Itacho Sushi - All You Can Eat

The food was great! Prices were really reasonable especially for the quality. The restaurant was clean and had a nice atmosphere. Ate over 4 rounds of sushi and nigiri, no regrets! The fish slices were hefty and everything was plated beautifully

This place is probably the best sushi experience me and my wife have ever had. The food was amazing, the servers were very attentive and made sure we got everything we needed. We did the all you can eat (Highly recommend), everything from their appetizers, nigiri, handrolls, and cut rolls were amazing. The fish they use is high quality and all the items were fresh and made per order. Everything was very tasty, if you're ever craving for sushi I encourage you to give this place a try, you will not be disappointed.

This place is just amazing. The best sushi restaurant I've ever been. The food is incredible, the service amazing and the atmosphere is just perfect. I don't have even the smallest thing to complain about the restaurant. Just go!!!

Had an amazing experience at Itacho Sushi! I went for the all-you-can-eat option, and everything was fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. The unlimited sashimi was definitely the highlight, generous portions and great quality. Service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere was clean and relaxed. It’s the kind of place you leave already thinking about your next visit. Will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend if you’re a sushi lover looking for quality and value!

Great quality food with delicious sushi! There are ngiri and sashimi options for the fish as well as rolls. The salmon and tuna avocado rolls were definitely my favorites by far! We came on a Saturday so it was a little slow to get our orders (specifically just for the rolls) as they were busy. Other than that, no complaints and will absolutely be returning!

It’s easily one of the best all-you-can-eat sushi spots in town. Little Sakana’s (Mira Mesa) sushi rolls all taste the same because they use a lot of the same fillings like artificial crab in every roll. Isushi has good variety but they are far (Chula Vista). The fish is incredibly fresh and cut to perfection. Everything tastes high quality, not what you’d expect from a typical AYCE experience. The menu has a great variety, from sashimi to creative specialty rolls, and every dish is beautifully presented. The only downside is the fact that salmon sashimi and nigiri are no longer on the menu. Although smoked salmon is still on the menu for sashimi and nigiri. I got the Ultra menu because I wanted to try the wagyu and scallops. The wagyu was really good. The scallops were good as well but I wish I selected 3 orders of wagyu and one scallop order. One other con, are the soups, the miso, hot and sour, and tonkatsu ramen were all on the watery side. The service here is top-notch. We were quoted 45-60 min wait, and waited 45 minutes to be seated even though there were many empty tables. It’s still a fairly new restaurant so I can only assume they are short staffed. There are noticeably more employees at a kBBQ restaurant where the restaurant is smaller. That being said, once we were finally sat, the staff is friendly, attentive, and quick, which makes the whole dining experience even better. I also love how the restaurant feels clean and inviting, perfect for casual dinners or a fun night out. For an AYCE restaurant the tables are well spaced apart from each other. At one point the restaurant was full and I could easily talk to the other people at the dinner table which is super rare to find for a full restaurant in the convoy area. Also, the parking lot is HUGE, so I easily found a parking spot which is rare for this area and it being an AYCE restaurant. If you’re looking for great sushi without compromising on quality while still enjoying the AYCE experience, this is the place to go! I really appreciated Hector our server. He was amazing!!!! With tip it was $72 per person.

Quality and Value ! Saw a sign saying soft opening ALL YOU CAN EAT SUSHI ! For only $29.99 I’m in ! Me and my buddy came here and were starving ! We started things off with fried calamari and crab. Rangoon. Fried calamari with some of the best I ever had. It’s very convenient. There ls a waiter coming to your table often, That way you can keep ordering. We got a total of 9 rolls ! itacho roll, amazing tuna roll, Lemon roll, Dragon roll, Hot night roll, Spicy yellow tail, Deep fried California , Red dragon roll , & Baked dynamite roll. My favorites was the the lemon roll, hot night roll, and baked dynamite roll. Lots of seating inside and the restaurant was clean which is always a plus !! Now they also have Nigiri on their menu ! I got 3 different nigiri’s. Red snapped, smoked salmon, & tuna ! We finished off with their ice cream. The have 3 different flavors. Strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla! I got the strawberry and it was amazing ! I can’t wait for my next visit here ! For 29.99 I guarantee you won’t find the quantity, quality, and better service than this !

They've only soft-opened less than a week ago, but most menu items seemed to be available when we went (I've now visited 2x in 3 days). Basically it's $29.99 (premium) on weekday lunches, and $42.99 (platinum) for evenings & weekends. Platinum basically gets you unlimited sashimi that I was happy to pair with the rice from my other nigiri and cut rolls. I was impressed by the sheer variety of foods you could order, and service was very friendly. All food is ordered and plated individually, and rather aesthetically (it's not a self-serve buffet). Word apparently hasn't gotten out yet so this is your best time to drop by and get super fast attentive service with food coming out pretty much right away! They do have hot foods and appetizers for those who aren't into sushi, but just note that the best value goes to the sushi lovers.

