The Best Sushi Restaurants in San Diego | Eater San Diego

"For over a quarter-century, owner Yukito Ota showcased his tremendous sushi skills at his eponymous and unassuming strip mall spot. Ota, who trained many of the city’s best sushi makers, has now retired and entrusted the restaurant to one of his longtime chefs, Shigenari “Shige” Tanabe, who is still serving standout sushi. In true Japanese style, Sushi Ota is a place where diners go to hide in plain sight, as the main focus is providing a comfortable place for people to unwind and indulge in satiating sushi after a long day. Lunch specials start at $14 for chicken teriyaki and dinner options from the sushi bar include a $37 Tokusen nigiri combination plate with tuna, yellowtail, salmon, toro, white fish, bluefin tuna rib meat, albacore, scallop, salmon roe, eel, and a tuna roll." - Roxana Becerril
