"Soichi is not our first Omakase experience, but it is the first one in San Diego that we have had. And what an amazing experience it was!Getting a reservation is key, especially if you want the bar. Our server was Marlon, and we told him we had just moved to SD and were celebrating our engagement anniversary. He was SO friendly and a willing conversationalist; we talked about everything from Ratatouille to the skeletal systems of the fish he was preparing. Not only that but Soichi himself also conversed with us and served us a little bit of sake. What a personality! Great presence, but humble and easy to talk to. The staff was amazing at welcoming us, taking care of us, and making sure we were enjoying our meal at every step.But if the staff was anything to appreciate, the food was even more spectacular. My husband and I have been together since college, so we’ve eaten Omakase in the Bay Area and Japan, but Soichi served us one of the best Omakase experiences on the West Coast. Our favorites were their black throated sea perch, amberjack, scallop, shrimp and fried shrimp head! , salmon, trigger fish, and golden eye red snapper; the snapper is so renowned that they sell a t-shirt of it, which we bought because we enjoyed it so much. All of the ingredients were presented beautifully — check the photos of you don’t believe me. But in addition to that, the fish was very fresh and prepared thoughtfully. The Omakase menu lets you really appreciated everything the seas of Japan have to offer.We paid for the $150 full experience, but added on two flights of sake $28 each flight for 3 different sakes and 4 additional nigiris each. It was a full meal! But we were so pleased with the service and care and quality of food that we ended up hanging around until we were the last customers in the restaurant. Soichi, this was our first visit but not our last.Big thanks to Lorena, Marlon, and Soichi himself for making tonight as special as it was. Our engagement anniversary could not have been better spent. Hoping to come back soon!"

"The ladies at Rose Donuts will impress you with their delicious donuts and stellar customer service. I love this place. I had a temporary work gig in mission valley and during that time I would often stop by Rose's in the morning for some coffee and a raspberry donut. One of the ladies got to know me and once she saw me in line, she would start to grab what I wanted while I waited in line- raspberry donut, coffee and just the right amount of creamer. Every so often I would change it up and get something different. What was really nice was that they had such a wide variety of options beyond donuts. Their bagel choices were so delicious as well as their muffins. The donuts were great but what I really loved was the genuine sense of pride and friendliness. They always said Hi and had a friendly smile. I no longer work in the area but the next time Im down there I'll probably stop in. This is a true mom/pop type business. Those ladies are in there EARLY making fresh donuts and living the life. If you're going to support a local business this is a great shop that deserves your patronage."

"A little loud, but otherwise great! Order at the bar two burgers, mine as the chef intended (almost), his plain and dry. Salt and pepper fries. Coke to drink (maybe a splash of rum, but I'm not driving). Food was FANTASTIC. Lovely flavor, juicy but not dripping down your arm (my arm can't taste it anyway). The bun was perfectly toasted, the veggies fresh and crisp! The fries were perfectly cooked crispy outside, creamy inside, just the right amount of seasoning. I wish I lived here, I'd eat her twice a week!"

"Best Mexican I’ve experienced in a while. Ambiance is exceptional. My wife and I loved it. Our waiter Jorge transported us south of the border for an evening. Service was spot on. Blood orange Marg: Boom. Worth the short trip out of downtown"

"Mal servicio, se reservó con anticipación para un cumpleaños, no se recibió como otros restaurantes, nunca se mencionó que era una ocasión especial (cumpleaños), ni siquiera en el postre, y el trozo de carne como estaba en Agua descongelada, insípida, cruda y dura, no creo que volvamos, esta es la tercera vez que vamos y estuvo muy mal, no lo recomiendo"