"Great Sushi, Even Better Service!" We came in for all-you-can-eat sushi yesterday (7/17/25) and left with full hearts -- thanks to the incredible service from Eric. From start to finish, he was so kind, patient, and genuinely attentive. He checked in on us with perfect timing, remembered our preferences, and made sure everything we ordered came out just right. Eric had such a warm, positive vibe -- he made us feel relaxed and truly taken care of. It's rare to find someone who clearly enjoys what they do and makes guests feel that energy. He turned a good meal into a great experience! We'll definitely be back -- and we're crossing our fingers that we'll get Eric again. Thank you so much for making our lunch so special.

New, clean and spacious ayce sushi restaurant. The fish and hot food were very fresh and tasty. Thank you to Abdul, our server, for the friendly and fast service. He made our lunch meal very pleasant and enjoyable by always checking in on us. As elderly folk, great service really makes a difference! We will be coming back soon.

Clocking the odometer at 48yo in November, I've enjoyed Sushi from a very early age, and have always favored it prepared as close to traditional as possible. Of all cuisines, i am the most critical in this realm of culinary arts. Itacho passed and exceeded all my expectations for an All You Can Eat Sushi restaurant, so much so that i have placed this as my number one All You Can Eat Sushi spot on 1st visit. Every order was cut perfect and plated with presentation in mind, no two orders looked the same, and the freshness of the seafood is without a doubt a solid representation of the overall quality this place exudes. The restaurant itself has a modern Japanese theme and is clean, spacious and inviting. Service is prompt and courteous, Ryan treated me well and was of good help when needed. I went at lunch, but ordered the Ultra experience. With that said, the service experience may differ during much busier weekend evenings. The restroom is also super clean & admittedly carried a pleasant fragrance. Itacho blew me away in service, presentation, quality and atmosphere, easily awarding it a well deserved 5 Star Spot, Super Impressed, WeLL DoNE!!!

Dropped in for lunch and was surprised at how good their food and service was. Their price point is unbelievable for the quality of food provided. The place is clean. Service is quick and provided with a smile. My server was Sohpia - 6/5 amazing. With lots of dining space and a few TVs, it's a great spot to relax and savor all the flavors of each item you choose. My favorites were the kitchen appetizers. Perfect for sharing but why would you want to!? Be sure to save room for dessert as it is also included. I chose their deep fried cheesecake. Mind blown. Sadly, my pictures don't do this place any justice... Be sure to give them a try. No matter where you live in San Diego. Welcome to the America's Finest City!

ITACHO SUSHI @ CLAIREMONT Parking is available right out front and is free. This spot is also shared with other businesses in a plaza. Walking in i was like DANG! It's so spacious, so clean, and incredible ambiance. Like this was the SPOT for big parties. The service was incredible, we met awesome staff that went through the menu with us for the All You Can Eat, since it was our first time there. It is just $42.99 for the premium, with a LOAD of selections, all unlimited. The sashimi cuts are so delicious, I definitely wish they were a bit thinner, however extremely great quality. They have a variety of rolls, appetizers, soups, even desserts. It was endless. Service was overall amazing, really loved this spot and I will definitely return and bring new people here.

I was excited that an AYCE sushi opened up in the Kearny area. We went on a Wednesday night so the price was $42.99, this price, I think, is higher than Little Sakana - another popular AYCE option. However the menu here does provide a lot of appetizer options that include salmon or tuna sashimi with different marinades and includes ramen and dessert! The quality was good and after ordering the food comes out quick. Service was a little slow at times from the server like the initial ordering. There's also no limit to how much you can order in a round! Overall it was good and I love that they have seared salmon as a nigiri option, which many places don't do!

Love this new AYCE Sushi spot. Pretty large venue. Decor is spot on. Two large screen TVs right when you walk in. Very spacious. Just enough table that you do not feel all cramped up. They even have booths. They have a separate area set up for larger parties. A few people were celebrating their birthdays and looked fun! They have a neon light up birthday signs and looked like they gave the adults bday drink! Everyone was screaming happy birthday. We went on Friday night and tried their platinum for $42.99. All I have to say is that it was worth it. Our server was the BEST! We forgot to get her name she was so attentive and did not steer us wrong. She recommended Amazing Salmon, Tuna Tataki, and Yellow Tail Jalapeño for appetizers. Tim and I could have ate just those 3 the entire dinner. So yummy, light and refreshing. Favorite roll was surprisingly deep fried Coronado Bridge Roll. If you're not into sushi, they offer Tonkotsu and Miso ramen and they also have teppanyaki. Their fried cheesecake was the perfect ending to the meal. Do order a side of vanilla ice cream. Trust. Give this place a try. You will not be disappointed. We definitely will be back to enjoy their lunch time offer.

