Riley W.

I think I found my new favorite sushi place!! We came for dinner on a Saturday night and the wait was not long at all. The service is exceptional, they are so kind and attentive. I think what I loved most is that everything is truly made fresh to order. It took about 10-15 minutes to get anything we ordered which I super appreciated!! The tuna is beyond fresh it's ridiculous & their baked scallop roll was so flavorful I was obsessed. I cannot wait to try their Chinese food too. The amount of people coming in for takeout was insane (in a good way) - probably in our hour there, they had 20 people come in for takeout orders. Can't wait to be back!

Came here for lunch, just in time for happy hour. Loved every bite and every sip! Can't beat the prices or quality!

5/5 for service + food & price. Everything was great. Small little hidden place in Spring Valley CDO. The server was polite and helpful. Our food was brought out relatively quick during dinner hours. The price of the food was not pricey. Plenty of parking with limited seating inside. Everything tasted fresh and was great. Would definitely recommend! Cant wait to be back.

So I was waiting until I actually dined in and had the full experience to write a full review but now that I've moved out of the area, I'm afraid I won't get that chance now even though this place was bookmarked for me to try for the longest even while I was in the neighborhood. So I ordered through GrubHub and I still think everything was delicious! They have a combination of Chinese foods and Japanese sushis. I ordered an Adam and Eve Roll which was good. The 2 main stars of the show were the scallop roll and the salt and pepper chicken wings! Okay where do I even start?! The scallop roll came from the basic rolls so I was expecting it to be pretty basic. No one told me they were going to put raw scallops omg it was sooo good and soft! Melted like butter in my mouth. Then the salt and pepper chicken wings might be up there on top wings in SD because not only do they load that thing with garlic but they also dice up tiny red bell peppers and omg what a game changer!

Got the highly reviewed Spring Valley roll and cucumber salad. Dressing on the cucumber salad was too heavy, and the roll was too heavy on the spice that it masked any flavor of the fish. The albacore on the top was dried out, the texture tough like jerky. The rice was dry and overworked and you could feel the texture of every grain. Restaurant was very cluttered, tables sticky. Service was good as they were very attentive. Just not impressed by the food.

This was a sleeper hit of a restaurant ... I live in Spring Valley, and asian food caters to the demographic #iykyk. I was a bit hesitant to try this place because I love chinese food and lately its just been hit or miss. Also, sushi/chinese can sometimes be not what you expect. ANYWAY, let me go back to my experience with Ayumi. Small cozy restaurant that has about 8-10 tables. Its apparent they do a lot of take out. It's in a small plaza but there is plenty of parking. You're greeted warmly when going inside, and there's an A-Frame in the front that tells you the daily special. The pictures here on yelp and google helped a lot in making my food decisions. I love my orange chicken not too much breading, and an even sauce to nugget ratio. Some of the other chinese restaurants in the immediate area are wayyyy too saucy or too breaded. I chose the Sweet & Pungent chicken, bc that sounded good ... boy it did not disappoint. It came out on a bed of crispy noodles and steamed broccoli. The pieces were evenly sauced and sticky the way I love it ... so I can only imagine the orange chicken, sweet and sour, and whatever else is fried will be decent. Definitely coming back just for this. My bf had the kung pao trio, and it was probably the most decent I've had in a while. The prices are reasonable for the area for the sushi, the chinese food, and even the beverages (some places be gouging for beer), and I'm going to be trying this place out for the lunch specials which is always a good combo of entree, appetizer, and drink. 5 stars for the chinese food, Can't wait to try the sushi next time.

Today I ordered the Ayumi roll, a scallop roll, both spicy, and some miso soup. These guys have the best sushi in this whole area, and their soups are better than anyone else's, they actually have something in the soup, a lot of something. It can't help but taste better because there are so much stuff in their soups. The service is always great, and you are greeted when you come in the door. Normally, it's nice and quiet, even when it's busy. I can't wait to come back for some of the best sushi you can find in the San Diego area.

