Yakitori Tsuta

Best Restaurants and Bars to Try on Convoy Street in Kearny Mesa | Eater San Diego

"Convoy is home to San Diego’s first yakitori omakase restaurant, Yakitori Tsuta, headed by the venerable chef Tatsuro Tsuchiya, who has spent time at Sushi Tadokoro, Yakitori Yakyudori, and Yakitori Hino. The elegant space seats fewer than a dozen people. Needless to say, reservations are hard to come by, so book early. Over the two-hour omakase, the chef will parse out 18 to 20 dishes. Available at both the 5:30 p.m. and 8:15 p.m. seating, the omakase is worth the adventure. At the 5:30 p.m. seating, guests can order a la carte or opt for the full omakase. Forget beef, pork, or fish — only chicken and vegetable skewers are served, followed by tiny desserts." - Helen I. Hwang
