Very fresh sushi, friendly chefs, the BEST otoro I've had – Summary: To tell myself Sushi Ota was delectably delightful would only begin to scratch the taste buds as my mouth exploded in delight when the otoro (fatty tuna) touched down. They have some of the freshest fish you'll find from both sides of the Pacific, the chefs are all knowledgeable, professional, and talkative. We went omakase (chef's choice) style as well as picked up a baked scallop dish, proving that both cooked and uncooked made the grade. We went on a Mon... read more

Definitely make reservations ahead of time – Even with reservations you can expect a wait, but you have to be there on time in order to get the table. However, the sushi is fantastic. I would definitely say that it is on par with great places I've been to in LA and New York, and among the best sushi I've had in the US. It doesn't quite compare with the sushi in Japan, but is not bad for the States. I would recommend the sashimi omakase, we once had that there and it came with a live lobster and lobster sashimi which is not e... read more

Hamachi and the spicy dynamite roll are crowd favorites, but the menu also includes sea urchin, soft shell crab, teriyaki-glazed mea... read more

Best sushi in SD – You know this place is the best when it's standing room only and you can't get a reservation for the same day. And when you see this many Japanese people in one place, you know it's authentic, too. The spider rolls are awesome!

Good Sushi in SD – You can't do much better in San Diego than this place for sushi. Angelenos may find the sushi here merely average compared to what you can find in LA, but for San Diego it is pretty good. They do rolls well here. Daily recommended appetizers are usually fresh and tasty as well. The decor is rather hip. The service is good. Likely wait due to high popularity.
