If you can, try and sit at the sushi bar to meet Chef Ota himself and so you can watch the masters at work and learn what’s fresh."

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."

"Reservations are recommended for Sushi Ota, another candidate for best sushi in San Diego honors. Sushi Ota is way more traditional than, say, Harney Sushi, but the quality of the ingredients makes even the most common rolls and sashimi shine. Standout Quality: Impressively wide selection of fresh fish"

Celebrate seasonality with a chef’s selection bento box available for take-out exclusively at The Yasai’s Little Italy location."
