The 38 Best Restaurants in San Diego | Eater San Diego

"Well-crafted nigiri sushi is one of the attractions at this Michelin-recognized restaurant, which tops many sushi aficionados’ lists for its adherence to traditional Japanese style and technique. Classic edomae sushi is the ethos here, meaning the raw fish is served simply with rice seasoned with vinegar. Tucked away in Old Town, the setting is sparse and intimate; all of the fireworks are reserved for what’s on the plate. Menu options include omakase at the sushi bar or the table, as well as a la carte sushi. Be sure to try the sea urchin sushi, a specialty here. Chef Tadokoro selects the seasonal sea urchin from Hokkaido and California for the best flavors. Know before you go: Parking is tight in the modest strip mall where Sushi Tadokoro sits, but nearby street parking is usually available." - Candice Woo
