Caterpillar roll

I made a reservation at Chef JUN to celebrate a graduation. The nigiri and sashimi were super fresh and not fishy. I personally thought that the pieces were a bit small but extremely high quality. Our server was extremely attentive and kind. My favorite pieces had to be the truffle tuna. The uni was good but it could have been sweeter. It was fresh and not bitter but also not sweet like Hokkaido uni. I thought that tempura shrimp was good but the batter wasn't tempura batter and it was pretty thick. The ambiance was really nice with all the cherry blossom trees around. Overall a great experience and a place to definitely check it out.

Spicy Tuna Cracker and Edamame

Chef Jun is a great spot for a quick bite, especially for their happy hour. It is weekdays from 3-5pm, and they offer any draft beer half off. For food, edamame is $3, gyoza is $4, stuffed jalapeno is $7, and their spicy tuna cracker is $8. I got to enjoy my favorite Crispy Tuna Rice and some edamame, and it was enough for me! The space of this location is by far my favorite as it is much newer and there is a large amount of seating. Happy Hour is definitely slow, so I didn't have to experience much of a wait time on anything and was able to enjoy my quick dinner solo. I will definitely be back as their deals are pretty good!

**August 2026: Sunday Evening Visit** My friend and I were in the mood for a sashimi dinner while we were in San Diego, but unfortunately, many of the hot spots required reservations. We decided on Chef Jun since they allowed walk-ins, and the setting seemed like a great environment! With the location right in the middle of a plaza and ample parking Sushi Jun seemed like a great place to enjoy a good meal. We shared the Sushi Kaidan for two ($199), which included an assortment of sashimi and sushi, plus a handroll and miso soup. Honestly, the presentation was really impressive and for the amount of food provided seemed like it was appropriately priced. They arranged the sashimi pieces on a stair-like display, and in the center they had a bowl of freshly cut sashimi. We were also given the option to eat the shrimp head raw or fried. We both went for fried, and it was really good. The fried shrimp was crispy and made it easy to eat the whole thing. The setup was very impressive, and the snow crab sushi bite was my favorite piece. The "meat" was really tender, and against the slight char on the outside, the contrast really amplified the crab's sweetness. The ebi sushi bite was served raw and was very refreshing, and it was my next favorite. But for some reason, the other sushi and sashimi pieces weren't memorable. I think either the fish flesh was really bland, or other ingredients like the wasabi or other paired ingredients just overpowered the piece and the flavor combos just didn't tickle my senses. The top, more premium fish was the otoro. It was beautifully rich and fatty, but the truffle definitely overpowered it, which was a shame. They also provided a complimentary dessert - but it was very heavy and dense, which also did help me leave with a great impression. The meal was okay which really bums me out since I love sushi and sashimi.

I give this place 4.5 stars! We came here to celebrate our anniversary. I thought they had omakase but apparently they no longer offer that and it's AYCE now. They have a regular AYCE for $41.99 and a premium AYCE for $93.99. We went for the premium AYCE and it was fabulous! All the premium fish like toro, yellow tail, blue fin tuna. Amber jack, sea bream, uni in sashimi and nigiri style. Many sushi rolls, hand rolls and hot items are included too. We ate mostly sashimi and nigiri. Our favorites were the yellow tail, scallop, toro, salmon and Amber Jack sashimi. I enjoyed the hand rolls too. Some items you can only get 1-2 times like their toro roll which was very good. Not a lot of rice on it. We must have eaten 35 items each! One of those items we decided to try was the tonkatsu ramen. It was just ok as the broth wasn't rich in flavor. I had to try it but now I know to just stick to the fish. They allow a 90 min seating and you can only order up to 5 items at a time per person. We ordered 7 rounds. Our server Elena was very good at her job. She was so sweet to comp us a black sesame dessert with a happy anniversary sign. The decor in this restaurant was very cute with moons and cherry blossom trees throughout the restaurant. My only feedback is that there were some idle moments where we had to wait for our server to come back to us so we could order more food. It doesn't take long to eat 5 pieces of sashimi at a time. LOL. So if the server is busy with other customers, you have to just wait til she returns which does eat into your 90 min window. It's almost better if they had iPads at each table so you can order food on your own pace, but still keep the same roles with only 5 items person per round. Elena did her best to come back to us as quickly as she could. And as mentioned 7 rounds was plenty for us. It was a great experience and we will be back!

