    Spring Rolls (4 Pieces)
    Srihan B.

    TLDR: casual spot with great combo sets as well as yummy sushi for a great price The place is right on the corner in PB, very casual sushi spot that has a ton of booths and bar seats as well as 4 tables for two. The miso soup was good, it had a good tanginess and normally I'm not the biggest fan but I enjoyed this. May b I hungry The entree came with so much and it looked beautiful The salad was very fresh, the dressing was flavorful but not heavy The California roll was standard, tasted good The spring rolls were spectacular, I always order spring rolls everywhere- standard crunchy and soft inside with more of a garlic hint which I like, and it comes with the sauce! The PB chicken was big and crunchy, it was pretty good just tasted like Panda Express I do not like how the rice is not enough for the chicken. It seemed even less than a scoop too The lemon salmon was quite good, the lemon is the main note and the rest was mainly crunchy. The imitation crab inside pairs really well with the salmon. Service was amazing!

    Veggie Tempura Roll, Cucumber Salad, Edamame
    Kaitlyn F.

    My boyfriend and I stopped into PB sushi after a beach day and we were impressed! We ordered two rolls- the big shot and veggie tempura rolls, as well as garlic edamame and cucumber salad. Additionally, we ordered a draft Sapporo and a bottle of unfiltered strawberry sake. The big shot roll was a huge hit with my boyfriend, he said he would absolutely get it again! I enjoyed my veggie tempura roll, but did not find it to have a ton of flavor. However, you can only get so picky with vegetarian sushi so I don't fault them for it. The cucumber salad and garlic edamame were both fantastic! We especially liked the raw garlic flavor on the edamame and thought it was some of the better garlic edamame we have had in San Diego. Finally, we loved the strawberry sake and would recommend anyone going to share a bottle of it! It tasted like a dessert and just blew us away. The ambiance was to be expected of a mid range sushi restaurant in PB (clean, well maintained, but nothing to write home about). However, the service was absolutely phenomenal! We did not catch the man who was helping us out's name, but he was so nice and helpful and far exceeded service we have received from much nicer restaurants. PB sushi is a great place to stop into for some reasonably priced sushi after the beach! While there is better sushi in San Diego, for the price, service and location you can't beat PB sushi!

    I order delivery and oh boy what a disappointment. The agedashi arrived with no sauce. Yes. No sauce. The hand roll as you can see in the pictures very poorly rolled and there was almost nothing inside. Other places add strips of cucumber and carrots. Look at the pictures. The Alaska roll was really a California roll with tiny pieces of salmon on the top. No chopsticks, no soy sauce. I spent $56. As much as I want to be kind this was really bad. I'm really bummed out.

    Miso was cold, sashimi was good aside from the tuna, cucumber salad and edamame was fine, California roll was not how we like it as it was mixed with a lot of mayo. Service was great. They had the game on tv. They had Diet Coke & grenadine so they get a point for that.

    This spot holds a special place in our hearts as it was our first date night!! During college we went here often and always had the best time. This was the first place I ever had sushi - the OB roll so good!! We've visited twice with our kids and I was surprised to find that it's a very family friendly location, the server was great with our kids. There was something for everyone and the sushi seemed very fresh. Everything came out quickly and the veggie sushi rolls were phenomenal. My husband had one of the chicken dinner entrees and loved it. It came with so many sides - miso soup, California roll etc. We all shared the sumi salad and Edemame which were both great. We'll be back for sure!

    Salmon Roll

    Found sea shells? Or glass in my salmon avocado roll. Cut the roof of my mouth and now I am bleeding. Front desk lady was so nice and accommodating but other than that the fish was very fishy and not good at all.

    Amazing service, even better sake bombs. The ambience is knarly I would recommend...Shturnem

    This place was a present supprise. The vegiterian sushi felt fresh and crisp with good flavor combos and the staff was super friendly and quick. A long time ago I had a Mexican sushi fusion place that left a bad taste in my mouth so I was hesitant to get something similar at this place but on recomendation I did and it was great. The Pico de gio, crisp veggies worked well without feeling out of place. It was a big roll so it was pretty much impossible to do it in one bite but that is not that big an issue. The parking was surprisingly not too bad and free juat a block away. Overall a good spot to grab a bite. There weren't a tone of veggie options but the ones we got were good.

