Featured Review

Intimate Old Town sushi spot offers romantic patio seating, plus a bustling bar/lounge area with a DJ booth.

Editor's Tips

Look Good:
It's hidden in Old Town of all places, but it's got a hip, cool vibe after dark.
Save Money:
Get bento box specials at lunch, and take advantage of reduced-price appetizers on the late-night menu.

Sushiii

by SandyMandy at Citysearch

So I am a sushi fanatic, and I have heard soo many good things about this place. I actually went on a date here a few days ago, and wasn't very impressed. It is an alright atmosphere, and I could see it being fun for drinks or happy hour, but the sushi wasnt impressive. I would rather eat elsewhere..

Too Expensive...

by sstar25 at Citysearch

I heard a lot about this place so I was super excited to check it out this last weekend..

When we arrived the atmosphere was great. I was just surprised when I looked at the menu..the prices were much higher than other local sushi companies. We ate and the food was fairly good but definitely not worth the high prices...I will not be going to this sushi restaurant in the future...

My favorite sushi place!

by EBC710 at Citysearch

This is my favorite place to get sushi in SD. The vibe makes you think you're in a much funkier, sophisticated place than Old Town. The beer selection is really good, and the staff is great for recommendations. I love the tuna bruschetta appetizer and I always get some specialty rolls - some favorites are the Mike Check, Maui Wowie, or Rolls Royce. I finish it up and wash it down with some unfiltered sake - heavenly!

Jenn the Waitress Stole $20

by Diana sdgirl at Citysearch

I recently went to Harney's and had Jennifer as my waitress (brown hair, green eyes, acne that was covered up with way to much makeup). The food was okay. When the bill came my friend put in $20 and I asked to have the rest be put on my card. When I noticed the entire bill was put on my card I asked her about it and she said the twenty dollars would be subtracted from the total when the charge goes through on my credit card. Not true!!! The entire bill was put on my card and Jenn decided to pocket the $20 for her self (way over the tip she deserved, if anything at all). I called 3 times to talk to the manager and was told he was "not in" and he never returned my calls. Be careful with this restaurant and Jenn the sleazy waitress. SHADY BUSINESS! Don't bother, the food is not that great and the staff is HORRIBLE!!!‎

  • Pros: Horrible Service
  • Cons: The waitess (Jenn) stole $20
