Service was unacceptable. One server for the entire outdoor seating took 10 minutes to get one beer. Four people at dinner and our waters were not refilled. Sushi was below average will not be returning. Nice location.

Always amazing, fresh sushi in a wonderful setting. More on the expensive side, but you get what you pay for and SI is some of the best traditional sushi in North county.

We actually ate here twice while we were in Del Mar. This is my absolute favorite sushi restaurant in the area. The place is small so make reservations, but you won’t be sorry. This is authentic sushi, not American rolls with all the junk on it. Our server was wonderful the times they carry Asahi, Japanese beer, which my husband loves. They have really good specials and a ton of options. I can’t see enough about this place. If you love, good sushi, this is your place.
