Honestly needed this so thank you to them! No AC at my place so I came by to eat some lunch and chill! The food was delicious and will be coming back again for more. The music was also super good! Ariana Grande yes plz!!

Rom P.

Fresh, well-balanced Shogun Plate I and was impressed with the quality and presentation. The plate came with a great mix of nigiri, sashimi, and rolls, featuring fresh salmon, tuna, and white fish with clean flavors and generous cuts. Nothing was over-sauced, which really let the fish shine. The rice was well-seasoned and held together nicely, and the avocado-to-fish ratio in the rolls was spot on. Service was friendly, the atmosphere was casual and comfortable, and while prices lean slightly high, the freshness makes it worth it. Overall, a solid neighborhood sushi spot--I'd definitely order the Shogun Plate again.

All the apps were delicious and fresh! The sauces were so fresh with cute garnishes in them.

Love the ambiance in this spot! The shrimp tempura was very yummy. I definitely was amazed with the Cali baby roll & crunch roll. The Katsu don roll was delicious. The spot had great parking and was a quiet area. Highly recommend and def coming back.

The food, service, and staff are amazing. Obi's is a true hidden gem. Try the Obi's Roll and nigiri salmon belly.

Chuckie R.

Should have been 3.5....but no half star. Strip center location...almost empty on a Sunday evening. Sat at bar. Ordered Samurai Plate...prep time was longish..food was ok. Super Cali roll...not super. Salmon skin hand roll was chared to submission. Price was in line.

Double Crunch Roll with barely any eel or spicy mayo

Queen S.

The sushi was good, but the prices were extremely high. They barely put any spicy mayo or eel sauce on the rolls, yet still wanted to charge $1 extra for each. There was almost none on my roll to begin with, which was disappointing. There's plenty of indoor seating, and it wasn't very busy during lunch, which was nice. Just make sure to bring cash or a physical card--they don't accept tap-to-pay.

Han L.

So much regret while eating this. So hard to eat. Look at the sushi. It's so much worse than grocery store. salad has this terrible dressing on top. chicken is so dry and tough. by principle, i only give one star when it's inedible or something with service, but it was just so hard to finish.

Nicest place to dine in. Whenever we are in the mood for some sushi and sashimi, my grandpoppa and I always come here to do just that. Service is great, professional, and the food is very delicious, every time. I've also eaten here alone prior to that. I recall their miso udon soup to be tasty, their house sake and another option of unfiltered sake to be good as well. But since I'm going completely dry due to heavily personal reasons, I found their Thai tea to be a proper tasty (even though it's sweet) treat, and their green tea is, well, just standard average green tea. Sometimes our orders come out completely disjointed, but we're not terribly picky eaters--if at all. Everything is pretty much fresh and I always come out very satisfied. The prices though are something to consider about. Some may be more than what you can pay for, and as I've been seeing with the restaurant's motto, it seems to be heavily catered towards groups of people coming together to nosh and chat, hence why you will see how a number of their sides (as healthy and nutritious as they are) are pretty much larger in portions. I mean, more veggies aren't anything to whine about, though. Overall, a great place to have lunch and dinner. read more

And I'm glad I didn't. The food and cocktail program here are excellent and I'd come back over and over if I lived anywhere within 2 hours of this place. Walking in, the anime theme hits but doesn't hit too hard. There's also a kind of art deco, romantic theme happening at the same time. The woman's bathroom is sleek, dark and romantic but my husband said the men's was anime themed. Interesting dichotomy happening here. Service is incredible. The host was super welcoming and made us feel really comfortable. The server assistant came over immediately with water. Our server was so hospitable and answered all of our questions, even the silly ones. We felt so welcome and cared for by everyone. The server assistants bringing the food explained the dishes in detail and asked if we needed anything before departing our table. The manager touched our table twice, a really nice touch. And the food? Get out of here. I wanted to try the whole menu but unfortunately cannot fit that much food into me and there were only two of us. I have to shout out to the beef belly and the kare kare. Just so freaking excellent. I mean every thing was, but those two dishes... *chef's kiss* The rice creme brulee was also fire and I appreciate our server for making sure we tried it. The cocktail program here is stellar as well. I loved every drink and even the one I thought was going to be too sweet (Midnight in Manila) was perfectly balanced and just the right amount. Absolutely amazing experience, deserving of stars and I could not recommend it more.