A brand new AYCE sushi restaurant takes the place of two businesses in the heart of Clairemont Mesa! - PARKING - Tons of space in this lot that is shared by other businesses, no need to worry about fighting for a spot here! - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - The staff was extremely welcoming and attentive. Aaron, the host, was always willing to help and we appreciated his initiative! Once we ordered, service staff almost immediately brought over the prepared food. Even later orders we received our food pretty fast! They were also quick to clean up empty plates as well. The restaurant is completely renovated as they took over two areas of businesses. Very spacious, great for group dining! There's even another dining area where larger parties can be seated. They also have a huge screen displaying videos which are entertaining to watch. - FOOD - Platinum: A great variety of food options, ranging from sharable appetizers, salads, sushi rolls, nigiri and sashimi, ramen and even teppanyaki! The offering of teppanyaki as well as the yakitori is a very unique find for AYCE sushi, as I've never seen it before! We really liked the hot kitchen food items - definitely give the yakitori and teppanyaki a try! The fish quality is very good for an AYCE sushi restaurant, and the fish to rice ratio is pretty decent as well! The biggest plus for me for platinum/dinner is that you can order as much sashimi as you'd like! Sometimes I just want to enjoy the fish alone, so I'm glad that's an option here, and without limits. My favorite pieces were the Salmon and Unagi. The Demon Roll was also very good! - OVERALL - A great spot to satisfy your sushi cravings, especially if those cravings are big! AYCE sushi really does mean all you can eat here!!!

Great value for AYCE lunch buffet. $29.99 per person M-F until 4pm. We ate on a Friday 3:00pm. There was a small wait list but only waited for only 20 minutes. Our waiters were very nice and friendly. There is a wide variety of items on the menu. Including Ramen soup! Recommend the Sunshine roll and the shrimp tempura hand roll. The restaurant is casual and great for all ages.

Newly opened Itacho Sushi is for sure worth the hype (and price!). This AYCE spot is in the same plaza as Lolita's & Katsu Cafe. Lunch: M-F $29.99 for adults Dinner & Weekends: $42.99 for platinum menu & $55.99 for ultra menu (ultra comes with everything offered in the platinum menu + uni, wagyu, lobster gunkan, & sea scallop). There's a wide array of sushi rolls (raw, deep fried, or baked, or a mixture of both), nigiri & sashimi, hand rolls, soups, appetizer items, noodle dishes, and dessert. Another plus is their amazing prices for alcohol. 10/10 as everything is made/ prepared to order aka extremely fresh tasting!

Amazing new AYCE Sushi spot in Kearny Mesa off Clairemont Mesa Blvd East. Two prices for this spot which has the most options I've seen in an ayce. Great for groups to try different kinds of sushi, nigiri and sashimi's. Don't like sushi?? There's ramen, a plethora of appetizers, baked sushi rolls, teppanyaki and more. Ask your servers for the best recommendations! You will be overwhelmed by choices. Bring your appetizer for mouth melting sushi.

My wife and I went here on a Saturday night at 8:20 and were seated 40 minutes later, which is exactly what the hostess told us. Parking was kinda hard to find around that time. Premium is $42.99, which is a bit more than other AYCE sushi spots, so it's not too bad. We ordered plenty of nigiri and appetizers. The nigiri was so good, especially the salmon and yellowtail and the rice wasn't too much. The appetizers weren't the greatest and they all felt like it came from the frozen section of a grocery store, but you don't come to an AYCE sushi spot for the appetizers. I do appreciate it's in smaller quantities so you don't fill up on them. The specialty rolls come with a full 8 pieces, so be ready to eat all of that so you don't charged for leftovers. We had it in the beginning so it doesn't feel like a chore to finish at the end. I was surprised they had Yakitori here. It was so fresh, but I wish there was an option to have it without teriyaki sauce. Our server was very helpful and came back to check on us plenty of times. It was very busy when we went and so spacious because the room is gigantic lol. Overall, I would want to come back for the sushi and maybe skip some appetizers.

Came here on a Thursday for lunch with a party of 5. The restaurant is very spacious, though they were only using about a third of the dining area at the time. We were seated promptly and all the food came out very fast. I did enjoy the handrolls as they contained a good amount of fish and wasn't loaded with rice. All the sashimi was fresh and savory. The spam musubi was definitely interesting to have on the menu, though it was just alright. One of my favorites was the mango salmon. Very refreshing and flavorful. Overall I enjoyed my first time here. All the food was good, service was quick and the lunch price ($29.99) is definitely worth it for AYCE.

One of the best AYCE sushi spots. Many options, not just sushi rolls. I feel some AYCE sushi spots have so many rolls so that you get filled up on rice and can't order anymore. Here they have many rice-free options to choose from. Parking lot is spacious. Restaurant is spacious. One thing they can improve upon is the speed at which they bring out food, but I'm sure that will get better as they just opened. Will be back!

We went to Itacho sushi for their AYCE special. Parking was slightly challenging because there are so many new restaurants and everyone want to sample the new food. We ordered the premium and this was my first time. So, apparently you have to order all of your premium choices at once prior to your regular choices. I found this slightly strange as I would have rather spaced it out. That much uni at one time was a lot. The sushi was good it comes in small bites. Try to order what you think you can eat because the place is extremely busy and it takes a while to get your sushi. I counted 8 people rolling the sushi in the back! Incredible! This place is yummy. Give it a go and have some good sushi. Let me know what you think.

