"Lumi is one of the top three best sushi restaurants I have ever been to. It is also among my top three favorite restaurants in San Diego. Located on a rooftop in the Gas Lamp district, the restaurant itself is an experience worth having. The food is amazing and exceptionally unique, blending Japanese and Peruvian cuisines seamlessly under the direction of Michelin-Starred chef Akira Back. We started with the Akira Back Pizza, then enjoyed a variety of Lumi Specialty Rolls and Nigiri. My personal favorites were the Surf N Turf roll and the Red Snapper Nigiri. For dessert, we tried both the Mochi and the AB Cigar, both of which were delightful. The cocktails are original and inspired by Japanese flavors, and they also offer Sake flights and a wide range of other drinks. To top it all off, our server Tim was exceptional. He was charming, knowledgeable, and provided excellent recommendations to ensure we had the best dining experience possible. While Lumi is an incredible restaurant, Tim truly enhanced our experience and guided us to make the most of what it has to offer."
