First off, I have to say our server truly exceeded our expectations. She was attentive, constantly checking in on us, and super helpful when it came to deciding what to order. Highly recommend asking for Jin--she made the whole experience even better. We went with the AYCE option, and everything was delicious. The avocado and jalapeño bombs were amazing, and I believe it was called the "Roll Land Roll"--so good! The miso soup, cucumber salad, and seaweed salad were also a great touch and really complemented the meal. Definitely coming back!

This place always seems hectic. Our server was great. The miso soup was served with metal spoons that were lava hot. Not good. The sushi was very good. I didn't appreciate the $1 up charge for a soy wrap rather than seaweed. Nickle and dime stuff. They have the really real wasabi. $5 for a good helping and so worth it. They have an all you can eat and a regular menu so they fit the bill for just about everyone.

Sushi Roll Land (Hillcrest, San Diego) is a solid go-to if you're looking for value and variety. First off, parking is validated, which is always a win in Hillcrest. The location itself is clean, spacious, and comfortable, and when I went on a weeknight there was no wait at all--super easy, low-stress dining experience. The best part of the night was the service. Cole was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive, which really set the tone. Everything also came out very quickly, which I appreciated especially for an all-you-can-eat setup. For $40 AYCE, the variety is honestly impressive. They offer everything from special rolls, tempura rolls, and riceless rolls to nigiri and a bunch of appetizer/kitchen items like jalapeño poppers. It's nice to have options beyond just sushi, especially if you're dining with a group. The sushi itself isn't mind-blowing, but it's good enough for the price, and with so many choices, you won't get bored. One thing to note: the ordering system is a bit confusing at first. They give you three separate order sheets (with 3 rounds each) based on categories, plus a large menu for reference--but the items aren't organized consistently or alphabetically, so it takes a minute to find what you're looking for. Definitely something they could improve. Overall: Great value, fast service, and a comfortable space. Not the best sushi you'll ever have, but for the price and experience, it's absolutely worth it--especially if you come hungry.

I would not recommend coming here if you are looking for quality fish. We did the all you can eat which is priced well. I guess it's cheaper than other places because it's not good. We were all genuinely trying not to gag at a certain point. If all you get are rolls all jazzed up with sauces then you will like this place but stay clear of the nigiri and sashimi. 2 stars are for the service and easy ordering method.

I was in the area and wanted to dine out for some AYCE sushi w/ some friends. It was pretty empty on a Friday afternoon. The ambiance was alright during this time! In order to start, you need your whole party to be there. It was also roughly $50 per person, as a sushi lover-- I do think this is pretty high. You also on my get roughly 3 rounds as well. We ordered a bunch, from sashimi, to nigiri's, and rolls. Out of all the pieces, I think I only really enjoyed the Mackerel nigiri the most. I thought the fish was okay, but I'm also comparing to places that were cheaper and provided the most buttery sashimi. The rice to fish ratio was decent as well. I def would come here again if wanting AYCE, but I might look around. I think I've had more better in the Bay esp for the price. totally understandable though as I was just visiting the city! Lovely staff though, thank you for being patient with our table! I'd still recommend! But also after reading other reviews; yes there were a few flying buggies around that got a little bit in the way. Always room for improvement

I'm a regular here and not the I come by evey month or so but every weekend or bi-weekly. $40 for ayce sushi is a steal and the service is always top notch. Yes is there higher quality sushi in San Diego, sure. But you'll be paying $80-$200 depending where you go. Little Sakana does what it does well, fast sushi to you so they can seat the next table and the next and the next. Sushi roll land, you never feel rushed and the quality is pretty much the same and I've had little Sakana both the Chula Vista and Miramar locations multiple times. Overall every time I bring my Freinds here when they want all you can eat, I've never had one complaint and always had a great experience every time

Been here a dozen or so times over the last year plus and the quality of fish on the nigiri is not what it once was when I first started coming. But I'll say what really pisses me off is the amount of rice they use in their nigiri, specifically my favorite pieces, the scallop nigiri. If you look at the picture, the vast majority of the piece is all rice, they do this on purpose, so that you fill up faster and eat less. I'm usually able to eat 40+ pieces of nigiri. No problem, here, I can barely eat 20. I don't come for AYCE so I can be served more rice than fish. If you want top quality AYCE sushi from a restaurant and chefs that aren't stingy and over stuff their nigiri with rice, go check out Little Sakana, far superior quality of fish for the exact same price you'd pay here.

