I came here for a weekend dinner with a group. We didn't really have to wait to be seated and got to sit outside, which was really nice. A few of my favorites were the salmon belly, spicy salmon hand roll, furikake fries, unagi, and the salmon ponzu. Everything here tasted fresh and was delicious. It is 38.99 per person and an extra 12.99 for just nigiri. I believe everyone at the table has to get the same thing. The appetizers and sushi were good quality. Our server was really awesome and attentive to our table's needs! The restaurant is clean and very lively at night time.

For all the gastric bypass peeps out there, I did have my "kids menu" card, but the manager did not approve any discounts towards my bill. I've come various times with my family and I always wish I can try various things, but am unable to without paying at least $40 ((ayce)) weekend/weekday price. Today, I decided to splurge. I'll be honest, they did allow me to take my time (it did not exceed 2hrs). I never felt rushed, which I really appreciated. I was able to try different items and I left very satisfied. I may not have had as many items as I wanted, but it was definitely a fun experience. Standouts: *Ex boyfriend (no rice) *Salmon skin/shishito peppers appetizer *Salmon nigiri (I would take off 3/4 of rice and they never said anything) *Lotus roll (delicious, but only ate 2 pcs) *Salmon skin hand roll (hubby suggested it- he does not have gbp) Overall, good splurge. Love their sushi, but would visit more if we had a discount. Hence, 4 stars instead of 5

Every experience at Little Sakana is incredible. They have such fresh fish and they keep it coming! They always have specials on chef creations that make me drool! The staff is incredibly friendly, and they definitely remember me and my groups. Little Sakana is never a bad choice!

Bravo to the staff, I am seriously so impressed. For a restaurant that is so high volume they have their system down. I'm tempted to give five stars because of the service alone, but if we're being honest the fish quality is so-so. I'm still going to eat it of course!! Obviously the wait can be long. Just manage your expectations and you'll have a great time. Don't forget to tip well, AYCE is no joke.

BEST AYCE SUSHI IN SAN DIEGO! Came here right before opening on Sunday 12PM, and there was already a line! Both indoor & outdoor seating with small TVs playing sports in the background. The service is very fast compared to other AYCE sushi spots where you normally get full while waiting too long for your next round. Order verbally with your server rather than on paper, so be sure to ASK ABOUT THE CHEF SPECIAL FOR THE DAY! And max out on those! Fish-to-rice ratio isn't the best, BUT they have the BEST FISH QUALITY - FRESH BEYOND your AYCE expectations. Favorites: - Nigiri: salmon belly (chef special), salmon, tuna, yellowtail - Handrolls: salmon skin, spicy scallop - Rolls: Lotus Flower, Ninja (I love how they have half 4pc options now)

First time here and got the lunch AYCE $30.99 menu and was pleased to see the fish quality was pretty good. Unfortunately to get AYCE nigiri added, it will be additional $12.99. Although fresh, the rice portion feels out of control. It is a huge portion of rice underneath and I understand the reason behind having rice, but to avoid more waste I think half the rice portion would be more fair. Service was good and averagely fast. We never had to wait too long for our order to come out. Ambiance is fresh and clean. it feels like a newer restaurant with how it looks inside. Very spacious as well!

Marcella was our server and provided us with excellent service. As slammed as the night was she allowed us to take our time and did not rush us out of our seats. Thank you little sakana for a phenomenal experience.

4.5 stars Quick service and great as an AYCE sushi option in San Diego. Food was fresh, service was good Line gets long quickly even at opening time at noon I liked the jalapeño yellowtail

Absolutely love this sushi spot it's my second time here I've done dinner and lunch AYCE sushi and the quality is AMAZING! I lived in Japan for 3 years so my sushi standards are high I didn't think I would find a place close to it. Man was I wrong, this place is so fresh and delicious, we had a wait for dinner and got seated quickly for lunch. Plenty of parking and place is huge. Definitely recommend and can't wait to return. Worth every penny!
