We have been going to Tokyo sushi for over 20 years and followed them when they moved. The sold to new owners about a year ago and it has steadily gone downhill. Service is almost nonexistent with only one or two waiters for the whole restaurant. Prices went up by 30% and food portions went down. That and the now somewhat apathetic welcomes and attention have made us move to another restaurant. Would love to come back if they can correct the problems. read more

Wife and I went here when we were in the area for a concert at SDSU. We thought it was the old Tokyo sushi that use to be by the Bank of America on El Cajon and who knows maybe it is and they just moved locations, but it was such a disappointment. The air conditioning wasn't working, but we were committed based on timing and the reviews seemed solid. The food just flat out wasn't very good. The garlic edamame seemed like they just tossed in garlic paste. Maybe I'm wrong, but it did not seem to have and "juice" which I believe most places use butter. My wife also ordered a house salad and the dressing was also just not good. We ordered a pitcher of beer and were never brought water. I used the restroom and noticed there were craft beer tap handles but those weren't listed on the menu. I was bummed because I would have preferred a craft vs a Japanese lager. Maybe I missed it in the menu but I don't think so. The person we ordered our beer and appetizers from was also not the same person who came to take our food order so it was confusing on who to ask for further assistance. Then the food... I ordered salmon belly nigiri, it wasnt great.. it wasn't rotten or anything just felt more aligned with an AYCE sushi spot. I ordered I think it was called a pink role because the mustard soy sounded nice over the top. Very little, again didn't know who was my server to ask for more. We spent like 110 dollars and nothing about it was good. Weird edamame, straight up bad salad dressing, mid level fish, awkward service, no air conditioning, craft beers not listed on the menu and no water. My wife also emailed the management team and we never got a reply. Hence the public sharing of our experience. The next night I went to poke 1 1/2 and was more satisfied spending those 20 dollars vs trying to have a nice sit down experience for 5x the price. read more

The service was a bit slower tonight. Not bad just slow. The water smelled and the plastic cups seemed to also smell. Didn't drink anything. The sushi rolls were superb as always. I have the soy wrap as I don't like seaweed. Nice that they have it. read more

Absolutely ridiculous. Do not order online or ahead from this place unless you have an hour and a half to waste. I placed my order at 5:20pm, arrived at 5:45pm, and didn't leave until 6:50pm (!!) That's a 90-minute wait for an online order that was supposed to save time. I literally could have sat down, ordered, eaten, and left faster. In fact, a couple that arrived at the same time as me did exactly that, and left before I even received my order. The worst part? They clearly prioritize in-person orders over online ones. A woman in front of me ordered and paid after I arrived and had her food in about 15 minutes while my order sat untouched. Another customer shared he had already been waiting over an hour for his online order, and a third customer was also complaining about the exact same thing. This is obviously not a one-off issue. To make matters worse, I got a different explanation every time I asked what was going on. First I was told they were "slammed." Then I was told my ticket had gotten messed up. Later, I was told they didn't even know what happened. Which was it? There were only three or four tables occupied in the entire restaurant, so none of the explanations made much sense. If your kitchen can't handle online orders, stop accepting them. Don't take people's money and leave them standing around for an hour and a half with no clear answer. Then, after all that waiting, they still managed to mess up my husband's sushi roll by leaving out one of the fish, and the crispy rice was somehow severely overcooked. Imagine waiting 90 minutes only to receive incorrect, poorly prepared food. The final insult was the "manager" telling me he couldn't authorize a refund but would "take care of me next time." Next time? This was my first visit, and after wasting 90 minutes for bad service, conflicting excuses, and an incorrect order, there won't be a next time. Complete waste of time and money. I won't be back, and I definitely wouldn't recommend this restaurant. There are plenty of better sushi restaurants that actually value their customers' time. read more

