The Best Sushi Restaurants in San Diego | Eater San Diego

"Another disciple of Sushi Ota runs this small sushi bar near the train tracks on the edge of Little Italy. The “kappo” in the restaurant’s name refers to skill not just in cutting fish and making sushi but also a mastery of other cooking techniques, from grilling and steaming to frying and simmering, all part of a well-balanced omakase menu. Sashimi combination plates include a mix of toro, salmon belly, yellowtail belly, and tuna, while entrees include a $15 chicken teriyaki plate and a $24 salmon teriyaki." - Roxana Becerril

Service is generally solid. The staff is super friendly attentive and most are very knowledgeable. I prefer the sushi bar over the tables for the atmosphere— but to each their own. The food is solid. They don’t have a traditional Omakase unless you reserve over a week in advance and state that’s what you want but they will do a mini omakase of nigiri only on same day if requested. The sushi / sashimi is too notch here. It’s definitely in my regular rotation of rest. Worth checking out if you’re visiting or live here.

Great little sushi bar, very active even on a Wednesday night. It struck me as more for locals and will not be found by the typical tourist. Everything was very fresh but the prices are way more than where I live in Florida. I do have to say that they're speaking Japanese. Very unusual for a sushi bar these days! Domo arigato!!

Everything was a 10/10 experience. The sushi was the most authentic I’ve had here in the States, and the staff was so kind and attentive. The fish quality was excellent as well—could have eaten their entire menu!

Had an amazing experience! Made a reservation for when they opened and was given the option for seating, chose the bar and had the best view in the place. The service was PHENOMENAL. And every item ordered was delicious. Tried the hamachi despite not liking sashimi and it was excellent, definitely recommend.

We just moved to Little Italy area and we’re recommended Shino as the best local sushi spot. We went for dinner this past Saturday and I now understand why it was highly recommended! The sushi was incredible, the staff was quick and on point, and it was the best little spot for a great date night! We will be back and highly recommend for anyone looking for the best sushi joint in little Italy!

My partner and I sat at the bar right in front of the sushi chefs! Highly recommend. Spent $110 after tax and tip. Ordered the Hamachi Jalapeño + Kitchen Sink + Toro Toro.

We had an incredible dining experience at Shino Sushi + Kappo! The highlight of the meal was definitely the fatty toro — it was buttery, rich, and absolutely melted in our mouths. Every dish we tried was beautifully prepared and packed with flavor. Overall, the food is a solid 10/10, and the service was attentive and friendly without being intrusive. The chefs clearly care about both the quality and presentation of their dishes. This is a spot I’d highly recommend to any sushi lover. Just be sure to make a reservation in advance — it’s a popular place and for good reason!

First time here. Service was great. They have wide range of sushi and sashimi selection. I would say the food definitely didn’t disappoint. The sushi was fresh and the sake was great. It’s little bit overpriced but what isnt. Would come back again to try the rest of the sushi on the list.

Shino Sushi + Kappo really impressed me--super fresh fish, beautiful presentation, and a calm, intimate vibe. You can tell everything is made with care, and the quality is top tier. We made reservations just a day ahead, and it filled up fast--definitely a popular spot! Next time, I'd love to sit at the counter to watch the chefs in action. Every dish that came to our table felt special and thoughtfully prepared. The uni and seasonal sashimi were definite standouts! Lots of umami with every bite/sip. Service was friendly and very attentive. The whole experience felt relaxed yet elevated--perfect for date night or catching up with friends over excellent sushi and a solid sake selection, all without the trendy hype. I'll absolutely be back!

The food was delicious!! I loved the nigiri & the toro toro roll. I've never had a roll like the toro toro before! The combination of the toro, truffle oil and pickled radish was just perfect! And I loved the Kobe beef nigiri! The service was pretty slow. When we got seated, they asked if we could finish within 45 mins for the next reservation & we said yes. The rolls took more than 30 mins to come out. So we did our best to finish quickly. The vibe of the restaurant is dimmed lights, dark inside to have this romantic feel. They were playing EDM music kind of loud!

Have been here a few times- made reservations the day before for 6pm on a weekend and have not had any problems. The sushi here is very fresh! We've gotten a variety of things each time, but we always always get the toro toro roll ($29)! It's a bit expensive for a roll but soooo good and so worth it! There is plentiful negitoro and the crispy garlic pieces are so good. The tuna don ($32) has a lot of tuna pieces and comes with miso soup which is nice. We've also gotten several of the sashimi combos and those were also very good. We also usually get a bottle of sake and the prices are reasonable in my opinion. Overall, service is always very good and we always leave satisfied.

