Boto Sushi - San Diego

Restaurant with great service, one of the best Sushi in the region, family atmosphere and kids friendly. My favorite Japanese restaurant.

They serve tap water to customers; I even can taste the pipe. We ordered the Chirashi Don, and the taste was just okay. I could not accept they added sesame oil to sushi rice. The oil covered the freshness of the sashimi.

The restaurant is nice, however we were greeted by an overwhelming smell of “spray and wipe” an hour before closing. They were most likely cleaning all the tables at that time. Everyone was friendly and the atmosphere was nice. It was very hard to find any sushi on the menu without crab meat. The imitation crab overtook the taste of every roll we ordered and they pretty much all tasted the same. Ended up enjoying the one roll with salmon and avocado the most, which was almost the only roll we found without crab meat. The cheap imitation crab meat (mixed with mayo) was the largest part of the rolls regardless of price. We couldn’t really find options without it. I would not recommend this restaurant for sushi, perhaps something else on the menu. I had to give it three stars regardless of friendly service because every single sushi is imitation crab based, about 50% of the roll.

Great service. The food is just average, nothing original or outstandingly delicious. Bland flavors and presentation. Rolls are small and pricey. Did try several things but nothing was impressive. Green tea was very good though.

The food is amazing so good but when you enter the restraunt you get a weird fishy smell but eventually
