| Reviews: | " The Sushi Bar Nippon restaurant in San Diego´s Gaslamp district is the closest thing to going back to Japan. The fish is flown in from Japan, and hand picked at the fish market by the chef. It is small and very Japanese on the inside. You can find the menu in both Japanese and English, and you will always find visitors from Japan enjoying the tastes of home away from home. I love this restaurant and visit it at least once a month. The fish is extremly fresh, especially the ama ebi (sweet shrimp) which is still moving when it´s served. For a ´real´ sushi experience, this is the place to go in San Diego since 1983." |

| | "We didn't find this restaurant to be as good as the one review states. While the sushi was
okay, it wasn't super-fresh. The people were friendly and the plates & walls were interesting to
look at, we didn't think food was worth the price.

| | "This restaurant was wonderful. Sushi Chef Akira was quick and made wonderful food. The
atmosphere was very inviting and our waitress Kaori was very attentive. We got smiles from the
time we walked in until we left. We tried everything. Unfortunately they did not have fresh/live
raw shimp sushi that night like the first review had stated that they had tried. Otherwise the fish
was fresh and the portions were decent sized. I would come back for sushi the next time I'm in San
Diego.

| | "Nippon is one of the best Sushi Bars in San Diego. I am a chef and I love to eat
out, trying different types of cuisines. I've tried other Sushi Bars, but I really like the
service I received at Nippon. After eating at Nippon I am hook on Sushi. The chefs there are very
helpful and knowledgeable of sushi.

| | "I've been going to Nippon since well before Downtown was hip & trendy (or even safe for that matter!) and the quality & service has NEVER wavered. Always top notch! The sushi chefs/owners Akira & Nao have been the same the whole time ensuring that the quality is nothing but the very best. And they take the time to get to know their customers, especially if they start to recognize you.
Truly a wonderful restaurant that offers a great atmosphere and a fantastic location!

| Reviews: | "I would suggest Sushi Ota in San Diego as a restaurant listed in your guide. Chef Ota personally served me at the Sushi bar on a recent visit and it was excellent and the specials were both different and wonderful." |

| | "Sushi Ota is one of my favorites in San Diego. Reservations are recommended because it´s always crowded." |

| | " I am still a newcomer to the Sushi scene, but I have to say that Sushi Ota has made me into a true believer. I think I could become addicted to the stuff! I had first heard of this place from an old girlfriend, who actually first introduced me to sushi, and a group of friends were planning a dinner so I decided to join in. We started with some Tuna sashimi that was phenomenal! I ordered a sashimi combo special, and my friends (knowing more than I do) ordered a variety of sushi and rolls. The Soft Shell Crab Roll was especially good, as was the Calamari Roll that accompanied my sashimi combo. Everything just seemed to melt in your mouth. The House Sake was also very good. We finished with more Tuna sashimi and I ordered a Spicy Tuna Roll that was the capper to a terrific experience. I will return and bring my friends soon!" |

| | "This is a great place with the best sushi, excellent service, and a nice
semi-formal to casual dining experience. My boyfriend and I go there often at least once a month
because we love their grilled salmon handrolls, hamachi, tuna, freshest of the fresh shrimp, and
green tea ice cream. They also know what we will order before we even sit down. Luckily, my
boyfriend can afford it because he works with his father's company ARMA Design.
