Dragon Roll stated price $26 ($13 dine in, $15.60 to go)
Cyn K.

3.5/5 Overview: good, pretty standard sushi spot, very similar to Todo Sushi off of Carroll Canyon Rd, quite affordable, all to-go orders are 20% more expensive vs dine-in, have sushi + other entrées ---- Minus 1 star: - While I love the concept of the Kuchi Special where you post on social media to advertise for them to get a free house special roll, there are some discrepancies in receiving it. - On the flyer, it said only a $10 minimum purchase needed, but our waitress said there needed to be a $20 minimum per person - I only noticed when looking back at the picture I took, it's a bit confusing but if they changed their policy they should include it on the flyer Spicy Garlic Edamame $6.95: Minus 0.5 star - The spicy garlic edamame was quite sweet, and had no spice at all. They maybe gave us the regular garlic edamame? Playboy Roll $13: - salmon, cooked shrimp, cream cheese, avocado, spicy mayo - lots of cream cheese, some might not like it (I love cream cheese so I enjoyed this one) Dragon Roll $13: - imitation crab, eel, avocado, cucumber, smelt egg, eel sauce - my favorite roll Sunshine Roll $12: - imitation crab, avocado, cucumber, salmon, house dressing - house dressing sauce was great, I think they use the same recipe at Todo Sushi for their sunshine roll too Yaki Soba $15.50: - stir fried soba noodle with vegetables and chicken - pretty large portion - comes with 3 slices of oranges ---- Notes: - Parking can be difficult especially being in convoy area - nice ambiance, I liked the dim lighting, it gave an intimate vibe - no complaints about the service ---- Overall: it's a decent place for sushi, I would've given a 4.5/5 if it wasn't for the discrepancy for their special

I love me some sushi!!! ...I can eat this all the time and Sushi Kuchi is one of my favorite sushi spots to go to. Between this location and Mission Valley, they never let me down. I always get the Play Boy Roll, Sweet Hawaiian Roll, White Boy Roll and my absolute favorite Vegas Roll! ...tasty, yet satisfying. The service is always great and super friendly. I like to dine in for their 50% off on the rolls and go during lunch time for a less crowded meal. I am already thinking of my next visit for the Vegas Roll!

There was no wait time which should've been our first sign since it is usually busy on Convoy especially in this parking lot. The food was alright but nothing special. Be careful when reading the menu because if it doesn't say it's a roll then there is no rice specifically for the sushi section. I highly do not recommend the tornado roll. The restaurant was pretty quiet but it was because there wasn't that much people.

I got the salmon skin tempura, spicy edamame , and the tornado 151. I really enjoyed my food, the waiter was super helpful, and attentive to us. While the food was good, we got a roll (star wars roll) that seemed frozen or something because it was slightly tough. The manager was kind enough and didn't charge us for it. Much appreciated! Other than that the food tasted pretty good. Highly recommend the cooked rolls.

We finally stopped by after having numerous people recommend us this location. Service was amazing, the young lady was really attentive. It was just us and another party during lunch hour. Our food came out relatively fast. We were impressed by the size of the sushi rolls, they are definitely meant to be shared. Our favorites were the deep fried ones, they had such a great crunchy consistency that paired perfectly with the creaminess of the filling. We ordered a ramen, but we were disappointed when we realized it was just top ramen nothing extra was added to make it special. We sent it back, didn't make a big deal about it nor did we request for it to be taken off our check. Once we paid and looked at our check on our way out we realized the young girl took it off our bill. This was a gesture that was appreciated and speaks highly of their customer service. The music playing in the background was a great 2000s playlist. This is definitely a place you want to visit during lunch hour to avoid to crowds and come ready to eat.

Star Wars Roll

First time trying this place. Door Dashed a couple rolls: Bad Boy Roll and Vegas Roll. Sushi pieces were thick. The Vegas Roll was delicious and fulfilling. Bad Boy roll was also good, liked how the lemon slices were thin so it was edible. Docking a few stars, it would have been nice to have chopsticks and soy sauce packets with my order. Also, I haven't dined so I can't comment on the visual experience of the location. I did like how they packed a big serving of ginger, my fave. Thank You Sushi Kuchi!