Food was devoured and couldn't even fit the last round! So this spot wasn't too busy for a midweek midday meal. We got seated quickly and server asked if it was our first time at their location to explain how the experience works. Basically you get a few pieces of paper where you can pencil in the quantity of items you want based off their menu. There are three rounds available to order before you get your check but there aren't any max amount of items you can get per round. We started our first round with appetizers and 5 rolls. For our second round we got about 6 rolls and a few more appetizers and called it quits. All rolls were fulfilling and delicious. I would definitely come again. Decent price and variety of drinks available as well.

Tried this place for the first time and I really enjoyed it.. amazing service and good food. The place is decent size for big group also the place is clean.

We came here for dinner while visiting San Diego and did their all you can eat sushi. They have set up. little differently from other places, instead of a time limit they have 3 rounds where each round you can order as much as you like. I think that this set up makes it harder to gage how much you can eat before maxing out on rounds. The fish was fine quality for all you can eat. I did however find a bug on my plate which they took care of immediately. We can on a Saturday night and it was pretty busy but we were seated quickly. The service was very very friendly and accommodating.

Popped in after a search of AYCE in San Diego. Pics did it justice so we rolled on in. We were in on a Monday evening around 7 PM. We were greeted and seated right away, our waiter walked us through the process of ordering and we got right after it. Highly recommend the Hill Crest and Sushi Roll Land - the sashimi was good but only 4 choices offered. We also had the Jen Jen (pictured) and the Eel and squid sushi. For giggles we had the baked Salmon and Scallop options, both were great. The service was fast and the team was attentive, answering questions and offering ideas. I would definitely come back next time we are in town.

Amanda N.

Real rating: 3.5/5 (3/5 for food 4/5 for service and cleanliness) Came here for the first time with friends and enjoyed the food here (although that may be the hunger speaking, but looking back, it was quite average). Service was quick and it wasn't too busy for a Friday night. They were good with explaining how to order off the AYCE menu and the food was average for all you can eat. There's a parking garage available for customers and they validate!

Included to choose from: specialty and basic rolls, hand rolls, basic udon, miso soup, calamari, etc. Best if with a group to share so nothing goes to waste if you don't like something. Our group of four left satisfied. Value: Four adults without drinks came to about $180 before tip. It's pricey but considering it's fresh sushi made to order and not generic rolls left on a counter like other buffets I think it warrants the higher price. Be advised adding sashimi is an additional ~$13. Service: Very quick to take orders, bring out food (fried/baked will take longer), fill waters and give the bill when ready. Excellent. Interior: Very clean, modern, and my guest was able to watch the padres game while we ate. Overall: If you're willing to spend over $40 on quality sushi, you'll love it here. If you only want appetizer items you may get bored of all the fried items, seaweed salad, and soups. And if going that option it wouldn't be worth the $40+.

These people are working just as hard as you're working so tip them well!

