We eat here every time we are in San Diego. We make a point of it. We have not been disappointed. We have our favorites, and we like to try their additions. This visit we had the tried and true surf and turf roll-so good. Love the toasted garlic/ scallions. Our new experience was a medley of skewers. Chicken, wagyu beef, eggplant, shrimp. Must say the eggplant was especially tasty. We’ll be back, yet again, on our next San Diego visit.

Super great place for a celebration as light and music set this up. Food was much better than expected. Service was only hampered by loud music so making arrangements w server was difficult. Otherwise a great experience!