We were a bit nervous signing up for Asian street food for bougie prices, but were pleasantly surprised! I think as a millennial that grew up on authentic Asian food, it's always hard to eat "modern" Asian food because historically that meant it had been americanized. Chef Tara Monsod does a great job putting her own signature on so many different classics from Vietnamese, Korean, Chinese and more. I was thoroughly impressed by the sea bass cha ca. This is such a homey dish for me growing up and doing it with sea bass was perfect as I always thought the original catfish was too dry. The tumeric flavors were all there. It felt really familiar and yet new at the same time. We also had the Australian NY strip, which was cooked to perfection, sliced for sharing. All the dishes are family style. The human lamb chops were just the right amount of spice and flavor. I also indulged in the melon milk tea, which was in the sweet side but definitely could taste the melon! Our hostess was very helpful, friendly and the pace of dinner was perfect. The restaurant itself has impressive high ceilings, backlit art on the walls, and smart decor. It's definitely a beautiful space. Overall a great experience and delicious dinner. Highly recommend!

Kusina's Filipino all-you-can-eat buffet is a premise so rare, it's worth the trip to Miramar on its own. And it delivers. The surprise isn't just that it exists -- it's how fresh everything tasted. The trays were constantly refreshed, so nothing had that sad steam-table fog that usually hangs over buffet food. The pancit was my favorite -- a tangle of stir-fried noodles with cabbage and carrot that actually tasted made, not maintained. The longganisa (Filipino pork sausage) was the other standout. Honestly, everything we tried was delicious. One heads-up: I didn't notice a dessert selection included with the buffet. You can order the halo-halo separately, though, and I'd recommend it. It costs extra, but it's a great dish to share and absolutely worth leaving a little room for. The whole place feels family-run in the best way -- everyone was warm and friendly, and made the experience a pleasure from start to finish. Verdict: this place knows exactly what it's trying to do, and does it. It's officially on the list for the next San Diego trip.

The place is pretty spacious and have a good amount of tables and chairs, but we always still call ahead of time just to make sure since they do hold some events sometimes, and that means they couldn't seat as many parties outside of that event. The staff are generally nice and friendly, but it could be a hit or miss as well. We have encountered some grumpy staff who are probably just reaching the end of their shift. The food is good--I wouldn't say it's the best as there are some food that just aren't cooked so well sometimes. We've had some lechon kawali that were dry, hard, and obviously overcooked. Their sunny side up eggs are always a bummer for me too--they get so overcooked on the pan that it gets this plasticky texture at the bottom. However, we still leave with incredibly full and happy bellies every time we visit here. Would I recommend this place? Yes.

They only had a table for 5 but we ended up having 6 people in our party. They were so kind to be able to accommodate the additional person! They had personalized menus that greeted my party and it wished my friends a happy birthday!! They actually got to take the menus home! This was really a nice touch, I appreciated the details. We family-styled everything which is honestly the way to go so everybody can try a little of everything! It was majority of our party's first time dining there. We started off with some drinks, I got the Non-alcoholic Guava Mocktail and I got to try what was the equivalent to an espresso martini too. Definitely liked the guava drink better because it tasted like guava nectar juice (kind of like Kerns or Jumex). The Expresso Martini had fresh mint in it and it tasted earthy which wasn't my cup of tea. For food we started off with the Heirloom Tomato Salad which was DELICIOUS!! I don't know what they put in the Vietnamese Green Goddess (probably fish sauce since all the dishes basically had this) but it was magnificent and one of my favorite dishes of the night. Then the Scallops and the Black Cod came out. The Scallops came in a set of 3 and we cut them in half so we could all have a taste. The sauce on this was DIVINE!!! It was citrusy but still really flavorful bursting with umami. I'm literally starting to drool reminiscing about it xD We wanted to keep it to use on other dishes because it was so good. The Black Cod was also delicious. It had fried skin attached and a sesame soy glaze. Next up came the Beef Tartare and the Wagyu Steak. The Beef Tartare was probably the least flavorful out of everything we ordered, but it was still well seasoned. My friend said it was really spicy but it might have just been her bite because I didn't think it was spicy at all. I like that the give you the option of leafy greens or shrimp chips to eat it with. The Wagyu though, was an all-star dish. It was the crowd favorite for sure, we all enjoyed not only the steak but the picked baby eggplants that come with it, and the sauce was phenomenal!! Lastly came the Dry Aged Duck which is what they're known for. It was definitely the biggest fish out of all. You were able to eat the duck with two different sauces, one they called a "Fish Sauce Chimichurri" and "Vietnamese XO sauce" which is more so satay. My friends liked the XO sauce but I liked the Chimichurri better. They had actually forgotten about the side of Buttered Rice but I was told it was incredibly flavorful on its own so we still asked for it. It had more than just butter in it, there was dried shrimp and sesame seeds, and it was made with coconut milk or something because it had a sweet but savory taste to it. I saved some of my duck and Wagyu to eat with it which was actually pretty good. Overall I liked that they brought out the dishes from lightest to heaviest and especially after they brought out out 2 sides of Buttered Rice we were all satisfied and full. It was the perfect amount of food. Honestly EVERY dish was different but amazingly dank and I think it's the fish sauce in everything. They were also sweet and kept the cake we brought in the fridge, placed the candles on it for us, and even after we sang they cut the cake for us!! 10/10 would recommend coming here for not only the food but the impeccable service!! Since we had a larger party there's an automatic 20% gratuity already added to the bill, which came out to be $555! (Look at that angel number!)