Food: The food was amazing! We got the Jun San and I will say that each item for the set was amazing! The standout for sure was the 4 pc chef choice sushi as each item was well thought out and made me want to grab another. But ofc, all the other items were great too since each one was well thought out so you're getting more than just simply a regular sushi/sashimi bite. Location: There is plenty of parking in the area! Not only that, there is plenty of indoor seating so it doesn't feel like you need to worry about reserving really early on! Service: The service is definitely the standout! Our server Luis was very helpful in answering all of our questions about what to select and gave his thoughts on the menu and what each item would be best suited for the occasion! He even gave tips on how to best enjoy different items of the menu such as like adding more soy sauce vs having no need for more. The ppl there also made sure we could go at our pace vs a slower pace if we wanted to enjoy a true omakase experience. Overall: Overall, it is definitely worth trying! The pricing is definitely justified for not only the food but also the experience! I would come here again and recommend others to come!

I am reviewing a to-go experience. The servers were kind and the food came out quite quickly. The inside of the restaurant was very pretty when I swung by, especially the cherry blossoms. That being said, the rolls I ordered tasted relatively average and did not leave a lasting impression.

Shar M.

We love coming here! One of the most beautiful mid priced Asian restaurants in San Diego. You can dress up for a special occasion or come in casual. The decor is eye-catching with beautiful cherry blossom trees inside and cozy lanterns on every table. Our favorite item on the menu is the crispy tuna cracker. Another go to is rainbow roll here, very good! The service is always wonderful. The girls are super nice. Bring the family and kids- the restaurant is family friendly.

Melissa S.

The fish was super fresh and delicious. The quality is amazing. The Jun Sama combo Kappo was perfect. So much variety and flavors. The interior was beautiful and service was good. I will definitely be coming back!

Well, hubby's craving sushi foodie and I highly recommend this place because I have been here before with my daughter and the food was amazing and delicious. We ordered drinks Sapporo and watermelon mint a mocktail mojito. Food: spicy edamame appetizer, tuna Tataki. The tuna was seared I loved it ! Hubby's prefers raw tuna but he still ate it, we also ordered tonkotsu ramen noodles so flavorful and the sashimi salad my all time fave !!! So tasty and the slices of fresh sushi grade raw fish was so good! And lastly just checking the menu again and wanted to try the Chilean sea bass misoyaki omg!!! Move over Nobu this one is so heavenly delish and melts in your mouth and so pretty to eat. It was very tasty another fave ! it was rich buttery inspired dish marinated with white miso paste. My bad I didn't order a white wine dry Riesling. Only a side of rice lol. Will order it again next time. Our server Michael is a sweet guy always checking on us very friendly and attention to details. Can't wait to come back again and will bring my daughter, we all Loved sushi ! I literally loved the artificial pink cherry blossoms trees decor it makes the place so relaxing and beautiful. If you haven't visited this place before you should check it out! Great food, ambience and great service. They opened Tues to Sunday and closed on Monday 12pm-9pm. Kampai !!!

The sushi was amazing, especially for the price point! Our waiter Gary was great, he's super nice and gave us recommendations. Would definitely come back.

We love the other Chef JUN location and have been several times! We had some friends in town visiting and since we were close to the Point Loma location we knew it would be perfect for lunch! We stopped in and got rolls this time and they were delicious! Our server was extremely friendly and she has also helped us out over at the Bay Ho location! Shoutout Elena!! You're the best!

