Azuki Sushi - San Diego

This sushi restaurant is a must-visit destination. Despite its unassuming exterior and small interior, the atmosphere is hip and contemporary. My sister and I loved everything we tried. The 'Shell Shock' roll was packed with shrimp, scallops, and veggie tempura, topped with spicy mayo and sweet sauce. The 'Land and Sea' roll, featuring crab and Kobe beef, was a standout for me. I also enjoyed the 'Are You Kidding Me?' roll, filled with seafood and asparagus. For a citrusy treat, try the 'Vertigo' roll wrapped in cucumber and crab with citrus garlic sauce. The green tea martinis are light and refreshing. I can't wait to go back again.

I give this restaurant 4 stars because they have several vegan options labeled on the menu. I tried a few rolls with ingredients I didn't particularly like, but that's probably just personal preference. If I were to visit again, I would definitely go back but choose a different dish.

I would give this restaurant a 5-star rating. Typically, if the food is tasty and the service is good, I would rate it 5 stars. But this restaurant has an added bonus: the speed at which they serve is incredibly fast! Typically, at a sushi restaurant, especially at a more upscale establishment, the service can be slow. However, this restaurant has managed to achieve the impossible trifecta: amazing flavors, excellent service, and fast speed!

This restaurant is one of the best-rated sushi places in San Diego. The service was excellent and so was the food quality. However, I found it to be a bit on the expensive side and I wasn't particularly impressed with the special rolls I ordered. They were a bit too complicated for my taste. I wish they offered more classic hand rolls in addition to the elaborate special rolls. Despite this, I would be willing to give it another try.

We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious and inventive dishes at this restaurant. The uni toast was a standout, and all of the rolls we tried were excellent as well. While the prices were slightly higher than other sushi spots, the top-notch quality of the fish and the innovative flavors made it well worth it. We recommend parking on the street one block over next to Balboa Park. Overall, we give the food a perfect score of 5 out of 5.
