    WE FOUND IT!! The best sushi in San Diego is in this tiny strip mall in Carlsbad!!! The rolls are huge and extremely creative. The fish is so fresh. And the flavors are amazing. Get this. You will not have to dip these s rolls in your soy n wasabi mix!!! They r extremely flavorful on their own.

    Loved the music! John Katchur is an amazing guitarist and songwriter. The service was ok... multiple people were attending to our table, with suddenly someone new and no consistency, and yet long gaps when no one showed up... There was only one option for hot sake and it wasn't very good. Miso soup was very mediocre but Sushi was delicious.

    I dined here for lunch with friends and thought it was excellent. Great options for plant based eaters, too. I brought my family back for dinner this week, and the experience was not great for a family with small children or someone in your party used to ordering double protein at restaurants. There is no kids menu, which in most cases is fine for us as long as there is flexibility on the menu. But we wanted to order a chicken breast for our child, and the manager would not allow the server to do that. Our only option was to order her a $20 adult sized dinner which she would not have eaten. My husband also wanted to order extra chicken with his chicken teriyaki plate, and the manager declined allowing us that option as well. I walked into the restaurant really excited to share this experience with my family, and it just wasn’t a good place for us. I may come back with adults only at some point in the future, but I won’t come back with my toddler.
