Cloak and Petal Little Italy

My partner and I were in San Diego after going to Julian and I had this place saved from TikTok. Absolutely worth all of the hype. The food is probably some of the best sushi and pork belly I have ever had. The atmosphere was electric and everyone on the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I cannot recommend this place enough to anyone traveling through or maybe even locals!

Ordered: NA Bev. - The Samantha & Cold Brew Food- Miso soup, edamame, kamikaze roll, hamachi toro and a couple other rolls I’ve forgotten the name of. The quality of the ingredients were great, awesome flavor profiles and simple but thoughtful plating presentation. The vibe of the restaurant is very cool. Will definitely be back

This sushi bar in San Diego definitely stands out for its atmosphere more than the food. When you first walk in, the sight that immediately catches your eye is the large sakura tree set right in the center of the restaurant. It really sets the tone and gives the whole place a unique and beautiful vibe. The restaurant itself is spacious, and there was a lively energy with a lot of people dining and enjoying themselves, which made it feel like a fun and social spot to spend an evening. Their menu is quite extensive with many Japanese dishes to choose from, so at first glance it seems very promising. However, I have to admit I wasn’t very impressed by the food itself. The sushi rice was much too soft and mushy, which really took away from the overall experience of the sushi. The style also f

Very cool space. You can tell they care about aesthetics here. The carefully curated, hip-hop influenced pieces of art set the tone & match the music, an incredible playlist that we were all singing along to. The food was top tier. We got sushi & wings... immaculate. Anime playing on the TV screens... what more could you ask for? 10/10

This place was so good! I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease and eating my favorite foods has been hard. I noticed they had gluten free options and had to try it out! The ambience is really fun! We had Carla as our server and she was wonderful!!! Made sure everything I was ordering was safe for me to eat, brought me gluten free soy sauce before I even ordered, and let us know there’s a gluten free poznu sauce! She also let us know about 2 gluten free desserts, one was a matcha Crème brûlée and it was so good! The other was an ube cheesecake. The food was so good I can’t wait to go back and try more options! The best part, I didn’t get glutened! Can’t wait to bring friends next time!!!