I am so thankful we stumbled upon this establishment!…read more On a Tuesday morning, we initially tried to go to another sushi restaurant about ten minutes away, but unfortunately we didn't have a reservation and they wouldn't have had another table available for another two hours. Called Chef Jun to confirm if we needed a reservation here, but they said they had tables available since we were planning on being there in 10-15 minutes. We walked in and were immediately greeted by the girls up front and sat at a nice table outside on the back patio. We ordered the chef's choice sashimi, poke, beer, and green grape soju. I ended up asking for lemonade too to mix with my soju since I rarely drink and do not like the taste of alcohol lol. The food was absolutely delicious, I wouldn't have changed anything about our meal! We left satisfied and were so impressed with the sashimi variety we were served. I had no idea amberjack existed, but it's definitely up there with my usual salmon sashimi favorite! We definitely got our money's worth. Service was incredible, our server Marylyn D (that was on our receipt) was sooo sweet and we really enjoyed her energy. (We love your pikachu tattoo btw!)

We were first to enter and it was clear immediately that omakase is this restaurants institution; delicate lighting that highlighted the bar that separated diner and chef, clean lines everywhere, and just overall a beautiful place. The theme of Sushi MARU is truly attention to detail, and that extends from arrival, to service, to, of course, the food. Staff were incredibly attentive and easy to talk to, including the chefs. The food, I will comment on just generally as the menu is constantly changing (as is the case with many omakase): each dish was composed of pieces that complemented each other well and created a cohesive flavor pallette. Each nigiri was artfully prepared that emphased the quality and cut of the fish, and were complemented by flavors to further highlight that. The flow of the evening was non-traditional omakase, but it felt perfect. Price ($180pp) is not for the faint of heart, but is cheaper than others I've seen.

Made the reservatiin online at the beginning of March for an omakase seating in April to celebrate husband's bday. They had a 5:15pm seating on a weekday at the sushi counter. Other options are the table and outside patio, however, for omakase, I always prefer the counter/bar. Unlike other omakase restaurants, Soichi offers their full vs petite vs nigiri only omakases at variable times (not limited to 2 seating times like others). You can also enjoy any of these omakases or order a la carte or both at the tables and outside patio also. The ambiance is bright and full of energy. Can get a bit loud with people talking, but didn't bother me. Parking is street parking. No designated lot. We found one a little down the street and walked over, which worked out. There is a park down the street and street parking around it. I recommend arriving earlier to find parking though, just in case. Restaurant is small inside, but clean and cozy. We arrived 15min early, and they seated us. The staff were all friendly. They all spoke Japanese to each other, which also felt more authentic. Our omakase chef was Daniel today. He was very nice, friendly, professional, and skilled. When we had questions, he answered them promptly and kindly. He also checked in with us to ensure the ratio of rice and sashimi was OK for us (of course it was). They served on unique plates too. Everything tasted so fresh and smooth. Some items were also unique compared to other omakase restaurants. The chawanmushj was also piping hot when served, so it also tasted fresh. They have barley tea here too and not just green tea. They offer a la carte at the end of the omakase course if we like, but I was too full. My husband ordered a tuna maki roll, which he thought tasted great. The dessert was also yum! Hojicha ice cream was very tasty! I recommend! They sang the happy bday song for the bday folks, where the senior chef (perhaps the owner?) played the ukelele/guitar and sang happy bday with the rest of us guests. Thought that was really neat. I recommend Soichi! Shout out to Chef Daniel!

Definitely 5 stars if compared to all restaurants, but 4 stars if compared to other omakase…read more Came at one of the first seating (4:30pm) on a Saturday for the full omakase. The service and partnership between the sushi chef and the wait staff was fantastic and every interaction was well thought out. The appetizer wasn't my cup of tea, but the sashimi, nigiri, grilled fish, chawanmushi were really good. The assortment of fish (at least for this season) wasn't my favorite (featuring sardines, mackerel, etc.) when I would have loved some yellowtail and salmon belly. We ordered a negitoro cut roll a la carte because we were still a little hungry - this was super tasty as the quality of the tuna/toro is top notch. For dessert, they had 4 flavors of homemade ice cream to pick from. The sesame was incredible and the roasted green tea really good too. I feel like most of the omakase I've been to have 2-3 seating for dinner, so all the customers for that time arrive at the same time and everyone is at the same point of the omakase. At Soichi, it seems like each party has their reservation at a different time (4:30, 4:45, 5:00, etc.) so each group is at a different part of their meal, not to mention some parties that ordered a la carte or a different omakase menu (sushi only option, etc.) As a result, the chef is bouncing around working on a bunch of different items, and we had to wait quite a bit for each of our nigiri courses. The whole meal took 2.5 hours. We also felt less of that group vibe with other parties that is common in other omakases. Overall, we still had a really lovely time and glad we got to try it!,

