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.

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!

It's alright I guess. At least within IB, you don't exactly have many options. I got a dragon roll,…read moreand it was normal? The shrimp is kinda meh, but otherwise there's nothing specific to complain about (well okay, there's lots of things I could complain about, but nothing too major) The portion of pickled ginger is a bit bigger. Like with other joints, I'm curious as to what they have other than sushi. This place does have quite a lot of other options as well, including bentos, ramen, etc. I seem to recall having the bentos here years ago and thought it was not bad, so I decided to try their ramen. Americans do seem very confused about types of ramen as tonkotsu ramen is almost always listed separately. Most likely, we discovered that this phrase sells as Americans want that meaty broth. Miso, shoyu, and shio describe the source of seasoning, the "tare," while tonkotsu is a form of "dashi," the broth umami. So probably your most common ramen is a tonkotsu miso; they're not mutually exclusive. As a result, it's more common for Japanese restaurants to list your options for "tare," without listing the broth because it's assumed that the base is tonkotsu no matter what you pick. Your actual contrast to tonkotsu would be options like chicken broth or niboshi. Anyways, I got a spicy tonkotsu ramen, and....I'm not sure if this can really be called tonkotsu even. Ironically, the broth has almost no meat flavor, but the seasoning is pretty good. It's definitely not under-salted, although I don't think the flavor has much depth and the consistency is a tad thin. Plus, the pork in it was actually big, fat, and juicy. I can't believe I'm saying this, but maybe a little bit too fatty even. But I still loved it. On the other hand, no menma, no kombu, and not enough green things. It does have a decent amount of bean sprouts. I guess there's no kamaboko either, but in my experience, the presence of surimi is inconsistent, and it's more ubiquitous in American-Japanese ramen anyways. Both the seasoning and noodles are kinda Chinese instead of Japanese. I already pointed out that the broth doesn't taste like tonkotsu, but the noodles are also way too thin. I mean, you can technically have thin ramen noodles, but even the texture doesn't seem right to me. There's also just a lot of broth and not much noodle imho. Some of that isn't surprising as I don't think there's anyone Japanese here; I can hear them speaking Cantonese in the back. Finally, they provided three shrimp with my bowl of ramen for some reason. I think this would be more common with udon or soba; it's rather unusual for ramen. Also, those shrimp would always be bigger and crispy. I'm pretty sure these are the same as the ones in the sushi rolls. The sushi rolls hide their taste and texture. But laid out like this, you can see that these are pretty subpar, small and soft, a very sad imitation of shrimp tempura. Three stars seems fair.

I've been coming to Meijo Sushi for a few years now. It's always open, it's always fast, and their…read morefood is good. I'm almost positive that this place was at some point a Mexican drive through because how could it not be (but an IB native could absolutely correct me). I've tried a number of the different things here, multiple rolls, both cold and baked (I'm an absolute sucker for baked and or deep fried rolls). Their handrolls and fills to the brim. I will say their selections outside of sushi are totes good. The udon, and soba are great. The rice bowls and sukiyaki are good too. Definitely don't skip on the non-sushi items. Pork Katsudon is one of the best around town. We usually eat in, but occasionally will take out. Fast service, always a spot. This place is consistent, and up there with our most visited spots locally. (Somehow no pictures!!!)

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 :)
