Solid place with very good food quality and taste. A must-try! The nigiri-sushi is pretty good too Also, very cozy

Great service and wonderful food. We loved it! Not fancy or trendy - they are simply old school awesome sushi, tempura and other delights. They definitely know how to please their customers!

I’ve driven past this place several time and finally tried it and I was really impressed! Great food, great service. Def a hidden gem and I plan to go more often now that I have finally tried it! Tempura was lovely especially the shrimp and yummy spicy tuna roll! We also got the snow shell crab rolls, salmon belly, yellowtail and mackerel nigiri! Everything was great!

The food here is really good. Honestly a bit of a hidden gem. I do wish the music was more authentic but the volume of it is low enough to make this a relaxing, calm eating experience. I ordered a sashimi entrée and it didn't come with the salad, but the waitress was kind enough to bring it out once I showed her the menu. Getting a side or rice with the entrée is also a nice change from other Japanese restaurants. My one complaint may be the price, but I did order a sake that was 18 dollars alone.

For my money if you want authentic, Japanese food, Yoshino's is the place to go. I've had several of the items from the menu and enjoyed all of them. I had the Salmon Kama, it was absolutely delicious! I also had their Tempura appetizer,, it was superb. The service is nothing short of exceptional.

Delightfully polite staff and super fresh fish at a reasonable rate! Best miso soup I’ve ever had, with a complex and salty richness. The albacore and yellowtail sashimi were standouts, and the albacore tataki was well worth it. A piece of omelette nigiri made for a perfect bite to finish a meal to savor! Would absolutely return.

An old school Japanese restaurant in San Diego. Inexpensive but true quality food. It's a nice neighborhood spot tucked away but worth finding.

I very much love this place! I've come a couple of times & ordered the combination (bento) box. I've had the teriyaki chicken with both the tempura & sashimi (albacore) side. Loved them both. The tempura is really well done - great texture. The sashimi was thick, tender pieces, rather than thin slices. For the teriyaki chicken, there's a great portion & flavor. Their rice is perfect. My favorite is honestly the Miso soup. It is just wonderful! My boyfriend thought he didn't like Miso soup until he tried this one & now he wants to learn how to make it himself ha I've been both first and last for dinner seating & had nice service, it's not loud when it's full. For all the good food & the quality, this place is totally worth it!

Classic neighborhood japanese with Yama a true hidden gem of a sushi master. I've been going for years and it has always remained high quality and consistent.

This restaurant offers a great authentic Japanese food experience. We had just come from the nearby Japanese Friendship Garden Museum at Balboa Park so the craving for Japanese food was certainly present. We each got the Bento box one with Sesame Chicken and one with Teriyaki Chicken, both with tempura. Our server gave us Miso soup to start off the meal and I was taken aback by how good the Miso Soup was. I'm not usually a drinker of Miso Soup but this just changed my world. The sesame chicken was full of flavor, texture was crispy and I truly couldn't put my chopsticks down. Everything that came as a side in the bento box complimented everything so well and I felt that this was an exceptionally well-rounded meal that left me feeling full and happy. We were the 2nd party to arrive after the place had just opened and the service was genuinely pleasant. This is a family run business with Mom handling a few parties + cooking while pops artfully rolls up the sushi. The restaurant has a "traditional" feel to it. It's evident that's its been open for business for a long time while maintaining a sense of cleanliness and order flawlessly. I will certainly be back, as this place might have topped my list for amazing and authentic Japanese food.