I've been hearing good things about this new AYCE sushi spot, so I went in with high hopes. We showed up for lunch on a Saturday; no wait, which was a nice surprise, but there was a brief pause before we were actually seated. The restaurant is huge. Plenty of tables, and the restrooms were clean with multiple stalls. We went for the Platinum AYCE option ($42.99) What stood out: * The yellowtail, mackerel, and unagi were highlights on the sushi/sashimi side. * The baby octopus was an appetizer I enjoyed. * The chicken thigh yakitori was flavorful. * The Fried cheesecake is basically a tempura cheesecake. It felt like I was at a carnival or Del Mar fair again. * The vanilla ice cream. What didn't: * I had 2 baked mussels that weren't fresh. It threw me off for a bit... Overall, it was decent. A few standout bites, but not quite enough for me to return.

People are sometimes skeptical about these AYCE sushi places with how the quality of the sushi will be, but this place executes it pretty well. Starting price for the AYCE menu was $42.99 which actually offers a lot of options. I tried the tuna, salmon, octopus, sweet shrimp, and scallops sashimi which overall tasted relatively fresh. I also tried the salmon, tuna carpaccio and tartare which I actually might have preferred over the sashimi. The spicy tuna handroll I ordered was also generous filled with tuna instead of mostly rice. Other highlights from the menu that I ordered was the steak teppanyaki and the fried cheesecake. Overall, I had a rather enjoyable experience here.

Rating out of 5: 4 out of 5 What I ordered: I visited Itacho Sushi in San Diego with my two sisters. We ordered à la carte and tried several rolls, including the spicy salmon, spicy tuna, and salmon with cucumber, as well as a spicy salmon hand roll. For appetizers, we had raw oysters and takoyaki. The restaurant also offered complimentary items: fried oysters, miso soup, and hot and sour soup. Total cost was $68 after tax and tip. Highlights: The seafood was fresh with no off flavors, and I appreciated that the rolls were light on rice. The fried oysters were accidentally brought out instead of the raw ones we ordered, but they let us keep them free of charge and still brought out the correct item. That small gesture really stood out. The hot and sour soup, in particular, was a favorite for me. The space itself is large, clean, and modern with high ceilings that give it an open feel. While the à la carte options were good, I would consider trying their all-you-can-eat option next time, which is priced very competitively for the area. Service: Service was attentive. Someone who seemed to be the owner was actively helping serve and even personally offered us soup, which added a nice touch. My only real critique is that the menu could be a bit more descriptive. For example, I expected the spicy salmon roll to contain full slices of salmon, but it was made with minced fish instead. Overall, though, it was a great experience and I would definitely return if I find myself in San Diego again.

Brand new in Convoy area, just opened in June '25. Ambiance: very roomy, open seating, clean and modern. Service: excellent, the staff was friendly, attentive and efficient. Lunch premium AYCE at $29.99 is a very good value. Rolls: good selection, well made, fresh ingredients, smaller bite friendly sizes. Apps: all the salmon/escolar tatakis/tartare were fresh and tasted great with the sauces. Baked mussels are delicious! Nigiris: salmon, escolar, massago, spicy scallop, all good and fresh, I like the bite-size portions Dessert: the fried cheesecake were fire! crunchy tempura crust with creamy cheesecake inside. Mist order, we had like 5! A couple items that need improvement: Tonkotsu ramen tasted bland Fried calamari was soggy, cold and a portion was 2 tiny rings Mackerel was too fishy Hand roll seaweed was too soft/soggying Overall great experience, just some area for improvement. Would come back again with the fam!

I love the new layout and remodel from the previous owner. Service was great, and food came out in a timely manner. Quality was fresh, however I feel like some of the presentation/offerings could be improved. Most hand rolls come with cucumber or avocado to complement the protein, but not all rolls did so the flavor/texture fell flat. The price point and menu was a good variety. Would definitely come back in a few months to see how things are.

If you're craving for sushi and AYCE, ooo this is the spot! Great service, fish is fresh and delicious. I really liked their salmon skin salad, and they have a variety of rolls too. The restaurant is so big inside, and feels fancy too. Definitely recommend!

realest review: big easy parking plenty of space. Good service and spacious inside.The sushi rolls were mid HOWEVER the sashimi and their appetizer are really good with a lot variety for AYCE. I think that make up for the mid sushi rolls , if you like sashimi I think this spot is worth it I would def comeback.

I always get suckered into ayce sushi buffets. Seemingly such a great deal and it probably is but I always overeat! By San Diego standards, this is one of the better sushi buffets because you can actually get sushi rolls, nigiri and dishes with less fillers. The other ayce in San Diego tend to have lots of crunchies, krab, tempuras to fill you up. Here you can actually get slices for real fish. The freshest? No but really not bad especially considering it's ayce. The lunch at $29.99 was pretty good deal and I was satisfied. Probably won't be back too frequently bc I tend to overeat!