This used to be one of my favorite places for pick-up and where I would send people over if they were visiting San Diego . Honestly, I've been contemplating updating my review for the longest and it pains me to do so; Over the past years things have just really gone down hill and it really shows as today was Father's Day and it was surprisingly empty . When calling ahead for pick-up, times have been CONSISTENTLY incorrect . Please give a better timeframe --if you tell me 20 minutes, no problem; even if you tell me 60 minutes, no problem, I'd plan accordingly . But if you tell me 20 minutes and I'm waiting for over 60 minutes-- there's the problem . I would give the benefit of the doubt, but this issue is reoccurring-- and that's a shame on me for giving too many chances . I had to walk away from my order that was sitting on the counter ready to be paid for today because the waiters have no sense of urgency and I was already over an hour late to my event because of the incorrect given timeframe; --Again, I would've understood if the restaurant was slammed, but it wasn't . It's a shame because they used to be so amazing and they still have so much potential with their location, plentiful parking. and how large the inside is, but even with good sushi, customer service is what brings returning support . It's 2026 and there's soooo many options for great sushi restaurants in SD that will acknowledge you and give you decent customer service . Go check out Azuki in Hillcrest for fancy, Sushi OTA for OG, or Hinata in Lemon Grove for budget friendly :) read more

We visited at lunch, unfortunately there was a very large table and only one server working. She did her best tho the experience was super slow from seating to serving. Dang large unexpected group! But whatever, a frosty mug of Kirin and a carafe of hot sake made for a very relaxed and leisurely lunch. Food wise we shared a few rolls, Las Vegas, Surf + Turf, and a Rainbow. All were very well made and the fishes were fresh. The Vegas roll was humongous! For me it was really rich, so could only ate 1 piece. Surf + Turf was piled highly with fried onions, was so good. Also the steak was so tender and flavor packed. Rainbow was decent, I wasn't a fan of the sweet sauce over the top. So next time I'd order without that. Fantastic place for sure. Looking forward to going back for dinner! read more

Came here for my daughter's birthday lunch on Friday afternoon. The place wasn't too busy. Service was fast but not overly friendly. We shared many rolls and a couple of apps. All of the rolls were quite tasty and very generously portioned. The chicken katsu kids bento was a tiny bit overcooked but everything else was on point! We'll definitely be back to try more rolls! read more

Food was alright, nothing special about the rolls. I ordered the baked mussels and was not fond of the sauce that was on top. The sauce is normally a spicy mayo, but this tasted straight like some cream and mayo but it was thick and overpowering. I would order that again. Chicken Katsu curry was okay, just very watery. The consistency could have been thicker. I also had the shrimp killer roll and pink roll, which were good. I went around 7pm and there was maybe 3 other party in the restaurant, so not busy. However, it took two ask for them to bring us utensils. read more

So here's the thing. The food itself was good. I came in an hour and a half before closing time. And they told me that kitchen was closing in 10min. Idk how they do things around here but that sounded a little crazy to me, so I felt like I had to order in a hurry. Then we got the food pretty quickly with maybe 45 min til closing, they started shutting off lights and cleaning and basically making us feel like we were being pushed out. We weren't gonna stay past closing or anything but yeeeeesh! Anyway aside from that, like I said, food was good. Might give them another chance one day, but if I do, I'll go in earlier... read more

I have been a customer since my college days and back when they were located near the Ralph's. I still come on occasion but since it's been at this location, price is higher. It's very pretty with ample parking. It's pretty big actually and it's nice it has a private event room so they can cater to big groups. I've been to this location a few times throughout the years. I came recently when they just opened for dinner so the dinner rush was not there yet. Staff was very friendly. In regards to the meal, also good! But I just feel a bit pricey. The soy sauce they had seemed very dark and salty, they said it was their low sodium. Luckily, upon request they do have the gluten-free one which is much better. The Gyoza appetizer was perfect tempt and texture-I feel like it was a bit bland on this visit. The salmon slices over our sushi was fresh and tasty. My cousin did order a spicy salmon roll and said it wasn't spicy at all lol. Overall, I will be a returning customer. I didn't get the shrimp tempura roll which I think is one of their best rolls, along with the hot kiss roll. I believe at night time they have the lights off with popping music and some laser lights. It's been a while since I've been here in the evening though. read more

Been here a couple times now and I really dig this joint. Pretty sure I dropped a review before but not sure what happened to it. Hmm. The staff are very friendly. And the rolls are yummy. I've been slowly making my way through the menu and haven't found a bad one yet. Oh and their baked yellowtail was amazing! I'm not much of a fan of their bento options, like the shrimp tempura. My daughters seem satisfied with their udon and California rolls. Overall, this is a solid place for sushi and rolls. read more

