SAN DIEGO SUSHI 🍣 let’s opt for tasty rolls & an aesthetic, lively vibe ➡️ here’s what I ordered: 🍹 Matcha Made Me Do It 🍣 Master Roshi 🍣 Abuelita (fave 🌟) 🍹 Spring Fling Everything was bursting with flavor, delicious and quality fish! The menu is HUGE, there’s a lot of options whether you’re looking for speciality rolls, fried rolls, (raw) nigiri, sashimi, even sushi flights! 😋 [hosted] They also have a lot of options for speciality cocktails which is my weakness, I really enjoyed the Spring Fling hibiscus & reposado drink. It was sooo artsy and beautiful in here with the purple lighting and cherry blossom trees 🌸 They played upbeat, vibey house music. You can walk-in but I’d recommend making a reservation on the weekends! This is Cloak + Petal, located in Little Italy, San Diego I drove over from Phoenix and so you definitely need to check this place out! 🤩 Address: 1953 India St, San Diego, CA 92101 • #sandiegocalifornia #sandiegofoodie #travelfoodies #californiablogger

Every sip of their inventive cocktails and each bite of food will transport you to the streets of Japan… especially on their Shibuya Sundays where a live DJ spins cool beats from 5-8pm We loved everything we tried and can’t wait to try more on our next visit!
