    Perdon la foto pero no podiamos esperar a comer! Jajaja
    Marianna H.

    De mis favoritos!! Me encanta que tiene servicio de charolas para eventos, me han hecho quedar bien varias veces!!! Todo muy rico! Muy recomendado!

    Tostadas de Pulpo (octopus)
    Liliana B.

    Absolutely delicious!! This place did not disappoint. I went twice to Tijuana during my visit to San Diego, and had lunch here both times! Tostadas de pulpo are so flavorful and tasty. All their sushi rolls have been delicious (I've tried 6 different ones so far). Their service was fantastic both times I went! A total plus. Plenty of Japanese cuisine options on their menu, if you aren't in the mood for sushi. Strongly recommend this restaurant!

    Talk about fresh salmon!
    Nicolas J.

    Excellent sushi (and a ton of other options) at a reasonable price. The ramen is nice also. Great drinks as well. Check out their selection of local craft beers. The place can get pretty packed, but the service is excellent and the food is served with a quickness.

    Nicco Special
    Tanya B.

    We've had a lot of good sushi but this place by passes them all. They dont try to cover the fish by frying it and smothering it in sauces. Nicco was our chef and it just so happens that his special roll was my favorite. If you're looking for fresh fish good prices and a delicous cocktail, you dont want to pass this place up

    Lava roll
    Robert B.

    Docking a star for being stingy with the lemonade, only like 3 sips and glass was empty. Also wasabi was lacking flavor. Food was decent, not great, but just average. Service was good, wait staff was very attentive and helpful. They where also knowledgeable as the menu has pics of items with no description, so we had to ask what was in it. We won't be returning.

    Alaskan Roll
    Celia F.

    Started off with the Jalapeños Capeados they were really good and spicy. Then moved on to the Alaskan Roll.... oh my.... this roll is amazing, the flavor was so pleasing to the palate. I highly recommend this roll. For our last roll we had the Nico Roll, that one was also very delicious and fresh, but my fav is the Alaskan. So there was room for dessert and we got the plátano macho - everyone needs a little plátano macho in their lives.

    Rainbow Roll
    Adrienne G.

    Compared to sushi in the US, this place didn't even come close. It didn't quite cure my craving for sushi either. My fiancé and I ordered edamame, an Alaska Roll, a Rainbow Roll, and Coconut Shrimp. Pros: -the service: the waiters were attentive, polite, and professional -the ambiance: not loud or bright... it was very relaxing and quaint -the shrimp: it was YUMMO -the cold sake was nice Cons: -the pickled ginger they served was not sweet, at all - not much of a palate cleanser -the Alaska roll had the sweet taste I was looking for but way too mucho mayonnaise -the sushi rolls were room temperature at best... sushi should not be warm.. -the wasabi was not very potent -the rice served with the shrimp was not jasmine.. and the "salad" it came with was just a few leaves of spring mix with no dressing -the Sapporo was pricey ($165 pesos) -since the sake was available served cold, unfiltered sake would have been a nice option -the edamame were drenched in an off-tasting sauce... it had a fishy taste to it... edamame should be served steamed and lightly salted

    See all

    Horrible service. We were seated for over 10 minutes and no one came to even offer us drinks.