I love doing ayce! I'm glad there is more ayce places popping up here in San Diego! We came here around 5:00pm Friday night. We got seated right away. The restaurant was a little slower at that time but it picked up towards the end. Ayce dinner for platinum is $42.99 which isn't bad because they do offer sashimi. I do recommend coming here hungry to get your moneys worth. My favorite was the salmon sashimi, mango salmon, takoyaki, and the Naruto roll. I don't recommend the jumbo shrimp or baked mussels. It was just drenched in spicy mayo sauce. Service was fast and efficient! Thank you to our amazing server Ariana! I will definitely be coming back here.

Gone is the conveyor belt sushi restaurant and in is this new all-you-can-eat (AYCE) sushi spot in the Independence Square of Kearny Mesa. Itacho Sushi had its soft opening about ten days ago without much fanfare. This is one of the better lots in the Convoy District as the density of businesses in the plaza was spread out so that parking was not packed. The inside of the suite was remodeled with darker tones. The seating capacity was still huge as well over 100 customers could be comfortably seated. The kitchen preparation area had several stations along the back wall. Servers would go to each one to pick up items that were specifically prepared by certain chefs. The base menu was called Premium which cost $29.99 per adult and was offered from opening to 4 pm on weekdays. It filled up one side of the sheet with classic rolls, hand rolls, signature rolls, and nigiri. Appetizers, hibachi, salads, soups, and desserts were also included. On the reverse side was two higher tier options that were applicable after 4 pm on weekdays and all day on weekends. The Platinum was priced at $42.99 per adult while the Ultra would you set you back at $52.99 per adult. Eight different sashimi offerings, three additional nigiri choices, and two other signature rolls were a part of the Platinum. The Ultra was made up of the Premium plus Platinum, Fresh Oysters, and Wagyu, Uni, and Lobster Nigiri (limit one order each). I arrived for dinner and opted for the Platinum menu. I started with a small bowl of miso soup and then picked a Lobster Roll along with the Scallop and Unagi (eel) Nigiri. There were six pieces in the roll that were cut on the thin side. The two nigiri types contained fresh seafood and were probably my favorites of the evening. My next round featured each of the eight types of sashimi. The Albacore was unavailable and was replaced by Escolar. I felt the quality of these fishes was average at best. My final savory choices were a Spicy Scallop Hand Roll and more nigiri (Smoked Salmon, Seared Tuna). The size of the hand roll was fine, however the kitchen added panko breadcrumbs on top of the scallop. It provided an unusual texture contrast to the scallop which was unnecessary. The two nigiri were not as impressive as the first couple that I had tried. An order of vanilla cheesecake and strawberry ice cream was how I finished my meal. The cheesecake came with dollops of whipped cream with drizzled chocolate sauce. It was much better than the ice cream which was served in a prepackaged small cup. For the price of the Platinum, I would like to have seen different grades of tuna nigiri included and perhaps limited to one order each like what was done for the nigiri in the Ultra menu. The service from the waitress was quite good. They were not busy because my visit was on a late weeknight. The posted closing time was 10:30, yet it seemed like the closeout processes (e.g. clearing of table settings) were happening before 10 pm. I gave a rating between three and four stars for my dining experience at Itacho Sushi.

I was pleasantly surprised by the good flavors of the sushi. I had expected, like many ayce sushi, there is a lot more rice to make the roll look bigger. This was not the case. With any sushi, the rice is key and many places the rice is just plain and bland. It was the first thing that I noticed on the first bite, the rice was actually sushi rice. Well seasoned and good consistency. We arrived close to opening on a Friday and walked right in. We chose the premium price and we were satisfied. The server was attentive and we were conservative in our ordering. We probably should have been more prepared, but didn't want to overdo, but wanted to try different rolls and share. Regardless, there's no doubt we got our money's worth. The place was clean and tables were spread out enough that you didn't feel like you were on top of each other. It was interesting that a YouTube about the restaurant was on a constant loop on the big screen. Oddly I couldn't stop watching and looking at the different sushi rolls that I hadn't ordered yet. We will be back, just need to prepare. Our favorites, anything salmon. Spicy tuna hand roll, eel nigiri, and spicy salmon

I'm always excited for all you can eat AYCE sushi so checked out this place as soon as it opened during soft opening. Weekday lunch special menu is $30 until 4pm. Dinner & weekend menu starts at $43 for the platinum option. We went on a Thursday during lunch and appreciated that the restaurant seemed overstaffed rather than understaffed so we were attended to very often. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The interior decor looked sleek and upscale. The chairs were new with firm cushion. We ordered a lot of things to try. Hits: - fried tofu: such a soft creamy tofu compared to the usual firm tofu - smoked salmon nigiri - salmon tartar: tuna mixed with avocado Okay: - shrimp tempura: was actually panko and not tempura. We prefer tempura Misses: - spicy edamame: this was just edamame with some chili powder sprinkled on. I was hoping for them to be sautéed in a spicy garlic sauce - mango tuna and mango salmon: they're covered in sweet and sour sauce and overall are too sweet in flavor. We were not fans Everything else was solid. The fish to rice ratio was so-so. We appreciated that they offer unlimited dessert as part of the AYCE menu. That's not common. Too bad they already ran out of green tea ice cream. We would go back.

