San Diego's Japanese dining reaches its highest level in its sushi rooms, several with a quiet, longtime following. Sushi Ota in Pacific Beach is the city's most celebrated traditional sushi-ya, while Sushi Tadokoro keeps a serious omakase going in Old Town.
Sushi Tadokoro in San Diego is Mitsui Tadokoro's Old Town omakase counter, the long-running Michelin Guide-listed Japanese kitchen with traditional.
OrderThe omakase nigiri course; the toro sashimi with grated wasabi made tableside.
TipReservations strongly recommended; the counter seats twelve and books out a week ahead.
Sushi Ota in San Diego is Yukito Ota's Mission Bay Drive room since 1990, the strip-mall sushi counter that has trained more San Diego sushi chefs than any.
OrderThe omakase, ordered by sitting at the counter and asking the chef directly.
TipBook the counter, not the dining room. The strip-mall location is intentional; ignore the parking lot and step inside.