    Sashimi - salmon

    Decided to check this sushi spot based on the reviews and it was a good experience! Definitely AYCE menu and at a great price! Close to the pier and other establishments. Easy parking and friendly staff!

    Chose DoorDash for this specific order but honestly, I was surprised how much we liked it here. I was a bit skeptical from other reviews, but for the price it was great. I'll be back to try in person.

    Good spot for quick sushi and good dinner. It's pretty decent too! Staff was very helpful and sat us quickly. The food also comes out fast so we were able to eat at a good pace. I love the varied of sushi you can pick from. Decently priced too.

    Miso soup
    Bridget B.

    After driving by this spot for years, I finally gave it a go after a night out and was not disappointed! The veggie tempura (especially the asparagus) was sooooo good. We loved all of our rolls especially the toro. I would probably pass on the miso soup next time as it wasn't as flavorful as I'd expect and it got cold quick. Would definitely recommend this spot especially for the late nighters.

The service was swift and the food came out very quick. Our server was amazing because she told us everything on the menu was delicious and she wasn't wrong.

    Dinner on a Saturday night…read more My friend lives in La Jolla and suggested trying Akari since it was under newer management from previous years. Everything was great - the service, decor and most importantly, the sushi. I ordered the protein roll, a Philadelphia roll and a beer. Everything tasted fresh and given that we're a beach city, I liked how the protein roll came on a dish in the shape of a shell (see photo). I was happy that they had my Ichiban beer, as not all places serve it, but they only have it the large size and normally I order the regular size. They had comfy booths to sit in and a beautiful mural on the wall, which added to the ambiance. I felt like the restaurant was clean - a very important factor when eating raw fish! I don't get to downtown La Jolla very often, but I will definitely go back here again when in the area. Parking can be a little bit tricky, but we came in the early evening to avoid the later dinner weekend crowd. So we drove around for a bit and finally found a spot. The restaurant is definitely worth the effort!

Street parking only, many small paid lots and they valet for first two hours free since it's linked to the hotel Tower23. I had a work party of 20 during lunch that rolled over to happy hour past 3pm! It's basically tourist price in exchange for the local view. Food can be a hit or miss. They serve mainly seafood. Although you'll find short rib sliders or chicken sandwich. -Crispy calamari - delicious batter but weird that they threw in broccoli and peppers when it could have been all calamari -Steamed mussels - this was the best. Had two sourdough slices and the tomato purée had tons of flavor -Ceviche - the chips were stale -Ahi nachos - needed more sauce and filling. Not enough poke to chip ratio. I got mainly a blank chip. -Short rib sliders - many people ordered this and said it was very dry -Roulette roll - most popular roll. I fairly enjoyed the crunch in each bite. Got a Raspberry mojito. It was strong and refreshing but gave me a fat headache later. Must be the rum.

To Russell sprouts one came and again, just not enough to them. They fell flat. The second order came an hour after we had finished our meal then the check was received.

It is located in a rather strange location with a small, very awkward parking lot on the NW corner of Pearl Street and La Jolla Blvd. kitty corner from the Baskin Robbins. However, it is very walkable from anywhere in the beach area or downtown La Jolla. Food is excellent and sushi chefs are very accommodating. For example, we ordered spicy tuna, hamachi and salmon hand rolls with avocado which were not on the menu and they were excellent. We had several orders of sashimi and nigiri and all were very fresh and delicious. We also ordered the La Jolla Roll, which is a rainbow roll with premium sashimi (salmon and bluefin toro and scallops...) on top of a California Roll with real snow crap instead of "krab". I also appreciate that they use real seaweeds for their garnishes and offer both "real" wasabi with mashed up green horseradish along with the more familiar pressed "soy sauce wasabi". Good sake selection, but no draft beers--only 12 oz bottles of light Japanese beers. Noise levels at the sushi bar are a bit overwhelming, particularly when they use butane torches to sear the fish and meat dishes. Service could also be more attentive. We waited about 15 minutes for our bill even though it was not busy. Food makes up for these minor deficits though. Overall a great spot. Highly recommended.
