Best Asian Restaurants in Torrey Pines

I recently moved from Los Angeles so I've had incredible sushi experiences and have been lucky to befriended some of the best Sushi Chefs in Southern California. As I transition to San Diego a lot of the highly-rated Sushi places on Yelp have largely been focused on Sushi Rolls (nothing wrong with that) but personally for myself the best experience is usually the opportunity to engage the sushi chefs at the sushi bar and listen to how the sushi was prepared vs getting a tray of sushi that needs wasabi and soy sauce. To each their own but I can say that if you want a true sushi dining experience then Boto Sushi Del Mar provides that. It is a cute little restaurant and one of the longest sushi bars I've seen outside of Nobu or Roku. I had Omakasa by Chef Gary and everything was close to perfection with a variety of different dishes aside from the core Nigori sushi and some Sashmi. Each dish was delivered individually and explained how it was prepared by either the Chef or by the great staff. Enjoyed my first real exploration of Sushi in North County and will be back.

First time eating here, place was terrific!! Great food and if your interested they have a happy hour menu, we opted for entrees.

The food was absolutely delicious, expectations were exceeded.

Had a large table and ordered most of the menu Everyone enjoyed the food and our server was very nice and patient Had the place almost to ourselves and appreciated that as well

I highly recommend! Food & service were excellent. It would be nice to have the manager walk around the tables to ensure everyone is happy and things are running smoothly. One never sees the manager do this. NOTE: When you check in for your reservation, the hosts are not always familiar on how to credit your reservation under OpenTable. I had to make several phone calls to the restaurant to get my points all because the host was not familiar with the OpenTable system. This has happened to me at this restaurant several times. That being said, the restaurant is well worth a visit! Our server, John, was OUTSTANDING!