From service to ambiance to the food and the drinks, this is a 5 star all around. We went for a friend's anniversary and thought about getting the sushi boat but wanted different rolls. Without us asking, they placed our order on a boat. The staff was also very friendly the entirety of our stay. The sushi was fresh and delicious and the sake bombs were plentiful and inexpensive. Definitely a recommendation for special events and any day you're feeling sushi! read more

We went when it was pretty quiet, so the service was fast and the food came out quickly. I'm giving it 4 stars because the spicy salmon roll had just an okay sauce. It tasted much better once I dipped it in soy sauce. Maybe they're better known for their other rolls--I only tried a basic one read more

Our reservation was at 8:30- we were sat at 8:33 when they cleared off a table. There was 5 of us. We ordered quickly when we put in our drink orders- which was our choice as we were starving and had been seated long enough to figure out what we wanted. Our food came scattered and was not all to the table until after 9, probably closer to 9:15. We were still eating at 9:30 when a staff member we hadn't seen before came up very matter of fact/ rudely said "we're closed" then gestured/ waived over the large amount of food on our table and said "so do you want a box?". I was so put off by it- we had been there for exactly an hour and had not had our food long. I've been bartending for 6 years. I hate nothing more than when people camp out at a table after close. At my restaurant we will let people stay for too long in my opinion and even then we usually very gently give hints it's time to leave. I immediately looked online to see when they closed and it shows they close at 9:30pm. Apparently somewhere else it says 9pm. However, when you allow reservations at 8:30 and the food doesn't all hit the table until 9:15- rudely declaring that a table isn't welcome anymore is insane to me. I cannot fathom how an additional 15 minutes was so detrimental to the staff as to cause a scene about it. My little sister wanted to go out for her graduation to Tokyo specifically and was dressed in her regalia post ceremony excited for this experience. She also wanted the dessert she has got there since she was a child but obviously no offer of dessert was made as boxes were quickly tossed our way. I grew up coming here and we even remarked how it wasn't what it used to be but it was still our spot. But there was a to handle that and the way they did it was so tacky and disrespectful- you would've thought we were sitting there with empty plates for an hour. In addition we ordered food that never came and were told they stopped serving it but had to inquire about it, there was debris in our sodas, we had to ask for soy sauce multiple times, the rolls were drenched in sauce and none of the food was remarkable. Our server also left early into our meal without saying anything- we just saw her leave through the front door and then our only interactions were when we went searching for our missing item and when told to leave. Beyond disappointed, and I still recommend Tokyo to people to this day and that is now over. read more

This spot is a gem! I've been coming here for years! Surprised it's taken me this long to write a review. Great service, great atmosphere, great food, and quality ingredients. The restaurant is spacious (not too cramped, good flow) and has plenty of seating areas. We sat at the bar and loved watching the chefs at work. Highly recommend this place for anyone who is looking for high end sushi at a reasonable price! Come check it out! read more

Ordered a SIMPLE SPICY TUNA ROLL. BOGO FREE ON UBER EATS. Got 2 hand rolls instead. I Hate hand rolls. Messy!!! And not as much as regular rolls. This is why I don't try New sushi places. It was good, but its the point. I WANTED ROLLS. read more

Came here for a family birthday dinner. We got the boat and it was a boatload of sushi and fresh fish! The ex bf roll was pretty good. I just was hoping for more pieces. The udon soup was good.