The experience was pretty underwhelming. Arrived at 12pm and it wasn't too busy. We were seated immediately but I don't think the server knew we were in her section because after 15 min I had to go ask the hostess who are server was. The selection of sushi rolls was pretty basic. All of the rolls seemed basically the same just switch out tuna for salmon. Majority of the rolls were spicy or had cream cheese. I liked the seasoned sashimi on the appetizer menu. The amazing salmon and mango salmon and tuna were delicious bit not enough to bring me back. Pro tip - pass on the ramen, the tonkatsu tasted like a chicken cup is noodles flavor pack. Drink refills were slow coming and at least 5 items never showed up. We were also overcharged a full person but it was quickly remedied.

Stumbled upon this place on social media and decided to try it out since it's a fairly new AYCE sushi restaurant. When we pulled up we saw that it replaced Mikami which was a conveyor belt style sushi spot that was sub par. I was optimistic to think that a new restaurant opening in its place would erase the bad experience of its previous ownership. Moving on to the food and experience. For an AYCE menu it was well rounded with your assortment of appetizers, hot dishes, rolls, and nigiri. After reviewing the menu we had asked our server a few questions. To our surprise he wasn't very knowledgeable about the food on the menu that he continued to have to go back and forth to the cooks to ask them. I would hope when you open a new restaurant you would train your staff to at least know what they are serving. But, we didn't hold that against him as he was very nice about it. The food is alright for an AYCE style restaurant. Nothing stood out fish was ok not the freshest but not the worst either. The rolls were nothing special but the rice ratio on the rolled wills were very good. Although the ratio for the nigiri were out of proportion. The fish is thin so much rice. Appetizers that are baked do take a while so order those first. Rolls took about 20 minutes to come out even tho there were 3 tables in the entire restaurant. Noting that there was only 3 tables there was a lot of staff on but for some reason service fell short. Lastly, ditch the fake plants/flowers on the plate, it's tacky and feels unsanitary. Overall, I hope this place can get their staff knowledge of the menu to be better as it would have given us a better experience. Food: 3/5 Service: 2/5 Ambience: 4/5 Overall: 2/5

Itacho was fine, I basically got what I wanted but there were a few things that were not fantastic. Service was great- our server was very friendly but there was some mix up between rolls and hand rolls. Even though our server repeated our order back to us, most of our rolls ended up as hand rolls. Not a huge deal but it's also not really what we asked for. Most of the nigiri was as I expected, but I was a little disappointed by the spicy scallop nigiri and the seared tuna nigiri. The spicy scallop nigiri quite literally had three pieces on it. You can see the picture attached. The seared tuna was a little scary. The color was similar to the pink of Naruto fish cakes. Looked suspicious and didn't taste fantastic. I would give this place another try in a couple months as I understand it is recently opened. Will update my review when that happens!

I went this past Monday with 3 of my buddies and left stuffed and impressed. We all got the Premium. We got nigiri and everything tasted fresh and delicious. We got appetizers, signature rolls, and 2 of my buddies got ramen. I didn't want to get too full so I stayed away from the ramen. I did get the hot and sour soup. I also got some ice cream to put the proverbial cherry on top of a very nice meal. I didn't have 1 complaint about anything I ate. I will definitely be back to the AYCE Sushi restaurant. Maybe down the road I'll try the Platinum and the Ultra.

This relatively new made-to-order AYCE sushi restaurant was a delight to dine at. While San Diego has another similar sushi restaurant we frequent often, we loved the fact that Itacho Sushi doesn't charge extra to order sashimi and is included with their normal platinum dinner price. Their dining room is very large, they have two gigantic big screen TV's which dominate their main dining area, it was very tidy and bussers collect used plates from tables pretty quickly. They don't use those paper & pencil forms to order, you just flag down your server and they punch into their tablet whatever you want and within minutes, your order gets delivered. I loved all their sashimi & Nigiri offerings, I also had their seaweed salad, deep fried cheesecake & vanilla ice cream, edamame, hot green tea, and sampled a roll or two ordered by the couple we dined with and everything we ordered was fresh & delicious. They also serve Teppanyaki, Hibachi grilled meats, and Japanese Ramen noodle soup. We can't wait to return and try other sushi rolls and hand rolls which looked very appealing.

I rarely do yelp reviews but this is one I had to do because I want people to go and enjoy this place and try it out and not be a gate keeper. I saw on IG this place opened up. Wanted to try it out but wasn't committed until I seen a vlogger post his review on them on YouTube. I usually don't take vloggers review too seriously and rather take a recommendation from someone I trust and their taste but what got me was when he said they have all you can eat sashimi. Sold! Finally went today and I must say, they're doing it different and in a good way. They didn't have the same appetizers as all the other AYCE sushi spots have. Their appetizers were different and they were really good. Yellowtail Jalapeño was one of my favorites. The pepper tuna, amazing salmon, and tuna tataki were also ones that stood out. They have some creative rolls like Sweetheart roll, Naruto roll and amazing tuna rolls were my favorite to get. Now for the sashimi, they're the only AYCE spot that does this and it didn't disappoint. I kept ordering the yellowtail, tuna, smoked salmon, surf clam, tako, and tilapia (snapper) they brought it out on a nice display. They have a whole list of sashimi but those were my go to. Service was fast and very nice and kept checking up on us to order more. Therm were helpful if we were unsure if something in the menu. Highly recommend. Please go and enjoy.

