The best sushi I’ve had in the US. We ordered omakase with full discretion to the chef. He completely treated us, and it was clear many of the dishes he served us were his personal passion that he wanted to share. I’ve never had that much variety and/or freshness in seafood, and didn’t expect to have a meal like this on a random Sunday. Even after the main meal, he wouldn’t stop making new pieces to demonstrate new recipes. Was touched by his passion, and would absolutely recommend!

I came here in August with my friend for a 1:00 PM lunch on a Saturday, first time here. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor patio seating with a nice view. The patio was fairly busy. We were able to get the last table for 2 in the shade. The hostess/server, Kyoko sat us and took our drink order. She was very rushed, but still attentive, maybe understaffed? The poor women was running all over the place. We ordered a couple beers along with Sea Urchin, Yellowtail, Tuna, Salmon, Eel, Masago with Quail Eggs Nigiri, and a Fried Soft Shell Crab appetizer. All the sushi was fresh and presented well. The quality of the fish was very average as compared to other Del Mar competitors, but for the prices which was very reasonable it was good. Take note, my favorite part of the meal was the Soft Shell Crab appetizer...that was fantastic. I could of eaten a whole appetizer myself! I would definitely come back for lunch. Atmosphere: nice, great patio. Service: good. Food: good (I would come for lunch only)

I love the foods so much!!! But the waiter made me feel upset. Why I said that because 1. we’re waiting over 20 minutes and no one comes asking if we’re ready to order or don’t even have a cup of water. 2. In this 20 minutes 3 waiters passing by us and every one went to asking the 2 different table who was came in the store after than we were. 3. We have to calling the waiter come over to help us order food and I feel that’s rude. 4. For 1 hrs dinner only has 1 waiter come by ask how’s the food and adding water for us. I mean it is very nice to have “peaceful dinner” but some how we also need service too,right?(like order more food/drinks etc) If not what’s the reason we pay for the tips?