Sushi Kuchi is a great place to get delicious sushi in San Diego.Sushi rolls were very tasty. Good service , helpful and beyond, food is also served quickly and efficiently. The restaurant has a wide variety of rolls to choose from, as well as sashimi, nigiri, and other Japanese dishes. We tried rolls and sashimi and every one of them was very good , fresh and well prepared, the prices are very reasonable and clean place!

Kuchi Sushi is one of my go to sushi spots. The fish tastes fresh, the rolls are well prepared, and the service has always been friendly. The restaurant has a relaxed vibe that makes it easy to enjoy a casual meal. Only downside is the parking lot can get pretty crowded.

Sapporo

My first time and i have been a San Diegan Half my life i am ashamed i did not stop by here earlier Must some friends visiting from out of town and just had some good drinks. Happy hour i believe and the beer of choice was Sapporo Will come back to try the food and add a star :)

Luci A.

The food here never disappoints. I've been here dozens of times over the past couple of years, decided it was time to write a review. The service is fast- whether you're picking up to go or dining in! Everyone is kind, the atmosphere is open and welcoming. Absolutely favorite sushi in SD. Prices are reasonable! Will be back sooner than later, & then again later haha.

Delicious deep fried sushis. Staff is very nice and restaurant is clean. Nice outside seating.

Chad O.

Sushi was very fresh and you can tell it was made very authentically and proportionately acceptable. I was surprised at how cute the bathroom was decorated too. Definitely gave off the San Diego aesthetics. The service was amazing and got seated as soon as we walked in.

Char B.

Nice place to grab some sushi. For taste, everything we got was good but nothing really stood out to me as amazing or terrible. The size of the sushi itself was super big kinda hard to eat. Presentation was very nice. Tried a new beer called Krush which was super refreshing. The staff is super friendly and kept checking up on us. As for the menu, the rolls itself is pretty "cheap" because it's marked at 50% off basically everything however I would wish they just took that off and put the regular prices to make it easier to calculate the total.

Crispy Rice, play boy, bad boy, Mango Roll, Spicy Garlic Edamame, salmon nigiri

Came here for belated anniversary dinner. Short walk from our hotel so the location was convenient…read more Inside Ambience was modern and decor was pleasing to see. Service was excellent, appreciated the attentiveness. Food was excellent. Ordered the bass dish with curry like flavor, very rich taste and it was easy to eat. The best dish of the night was the Miyazaki a5 wagyu. It was out of this world. The combination with the banchan was an excellent touch. Dipping the meat in the egg soy sauce was a flavor that was unforgettable. Wagyu was melt in your mouth type of experience. Reminded me of the Kobe beef I had while in Japan. Dessert was sticky rice crème brûlée. So glad we tried it. Super tasty. Highly recommend this place for anyone. This was an experience that was well worth the trip.

I notice details. lol Music very cool! I loved it. Best moment was while we were having our drinks at our table at a booth next to the window, the shade all in unison all went up and we saw the sun set! Yes!! Anyway, the staff from host to the waitress to bus-lady. Everyone was top notch and pros at their craft! The waitress was really on top of her game and really nice. Loved her! Thank you to her. I didn't catch her name. I'm sorry. Wine selection was fab. Ordered the chicken and wagyu rice. Omg! Soooo delicious! I literally when I ate it was saying "omg". I tasted a bite of the pork tomahawk and that was amazing as well! Everything was amazing. I honestly couldn't believe we waited so long to come back. Thank you everyone at Anime for all your hard work and for making our experience amazing.

I've dined at this location before it was Kusina San Diego and happy to return to try the AYCE…read moreSunday Brunch Buffet. It was affordable and great selections. It's from 9 am to 3 pm. Adults $26.99 and Children 10 and under $13.99. This is definately a meeting spot as I saw friends I haven't seen in a long time dining here too. NOTE: Be aware of where you park. DO NOT park in front of O'Riellys painted curb as they are towing vehicles. The buffet had ube pancakes which tasted good and I don't like Ube. Also, my favorites were: Tocino, Tapa and Longanesia. There's the regular items such as Kare Kare, Sunnyside Eggs, Garlic Rice and Rice. I tried the Jeprox and champarado and I was not a fan. It's just me as I did not grow up with these dishes so I didn't have a taste for it. I really enjoyed the Sisig topped with raw egg on top. We mixed it up and yummy. The best Sisig I have ever had. My friends enjoyed it very much too. Lastly, for dessert, we ordered the halo halo with ube ice cream. It was so refreshing. The ice was shaved perfectly to my liking. I don't like fine ice. Overall, great spot to gather with family and friends. It's a pretty good size restaurant too. We were a party of 12 and I would highly recommend making reservations. Thanks Tress and Staff for making my dining experience a memorable one.