After a late arrival in San Diego, I was looking for a dinner spot close to my hotel. Tokyo Suhi Loha was right next door, so I made my way and was seated at the sushi bar. Ambiance (4.5/5): This is where this Japanese restaurant shines. I love the lights at the check-in desk. It's a beautiful, large restaurant with plenty of seating and nice decor. A nice start to a dining experience for sure. Service (1.5/5): Unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired. My waiter was slow to greet me---one of those experiences where you're ready to order both your food and drinks once he arrives. From there, he got part of my order wrong and never checked in on me after bringing my food and drinks. To the point where I had to ask the hostess for my bill. He essentially went MIA. Drinks (3/5): At Japanese restaurants, I typically go with a Japanese beer and some hot sake. Which is exactly what I did here. The sake could have been a little warmer, but outside of that, standard. Food (3/5): I ordered the beef gyoza but was given the pork gyoza instead. They were presented nicely in a boat bowl. While the presentation was nice, the gyoza were a bit over-fried. They tasted like your typical frozen gyoza rather than freshly made. From there, I went with some sushi. I had one of their specialty rolls with crab and scallops. It looked more like a dish rather than sushi as there was a lot of sauce and seafood surrounding the actual sushi. Though I'm not complaining, the more, the better! Unlike the gyoza, I enjoyed the sushi and it was different than any rolls I've had in the past. Overall, the food was a hit and a miss and a bit overpriced. Not a bad experience but it didn't live up to the expectations. read more

Tokyo Sushi Loha is a very lovely establishment if you're looking for sushi and other Japanese foods in the La Mesa area. Walking in, you're greeted by friendly and helpful staff and there is also bar seating where you can watch many sushi chefs make the food. With a modern Japanese vibe, To start, we ordered the Rose Roll and it was very tasty! It is similar to a Shrimp Crunch Roll , but it was topped with spicy tuna. I would totally recommend this if you are looking for a roll to share. We also had the chicken Katsu and teriyaki bento box and they were both filling and very delicious. It was perfect portions of everything. However, I found their salad dressing to be a lot sweeter than other Japanese restaurants. In addition to this, there is a misprint on their menu, according to a worker. Instead of 4 California Roll pieces, we only got two. I also found it interesting that we got miso soup as a free item, even though it's included with the bento box. Overall this was still pretty good! If you're looking for a good restaurant for Japanese food with even better service, Tokyo Sushi Loha is the place to go! They even offer a 10% discount for college students! read more

We have been going here for years, but noticing a decline since new management. After today, we will not be going back. First the air was not working and it is 90 outside, but felt cooler outside, then inside. There was a strong fish odor. Our food was okay, but not as good. My husband accidentally spilled his beer. It took a long time to get it semi cleaned up. The waitress did not bring more napkins, we had used ours for clean up. She didn't offer to get another beer which we would have gladly paid for. There was no ginger or wasabi provided. We asked for water and never got any, not a pleasant early dinner. read more

Spicy cilantro roll was good!! Ambience cool and service okay. Stop by for a little lunch. Was super hungry. The gentleman sat me down got my initial order and I never heard from him again lol. He had to take care of front I guess. But I would have ordered more to go. No one never approached me again. I ate my roll , had one glass of wine and left , paid tab at front. I was never asked if I wanted anything else , if I wanted another glass of wine , water etc..... cool Mom & pop shop restaurant I know it's been here for years. My auntie loves this establishment. I'd just say treat all equal and work on customer service. Always follow up and check in or on customers spending their money in your establishment. Make sure they order is correct, make sure they got what they asked for etc..... read more

Still a great place for quality, appropriately priced sushi. I was disappointed when I couldn't find the spicy tuna salad on the updated menu. However, I checked online ordering just now and it's still offered, so you probably just have to ask for it if you're dining in. read more

Friendly Service! The Tuna Carpaccio was a standout item. We even kept the sauce to use for our other items. We enjoyed it so much that we ordered another! The shishito peppers were pleasant with a nice variety of spice accompanied on the side by what tasted like a citrusy powder. Very enjoyable and I liked that we could control the amount of citrus flavor we wanted for each bite. The fresh oysters were great. They were clean and fresh, and the ponzu sauce on top with a what appeared to be a dab of sriracha was a great amount of spice for each oyster. We followed the appetizers up with two rolls. The Snow Tuna roll was rich in taste with the bluefin toro on top. The Aztec (?) had shrimp tempura which was really tasty. The sauces on the rolls had a great balance to them and were not overly sauced One of the employees named Pinky gave us great recommendations for sake and we loved both of the ones we tried. Nigori is a bit sweeter and the Ginjo is a bit more dry. She recommended we start with a Ginjo if we wanted to try both and that was a fantastic recommendation as the Nigori was more similar to the dessert wine side of the spectrum. The employees were very friendly and were very prompt when we needed anything (like the second order of Tuna Carpaccio) read more
