I was craving some sushi & found this spot awhile ago while I was in Del Mar. They have one heck of a happy hour menu. Some of the popular dishes are $5! I wanted to try some veggie items along with some fish / chicken dishes & they had a wide range of options.
I got the veggie gyoza to start. Very good. The veggie inside was a bit bland but the actual wonton was delicious. Add some hot sauce and it was just fine! The chicken was perfectly cooked & tasted great. The yellowtail with jalapeño was fresh. Would definitely order this again when I come back! The seaweed salad & smashed cucumbers were SO GOOD. I cleared every plate here real quickly lol.
I got mochi for dessert, you get 2 for $6. The strawberry & mango are so yummy. The mango was definitely my favorite!
You really can't go wrong with a delicious spot with great prices & services. They also have a view of the beach from the outside seating! So it's all around a great spot for your next dinner :)
I stopped by some Shimbashi Izakaya for a beer and sushi after work today.
Parking was super easy as it was mid week, and I easily got a table. During summer and weekends, it’s almost impossible to find parking and makes it harder to get to the restaurant.
The sushi was really delicious, and tasted very fresh, they also had ice cold beer. The sushi rolls were OK.
There’s some good prices from 5 to 6 PM for happy hour, and have a large selection of sushi and appetizers and rolls to choose from.
So nice to try this Japanese restaurant out in Del Mar. This place has an amazing ocean view. It is really really popular. I have to say the service is extremely slow, that makes me almost give a 4 star, but I can tell they really need more staffs. The waitress is nice, she really tried hard to make everyone has service. But it is super slow…. We waited over 30 minutes to place our food order. Gladly the foods came to our table not too slow. And all the foods are very delicious. I love their menu, you can get almost anything that you want from a Japanese restaurant, even including sukiyaki hotpot and grilled beef tongue. I was craving for cold soba noodles, and I enjoyed my food. I just hope they can hire more staffs soon.
Outstanding tasting, high quality Japanese fare. The hot dishes have just the right amount of flavor and the sushi choices are a nice change of pace from the usual fare. Try the ankimo, the eggplant and the Agadashi tofu. And then have a selection of sushi and/or hot food. Yum!
Wonderful service. Delicious nigiri sushi. Soup was included and it also deserves mention because it was very tasty, more so than most.
