I genuinely thought people were exaggerating how great this place was, especially when it came to authenticity. They were not. Not one item we ordered was bad and we ordered about 20 dishes. The ramen was the absolute winner. Best ramen I have had in San Diego. I was blown away by the broth and the noodles. The sushi was great, including the spicy tuna. Everything tasted fresh and fairly priced. You really can't beat these prices. The fried chicken and tuna carpaccio were standout appetizers. Honorable mention to the chicken katsu roll. It was insanely massive and so good. We will absolutely be back to try more appetizers and the ramen. We recently went to Japan and this ramen has been the closest we have had to what we experienced there. I didn't even take a picture of it before it was in my stomach!

I've lost count of how many times we've had dinner there, and each visit is just as wonderful as…read morethe last. The food is consistently incredible - seriously, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. And the team working there? Absolutely lovely! They're super efficient but also incredibly warm and welcoming, which really makes a difference. You absolutely, positively *have* to try their sushi rolls if you go. They're truly next-level good! On my most recent visit, I decided to try the Gyudon Bowl, and oh my goodness, it was such a delightful and comforting dish. So flavorful and perfectly prepared - definitely a new favorite of mine! Just a little heads-up though, finding parking in that area can sometimes be a bit of a challenge, but I promise you, the delicious food and fantastic experience are well worth the minor hassle. Hope you get a chance to check it out soon!

A good little Sushi/Ramen hidden gem in Chula Vista. Heard a lot about this place so I finally came…read more& yes I'm a fan. First let me start with the customer service, it was great, from the door to getting seated to the waiters checking on us & the cooks smiling & the speed & quality of the service was all great. And the prices are very reasonable, they don't open till 5 tho, for dinner basically, weekends can get busy so get there early. The food was very good, I got the Chula Vita Ramen & I'd get it again, very filling & flavorful. The sushi was very fresh & good & filling as well, Abre La Boca Mucho was our fav roll, it can be shared with another person for sure, Viva Chula Vista was a good roll too. Miso soup was ok & no garlic edamame they have lemon butter edamame, if you like lemon & butter flavor you'll like it, it was ok but it lack a bit of flavor for me. My fav item here was the Jalapeño Popper as an appetizer, 8 pieces & man let me tell you, it was mouth watering & on point, it's a must to start with. Overall I good little spot & we come again for sure, keep up the good work Naruto & see you soon :)

It was tougher than others that I've had and was oversalted, also expensive for the small amount it was (~19$). The deluxe katsu was very yummy. The meat was tender and the scallops were incredible.

Located in a small shopping center with a few parking spaces, Tanuki is a great tapas and standard sushi spot. It leans more toward Asian‑fusion tapas with some sushi rolls and a limited selection of nigiri and sashimi. If you're looking for specialty fish, a huge roll list, or omakase, this isn't that kind of sushi place. But if you want a wide selection of sake, fun fusion tapas, and some classic sushi options, this is your spot. I love that they have a small bar and that cozy, true hole‑in‑the‑wall feel. The staff is friendly, the vibe is relaxed, and it's the perfect place to come alone, with a friend, or for a casual date night. The quality is solid, and the service is fast and welcoming. They also have some great sake and green‑tea‑based drinks. I love it here -- definitely a go‑to spot for us.

I'm not a big fan of wasabi but this one was good. The crispy rice, salmon carpaccio, roasted striped bass, spicy scallop roll, spider roll . . . All good. The fish was fresh and they were all light. Also ordered a panna cotta and matcha cheesecake - both were good as well and nice way to finish our meal. At no time did we feel rushed. Service was friendly and they checked on us often.

We booked a 1:30pm reservation for 7 (4 kids). Nobody told us that they were closing at 2pm so when they told us it was last call for food and drinks, I was shocked and to be truly honest, angry. This place is not cheap. It seemed they were more interested in closing their books than giving my family (serious sushi lovers) the respect and patience we deserved. Frankly, they lost out as we would have purchased more sushi, but were pressured to order before last call, when we got our first order at 1:45. I won't be returning because as good as the sushi was, I prefer better service and not being rushed out the door.

I came recently with some friends on a Friday afternoon and thankfully we had reservations ahead of time. They were quite busy, but they regularly came to help refill water! The food itself was pretty good also! I enjoyed all of the skewers I got, although I wish some of them were a little more flavorful. However, they were cooked pretty well. The Beef Tongue cubes in particular were well cooked and well seasoned. The inside was decorated like a casual Japanese family restaurant with plenty of baseball references. Overall, Yokohama is a pretty good izakaya that I recommend!

Update: Came back tonight with my mom after a two year absence because my mom was craving beef tongue. Everything was even better than I remember. The wait staff was super friendly and accommodating. I loved the quail eggs, chicken wings, beef tongue with wasabi, and brussel sprouts. This is by far one of the best yakitori spots in San Diego. Highly recommend! Remember to call and make a reservation the day before! Update 2: Still insanely good. Call before for a reservation. Top items: Brussel sprouts, beef tongue, fried garlic, smashed fresh wasabi. This place is the gift that keeps on giving!

It's as close as you can get to Japan. The karage is very crispy and yet so light and airy. This is the only karage in the Convoy district that has flavor even in the meat not just in the coating. It's also very juicy. The sushi rolls were fresh. No fishy or slimy taste or texture. Rice game is on point. The grilled mackarel was well seasoned, tender and had a crispy skin. The cod was so flaky and melts in your mouth. The chef knows how to handle and cook fish better than fancy, expensive restaurants anywhere in San Diego. The oxtail soup had a sizeable meat and really rich broth without being salty. Everything was delicious. Parking is always tough in this lot. The restaurant has a very long wait on Fridays and weekends.
