    This place was a great overall experience for my friends and I. Food was amazing, atmosphere was electric, sake and drinks kept flowing. Stairs on the other hand were hazardous, my buddy fell down a whole flight of stairs after two bottles of sake. But he’ll be okay, definitely recommend, will come back!

    The sushi was very flavorless and they were limited options and way overpriced.

    Minus one star for paying too much attention to us. It was a first date and the conversation was going really well. But it seemed like a different person would come over and ask us if we needed anything or how is everything? We must have seen 5 different people. Appreciate the attention but maybe just 2 people checking on us would have been sufficient. We’ll still go back.

    We have been here a few times and always have a great experience. The rooftop dining makes Lumi a special place in the Gaslamp Quarter. We were with a group and ordered a wide variety of sushi rolls and dishes. I highly recommend the Suntory Highball for a cocktail. They have one of few Suntory Highball machine in SD. It is very refreshing and light, great on a warm evening.

    We had a wonderful birthday dinner here! Connor did a fantastic job as our server. He was knowledgeable, decisive, helpful, and went above and beyond. The atmosphere was fun and had a beautiful view of the city. The food and drinks were unique and delicious. Highly recommend!

    The Seabass roll and lychee cocktail were amazing. Our server was fantastic as well. It was a beautiful evening and being outdoor like that was such a treat after being indoors at a conference all day long. My coworkers and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you!
