We went for the dinner omakase and it was delicious! Perfect place for special occasions. Everything was insanely fresh and tender. The servers were all extremely attentive and very nice. An overall great experience that was absolutely worth the price! (I only wish they had a bar)

Restaurant name: Himitsu in La Jolla.
The best sashimi & sushi I've had yet in SD, and will come back, but no where near the best I've had. Yes, need to try more restaurants...
Service was very good. Seated a bit earlier than my reserved time. Amazed at how waiter memorized all the different types of fish!
I ordered the 6 course omakase meal while my wife selected two appetizers and a roll.
The highlights for the omakase: The uni and the fried shrimp head - super sweet & succulent. Toro was also very good.
Overall, it was a decent meal. Everything tasted very freshh, but I hoped for more cooked items to go with the raw fish.
The "lower lights": the grilled tuna rib (that looks like beef) was nothing special - felt like I could have had that anywhere. The dessert, unfortunately, was also weak. Sesame ice cream had minimal sesame flavor.
The best dish of the meal I felt was the hamachi collar my wife ordered. Baked to perfection, super juicy, yet skin had a touch of crispiness.
I will definitely come again since my daughter loves sushi & sashimi, but will order a la carte and mix more cooked items with the raw fish.
Dined for the first time at Himitsu while visiting San Diego from TN. Both the service and the food were phenomenal! My sister and I got a couple of the night’s specials, as well as some sashimi and rolls - all delicious. Even better was the service. A special shout out to our server, Tasha, who was so lovely! While the whole staff was great, she really made our meal special. Thanks again!!
