Description:

  • Masterful chef-owner Yukito Ota creates San Diego's finest sushi. This sophisticated, traditional restaurant is a minimalist bento box with stark white walls and black furniture, softened by indirect lighting. The sushi menu is short, because discerning regulars look first to the daily specials posted behind the counter. The city's most experienced chefs, armed with nimble fingers and seriously sharp knives, turn the day's fresh catch into artful little bundles accented with mounds of wasabi and ginger. The rest of the varied menu features seafood, teriyaki-glazed meats, feather-light tempura, and a variety of small appetizers perfect to accompany a large sushi order. This restaurant is difficult to find, mainly because it's hard to believe that such outstanding dining would hide behind a laundromat and convenience store in the rear of a mini-mall. It's also in a nondescript part of Pacific Beach -- a stone's throw from I-5.

    Disappointed after all the Rave Reviews

  • After all the wonderful reviews on Trip Advisor we were super excited to try out Sushi Ota. And we were extremely disappointed. The Sushi was average/okay, definitely no where near...
