The Best Sushi Restaurants in San Diego | Eater San Diego

"A Serra Mesa outpost nestled in a shopping plaza, Kokoro is a quiet temple to the art of Japanese Kappo cuisine where the restaurant’s minimal decor puts the spotlight directly on the plates of fish. Chef Akio “Taisho” Ishito is classically minded, sporting traditional Japanese elevated wood sandals while working behind the bar. A great option for lunch, the combination plates offered from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. (Tuesday through Saturday) are served with miso soup (or upgrade to udon for $2.50). Lunch options include bowls like the Wagamama with the diner’s choice of six pieces of tuna, yellowtail, and/or salmon over sushi rice." - Roxana Becerril
