Food is excellent. Must try the Kakuni, the sweet and spicy Shrimp and the buffalo cauliflower. Happy hours pricing is light on pocket. Go for if you’re in OB. Tia provided an excellent service!

Rolls are very delicious and handled with care. Slightly overpriced in my honest opinion, $18 for 8 pieces of sushi is a little steep. Did not have any of the Spanish food here, it looks very good though. Overall very cool place.

My wife and I enjoyed our experience here. We started with drinks, I had an HI Mai Tai and she a mocktail. The Mai Tai was excellent and strong. I was surprised at the number of mocktail options they had on the menu. We had the salmon sashimi, granny and train wreck rolls, truffle fries, and Tokyo shrimp. The train wreck roll was my favorite. Their truffle fries were some of the best we’ve had and the Buffalo Tokyo shrimp was delicious. Service was amazing as well. We will definitely be coming back whenever we find ourselves in San Diego next

Great experience! Food was delicious and came super quickly. We had a bunch of small plates to share (5, which was a little more than enough for 2 people). Everything was good, but the standout for us was the pork belly tapas. Service was great, and very friendly as well. So, this is a great spot for some dinner after watching the sunset on the beach for sure.

Delicious food!! Pork belly tacos were amazing with the crispy fried pork. Tasty Marry Jane sushi roll, a happy hour special 😄 Scallops with mashed potato tasted great as well. Wish there were more than 3 small scallops. Quality made up for the lack of scallops! Great variety of drinks - lots of beer on draft, and outstanding margaritas! Attentive service!!