I've been seeing ads for Kusina San Diego all over social media and was excited to finally give it…read morea try. Since we live more than an hour away, we waited until we were already in the area. Two days ago, we finally stopped by. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. The first thing we noticed upon walking in was an unusual odor that wasn't very inviting. Since it wasn't their Sunday buffet day, we ordered à la carte: kare-kare, crispy pata, and chicken inasal. The service was good, food presentation was nice, and the dishes looked promising. However, the flavors did not meet our expectations. The kare-kare did not taste like traditional kare-kare, and the bagoong alamang was extremely salty with a very strong odor. The crispy pata had been chopped into pieces before frying, making it look and eat more like lechon kawali than the crispy pata we expected. As for the chicken inasal, it was far from the traditional version we're familiar with--it didn't even appear grilled and resembled chicken satay more than inasal. There were three of us dining, and all of us shared the same impressions of the food. Based on their advertising about serving food that's "as good as Nanay's," we came in with high expectations, but sadly, those expectations were not met. This was our first visit, and unfortunately, it will likely be our last. While others may have a different experience, we were not impressed with the food and would not make the drive back for another visit.

It's in a plaza with a ton of other restaurants, so just know parking can be a little chaotic. I went on a Wednesday around 5:30PM and still found parking pretty easily, but I can see it getting rough later. The place itself is on the smaller side, but they fit a good amount of seating. Every time I pass by it never looks super packed and even this time it wasn't that busy. I ordered ahead through their website, which was smooth, but when I walked in the cashier didn't see my order at first. I showed her my confirmation text, she checked with the kitchen and let me know it was still being prepared. She was super kind about it, so no issue there. I sat and waited and it ended up being around 20 minutes, which felt a little long for just two items, but not terrible. There was also a moment where a group came in and no one was at the front, so they asked me how ordering worked. We both just assumed you scan the QR code at the table and order from there, which probably explains why there isn't always someone upfront. A little confusing at first, but it is what it is. Once my food was ready, it was packaged really nicely. I had about a 25 minute drive home and everything stayed warm, which is honestly the best part about good takeout. Popcorn Chicken ($9.50) This might be the best popcorn chicken I've had in San Diego, especially for the price. You get big pieces, like actual chicken, not just fried coating. The seasoning is kind of addicting, a little sweet, a little salty, savory, with a slight kick. Super fragrant too with green onions mixed in. The sauce tasted like a cilantro jalapeño crema, almost taco vibes, which sounds random but it worked really well. And the shredded cabbage at the bottom soaking up all that extra seasoning... so good. Only thing is I wish some pieces were a little crispier and more golden, but still really really solid. Spicy Shrimp Wontons (8 pcs, $10.80) These come in a soy, vinegar, chili oil sauce that's super balanced. The wontons themselves are a bit smaller and don't have a ton of filling, so price-wise it's a little eh. But the sauce carries. After sitting in it during my drive home, I thought it would be too salty, but it actually soaked in perfectly. The color got darker and richer and the flavor still stayed balanced. Overall, this place is honestly solid. The menu isn't huge, more focused on noodles, dumplings, and apps, but based on what I had, they do it well. I'll definitely be back to try more, but that popcorn chicken alone is already enough reason to come back.

The kitchen clearly knows how to prepare quality dishes, and the food is the reason I'm giving this restaurant 4 stars instead of less. That said, I deducted one star because of the location and overall environment. I chose Kingfisher because I was looking forward to Vietnamese cuisine, but when I arrived, my first impression was disappointing. Right by the entrance there was a strong urine smell, and because the restaurant has an open-air layout, it affected the dining experience. I also found myself concerned about the surrounding neighborhood and the overall setting. For me, a great restaurant is about more than just the food--it's also about feeling comfortable, relaxed, and enjoying the atmosphere. Even if a restaurant serves amazing food, the experience isn't complete if the location makes guests feel uneasy. I understand that Kingfisher has earned Michelin recognition, and the quality of the food certainly shows why. However, I hope the overall dining environment can improve because the talented kitchen deserves a setting that matches the excellent dishes they serve. I would gladly return if this establishment were located in a cleaner, more welcoming area without the homeless encampments nearby.
