    Cocktails were phenomenal! I loved that the n/a cocktail tasted as good as a real one! Food was very good. Concept was really fun. Service was great, very fast, thoughtful and totally accommodating of our toddler! Great valenitne's day dinner for all three of us! I probably would have rated the food higher if it weren't for the fact that everything we've eaten in San Diego is amazing!!

    This was the best vegan sushi we have had. The food was so worth it. We ordered the Stressed Out from the Yasai specialty and Triple Tomato and Tantan Men from the Ramen menu. Everyone liked the dish they ordered. Good experience to see sushi made by the chef behind the open counter. The indoor seating was comfortable and the ambience was lovely. We will be visiting again to try out other dishes.

    Excellent dinner as usual, highly recommend! We had the brussels sprouts, garlic edamame, and because it was cold out, hot sake and ramen (1 of us had the Classic, 2 of us had the Triple Tomato - watch out for the add-ons, they are spicy!)