Elizabeth N.

Definitely recommend their popcorn green bean and yellowtail carpaccio. I wasn't a fan of their chicken wing I felt like there was lots of batter and not a lot of flavor. Salmon skin salad was good.

This place is so good, the lady at the front was so nice i order togo and it was fast

I've been wanting to try this place out since their opening and finally got a chance this weekend. It definitely did not disappoint. They serve Chinese and Japanese dishes although the only Chinese options we ordered was an appetizer and soups. The inside of the restaurant is fairly small but comfortable. We were seated right away and service was fairly fast. It's always nice when you're greeted with a smile and served delicious, fresh food. We were hungry and started out with some fried gyoza, wonton soup and hot and sour soup. We knew from the first bite, the rest of the food was going to be tasty. My hubby ordered "Leave it to the Chef" and I ordered "Ayumi Roll". Both were soooo good and we can't wait to try out the other ones. Plenty of parking and is easy to spot. The prices were reasonable and servings were plentiful.

Real brief Ayumi...just wanted to share a positive food experience at Ayumi. Keep up the great work, your food and service are consistent. Looking forward to coming back to Ayumi again and again.

We keep coming back. This time we ordered the Protein Roll, Las Vegas Roll, and California Roll, and the balance was perfect. The rice-to-filling ratio here is always spot on. We also got the salt and pepper boneless chicken (white meat), which was our second time ordering it. It was crispy, juicy, and tender. We paired it with the light fried rice on the side, it's just plain delicious. I like to add the toppings from the chicken and mix it with the fried rice.

Sushi dinner on a Sunday night, heck yeah! I was in the mood for sushi but not in the mood for the waitlists of Hillcrest, Mission Hills, North Park, etc. Plus I didn't want to drive far. This was a quick drive from our house and got great reviews, so why not! The dining room is moderate sized, about 6-8 tables, plus a bar with 3-4 seats at the counter, so you may still have to wait a little bit if they are super busy, but we got there before the rush and got right in. The menu is very diverse, but don't let it scare you, they do both Chinese food and Sushi with some asian fusion dishes as well. We stuck with the sushi but I definitely want to come back and try the Chinese food. The sushi was legit, quality and fresh ingredients and great flavor combos. We had 3 orders of rolls, a sake, and I had a glass of chardonnay. The wine is VERY reasonable here, $5.99 a glass! Those are happy hour prices ALL day long.. It's not a fancy glass of chard, but it paired perfectly with the sushi. Service was good, fast at first, slowed down a bit when they got busy but we never had to wait too long! The rolls were delicious, we had the Las Vegas roll, which was crunchy fried deliciousness, the jalapeño was on the top so if you wanted it less spicy you just took it off. I didn't think it was too spicy even with the topping. We also had the citrus and gold dust roll. The citrus roll was definitely zesty and spicy, for those who like spice! The gold dust roll was PERFECT, it was my favorite. It had a little crunch inside of it and it wasn't too spicy. Definitely will be reordering that one. All in all 5 stars here for the price, very affordable and delicious sushi!

I heard this was a good new place for Chinese so my friend and I had lunch there today. It was GREAT!!! I had Cashew Chicken and she had Chicken and Vegetables. Both were exceptional, fresh, and so tasty! The service staff is gracious and kind. I wish the place was bigger as I want to come for dinner some night and I am imagining that with food this good it may be quite crowded! It would be worth waiting for if necessary!!! It was pretty full at lunchtime on a weekday. So glad Ayumi is here with their great menu! read more

