Top Best Sushi Places & Restaurants in Pacific Beach

"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."

"Located steps from the beach at Mission Bay, Oceana Coastal Kitchen serves a selection of dishes from land and sea using sustainable, fresh ingredients. Highlights include a 25-foot-long cold bar that serves a selection of oysters, fresh sushi, seafood platters and specialty items, such as yellowtail crudo, sesame sea bass ceviche, king crab legs, tuna carpaccio and more. The focal point of the entire restaurant, however, is an 800-gallon aquarium that is home to fluorescent tropical jellyfish."

"Located at the Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa in Mission Beach, this restaurant has a lot going for it: views of Mission Bay, on-point service and seafood for days. Best to kick things off with some sushi and—better yet—to go with the togarashi-seared tuna roll, with crunchy tempura shrimp, crab and spicy garlic ponzu; and the diver scallop roll, with crab, zippy green Sriracha and cucumber.

"A post shared by Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa (@catamaranresortsandiego). Located inside the Catamaran Resort Hotel, there’s a lot to like about Oceana Coastal Kitchen. It all starts with the panoramic view of beautiful Mission Bay."

"Though from the outside this Pacific Beach sushi restaurant looks like just another strip mall restaurant, it is almost undisputedly recognized as San Diego’s best sushi place. This sushi combination is just the beginning — if you’re adventurous you can try local live uni, beef sashimi and more. 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."

"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."

"This might be breaking tradition, but this Japanese restaurant has definitely made it onto the list of the best restaurants in Little Italy. This has got a lot to do with the incredible décor – it’s designed like an abandoned Tokyo subway and there’s a giant cherry blossom tree – but its popularity is down to the imaginative food. Based on the concept of an izakaya (a Japanese pub), Cloak and Petal serves small, sharing plates of sushi and sashimi, Jidori chicken wings and Wagyu steaks."

"You won’t be able to tell if you’re in an art gallery or a gastropub at this Little Italy hotspot. This Japanese restaurant has illuminated Cherry Blossom trees and a modern Japanese-inspired design. The food and drinks are works of art that you’ll want to document."

"I use to like this buffet but it has gone downhill recently. There is another choice in Pacific Beach that is way better."

"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."

"Happy hour was great, $2.50 for a slice of pizza the size of your head, the worker up front was really relaxed and the pizza there was great, a perfect spot..."

"Don Carlos, like so many of San Diego's ubiquitous Mexican restaurants, offers a wide variety of traditional Mexican dishes. The twist here is variety of healthy menu options, including tofu burritos made with tofu, eggs, lettuce, fresh salsa and curry; mushroom burritos, made with mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, lettuce and cheese; and soyrizo tacos, in which the spicy Mexican chorizo sausage is replaced with a less-fattening soy variety.