Ichifuji has routinely been one of the personal favorites of many users. I booked a reservation. It was about $160 before tax and tip. Definitely a lot cheaper than most of the Chicago ones and the quality of each course was exceptional. Our chef had a great sense of humor. Everyone was pleasant to talk to. I recommend coming here early before your reservation to secure a parking spot, at least an hour or more. The lot is shared with a Vietnamese restaurant and the parking lot is already small. We thought about parking in the bigger lot to the right but was unsure due to the towing signs. We're from out of State so we didn't want to risk it. If you have the money to spare with no kids, I recommend coming here.

I have brought family and friends back here too My brother in law brought his kid and tried the chicken of the sea nuggets (tuna) and even I loved them! Friendly service, although sometimes food takes a while to come out. The parking is plentiful, in a plaza parking lot. Good ambiance for a bit more casual date night that's cozy!

Quick dinner out and was surprised how slow it was for a weekend evening. My husband and I were…read moreseated right away and orders taken pretty quickly. The menu is pretty extensive, but it definitely has a good quality for what we ordered. Service is quick and ordering to food coming out was pretty fast. For someone with a low tolerance of spice, you never know how spicy the spicy tuna will actually be, I gambled wrong for my tolerance. Delicious none the less but for me a little too spicy haha! The other rolls were fantastic though, and all very good. Would definitely come again if in the area!

Visited San Diego for a college graduation and we had dinner at Lumi for the post-graduation…read morecelebration! Best decision we could've made! We knew it was popular and it was recommended to make reservations well in advance which we did. When you get to the hostess stand on ground level, she greeted us warmly and directed us to the elevator that would take us to Lumi. Once at the top, you're greeted by the Lumi staff to check you in. As you get to view the roof top, there are lots of tables, a strategically placed bar, some fireplace tables, comfortable seating, a live DJ, and beautifully done murals and deco. Very tasteful! The food was amazing and so fresh! If you don't like sushi, Lumi has a lot of dishes that would also accommodate your palette. Appetizers, sushi, and drinks were all great. Prices is a little high but keep in mind that you're also paying for the experience! The staff were all friendly and our host Becky was so sweet and attentive! She checked in on us regularly and gave us great recs! Highly recommend!

Came here for San Diego Restaurant week in January 2026. Three course for $65…read more We ordered: 1st -Chicken karaage - hard crunch just straight up fried chicken skin and chicken jerky due to the dryness. No flavor unless you dip. It was like eating chicharron. -Egg plant skewers - Couldn't tell it wasn't meat, it had the firm and tender texture with Unami flavors. 2nd -Rock shrimp tempura - this would taste better with rice. Almost like honey walnut shrimp. Ate like 3 and got full. Too much batter. -Big eye tuna tataki - nothing stood out 3rd -Surf and turf roll - by the time we got this dish, we were already disappointed not satisfied. -Kim chi chaufa - basic fired rice with the crispy burnt rice at the bottom. For a place this upscale, I wasn't impressed with the restaurant week menu. The food was under whelming. Sad to say that our favorite dish out of all were the egg plant skewers. I would rate 2 for the food but increase due to the view and ambiance. We looked around and saw every table with the pretty sushi box. I expected the menu not to offer all cooked dishes. This would go down as one of our least favorite restaurant week dining experience. No parking in this area so we took an uber. I can't believe we spent over $100 each and left disappointed and hungry.
