Each day has different dine in specials for an affordable price and it's so close to work so that makes it very convenient! Service was fast, beautiful and clean restaurant! Highly recommend! Thank you!

Horrible food and services…read more First, we ordered two garage and two beer in the beginning . They served only one karake and one beer. When I pointed out the issue, the waitress did not acknowledge her mistake and she said that we are ordering additional beer and karake. I also ordered a nine pieces of sushi but she served nine pieces of sashimi. We were party of five and everyone ordered two or three dishes on the menu so we thought that someone else ordered the sashimi. Actually no one ordered the sashimi and she forgot to bring sushi that I ordered. There were no apologies for the horrible services rather blaming us. For the food, it was edible but the quality was not good. Salmon belly sushi was not from belly. It had no fats. Baja roll had way too much lemon so I couldn't taste salmon or tuna. Chicken katsu sauce was way too salty.

If you're in Pacific Beach and craving sushi, Sushi Kuchi is hands down the best in the area. The…read morefreshness of the fish is next level -- every bite tastes clean, bright, and perfectly prepared. This has become one of my go-to lunch spots while working at Mission Bay High School. It's consistent, quick, and always delivers. The surf clam and scallop are absolute favorites of mine -- incredibly fresh and full of flavor. The owners are fantastic and really know how to market and connect with the community. You can tell they care about their customers. I also love how they'll occasionally surprise you with something on the house -- that personal touch goes a long way. And don't sleep on the bento box -- it's a must-order. You get miso soup, salad, and the tempura absolutely hits. It's filling, balanced, and a great value. Amazing food, great people, and top-tier freshness. Five stars all day.

We got seated fairly quickly and service was also pretty fast…read more I'd rate Gyoza 2/5. I didn't feel like they were deep fried enough. Jumbo Karaage was tasty so would rate that 4/5. G Spot roll was our absolute favorite!! Would def go back for that. Lastly, surfer crunch roll was mid. Nothing too special to it. Overall, I'd like to go back to try the ramen next time. It seemed like a lot of the guests around us were mainly ordering that. I'd def go back for the g spot roll and would like to try a different roll instead of the surfer crunch.

A few of my friends got sushi rolls and said they weren't life changing, but my experience was fantastic personally. There are limited roll options, I do wish there were more

Happy hour review: wed-sun 5-6:30pm…read more Stopped in to check out happy hour at a newish upscale sushi place in PB. This location has been a variety of restaurants over the years that don't seem to last. Cherryfish is pretty inside. Happy hour is offered at the bar or a sort of strange long skinny table in the middle. We sat at the bar which is way too high for the bar chairs. You literally feel like a child trying to sit at the grown up table. So odd. We were brought menus but then pretty much forgotten as the staff chatted and waited for the dinner rush. Eventually someone came over to take our order and we ordered the HH wine and a couple of appetizers. The food was brought out by the food runner without any plates, silverware or napkins. I had to bug the bartender/bar back for those. Then when the sushi roll came out I had to again bother them for chopsticks, soy sauce, dishes. He gave us one soy sauce dish to share, I guess. The food was ok, the roll was mostly vegetables with small pieces of fish on top. For a restaurant of this price point, I wouldn't return to try the full menu. The service just wasn't there, I don't want to feel like a bother to get basic things. Sad, because I wanted to like this place.

Out of the dishes I got -- hon maguro nigiri, ika with shiso nigiri, iwashi nigiri, nodoguro nigiri, zuke nigiri, himitsu roll, and himitsu sushi -- my favorite was surprisingly the ika with shiso nigiri. The ika was fresh and the shiso gave that sweet and delicate notes that did not disappoint. Although this was my favorite, all the other nigiris were also amazing as expected from a quality omakase place. Service was quick and friendly. Our server checked on us quite often. Chef mitsu also consistently made sure that we were enjoying the food and experience. The chef also gave his opinions on various fish and gave background to what fish he likes to select and suggest. Honestly, there was nothing better than hearing from a chef who loves his art and craft.