I was in town for work and found this place near my hotel. Sadly, this restaurant served me the worst sushi I've ever eaten in my entire life. I never thought I would ever describe sushi as DRY, but that's exactly what it was. Horribly dry and seriously lacking in flavor. Would not recommend this place at all.

Great sushi spot we found while staying in San Diego. The sushi was good and service was great. Staff were friendly and attentive. The restaurant has a large sushi bar area and ample seating, but outside area. We ordered some appetizers, Agedashi tofu, Gyoza, and Seaweed salad. They were all good, but especially liked the tofu with its lightly crisped skin, soft texture and sauce. We ordered the Albacore, Spider, Rainbow, Caterpillar, and Heat wave rolls. All were fresh and sushi size was very good. Overall, a great experience. Happy Nom Nom!

I've only been here twice and the first time I came was not impressed but last night, everything was absolutely amazing! We sat at the sushi bar right in front of Tom, who is awesome and so sweet and he prepared some of the most amazing sashimi and nigiri's For us. Sitting at the sushi bar is my favorite and I highly recommend this for anyone who enjoys the interaction with the chef. We started with the jalapeño Hamachi and also had the Toro Toro roll, salmon nigiri, the spicy Hamachi roll, and ended off with the fatty o-toro roll which is the belly/fattiest part of toro. WOW so amazing and everything melted in our mouthes! The quality of the fish here is unmatched. So fresh and so delicious.

Loved this place. The salmon nigiri was spot-on. Super fresh and had that melt-in-your-mouth quality that makes you really want to savor each bite. The agedashi tofu did not disappoint either. The interior space is cool and artsy. Love the modern vibe alongside the sushi bar.

This is hands down my all-time favorite sushi spot! I've had sushi in Japan, at Nobu, and in various other cities, but nothing tops this place for me. I've celebrated birthdays and anniversaries here, and the food is always incredibly fresh. The staff is also consistently warm and welcoming.

Walked in and found a seat at the bar. The staff was very professional and attentive. Sushi chefs were not playing around. The Verry Belly Belly Sashimi was wonderful. The roll did not disappoint. Great little date spot.... I will be back.

Shino is a nice atmosphere, excellent service, and tasty sushi. A bit hard to find - the front door is exactly adjacent to the train tracks.

Fun spot! We made a reservation for 4 and got a nice corner table in the 2nd dining room. Our server was fantastic and provided us some of her fav's and gave us the scoop on the saki selection. We had everything from starters, to rolls to sashimi and even a roll that wasn't on the menu. Top quality sushi and priced well within the expected for SD. I mean you're right next to the ocean :) I was so hypnotized by the sushi I only took a few pics.

Small cozy sushi spot with big menu, yummy sake, and nice staff! Was not my absolute favorite sushi in the world, but was very solid and fresh. I've only been once and would go back and order some more variety of rolls as it felt like the few things we ordered all tasted fairly similar. Definitely worth trying if you want a no frills, fresh, simple sushi spot

I'll start by saying this place ranks in my top five sushi bars. I'm visiting San Diego for work and Shino is just around the corner from my hotel. They are definitely more upscale than your average "hole in the wall" sushi bar you might find in San Francisco or the like. First impression was it was obvious the restaurant owner(s), chefs, and staff care about the experience patrons have in their establishment. The environment was modern but classy. It was easy to get an intimate feel in the place, even at the sushi bar. The wait staff was meticulous and on point. I loved how attentive to traditions they were as well. Our server, Trinity, didn't just make sure waters were filled and plates were cleared in a timely manner, she made sure to pour the sake every time there was an empty cup (In Japanese tradition it is bad luck to pour your own sake). I've had wait staff pour the first cup in restaurants before, but not every single one. Keith (our sushi chef) was great. He was quick with the knife, but had some of the best cuts I've seen with sushi and sashimi. And quality was the best I've had since the last hole in the wall I found on a trip to S.F. Three years ago. Every piece melted in your mouth. It doesn't matter what you are in town for, if you love sushi and find yourself in downtown San Diego for the night, you have to spend your money at Shino. 100% worth the cost.

Right around the corner from where we're staying this weekend .. definitely make a reservation since it does get crowded. Service was fenomenal and all the recommendations were on point, all the nigiri we ordered was fresh and the rolls specially the toro with truffle oil super tasty. There was a party sitting at the bar very loud and drunk and it made it kind of hard to enjoy the music and conversation since the place is on the small side. Again prices in downtown San Diego are high so around $200 is pretty much the norm.

