In response to Paulina A.'s one-star review, I was at the restaurant the night you and your family…read morewere being very rude and harassing the staff. You claim that you "were being treated differently because we are Mexican", when in reality all that happened was one of the staff members spoke to you in Spanish because that is the language you had been speaking all night. And since a huge portion of San Diegans know Spanish, they were in no way treating you differently. Another detail you failed to mention was that, by the time your waiter kindly informed you that would he be needing your table soon for an incoming reservation, you had already been at the restaurant for hours and had been finished eating for a very long time. And the manager even gave you yet another hour on top of all this before she had to resort to calling the police to escort you off the premises for trespassing. But hey, at least you got your free meal out of your horrendous behavior. I am extremely impressed by the professionalism and kindness every single staff member showed even while they were being verbally abused by one family. And not to mention the fantastic food we enjoy every time we come here!

Our server was too cute. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and let us take our time with ordering. She also gave our friend a few suggestions on non alcoholic drink choices. We ordered a few appetizer, rolls and individual pieces. Everything was super fresh and tasty. Appetizers: Crispy rice and spicy tuna (2 orders!) Wagyu dumplings Oysters We each ordered a roll. I can't remember what everyone ordered but my roll was the sunshine and holy cow, it was good. The citrus ponzu was so perfect. Also ordered the sake salmon sashimi, uni nigiri and ikura nigiri. I had the asahi, my friend had the Sapporo light and our other friend ordered a mocktail and the Jasmin tea. We were so satisfied with everything! We will be back!

Food is ok for what it's worth, nothing mind blowing. Because most of the seating is upstairs, it is kinda warm and the noise level gets a bit loud. Only street parking but surprisingly not full on a Sunday night. My family & I came here to celebrate my sister's birthday, and she had been wanting to try Azuki Sushi for the longest time. I've also heard good things but it fell short of expectations. While our meal was enjoyable, it wasn't anything special. I also found the akira roll to be a bit disappointing, just not my cup of tea. And the sashimi was too fatty for some pcs and too buttery for others. As sushi experts, we've definitely had better!

Super small and intimate service, never felt rushed and very attentive staff. Extensive sake list and more than the usual options for beer. Chef Maru recommended to take photos upside down to get a better angle and he's so right lol The nigiri was great and I loved how the menu switched from fresh snappy bites to buttery melt in your mouth pieces, never felt like the last piece was competing with the next. I loved that crab was used in multiple dishes, like the warm dish and soup. I wish the nigiri was bigger in general, on the smaller side compared to other spots. Tuna lovers will appreciate how many dishes had tuna. The warm dish (seabass w hairy crab sauce) was one of my favorites, the hairy crab sauce consistency reminded me of banh canh cua. Tuna is from Mexico, most veggies and fruits were from Chino farms.

I was really looking forward to Sushi Maru omakase. I made reservations for the late seating at…read more8pm. Once arrived we were seated about 5 minutes later. They were still setting up. My first impression of the restaurant was, it was beautiful restaurant with a counter that seats 14. First off, Chef Maru and his entire staff was absolutely fantastic and professional. They were all attentive on refilling water and tea. Chef Maru himself was absolutely awesome, he explained each course that was served. Which was the right way to do it. Omakase: Omakase 20 pieces at $180. It's a great price, but in my head there had to be a catch to it. The starter and appetizer started out strong. Everything (fish) were all fresh, so when the nigiri course started that's when everything went south. The nigiri that chef served was really small and it's not your standard size nigiri .There's barley any shari ( sushi rice) and fish. If felt like I was sampling each nigiri. You can't really enjoy it when it's that small.The only highlight was the Uni from San Diego. That felt like a month full, other than that everything just felt like a tease. Don't let my photos fool you, it was all zoomed in. My wife and I had many omakase before and lelf happy and satisfied. This was the first time that we ever left after an omakase meal and was still hungry and a little disappointed. I would love to give Sushi Maru more stars but I just can't after this vist.

Very kid-friendly, great value for the price, and they do something fun for birthdays too. Definitely one of my favorite sushi spots!

The quality of the fish here is absolutely exceptional easily some of the best sushi I've had anywhere!!! You can tell they take an incredible amount of pride in what they serve. The presentation, preparation, and quality of the ingredients truly feel like an art. The otoro is unreal. It literally melts in your mouth and is worth whatever the market price is that day. The richness, marbling, texture, and freshness are just perfection. The tuna overall is phenomenal, and the sweet shrimp is another favorite, the presentation alone is beautiful, and the flavor is even better. Honestly, you really can't go wrong with anything you order here. Everything tastes incredibly fresh and thoughtfully prepared. If you genuinely appreciate high-quality, traditional sushi and exceptional fish, Ikiru is an absolute must in San Diego.

They also have a really good happy hour menu, which makes it even better. I believe happy hour is all day Sunday and Monday, and from 3-5 PM on the other days.

An extra star for the thoughtful and child-friendly service…read more I brought my 6 year old here for sushi after trying to get into Sugarfish and then Azuki. There was no wait here but parking was a nightmare and there is almost no street parking right around the restaurant which is near the trolley tracks. I recalled coming here for a light dinner with my husband many years ago and thinking it was good, but expensive. I asked if they had Japanese soda for my daughter because it was not on the menu, and they said no, but after we came back from the bathroom the host had found one for us. They gave us chopstick helpers and were very nice. We ordered braised pork belly as an app and wagyu nigiri, albacore, hamachi, salmon belly, 2 salmons, and unagi. I think that was all. They nicely split the order so half had no wasabi for the kid. They were very considerate and I appreciated it. The food however took a while to come out. The braised pork belly was ok, but the fat had not rendered as well as at some other places so we ate around it. The flavor was good though. The hamachi was probably the best item-tender and tasty. The albacore was standard and a generous piece, but the salmon was a bit tough and my kid who usually inhales salmon tasted and then left the salmon. The wagyu had good flavor but was surprisingly chewy. For $26 I would expect it to melt in your mouth but it was not easy to bite through. The eel was very tender but had a weird taste, and was disappointing. I found myself chewing on a scale from maybe the salmon and was overall underwhelmed by the food. The bill for a soda and the sushi came to almost $150 after tax and tip for me and a 6-year old. Usually my husband and I and my kid go to places with better quality and pay the same price for the three of us. Will not be back.
