Ikiru Sushi

Pan fried gyoza , chicken katsu , chicken yakisoba , ahi poke are all outstanding. The miso soup was amazing...usually an afterthought at other places. We will be back for the ramen !

This is the best sushi place we visited for a while. Amazed by the quality of seafood in San Diego. Fatty tuna , white tuna , salmon , shrimp , everything is great.

Very fresh seafood . Giant amaebi prawns that were still alive! Fresh live uni as well ????????

Amazing sushi ! I would say it has one of the best rolls I've tried! Spicy tuna is awesome!

the ultimate crab roll and the mango albacore is really delicious. the fish is also really good quality, something rare with budget conscious sushi joints !

Get yourself some live Amaebi (sweet shrimp )

You have to taste the fresh wasabi ! I can eat that all day!

Get their lobster sashimi ! It's literally as fresh as it can get (right out of the tank)

If you can, sit at the sushi bar . If available, order the uni and otoro. Oh and make reservations -- it's a small place.

shoyu ramen is smoky and black sesame ice cream is tasty

Great little joint- no-fuss service, no overly complicated menu (they'll make what you want), good prices.

Try the Tuna Blossom! It's delicious!

The best sushi ever! Rolls are huge and the price is amazing!!!

Gluten free soy sauce on stock and they serve real crab .

Legit Japanese.

Salmon skin salad is awesome - so many different slacked!

Try the poke boat - it is delicious!

Oh so fresh!

Protein roll and NTC are the best!

Skip to go. 30 minute wait for 2 special rolls , gyoza & edamame . I've eaten here tons of times but may not be back. Too slow here.

pretty decent
