Best Japanese Restaurants in University City/Golden Triangle

One of the best sushi i have ever eaten. Fusion of japanese and peruvian was something i had never imagined- the sauces were out of the world. And the staff was super friendly with best recommendations. Definitely coming back!!

Wonderful ambience, great food and service! The Mori Crispy was our favorite dish!

Japanese cuisine elevated. AMAZING every time, this was our 3 rd time here.

A stunningly amazing sushi restaurant. The seafood is exquisitely fresh and superbly prepared. I tried the sashimi sampler, uni roll, octopus and seaweed salad and found everything impeccable, and buttery smooth delicious. As a business traveler, I have enjoyed some of the best out there and this rivals the best. On the top of my list for my next visit to San Diego.

This place opened about 7 months ago, and it right across from the new Chef Fei restaurant which had a long line and glad we had reservations here. From the moment we walked in, we felt very welcomed. Sebastian greeted us warmly, got us seated, and shared so many great recommendations from the menu. For some reason, I wasn’t able to check in on Yelp or upload photos, but that didn’t take away from the experience at all. The service and decor were impeccable from start to finish. Everything we ordered came out fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. We tried quite a few dishes, and my personal favorite was the baked snow crab wrapped in soy paper. We also had the Tomahawk short rib and Lobster Mentaiko pasta, both of which were incredibly impressive. We were a little surprised they didn’t have the miso black cod available, but to be fair, we did arrive about an hour before closing. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience with great food, attentive service, excellent customer care, and beautiful decor. We’ll definitely be back!
