Best Japanese Restaurants in Cardiff By The Sea

Authentic Japanese food with diverse menu. Best Japanese dining experience in San Diego, most likely. Can't wait to return for lunch also

The food was very good. The service was more than acceptable. We had a very enjoyable time and will return as we always do.

Eat here once a year for a birthday event. This last visit was absolutely the best. Great food preparation, great show, and the chef had a sense of humor.

The food and the service here is above and beyond excellent. A bit pricey, as is everywhere else. Our only discomfort was the noise level - it was difficult to carry on a conversation. But this is one of our favorite go-to places and so will return - and highly recommend it!

The food is excellent but the customer service could use a lot of improvement. For starters, the restaurant was nearly empty when we went for dinner on Halloween night, but the hostess asked us if we had reservations and then proceeded to make us wait to be seated. And even though there were three people in our party and only one other set of diners, she gave us only one menu. When we asked for more menus, she brought us only one more even though she could clearly see there were three of us. Once our food came, the waitress kept hovering around and near us, and pounced on any empty dish she saw in our table even if it meant leaning over one of us or interrupting our conversation to ask if she could clear the empty dish or pass it to her. After bringing us our check, she again hovered around and started to clean up while we were trying to box our leftovers and calculate the tip.