Favorite new sushi spot in SD. I have super high standards when it comes to sushi. There used to be really only 1 places in SD I liked sushi. Thank goodness I found another, and so close to home! Ayumi makes perfect sushi in my opinion. Their fish is SO FRESH & you can tell it is high quality. Their tuna has a vibrant color & is not fishy at all like most places. Their hamachi is tender and mild and delicious. I don't doubt that every type of fish they serve is top notch. Their rice is perfectly cooked and the rice layer is perfectly thin. The rolls are a perfect size & did not fall apart. The sauces are incredible! I highly recommend trying their yuzu sauce on the side of the hamachi roll for dipping! It is so tangy and bright. Can't get over how great the prices are for such high quality fish. I will come back to this place at least twice a month because of it. Also, the staff is so friendly and kind. The place looks great & is clean and inviting. I can't wait for more people in Casa De Oro to try this place! It is going to be a hit with the locals. Can't say enough good things about it. So excited that I finally have a good sushi spot so close to home. :) read more

It's a small place and gets very busy. If you live close call it in because tables are limited. They have great specials too! The prices are good but you'll want to try all their rolls! The sushi is fresh and you can tell the difference from other sushi restaurants in the area. We go at least 3 times a month. We definitely recommend giving them a try.

Ayumi Sushi has the best sushi that I have ever eaten! That's in thanks to the awesome Sushi Chef Quang! He does an amazing job! I love the atmosphere here as well! To me, it's a very inviting and fun place to go to! Everyone is friendly and makes you feel at home! I have tried their teriyaki chicken also, and it was tender and delicious! I normally order a salmon & avocado cut roll, which is absolutely "out of this world", as well as their shrimp appetizer! We took my son there and he had the Ayumi Sushi Don with tuna and he said he'll definitely be back for more! I love this place and I cannot say that I actually "love" any other restaurant in San Diego County! There's a lot of really good ones, but this is my favorite one of all and we love seeing Quang as well! read more

I then ordered shrimp tempura and the salt and pepper wings, both were delicious however the wings were incredible nice and crunchy and seasoned perfectly. I then ordered of the lunch menu Mongolian beef and it came with rice and noodles a cream cheese wonton and a gyoza. It also comes with egg drop soup that my wife really enjoyed. We also ordered sweet and pungent shrimp that came with a broccoli garnish. These were some of the best shrimp dish I have had in a long time. Pictures don't do it justice.

Besides the service though I ended up ordering a spicy basil with chicken and I did not realize they'd give out the rice in a heart shaped but I thought it was nice touch. The dish overall was solid; good amount of spice, plenty of meat//veggies and a flavorful sauce that complimented it all. One of the workers also came by and just randomly gave me a Thai tea and said it was on the house. The Thai tea itself was good as well, just the right balance of milk, sugar and tea. If I still lived near SDSU I would definitely return here!

This is a long way of saying that I know I'm talking about when it comes to sushi, and konnichiwa has managed to get consistent. excellent praise from Me and those I've frequented this sushi stop with. I love it, and I would love to explain why it's one of my top three recommended sushi stops in all of San Diego County. First, the location is fun and the eclectic. It's fairly easy to find parking near downtown La Mesa; even if you have to walk a block or two, the price is more than worth it. While the restaurant can get busy, service is excellent, there are good indoor and outdoor accommodations, and the staff is efficient along with being friendly and helpful, so even on a busy day you won't have to wait too long. The menu selections are great, and they have only improved with time; for example, during my last visit, they had added more drinks to the menu, along with a special team menu that included a new selection of poke bowls, which were wonderful; the best I've had yet, extremely fresh, flavorful, and generous! Although the prices are on the higher end, the majority of it is reasonable, especially for the quality that you get. Overall, I cannot recommend konnichiwa enough! There are really only one or two other sushi spots that can rival this hidden gem in the county; it is well worth the visit.

