TL;DR - reasonably priced quality sushi. Get the San Diego uni.
Our group of 10 had a 7:30 reservation on a Friday night. It didn't look that busy but we still had to wait about 10 minutes or so. I also didn't realize they close at 9 until we were finishing up and they were cleaning up the rest of the restaurant. I guess I'm just used to NYC hours.
To start, we ordered a bottle of sake, and they bring out a tray of different colored sake cups for you to pick from, which I thought was pretty cool. Not a big deal, but it's just the little things!
Some people in the group don't eat raw fish, so it was nice that they had a lot of cooked food options. I am in the raw fish eating group and our group was looking forward to the 'secret omakase' for about $55, that we saw online. Unfortunately, they did not have this when we got there and our waiter, Jake, explained that there was only the sashimi omakase or we could get the pieces a la carte. So we decided to "build our own omakase". Six of us agreed on all the pieces we would order, and eat it in the same order so that we could share the same experience.
We had the seared o'toro, chu toro, blue fin tuna, amaebi (sweet shrimp), hamachi, salmon, salmon belly, scallop, wagyu with uni, and uni. I love tuna, so all of the tuna pieces were great to me - especially the seared o'toro. Amaebi was only okay to me but they fry up the shrimp heads for you, which I really liked and it's not something I'd seen other Japanese restaurants do for me before. Wagyu with uni was really good too but it's so rich, I don't think I could eat more than one of these. My favorite was definitely the uni. The San Diego uni was AMAZING. If available, they'll give you a choice of San Diego or Hokkaido. I didn't try the Hokkaido but I have in NYC, so I know it's something I can get back at home. But when you're in San Diego, you get the San Diego uni, and it did not disappoint! The pieces are also pretty reasonably priced. Wagyu and uni will obviously be more expensive ($13) but for regular pieces like blue fin, salmon, or even the scallop, these were only $3-$4! You can't even get half the quality for this exact price at a fushi restaurant in NYC!
My sister ordered the Himitsu Roll (spicy salmon and crab, topped with scallop, jalapeno, cilantro aioli) and I tried a piece. In theory, it sounds really good. I like everything that's in there, separately. But together, there was just a bit too much going on. I also ate some of the Soft Shell Crab Roll (deep Fried Soft Shell Crab, lettuce, yamagobo , salsa, kaiware) from the non-sushi eaters' side, and it was kind of disappointing. The crab was skimpy and the roll tasted mostly like lettuce. I think they just don't do special rolls well here. It sounds good on paper but the execution falls flat.
Minor gripe - they use paper menus, which seemed like they could have been disposable and most of our menus were pretty dirty. If you're going to use paper menus, I think you can issue a new round between customers, especially during Covid times.
I normally don't say this for a city I'm just visiting, since I like to try new restaurants each time I go - but if I ever find myself in SD again, I would definitely come back!
