Nice place but the service was not the best. Our waiter checked on us what felt like 20 times. They also snuck a service charge on our bill without telling us and still expected a tip? What was the point of this service charge? Overall, not impressed and would not return.

We love this place! Such a vibe! Fast and courteous service. We got steaks this time vs sushi and food was above par. No live DJ but music was on point.

This place might be perfect for the right group, but our group of 9 mid-40s found it way too loud, had a lot of trouble with our orders, and the food was a mix of delicious and mediocre.

I was there for their amazing HH options and prices before heading to Radys Shell for a concert. The house roll was 10/10, calamari and fries were good, the burger was filling and delicious and the lamb chops were cooked perfectly. The fact that all these were on their HH menu was amazing! Ambiance is cute & trendy. I’m sure it was very quiet only because we were there as soon as they opened but, I’m sure it gets busy later. Service was good and we all left satisfied.

Good was good. Ambiance was great but the service was slow. It seemed like all the tables around us got their orders taken and were severed way before my friend and I.

This was our first time coming to this establishment and we will be back. Yes things are a little pricey but in the gas lamp of san diego everything is. Great food and beautiful people all around. From the front door to the bathroom the atmosphere is dynamic.