Overall I wasn't impressed , there are better AYCE sushi spots in the area (little sakana is my fav) Pros: They have ramen bowls, yakitori, and a small dessert menu (cheesecake and icecream cups) The decor Is really! Nice big area for parties Cons: Too many rolls with cream cheese, rice was extremely hard ! (Sushi is all about nice rice) fish did not taste fresh, tuna was abnormally red/not natural Rolls were not well constructed, service was not stellar

ITACHO Sushi is located in the strip mall across from ranch 99 market. This would be great for large groups of people as they have a huge dining area with tables that can be easily put together Decorations are minimal, but I guess you could consider it contemporary/ modern. Our servers name was Shayne. He was amazing! We really appreciated his candor and honesty in helping direct us to food items that he thought we would like. We opted for the Ultra $55.99 for one person and the Platinum $42.99 for the other person. That way, we could try the Ultra nigiri options. We ordered the 4pcs Wagyu, 2pcs lobster Gunkan and 2pcs Sea scallop. (I'm not a fan of Uni) they were all delicious. I would order this again. There's an extensive menu of hand rolls and signature rolls that you can order from. You can also get soups, Ramen, appetizers, yakitori, and Teppanyaki. they even have desserts! Overall, I would say, we truly liked everything that we ordered. The best thing of all is that everything was FRESH. And the staff was excellent. They're all helping each other and they're all kind and friendly.

Great for large parties and group-- so much restaurant and parking space! They also have a $30 lunch special here!! Love the appetizers and everything comes our quickly, very attentive service and clean place. Lots of options to choose from

I was surprised by the variety of options beyond just sushi rolls, including takoyaki, seaweed salad, and miso soup. The all-you-can-eat menu even has a dessert portion with cheesecake, fried cheesecake, and ice cream. My favorite item is lemon roll. The baked scallop roll is also good, but it's super rich. Our server was friendly and charismatic. We had a great time cracking jokes with her. She even checked in with my group to give us the option cancel a roll when she noticed we were slowing down (which we definitely needed). It was a nice gesture to make sure that we didn't waste food!

The food is amazing for the price that they have... for sure come lunch time cause I think it's worth it dinner is good as well but not worth getting the ultra. My husband and I got 10 rolls some appetizers and desserts for unlimited time. That to me is really worth the price. The sushi were amazing! Very consistent with how much rice there is...the only thing I didn't like is that most of the sushi had cream cheese...we did ask our server to ask the chef if they can take it out and they were kind enough to do so, we appreciated that. Our server was very nice very fast and kept checking on us which is nice. The place looks pretty big and simple gives it a nice Japanese vibe. They are new so be patient being sat down cause they do need more employees. They just did a soft opening and from the looks of it..this place will be busy. Def will come back here

It was just alright. Service could use some improvement. Our main server seemed either stressed or a bit impatient at times. We were a party of 11, so the group was split between two orders, but when the food arrived, it turned into a guessing game: "Whose roll is this?" "Wait, didn't I order that? "I think you got my order." Some of our rolls didn't show up until about 40 minutes later, even after we reminded the server. Some our food even went to other tables and they didn't realize where our missing food was until towards the end of the night. They need a better system, especially for bigger groups, to make sure that both the servers and customers aren't confused. As for the food, meh... The nigiri was packed with too much rice, though ordering them as sashimi is a good alternative. The yakitori was drowning in sauce like it had fallen into a bottle of teriyaki. And the "signature" house salad? It looked like someone just gave up halfway through--some lettuce, two tomato slices, and a dressing that tasted like melted candy. Their avocado salad was just square pieces of avocado with some shredded lettuce and zero dressing--weird. We did enjoy some of the appetizers, especially the yellowtail jalapeño and amazing salmon, which stood out. Other than that, it was just alright, but not worth the extra cost from other competing restaurants. Maybe it will improve, but for now I'd give the experience a 3 out of 5.

We came here for lunch to try this place. The restaurant is spacious with a good amount of seating. We decided not to do the all you can eat since we were not that hungry and didn't want to pay $30/person. So we ordered the salmon teriyaki, chicken teriyaki, and the lemon roll. The best thing was the lemon roll. The salmon in the teriyaki lunch was also good. The chicken was on the dry side. Everything else was okay. The spring rolls that came with the lunch were greasy as were the gyozas. My biggest problem with our order was that we ordered the brown rice with our entrees. But when they served our entrees, we saw that we got noodles instead. When we asked about it, we were told that they didn't have brown rice. So why didn't the server know this when we ordered? And when he found out, shouldn't he ask us what we wanted instead? Being gluten free, I couldn't eat the noodles and asked for the white rice which they did bring but I found that inconvenient. Anyway, overall, this place is just average. Parking is plentiful.

