Top Best Japanese Restaurants in Coronado

"This neighborhood gem is a progressive Japanese restaurant with a great selection of hot and cold items. They have a fabulous daily happy hour from 4:30 – 6:30 pm as well as a daily special board with ever-changing fresh options. If you can snag one, some of their tables on the patio have views of the bay and downtown."

"$20 got me hot sake, a saiko miso (with coconut milk and lemongrass) and a bento box with mixed tempura, Cali..."

"Located next to a 7/11, it’s easy to be scared off thinking this is going to be like every other average sushi joint in a strip mall. But Sushi Ota continues to be a local favorite, a chef driven restaurant with ultra fresh seafood. Inside is also not fancy, but the quality of the sushi and the sushi chefs is all that matters."

"Helmed by a venerable sushi master, this restaurant is unassuming, low-key, and unquestionably authentic. Under the eye of owner Yukito Ota, who has trained many of the city’s top sushi chefs, its omakase experience is one of the best in town."

"It's a strip mall setting with a five-star menu and reservations are a must. It's packed…all the time. Order a cooked entrée if you must—there's plenty of teriyaki marinade in the kitchen—but that's really, really not what you come for."

"We all have dreams and while some aren’t attainable - we’re looking at you actual hoverboard - others are, like eating high-quality sushi on a plant-lined patio. For those with more realistic dreams, head to Himitsu in La Jolla. This sushi place routinely flies in ingredients like sea urchin from Hokkaido and king salmon from New Zealand, along with serving less traditional dishes like Baja-style tostadas."

"This is the best place to enjoy an authentic Japanese cuisine. You will get the freshest and best seafood always."

"206 Main Street, Vista 92084 Founded and opened in 2008 by three passionate home brewers based in a humble garage, Mother Earth Brew Co. had one goal: to create distinguished, hand-crafted beers that stimulate sensory conversation and a desire for the next sip. Today, they brew in a 2000 plus sq. foot facility with two available tasting rooms in Vista."

"Sapporo Japanese Restaurant, a sushi bar in Ocean Beach, is another go-to, with four stars out of 231 Yelp reviews. Head over to 5049 Newport Ave. to see for yourself."

"Japanese tapas and craft cocktails are the specialties here. Cloak & Petal transports you to the world of Tokyo, eluding to the streets and style of its roots."

"Yummy Sushi is your source for incredible sushi rolls and authentic Japanese cuisine in beautiful Coronado, CA. We have a fantastic menu filled with both classic and unique dishes, all created with a variety of high quality fish and seafood."

"Taka Sushi’s food earns it a spot on the best sushi in San Diego lineup, and its location in the Gaslamp offers the perfect contrast to the busy, colorful spots surrounding it. The food is delicious and the atmosphere relaxing. What more could you ask for?"

"Breakfast, lunch and takeout baked goods make up the menu at Sugar and Scribe, which is extremely popular during breakfast and lunch hours. It’s worth a visit even just to peruse the various baked goods made fresh every day."

"From biscuits and gravy to fresh Benedicts, this place has everything you could want to start your day off the right way."

"Located in Downtown San Diego, this cookie shop is doing something new. All their cookies are cheesecake-filled and sold in mason jars. They can pack all three of their top sellers, Original Cheesecake, Chocolate Cheesecake, and Snickerdoodle Cheesecake, into one mason jar."

"The Milk Bar offers you a long list of flavored milks that can be blended into milkshakes. Cinnamon Toast Crunch, cookies and cream, Fruit Loops, and chocolate peanut butter are just a few of the many flavored milk choices. The menu also consists of gourmet cookies and milk stouts."

"There is an extra fee to enter the Japanese Friendship Garden, which is an expression of friendship between San Diego and its sister city, Yokohama. There’s an upper and lower strolling path where you can see koi pond, landscaped gardens and a Zen garden viewing deck. It’s a very tranquil space."

"Feel the beauty of the waterfalls and greenery as you stroll the pathways of the Japanese Friendship Garden. Skip right past the entrance fee the third Tuesday of every month. As well, explore the Japanese rock garden and take in the current indoor display."

"The Garden originated as a teahouse during the 1915–16 Panama-California Exposition and now lies on two acres near the Spreckels Organ Pavilion."

"Start the day in Balboa Park and try to get there early because this park is HUGE (and by huge I mean there is a freeway and several other roads running through it). Balboa park isn’t just green space, its packed with the best of San Diego’s museums and you’ll want to do some pre-planning to decide which museums you want to see in the time available (half a day). I’m a space and science nerd so I made a beeline for the Air and Space Museum."

"A post shared by Daniel Deming (@grubyoface619) on May 10, 2016 at 9:44pm PDT. Wander through the attractions in Balboa Park before you make your way to The Prado. This full-service restaurant is perfect for a relaxing dinner where you can spend quality time together."

"Balboa Park is a 1,200-acre urban green space featuring natural vegetation zones, planted gardens and walking paths. It is one of the oldest public recreational areas in the country. The park’s Spreckels Organ Pavilion is the site of free weekly concerts."

"I got the half pitaya and acai, and the acai dominated the pitaya so I was not really able to try ..."

"A Coronado Island treasure inspired by a classic Parisian bistro, Little Frenchie is a lovely spot for lunch. Chef Matt Sramek looks to Paris for culinary inspiration but to Califo..."

"Little Frenchie was one of my favorite spots on Coronado Island. There are many brunch places around, but this one had to be the cutest in my opinion."

"Another great brunch spot that I used to go to all the time when I lived in North County. It has a Mexican food twist to all the dishes, but super CLEAN & fresh. I get the yin & yang breakfast which is rosemary potatoes, jalapeños, onions, tomatoes, red bean, avocado, cheese, sour cream, salsa, & a tortilla (I add poached eggs on top) & their golden fairy dust latte which is chai tea, ginger, cinnamon, sub the soy milk for almond milk… to die for!!!"

"First, choose between a basic buttermilk or organic whole grain gluten-free batter for your pancakes. Then, add the toppings of your choice from wild blueberry to toasted coconut and mango. Moreover, there are vegan pancakes too."