The kitchen sink is one of the best rolls in San Diego. Every bite is so fresh and packed with flavor. The rest of our order was great too, but this one has stuck with me since our visit. After leaving the museum of contemporary art on a Saturday we wanted to walk somewhere for dinner. We didn't have reservations during peak dinner time so I didn't have my expectations high. I'm so thankful I called Shino sushi, I didn't think there was any way they would have a table, but they managed to get us in! I'd recommend making a reservation if you can though. Service was great. Food was great. I was a little bummed I saw other tables around us get thank you mochi at the end of our meal and we didn't. A trip to salt & straw after satisfied that craving

This is my first time visiting Shino Sushi! The restaurant looks very cool and a nice vibe but the food is mediocre. Ambiance: There is a ton of seating and essentially two stories of different tables. There is dimmer lighting with a louder noise level. The server was decent, she had a lot of tables to manage so we can't blame her. Crunchy salmon roll: I honestly did not really like this roll. I had better from other restaurants. The crunch was just too overpowering. There was not enough eel sauce. I feel like I was mainly eating tempura flakes rather than a salmon roll.

Best sushi in San Diego by far! The service is great! They make you feel like you're family by remembering you after a few visits. You can dress up or be casual and watch whatever sporting event is on. It's got a hole in the wall feel with truly the freshest fish next to Hawaii. If I'm not there weekly someone please check on me!

AVOID!! AVOID!! AVOID!! Decided to give this place a try. The quality is not good. The prices are high for the level of quality fish they serve.We were a party of 4 and ordered a lot of sushi the total bill was 450.00. That is overpriced for the quality you receive. Also if you ask for soy sauce they will not leave a bottle at your table like any other sushi bar you have to continually ask the waiter to refill your small dish(Ridiculous) we will not be back. If you want better quality and better service try Hane Sushi or Ken sushi.

Shino is the absolute best sushi place I've ever been to! They have a wonderful selection, with fresh ingredients and wonderful service! The ambiance is nice, with a wonderful atmosphere that was both lively yet peaceful. When living in San Diego, we went at least once a month. We have moved to the East Coast now and miss it SO much! I am not a big fan of fish in general (though I enjoy other seafood), but even I enjoyed their Bluefin Otoro Tuna, which is honestly shocking. It literally melts in your mouth! Our other favorite dishes were the Crunchy Shrimp Tempura Roll, the California Roll with real crab (which is getting harder to find nowadays!), and the Eel Nigiri. Their miso soup was also wonderful, and funnily enough one of our favorite things to get there was the simple green salad with yuzu dressing. We've even tried to recreate the dressing it was so unique and tasty! I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to any seafood or sushi lovers!

This is beyond one of my favorite sushi experiences. Very quick service (we were only there for 40 minutes) and such quality food. They brought out the rolls one by one as they were ready, and out of the 5 rolls we ordered, all of them were fantastic! I'd highly recommend the Del Mar, crunchy salmon, heat wave (fyi it's super spicy), and Diego. Would absolutely eat here again!

We made a reservation last night for dinner. The place was quiet and a little of the dark side. We were sat immediately, and our server came to drop off waters and fill our shoyu dishes. We ordered the Midori and it was super good. Not super super sweet. We ordered the yellowtail Kama for a starter. It was really good, we needed more ponzu though. Very crispy on the outside and flavorful on the inside. For our entrees, we ordered the threesome roll, the kitchen sink roll, the surf clam sushi, tuna sushi, the mackerel sushi and a yellowtail cucumber hand roll. They call nigiri "sushi." The rolls were delicious. The only sushi that wasn't our favorite was the mackerel, it was on the drier side. I would go back!! The menu seems very basic but it's so good.

Great sushi spot close to Waterfront Park. Made a dinner reservation two days previous via phone. The sushi was delicious, and very fresh. Highly recommend the Very Belly Belly sashimi combo, which comes with 2 chu toro, 3 salmon belly, and 3 yellowtail belly - melt-in-your-mouth good! Also tried the fatty toro and unagi sushi. The chu toro was surprisingly better than the o toro, but the unagi was perfection. I would love to come back and try the omakase dinner! My only suggestion is to add a way to book reservations online.

The good : was the food, and service . The waiter is very "attentive" and they are very soft spoken . Just plain nice . The atmosphere , amazing. Ambiance was okay. It wasn't the best for us. Made reservations for 4 @ 530 sharp. We were seated right away. Informed waiter that my son and I wanted the Omakase experience . Of course , waiter has to ask the chef. Came back, he said it was okay. And off we go. Wife and my other son ordered their very own dish . For the omakase , off we go. We received the very first dish, it was amazing . Waited for the second , it was nice . And then we had to wait for the 3rd for a little bit , and then the 4th for another while , and then another while. And then I finally said , give us the check , we are leaving . In short , food and service are nice , but chef was busy and he probably have forgotten us. I can't tell. But maybe that was the way it was suppose to be done ? I do know that , hostess and waiter were looking over at our table and they do know that we were waiting for food. I give a 3 star because of the flow. It wasn't as nice . I should have just ordered regular sushi off of the menu . What an idiot I am . I can't say that I will come back but I will say , if I do ; I will order food off of the menu . Thank you for reading this.