Blew me away! Sushi quality for the price is so well worth it! Fresh as the very high end places and the EXCELLENT SERVICE . Unique all you can eat but not a buffet - servers bring it in a very timely manner and you don't feel rushed. I hope this place stays around a long time. I use to go to Onami Buffet 16.00 all you can eat - closed after Covid. This sushi @ 30.00 no complaints.

Came here for a snack while using the a Tesla supercharger in the parking lot. New restaurant beautifully decorated. No issues with service. Food consistent with other AYCE in the area.

This was my first time at Itacho Sushi in San Diego! I ordered pretty light since it was just me! I really loved the Tonkontsu Ramen. I always order Tonkontsu Ramen whenever I am at a Japanese restaurant and Itacho did not disappoint! The broth was extremely flavorful and the egg was soft! The best part were the noodles in my opinion! I would definitely recommend ordering the Tonkotsu Ramen if you love ramen! For the rolls I ordered Itacho roll, Coronado Bridge, Kearny Mesa, and the Rainbow roll. My favorite roll was the Kearny Mesa and Rainbow! (I'm bias for Rainbow it's always a Top 3 roll for me!!) The one thing I noticed about the rolls is the fish tasted fresh and the sauces were nicely blended! I normally don't like rolls with spicy mayo but the light drizzle with eel sauce (I always eat sushi with eel sauce) was a perfect sweet and tangy mix! Also the staff are super nice and polite! Very attentive as well! Overall I think Itacho Sushi is a really cute place to have a date or self care date without breaking the bank for really fresh and tasty food! I will definitely be coming back here again! Next time I plan on trying the All You Can Eat!!

Came for the soft opening in an AYCE in the complex across from 99 ranch. The quality of sushi and sashimi is top notched. Our favorites were the marbled salmon, with the least favorite being the spider rolls and lobster roll. The nirigi rice had the right amount of seasoning and texture. The platinum tier was mid $40s per person, which we thought gave us the most value. Ended with cheesecake, ice cream and sesame balls. We'd recommend this as a great competitor to the top ACYE sushi places in San Diego!

It's been a while since I've eaten AYCE sushi, so when Itacho Sushi came onto Clairemont Mesa, our friends really wanted to go try it out! The restaurant is pretty spacious, with one large main area and another separate lower area. Plenty of space for big groups and smaller ones too. Dinner hours are past 4pm, where you only have an option between Platinum or Ultra. We got Platinum and we felt like it was a good amount of variety! The Ultra was tempting with the Uni but we opted to just try the Platinum this time. Lots of delicious appetizers and hot kitchen items alongside the sushi! We got a few teppanyaki plates and a lot of the Salmon Skin salad! As for the sushi, we enjoyed a variety of rolls, nigiri and sashimi. I liked how there was no limit to the sashimi order! I personally need rice with my fish but the rest of our group enjoyed the no limitation on the sashimi. The service was quick with every new order round we got in. A lot of other AYCE sushi spots take longer as the rounds go on. Would definitely recommend trying this new AYCE sushi spot out with friends and family!

Itacho sushi is currently in the soft opening stage. But even with that said it doesn't seem to far off the mark of being a local staple. The decor strikes a perfect balance--modern yet warm, with soft lighting, clean lines, and tasteful Japanese accents that elevate the ambiance beyond typical. The real standout, however, was the impeccable service. Our server, Sarah, was a true gem--attentive without being overbearing, always quick with a recommendation, and effortlessly friendly. Her timing was perfect, and her knowledge of the menu helped us navigate the extensive offerings with ease. This is saying a lot when trying to eat out with a 15 month old. The sushi? Fresh, generously portioned, and impressively varied. From classic rolls to more adventurous specials, every bite was crafted with care. With a wide selection of hot dishes and appetizers rounding out the menu, there's something here for every palate. Some stand outs ( outside of the sashimi which is typically all I eat) Where the chicken meat ball and my sons favorite the shrimp sumai. Only thing it was missing was some fresh wasabi to make my meal comp

My friend and I came on a Friday evening! Itacho Sushi recently opened, so we wanted to check out what they offer for AYCE sushi. The platinum menu includes the premium menu and sashimi plus a couple of other items. The service was fast and attentive. We got some appetizers like crab rangoons, baked mussels, calamari, miso soup. I suggest maximizing on the sashimi! The plating looked fantastic. They also include ice cream and cheesecake as dessert options! I felt like some of the rolls were bland or just alright. Plenty of parking options in this plaza.

All you can eat sushi lunch buffet $29. Food was good. They had a variety of rolls, appetizers, desserts, and even ramen. This place is definitely worth a try. Service 5/5 Eric was great, attentive, friendly, and helpful!

Exceptional service and really great food. Typically all you can eat has good at best more often than not sub par sushi but this was really good. Abdul was our server and was extremely attentive and made great recommendations. They even have ramen and dessert! The fried cheesecake is a game changer. Definitely plan on being a regular.
