Busy but Friendly Staff and Great Food
It was a Saturday night during winter break, so the restaurant was very busy and short-staffed. Even so, the staff were friendly and patient and did their best to accommodate customers. Everything else was great and exactly to my taste!

Delicious Katsu and Tuna Roll!
My experience at this family-owned restaurant was wonderful. I enjoyed the delicious chicken Katsu and a perfectly done tuna roll. The fresh fish and perfectly seasoned sushi rice with just the right texture were highlights. The atmosphere felt like a casual Japan vibe. This is a restaurant I’ll definitely keep coming back to.

Dry Food, Good Service, Ample Parking
My experience at this restaurant was mixed. The service was quick, and there were ample parking spaces. However, I found the food to be dry and flavorless. Considering the quality, it was also quite expensive. I do not recommend the food.

Authentic Family Gem with Fresh Sushi
My experience at this restaurant was absolutely wonderful! I highly recommend it. We savored the Rainbow Sushi Roll, the Green Muscles plate, and the Alaskan Sushi Roll. Everything was absolutely fresh and beautifully prepared. The service was exceptional, provided by the family's daughters with great care and delight. We were seated immediately and appreciated the EZ and plentiful parking with immediate freeway access. Don't be fooled by the subtle beige double doors; this was a truly lovely, authentic experience. I'm so pleased this delightful family persevered through the pandemic years. The prices are VERY reasonable, so be sure to tip well! We love supporting local, quality, family businesses like this, as they are the backbone of our local economy and national pride.

Amazing Food and Great Experience!
I had been meaning to eat here for a while and finally got the chance tonight with my daughter. I ordered the Cali roll and beef teriyaki combo, while my daughter enjoyed the chicken katsu and tempura combo. The food was absolutely amazing! I will definitely be dining here again and highly recommend it to others. The restaurant itself was also very nice, comfortable, and clean inside. The wait staff was also very friendly.

Yoshino's: A Decades-Long Favorite
My experience at Yoshino's has been consistently excellent over the many years I've been visiting. I've been a patron for over 40 years, even when they were in a smaller location next door. I particularly love the mixed sushi tray appetizer and the combination sesame chicken-sashimi. It's always a favorite! 😋😊

Hidden Gem with Great Food and Service!
Although it’s been around for 25+ years, I never knew this place existed. I'm so glad I found it! The prices are very reasonable for both sushi and other dishes. The food was great! The attentive & friendly service from the Mom & Pop was an added bonus.

Generous Portions, Great Value Lunch!
My experience at the restaurant was great, especially for lunch. I got the chicken Katsu lunch, which was a generous portion and came with miso soup and salad. If you're looking for a lot of food at a good price, they definitely deliver. The food was satisfying, and the price was excellent for the amount of food received.

Favorite Japanese Spot in San Diego!
We tried this place on a whim and it has quickly become one of our favorite Japanese food spots. The food was great, and the service was excellent. We were pleasantly surprised by the reasonable prices, which is quite rare in San Diego. The atmosphere is also cute and cozy. We will definitely be back.

Katsudon is the only choice!
My experience at this restaurant was centered around one standout dish: the Katsudon. If you visit, this is unequivocally the best dish to order. It's the only choice I'd make if I were to return.