Fresh sashimi! I loved all things tuna at this spot. Tonight was sushi for convenience as it was up the block from Waterfront Park. The crowd appeared to be regulars from the high-rise apartments surrounding the bay. Everyone was dressed very casual. Not what I would choose for a date night as it can get loud with the patrons feeling right at home. Quality over quantity here. It will easily burn a hole in your pocket. The tako was a teeny bit chewy, but I liked the sashimi so much I had the chopped toro for "dessert." They have two dining room sections. The menu is fairly purist with traditional sushi options and a small teriyaki section.

The rolls were okay but the reason it only gets a 2 is because the parking really sucks. There literally is no where to park and you can park in a lot for $25. The place is really small and the menu does not have a big selection. The Toro Toro was not worth the price and had a weird taste to it. The Kitchen Sink roll was good and the Threesome roll probably had the most flavor. However, the garlic edamame was amazing. I think that was the best part of this dinner.

We will be back and highly recommend for anyone looking for the best sushi joint in little Italy!

My boy friend made a reservation here for our date. I believe they only take reservations over the phone. We were given the option to sit at the table or sushi bar. We opted for the sushi bar which was a smart move because it felt more intimate and we got to interact a bit with the chef. Our game plan was to order a bunch of nigiri to try and get more of the ones we liked most. Also got the kitchen sink roll and that was good but nothing spectacular. Also not a roll type of girl, I typically prefer getting nigiri. I love all types of belly and this place did not disappoint with their salmon belly and yellow tail belly, soooo fresh and literally melts in your mouth!

First let me say I love sushi and will travel for good sushi if needed. I originally had reservations at a different restaurant but they closed due to an employee having Covid but they recommended I come here so I can still get an omakase dinner. I must say this place was phenomenal! It's a nice small restaurant and not much to look at from the outside but once you enter they provide outstanding service. Throughout dinner my cup never got past half full, they were always attentive to our needs but never overwhelming, a perfect balance. I dropped a chopstick once and right away before I could bend down to pick it up they had a new set for me to use and took the old ones. At one point I used my hands to assist with part of the meal and they had a wet cloth to wipe my hands with which was completely unexpected but very welcoming! The food - wow! This has to be some of the freshest and best tasting fish I have ever had and I have had lots of sushi! The way the chef would pair a piece of fish with a sauce to compliment it was fantastic and never overpowered the fish itself. The amount of fish to price ratio was spot on, we definitely feel as though we got more than we paid for and it was 100% worth it! I will absolutely be coming back!

Shino Sushi + Kappo is a nice little sushi spot tucked away near the Embarcadero/ south of Little Italy. I honestly wouldn't have known it was there until my gf made reservations to go check it out. Needless to say, another great sushi restaurant on our list of awesome SD Japanese cuisine. For our appetizers we got the sautéed mushroom, tofu, and roasted duck. The roasted duck was the wildcard for us, and we definitely ordered it because we were starving lol. No regrets because it was delicious. Thin slices of duck, with an awesome spicy mustard that reminded me of a wasabi variant. Tofu was soft and delicious basted in the soup/sauce it came in! For rolls we got pretty much all things toro. We LOVE toro. And glad they had different kinds of toro here. We got the Toro Toro and the Crunchy Salmon roll. Who would have thought crispy onion would compliment toro so well? It was amazing. And the crunchy salmon was definitely everything else I was craving with salmon and shrimp tempura. Curious about the Kitchen Sink roll but will have to try that on a future visit! Staff was very welcoming upon arrival. Seems like many people deserve around dinner time or order for pick up. Our server was the nicest lady who recommended us her favorite dishes with such enthusiasm and always asked how we liked our food after giving it a taste. Always gotta love servers like that. You can tell she was genuine and I appreciate that in a sit down restaurant setting. Didn't catch her name because on the receipt it just said "trainee." ): But her service and the delicious seafood made for a great visit!

I honestly wasn't a fan of this place at all. I ordered to go and got the tuna crunchy rice app, the kitchen sink roll and the crab roll. The rice in the app was dry, the kitchen sink roll was just okay and the deep fried crab roll was nothing to write home about. This restaurant is also in a very odd location with very minimal parking.

Great quality fish and I'm a sushi snob. Get the negitoro and thank me (them) later. The outside is unassuming but I love places like that because their passion/attention goes to the food.