They have stayed the exact same as I remember with the neon green walls and their menu. Was it authentic by any means? No, but it definitely gave me a feel for what sushi was and introduced me to Japanese cuisine on a budget. I was in the area and decided to get a roll. Their menu included non-sushi items like udon and bento boxes. They have a limited selection of nigiri, and some donburi bowls. I went for their Salmon Maki roll which includes a side salad and two pieces of gyoza. It was a great deal, and I ate it fresh. The roll was a good ratio, and their rice is gummier than other sushi rice I've had, but it was decent. To add on, I wanted to try their tuna and got 2 pc of nigiri. There was a lot of rice so I took some out, but the fish was also just standard quality you would get a at a poke chain. Overall, I enjoyed the sushi roll and there's not much places that exist like SushiMan, offering Japanese food for reasonable prices. The service was friendly and my to-go order was done in about 15 minutes.

My favorites are the Umami Roll, Kona Roll, Caterpillar roll, and the stuffed mushrooms. I always tell people to eat the Umami roll first in case the other rolls affect the experience of the umami roll. It is light in flavor but altogether, the ingredients and texture are perfectly put together to hit you at different points. When you first have the piece in your mouth, you'll get that sesame flavor with maybe a hint of salt but as you chew, you get this surprisingly wonderful crisp in the center combined with savory and hint of sweet flavor. The kona roll is also one of my favs because the slices of lemon as topper is a GAME CHANGER. Caterpillar roll is also a hit among my friends. It's hard to even tell that any of these rolls are vegan. Everyone that I have introduced these rolls to are shocked that these are vegan because they would not have known if I didn't tell them.

Ayumi, the newest addition to the Casa de Oro neighborhood, is a delightful blend of Chinese and Japanese cuisine that's already making waves. The interior is bright, clean, and tastefully decorated with simple touches that create a welcoming atmosphere. The staff is friendly, and the service was impressively speedy, making the dining experience smooth and enjoyable. We started with the **Salt and Pepper Wings** ($16.95), which were absolutely delicious. They arrived piping hot with a super crunchy texture that we couldn't get enough of. From the sushi menu, we tried the **Hamachi Heaven Roll** ($14.95), which was good, and the **Sunrise Serenity Roll** ($13.95), which was flavorful and perfectly balanced--not overly spicy. Additionally, the **salmon, tuna, and yellowtail nigiri** stood out with their freshness, generous portions, and excellent quality. Ayumi is a fantastic addition to the area, offering a mix of flavors that are both satisfying and well-executed. I'm excited to return and explore more of the menu in the future! read more

My partner and I visited Ayumi Sushi for dinner recently, and it was such a delightful experience! This place is a hidden gem with a wide selection of menu items that cater to sushi lovers and beyond. The interior has a cozy, modern vibe that makes you want to settle in and enjoy your meal. We decided to sit at the sushi bar, which turned out to be a great choice--it's always fun to watch the chefs work their magic. The highlight of the night was definitely their "Leave It to the Chef" roll. It's not just a roll--it's a work of art. Every bite was a creative surprise, and you can tell the chef really puts thought and care into it. Their handrolls were equally impressive, with fresh ingredients that made each one melt in your mouth. Ayumi Sushi is definitely a spot to check out if you're in the area. Bring a friend--or better yet, a group--and try a bit of everything. You won't be disappointed! read more

This place is incredible! We primarily tried a variety of sushi and carpaccio, and every dish was absolutely delicious. The prices are very reasonable for sushi, especially considering the quality, and they also offer other great Chinese options. Everyone in our group loved it, and I'm already looking forward to coming back. The restaurant has a cozy, lowkey vibe with limited seating. We were seated right away, but I can see it getting busy during peak times, so it might be worth planning ahead. The service was fantastic--friendly, attentive, and efficient. The fish was incredibly fresh, the prices were fair, and the staff was welcoming and happy. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving excellent sushi and more! Enjoy! read more

I had an amazing experience at Ayumi! The service was excellent--very attentive and friendly throughout my visit. The restaurant was clean, well-organized, and inviting, which made the dining experience even better. I ordered the crème cheese wontons, 619 roll, eel roll, chicken wings, orange chicken, and chicken teriyaki. Everything was absolutely delicious! The flavors were spot on, and the presentation was great. My soda came in a can, which was totally fine by me. I was visiting the area and stopped here on a whim, and I'm so glad I did! Ayumi has definitely earned a spot on my list for a return trip next time I'm in Spring Valley. Thank you, Ayumi, for a wonderful dining experience! read more

