i lovvved the sushi here. the red dragon roll and the crunchy roll were AMAZING!
its kinda hard to find (behind the freeway on the left hand side before you get up to el torito and benihanas), but totally worth it! we sat at the sushi bar and watched football...but they have teppan grills too.
our server was extremely friendly and fast too!
GO TO FUJI :)

I am a big fan of Mr. Wasabi. I love the cozy casual ambiance. Their Hawaiian Roll is superb and all the food are fresh and of good quality. I've never been waited too long. The wait staff always pay attention and can recommend you if you are 1st time customer. I also like the parking lot which is huge and easy to park.
By the way, I by chance know their recent website that might be helpful for anyone who 's interested.

I went to Cafe Japengo for a birthday celebration and let me tell you, this place is upscale and finely decorated. I order Pizza rolls, if available, at any sushi restaurant I visit. Hands down Cafe Japengo has the best Pizza roll! I also ordered a Fifty-Fifty roll which was also very tasty! This roll has many things going, highly recommended!
Service was prompt and the atmosphere was good! Highly recommended for special occassions.
Pros: Atmosphere and Sushi
Cons: Price and valet parking

Took my brother here for his birthday celebration. Everyone enjoyed themselves. The chef's cook right in front of you, custom made to order. Make sure to get the fried rice, it is so cool how they cut the egg and add it! Everything is great tasting here. Great service, no complaints at all!

Nozomi makes the best sushi ever. Their recently opened restaurant, Nozomi 2 is just the same, except it is newer and a bit cleaner. The service is also very good. Not only were the staff friendly, but the food arrived in less than 20 mins. From my experience, if it takes more than 20 mins, kids will start to get impatient and make it hard to do things.
PROS: 2 convenient locations
CONS:

I was driving around with my parents trying to find something to eat and we stumbled upon this place. Compared to Los Angeles prices for Japanese food, it is half the price. There is always seating and it is a family owned business.

This place can be amazing, you just need to know what to order. All the fish is going to be local, fresh, and NEVER farmed raised. Kiyo seems to take tremendous pride in being able to identify great quality fish. While at Kiyo's I primarily went for the sashimi (tuna, yellow tail, halibut) and it was all great but nothing compared to the Grouper sashimi w/ Ponzu sauce. It was AMAZING! Of course presentation isn't everything but Kiyo is an expert so of course the presentation was beautiful too. The friends we were with love Kiyo's and I was thinking that it was a very good sushi bar until I had the grouper and that is when it went from great to wow, amazing. Kiyo also knows how to torch very well and the roll he made (sorry, I don't know what it was called, we asked him to surprise us) was another amazing piece. There is a full service kitchen which will give you some delicious udon or fried tofu.
Here are a few things I learned from the amazing 2 hour conversation with Kiyo. He basically taught San Diego sushi chefs how to do sushi correctly. He has been here over 20 years and was the first or second sushi bar in SD. He loves to scuba. Seriously, sit at the bar and enjoy your meal instead of being in a rush. This place is worth the time and I'll be going back time and time again.
This is not a trendy, Americanized sushi bar. Kiyo is not going to give you something commercial or with cream cheese in it. Go to Ra Sushi if you want that. This place is infinitely better than any of the Americanized sushi places so give it a shot. Like I said earlier, all the fish was great (grouper and tuna were the best). Oh yeah, the uni was great as well and Kiyo makes all of his sauces himself (nothing out of a bottle).
Pros: Best Sushi in SD
Cons: Parking
