Food and service are so much better than anyplace else around, and the atmosphere is cozy and inviting rather than just feeling like fast food sushi.

The food is amazing. I would only say that cleanliness can be improved upon. Our waiter was amazing but his clothes were dirty. His pants had food stains on it and we were there right when it opened and were the first customers which tells me they came to work with dirty clothes. He was amazing at his job though. Recommended rolls based on what we told him we liked and they were right on. Definitely recommend.

Watered-down food, bad service. Food took forever (40+min). If you like school cafeteria salad, that’s exactly what you will get here with a side of rudeness.

Been coming here for decades. Grew up in RB and even after moving to Carlsbad, Vista and Temecula we still come back. We enjoy the welcoming smiles and have continued to sit with Hiro. We don’t order, Hiro knows us that well, even pushing us to be adventurous with some new items here and there. True RB gem.

Can't believe this is my first time here as this Japanese sushi restaurant has been here forever! They have great dinner combination platters that come with soup, salad and rice. The service is very polite and sushi is reasonably good for the price. We all had teriyaki chicken combos with tempura, sushi, or rolls. Plenty of food and you won't go away hungry! advice call for reservations as the line could be long for seating.

Hiro is the best sushi chef in San Diego. We have been coming here for years. The sushi bar is always packed with regulars, not only locals but people from all over San Diego. This is our go to sushi without a doubt and no one else
