had an amazing experience at Sushi Factory! We ordered the all you can eat lunch meal. Quality and delicious fish and rolls. Had Tracy as our host, she was very hospitable and sweet. Happy birthday Tracy!!! The vibes inside were nice and clean.

    We came in for dinner maybe an hour before closing time-we're the worssssttttt. But the staff was the best and gave great recommendations before the kitchen closed. We were very happy with our food! Highly recommend the bulgogi fries!!

    The food and service was amazing, emma and jaden were very helpful in our selection 10/10 would come again!!!

    Coming from Fukuoka, I'm pretty picky when it comes to tonkotsu ramen. I have my go to for that,…read morebut would go to Beshock from time to time for the very great sake selection. Honestly hard to find a place with so many choices and very reasonable pricing. My most recent visit I saw that the menu was changed completely and that they were serving tori paitan. I never had it before so I had to try it and it was delicious! You still get a very similar mouth feel of a creamy tonkotsu ramen, but it just doesn't sit as heavy. I think scrapping a menu that they've had for years is a bold move, but I see the vision. They're bringing a different style of ramen that you won't really find anywhere else here in San Diego. Would highly recommend being open minded and giving it a shot. Also would recommend ordering it with hard thin noodles. Workers are also always very friendly and knowledgeable about the sake so definitely ask for a recommendation to pair with your food.

We are typically sat and served right away, and inside is very cute and clean. A bowl of their ramen will never do you wrong and we are a sucker for their appetizers as well.

    Craving for ramen on a Saturday while in Kearny, so we tried Raki-Raki…read more Lot of menus offered, but we ended up ordering: Original Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen - creamy white soup broth. I guess we're used to other tonkotsu ramen tastes, more seasoned than this one. Chashu pork was overcooked and too lean. Not a big fan of their ramen toppings. Noodles were good. 4/5 RakiRaki Bento Box - great portion. Gyoza, Takoyaki, RakiRaki roll were all good. Karaage was just crispy, missing seasoning, it was just bland. I guess adding salt and pepper before breading or with the breading probably makes taste better. 4/5 Staff were attentive and nice. Will try their other ramen if we ever comes back and hoping for a better taste experience Parking was still good at 1055 a.m. but when we were done around 11:45 a.m., cars were waiting for parking. Complimentary 2 hrs parking when doing business at this plaza.

    I would have liked to give them more stars. Although this is a ramen place, we did come to try…read moretheir other menu items. We got the karaage rice bowl and two of their rolls. It hurts to say it was mid. The rice bowl was okay but the chicken didnt have too much flavor and i feel like the rice to chicken ration was a little off. For the rakiraki roll, there was just too much rice. When you look at the rolls sure theyre big but its mainly rice. I think for the price, you could go somewhere else for better rolls. The other one had too much cream cheese too. All i tasted was rice and cream cheese. The staff were very friendly and attentive though. We didnt notice that we had dropped something on the floor and one of them picked it up for us. The restaurant itself is nice but as introverts, the two seater tables are very close to each other. Its fine though I understand the need to maximize space. Overall I would come back for their ramen but I probably wont get the rolls or rice bowl again.

We went around 2pm (weekday) so it wasn't crowded at all, we got seated right away (if you come around lunch or dinner time, expect a wait). Weekdays they are open 11am-2.30pm and then re-open from 5pm-9pm, Sat & Sun 11am-9pm It's not too big, but there's seating inside and out. Since she's never been here before she wanted to try their signature ramen so we got the Tonkotsu with pork belly (we shared since she wasn't very hungry) and gyozas. The broth is very rich and flavorful and the pork belly was fatty and very tasty (exactly how I like it). She really liked the gyozas with the crispy skirt... although she said they were a bit "small". I've been here a few times and have also tried the spicy and black king ramen and loved all of them. The flavors are all different but all rich and very good. Their ramen is good perfectly, soft and with a little bounce. I would say this is one of 2 of my favorite ramen places so far!! And it's super convenient if you are shopping around UTC. They have a beautiful koi pond to enjoy if you are sitting outside or waiting in line.

You get an order form to customize your own Ramen. I chose the thin noodles which were good but the thick noodles is where its at. Fresh and with a slight chew and not starchy!!

Service was fast and friendly. The inside is nicely decorated Japanese style and very small similar to Japan. All in all, Nagi is in my top 3 and I will continue to search out the best Ramen in SD.