Tried this spot for the first time and I'm honestly mad I didn't come sooner. I got the 619 roll and it was SO good--crispy on the outside, packed with flavor, and the sauces on top were . Every bite had that perfect crunch + creamy combo. You can tell it's made fresh. Portion size was solid too--they did not skimp at all. Only tiny thing I'd change...the chopsticks felt a little cheap , like I might catch a splinter lol. Not a big deal, just something I noticed. Overall, definitely recommend. I'll for sure be back for that 619 roll again read more

We were not greeted by an employee at the hostess stand and finally sat ourselves. It took 15 minutes for a server to greet us and ask for our drink order. Once he arrived for our drink order we put in a small food order to test out the quality of proteins. It took 40 minutes to get two hand rolls and one albacore sashimi order. The order took so long to arrive that once it did, we quickly put in a specialty roll order before trying the hand rolls. The specialty roll came out in two minutes flat, I did see a roll sitting on the sushi bar before we ordered. I believe we got someone else's roll because I asked about the long wait times. After the roll was delivered a server came over to our booth specifically to make a snarky comment, he said "you're lucky this was fast, people wait 1 hour for this on Fridays." The restaurant was clean, had a neat wall painting and the parking was free, those are the only positive experiences from our visit. The sashimi was dry as if it had been sitting out not properly stored. Hand rolls were mostly rice, the only protein is what you can see in the pic - gone in one bite of a 4 bite roll. The specialty roll was average. This was a very unpleasant experience, we will not go back and will not recommend to friends/family/yelpers. It should also be noted that we went on a Sunday afternoon and there were 3 sushi chefs behind the counter, 3 servers on the floor and 1 host. Hard to understand why the wait times were excessive and service was poor. Our server did acknowledge that the service was slow, however, he did not offer any apology, he just shrugged it off.

Definitely going back for those and highly recommend if you're a wing lover. The white rice was just okay for me - I wish it had been a little fresher and fluffier, more like the classic steamed rice I was expecting. Adding some soy sauce and chili oil helped a bit though! But honestly, the wings made up for it. Also, cash only, so be prepared before you go! I did spot a flyer showing they take Venmo too, but I didn't ask - good to know! The prices are good, and it helps that they keep everything affordable. Overall, Chef China is a solid hidden gem for quick Chinese takeout - fast service, crispy wings, and good flavors that hit the spot. Can't wait to try the rest of their menu next time!

Our lunch date here was great the other day! We arrived a little after opening and were pleasantly…read moresurprised to find out it was happy hour. A quick tip on the menu design, though: it's a bright pink layout with items grouped together by price going across. The way the items are framed inside a bubble makes it look like a sampler where you get everything listed for that price. It's just a design choice, but I'd definitely recommend updating it to avoid confusion! As for the food, I assumed the Brussels sprouts would be halved, crispy, and tossed in sauce. Instead, they were served whole, boiled or steamed, and then gently stir-fried in a lot of sauce. They turned out pretty mushy, which isn't how I usually prefer them. I love Brussels sprouts, but I definitely prefer the crispy version, so I wouldn't order these again. On the bright side, we absolutely enjoyed our sushi rolls! Each roll came with 10-12 pieces, which is fantastic value. I've been hunting for a new go-to sushi spot, so this was a great find. The service was also really good. Our server refilled our waters frequently and checked in often to see if we needed anything else. My only other critique is the entrance. It feels a bit uninviting and actually looks closed when you walk up. We stood outside looking a little silly before realizing you just can't see inside because the windows are completely blacked out. It's also a bit dark on the inside, and there were a few annoying gnats flying around. Overall, great sushi and service, and with a few minor adjustments, this place could be even better!