Eliko S.

We popped in because we w were craving Japanese food, and the last few times we visited were great! We were seated right away in a cute booth. The food came out very promptly. We had some gyoza, tempura, and two rolls - avati & red dragon. Everything was tasty as usual & Lily took good care of us. The place is very clean, charming, and spacious. I mean who doesn't love Cherry blossoms and moon light fixtures? I miss the little cat chopsticks holders (neko hashioki) but other than that, everything was great! We'll be back soon! Arigato gozaimasu!

Salmon carpaccio
Diane S.

Only had time for a quick lunch bite at Chef JUN but it was so satisfying! Food as art always pleases me and this plate was Instagram worthy! Tuna was fresh and beautifully marinated. The avocado lent a creaminess to the dish. The small fruit bites added sweetness at the finish. I will be back for a full meal soon!! They are open all day so you can get a full meal anytime. The service is so friendly and quick. I like sitting at the sushi bar. It's a clean Japanese inspired interior and very relaxing. Full open parking lot too!

My whole group ordered a bowl of ramen each - perfect for the San Diego overcast, especially during this season. I ordered the Me So Hot which was a nutty and spice-packed ramen. All the components being broken up reminded me of a mazemen, which I like. Also, brussel sprouts in ramen surprised me pretty well - I liked the bite they had! Maddie, our server, was super sweet and made sure we were well accomodated. Moreover, she even provided our group with Fried Pork Dumplings on the house! Super considerate, we appreciate the gesture! Need to visit again when I'm back in San Diego!

Ikiru is still a 10/10! I love coming here for a special evening to enjoy top-quality sushi…read more The eel was incredible. I usually don't like it at other places because it can be chewy or overcooked, but here it's so soft it practically melts in your mouth. Amazing texture and flavor! The mango roll with albacore and tuna purée was delicious, and the protein roll was beautifully presented, wrapped in cucumber and packed with different fish. Definitely one of my favorites! Yellowtail belly and otoro are always must orders for me. Some of the best quality fish I've had, and they never disappoint. You can gently press the fish against the roof of your mouth with your tongue and it just melts. SO good! The sweet shrimp is another must. They keep them live and prepare them to order, ours was so fresh it was still moving when it arrived! After you finish the sashimi, they take the head back and fry it for a delicious, crunchy treat. We arrived a few minutes before they opened at 5, and there was already a line. It's a small, intimate restaurant, and they don't take reservations, so arriving early is a good idea. I love sitting at the sushi bar and being served one plate at a time. You get to slow down and really enjoy each dish before the next arrives, which makes the whole evening feel special.

The workers were super nice and genuinely seemed to care about helping us find things we would like. We weren't completely sure what to order, so they helped us pick out a few different rolls and everything tasted really fresh. The spicy tuna roll was probably my favorite. We also ordered the Las Vegas roll thinking it was going to come deep fried, which it didn't, but I actually still really liked it. We ended up getting a pretty big variety of rolls to share, which was nice because we got to try a little bit of everything. We also went to Cannonball right on the beachfront during our trip, and while Cannonball definitely has the better ocean view, I actually preferred Mizu a little more for the food and atmosphere. Mizu is on the bay side so it's a lot quieter and more peaceful, which I really liked. Overall, really fresh sushi, great service and a much more laid-back atmosphere. Definitely a good spot if you're in mission and care more about the food and a quieter setting than having the beachfront view.

It was some of the best garlic flavored wings I've had by far. My man had the short ribs which were perfectly flavored and tender and I chose the sizzling fish. I liked the fish, it was a very nice size dish but unfortunately I had to trade it in because I was feeling uneasy.

The flavor itself was really good but there was something about the texture of the crispy noodle that wasn't my jam. The egg rolls, though, were fantastic. They were perfectly crunchy and flavorful. There are so many other dishes on the menu that caught my eye, so I will definitely come back to try some of their other options.