I recently stopped by Obi's Sushi in San Diego, and whenever I try a new sushi spot, I cross my fingers, unsure of what to expect. This time, it was a winner--a real gem! Tucked away on Murphy Canyon Road, it's easy to miss, so make a point to seek it out. The food was outstanding: I went with my go-to teriyaki chicken bowl, which can be hit-or-miss, but here it was perfectly cooked--charred in just the right spots without being overdone. The Tiger Roll was a standout, loaded with shrimp tempura, crab, cucumber, salmon, shrimp, avocado, spicy mayo, and eel sauce--what an incredible combination! I also grabbed a Philadelphia Roll as a filler, and it was executed flawlessly. If you're hunting for a reliable sushi spot, look no further than Obi's. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and quick to help. We were curious about the bell on the table--it rings to summon service, which added a fun touch! read more

Very good food and excellent service! I just had dinner at Obi's Sushi and was really impressed. The sushi is super fresh, the rice is perfectly seasoned and not too sticky. I especially loved the Spicy Tuna Roll and the Salmon Nigiri -- they melted in my mouth with great flavor balance. The service was outstanding too. The staff was friendly, attentive, and quick without being rushed. The restaurant is clean, bright, and has a nice casual ambiance, making it perfect for a relaxed dinner or date night. Prices are reasonable for the quality you get. I'll definitely be coming back to Obi's Sushi regularly. Highly recommend if you're looking for fresh, delicious sushi in the Murphy Canyon area! read more

Obi's Sushi is an absolute gem! The warm, minimalist ambiance immediately makes you feel welcome, and the sushi bar is lively with talented chefs at work. The food was outstanding. The spicy tuna had the perfect heat, while the miso was flaky, sweet, and addictive. Their Lunch Special was a beautiful, fresh masterpiece packed with great fish. Service was attentive and knowledgeable, and the portions felt generous for the quality. Prices are fair for this level of freshness and craftsmanship. If you love great sushi, Sakura Haven delivers an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended--I'll be back soon! read more

This place wasn't my first choice for sushi but, surprisingly, it turned out to be quite good. Their edamame is delicious and so is the tempura appetizer! I ordered the Spicy Tuna roll and found it especially fresh and yummy. Service is just okay, could be better. The location is very convenient, a few blocks from my work, so I can have a sushi lunch break. Will have to make several return visits and try all of the different rolls. read more

First time trying sushi using sriracha, it was okay. lol. The last time we were here about a year ago, we didn't encounter this issue. The sushi they sell at Ralph's and other grocery stores provides spicy wasabi. Other than that cheap stuff, the food was great! Calamari, lunch special was great, their tempura udon was good, not great! The place was clean and not many customers for lunchtime. Then I've seen the reviews while waiting for our food. Maybe it's under new management and they became cheap with their wasabi?!!!

