"Located next to a 7/11, it’s easy to be scared off thinking this is going to be like every other average sushi joint in a strip mall. But Sushi Ota continues to be a local favorite, a chef driven restaurant with ultra fresh seafood. Inside is also not fancy, but the quality of the sushi and the sushi chefs is all that matters."

"Over in Pacific Beach, check out Sushi Ota, which has earned 4.5 stars out of 3,615 reviews on Yelp. You can find the sushi bar and Japanese spot at 4529 Mission Bay Drive."

"We all have dreams and while some aren’t attainable - we’re looking at you actual hoverboard - others are, like eating high-quality sushi on a plant-lined patio. For those with more realistic dreams, head to Himitsu in La Jolla. This sushi place routinely flies in ingredients like sea urchin from Hokkaido and king salmon from New Zealand, along with serving less traditional dishes like Baja-style tostadas."

"This is the best place to enjoy an authentic Japanese cuisine. You will get the freshest and best seafood always."

Today, they brew in a 2000 plus sq. foot facility with two available tasting rooms in Vista."

"Sapporo Japanese Restaurant, a sushi bar in Ocean Beach, is another go-to, with four stars out of 231 Yelp reviews. Head over to 5049 Newport Ave. to see for yourself."

"Coffee Cycle is an amazing and very small location right on the edge of Pacific Beach that’s a great place to go if you want to just be in and out and not have to deal with crowds. The best thing about this coffee shop is its neighborhood feel. Coffee Cycle is not the best place to go if you want to get comfortable and work due to the fact that it has very little seating and lots of street noise."

"This unique Asian Fusion, steak, and sushi restaurant is located adjacent to the La Jolla Playhouse on the UCSD campus. Note: Closed on Mondays. Local favorites include: the Lemon roll, Don Juan roll, and the 808 roll."