I went with my mom for a bday celebration since the reviews looked good and I wanted to try a new…read morespot. The waitress was very nice but the sushi was fishy, rubbery and inedible. We had a bento box, Himitsu roll (which was fishy), the sushi lover set and the soft shell crab appetizer. The soft shell crab was the best thing there but I could not even finish half of my sushi due to how rubbery and inedible the rest of sushi was. The rice also fell apart immediately prior to picking it up with my chopsticks. I tried to just eat the sashimi without the rice to not waste food but we couldn't. The Bento box included salad that wasn't cleaned properly and included sausages and a very small amount of fish as the main course. There were also bones in a lot of the fish & eel nigiri (which I haven't experienced before) When asked how things tasted I mentioned that the sushi was rubbery and I couldn't finish the rest. She offered me to take it home which I politely declined. We were then charged a 20% service fee bundled in as a tip and this was not disclosed when we initially sat down. This was not only one of the most expensive lunches but my mom & I ended up getting sick later on that night and should have left halfway through the meal. Needless to say we will not be returning. We had hoped they would offer some sort of price break or an exchange for something else but it was such a horrible experience we just wanted to leave. Such a slimey way to do business and not disclosing a mandatory service fee.

This place looks like it's about to impress. Beautiful, upscale vibe with a sleek dining room and a…read morebig sports bar up front. Service was solid, and it definitely feels like a "special occasion" kind of spot. The Wagyu burger, though, was a letdown. Amazing fries, but the burger itself was surprisingly bland--even with grilled onions and cheese. For $26-$28, the "Wagyu" label felt more like marketing than magic. I've honestly had more flavorful burgers at In-N-Out (animal style), which isn't a great look for a high-end burger. On the bright side, my wife's risotto was excellent--easy 10/10. The chicken was perfectly cooked, the risotto was rich and flavorful, and even the waitress said it's one of her favorite dishes (advice I should've taken). Bottom line: great atmosphere, good service, one standout dish--but skip the burger. I wouldn't go out of my way to return unless someone else was choosing. Street parking only, mostly free if you're lucky.

Server was very friendly once he got caught up, & servers can really make or break a place, ours was what made it good. The food was alright, and portion size was great but other than that, nothing worth mentioning. The pictures and taste are completely different. My favorite if I had to choose is the mac & chesse. That I finished, and they did cook the steaks as temp requested. The ceasers salad was absolutely horrible not going to lie. I'm not someone to completely knock a place without trying another dish so next time we are back in SD I may try something else, especially with that view.

We tried the Crunchy Salmon Roll, Volcano Roll, and Diego Roll, and all were excellent. Super fresh fish, beautifully presented, and really well balanced rice/fish ratio.

They're usually busy (for good reason), so I'd definitely recommend making a reservation. Even if there's a wait, it's worth it.

To perfectly end the night, I always look forward to their ice cream topped with matcha. It is the ultimate finale. The service is unmatched. My partner and I have gotten to know the owner, who is kind and absolutely full of passion. That energy translates to the entire staff, the waiters are always professional and attentive, and the sushi chefs are truly top-of-the-line. The entire team works together to make magic happen. With its intimate, cozy layout and relaxed volume, it is the perfect spot for a date night. Because it's a boutique space, I would definitely recommend making a reservation. We absolutely love this place! Also perfect for takeout. Kinda obsessed.

The sushi is also amazing and I love that nigiri comes with one piece instead of two pieces: You can try different fish without committing to two pieces, and you also end up paying less for one piece. As a consequence of being served just one piece, the chefs make sure that each piece matters, and you can taste and observe the extra TLC: Each beautiful piece is a gastronomic indulgence! As expected, the service is great. The restaurant is small but each time I've been here, it was never packed. This is one of San Diego's best kept secrets and I hope Takaramono Sushi is here to stay!