Sushi Kuchi doesn't have many frills, but I appreciate the generous portions and quick service…read more They were crowded despite our weekday evening visit, yet service remained fast and polite. The menu format wasn't my favorite, as certain items were advertised at half off rather than displaying their final prices. Newly advertised drinks and specials were also scattered throughout the restaurant on flyers and TV screens. Interestingly, the hot dishes arrived faster than the rolls and nigiri, although the wait wasn't unreasonable given that the dining room was full. *Spicy Garlic Edamame: a huge, steaming bowl sitting in a pool of salty, garlicky oil. The heat from the legumes amplified the spice, although the actual heat level was quite mild. *Shrimp Tempura: the batter was a bit thick compared to the shrimp, and neither had much flavor. Aside from the satisfying crunch, this was fairly average. *Yellowtail Kama: a generous portion with intense smokiness. I wished it were a little less charred, although the neck fat was beautifully rendered. I preferred the yellowtail over the salmon for its richer, more savory finish. *Salmon Kama: similarly enjoyable, with a slightly overcooked exterior. The fat content was good, although the flavor was more one-dimensional than the yellowtail. *Yaki Udon: available at various spice levels with a choice of chicken or shrimp. My party chose shrimp, which was interestingly butterflied rather than served whole. The noodles were perfectly chewy and bouncy. This dish is best enjoyed immediately while the texture holds up. *Tuna Maki Roll: one of my least favorite items. The seaweed, rice, and fish were all bland, while the seaweed was so chewy that it was difficult to bite through. *Yellowtail & Scallion Maki Roll: similarly underwhelming, with little flavor from the fish or fragrance from the scallions. The chewy seaweed again detracted from the experience. *Salmon Nigiri: one of my party's favorite renditions ever. The salmon was cut exceptionally thick, generously blanketing the small mound of rice. The portions were comparable to sashimi servings at other restaurants. *Eel Avocado Hand Roll: sweet, well-grilled eel paired with perfectly ripe, creamy avocado. The rice was well seasoned, although the seaweed remained too chewy. *Spicy Scallop Hand Roll: I wished this hadn't been mixed with imitation crab. The scallops were soft and tender, but I didn't enjoy the textural contrast with the kani salad. This hand roll was also less generously stuffed than the others. Surprisingly, the hot entrees and appetizers were among my favorite dishes, while the seafood was more hit-or-miss. For consistency, I'd stick to the cooked items and nigiri rather than the maki rolls and hand rolls, where the chewy, underseasoned seaweed was a recurring issue. Sushi Kuchi could benefit from sourcing better seaweed. This was closer to a 3.5-star experience, but I'll round up for the generous nigiri portions and satisfying hot dishes.

It's operated by a husband-and-wife team without much fanfare as I rarely have seen the business mentioned when it comes to sushi in the SD area. I do worry that its location is not very visible when you are speeding down Clairemont Mesa Blvd. It might be a reason why this place is so quiet and seldom filled to capacity. After exercising at a nearby gym, I came for a late lunch and was their sole customer at the time. Parking is never an issue at this plaza so I got a space near the front. The place can hold about a couple of dozen customers with another four more that can be seated at the sushi bar. The interior decor was clean and simple which was also reflected in their menu. The offerings have definitely been tweaked since their grand opening several years ago. Some varieties of fish were no longer featured, and I noticed more combination choices. For my meal, I picked a Rainbow Roll and three kinds of nigiri... toro, scallop, and eel. Everything was prepared by the owner who is the sushi chef. Even with the impact of inflation, the prices remained very reasonable while retaining fresh quality fish. For example, where else can you find two pieces of fatty tuna for only $11? Most competitors will charge that much for just one slice of otoro. The Rainbow consisted of tuna, yellowtail, salmon, and avocado wrapped outside of a California Roll. A minor deduction would be that the sushi variety wasn't as extensive, and you won't find any rare fishes served here. Kotobuki is definitely worth trying if you appreciate a no-frills approach to sushi. I gave a 4.5 star rating for my latest visit to this hidden gem.

It's a pretty small restaurant with both indoor and patio seating. There is a designated parking lot behind a building, although I missed the sign for it when we first arrived and didn't notice it until I was walking toward the restaurant. There's street parking available as well. We chose to sit inside because it was really hot outside. The space felt a little cramped, and it was very loud. I had to speak pretty loudly to be heard across the table, and at times I practically had to read lips to understand what someone was saying. If you're looking for somewhere quiet where you can easily have a conversation, this probably isn't the best choice. I ordered the ramen with spicy miso, but there wasn't anything spicy about it, so I'm wondering if my order may have gotten mixed up. Overall, the ramen was okay, but nothing that stood out to me.
