👍👍 Ordered roll combo B, ex-girlfriend roll and rainbow roll for $22. Take out orders from other sushi restaurants don’t typically include miso soup, but I received both the miso soup and a side of salad. Rolls were chunky and yummy! I asked for extra ginger, not realizing they already give you a lot...

Harmony Cuisine 2B1
Sushi restaurant
👍👍 Okay, so this is likely the best sushi and fusion Japanese food in San Diego. They are new, and not yet too crowded - but make your reservations now, because once the word gets out, they will be booked for several months. The sushi is fresh, the fusion cuisine is stunningly excellent.

Catering food and drink supplier
👍👍 Hands down the best sushi I have ever had in my life. Every single dish we ordered was INCREDIBLE and the prices are hard to beat for SD. This is truly a hidden gem. They make their own eel sauce and it takes 10 hours to make. Every detail was perfect. I’d rate it 6/5 if I could. That one person who...

👍👍 This place lives up to the 4.8 rating. It's a small little place but the ramen is good and so is the service. The fried avocado was also great. I saw someone order the milky green tea, I think I might go back just to try it

Vegan restaurant
😠 I will start off by saying that the food here is so good. However, it’s very unfortunate, because I will not recommend a place that is actively harming it’s community. The owner blatantly supports anti-mask and anti-vaxx movements (I.e San Diego Say No) If you are weary about going out to places tha...
