Meinungen SUSHI TADOKORO San Diego

Service is great and considerate . We had omakase menu, which includes various things ( nigiri sushi, sashimi, soup, desert) it's pretty much enough for me. It's worthy of the price, not surprised Michelin star rated restaurant

Food is fresh and tasty. Acceptable prices.

Better than expected, and I had high expectations!

Great food. Very authentic

Went for lunch and got the omakase, it was incredible. Expensive, but the unbelievable food and unique experience justifies the price for a special occasion. Every bite of fish was unique, fresh, and tasty. Shrimp and scallop sashimi were out of this world, same goes for the marinated tuna. Even dessert was delicious. No wonder dinner reservations are so hard to get!

Wow! Definitely a must visit in San Diego. Super fresh fish and a really cool atmosphere. Highly suggest a lunch reservation at the counter. Or any reservation at the counter so you can watch the artistry of the chefs there.

The parking lot has minimal spots available for this restaurant so leave a little time to find street parking. Also if you go on a weekend or after 5pm, you can charge your EV in the nearby caltrans parking lot and walk over (10 minute walk through beautiful old town).

Everything is very fresh and authentic. I did the omakase course and wasn’t disappointed. The place leans more toward the traditional Japanese scale

Food was good , but the value isn’t close. There are other comparable sushi restaurants at half the price.

Very good sushi for san diego.

It’s a hobby of mine to try different Michelin restaurants and this was definitely not comparable to the other one star establishments I’ve enjoyed. There was actually a piece of bone in one of my sushi bites and I have never experienced that before. I did think the Chilean Seabass was outstanding.

Very kind workers. The setting is good. We got the sashimi omakasr. The mackerel is the best I've ever had. And I loved what they did with the fried head and body. But, in terms of the other fish, I wasn't really impressed. There are much better places at this price point.

Omakase en mesa. No vale la pena. Caro. Mal servicio. No entiendo la estrella Michelin.

Excellent service, fresh fish, lovely atmosphere. Perfect place for a date night

What an authentic Japanese sushi experience. The food is so fresh and tasty! I would have to say the uni was my favorite standout dish, but everything was good.

I can somewhat see why this place has a Michelin Star, but I’m thoroughly not impressed considering the price. I get it that “you’re paying for the experience”, but I won’t return. I’ve “paid for the experience” at other Michelin Star and Recommended restaurants and didn’t break the bank for mediocre food.

Cloth napkins and non splintery chopsticks would probably add another Michelin star

In all, the sushi was of nice quality and it was a pleasurable experience. That said, this is not a restaurant at the level of a Michelin star, and certainly not an experience that I believe to be worth north of $200 per person. I have had sushi at a higher level for $100 to $200 less in the US (Nakazawa, Kasiba to name a couple), not even to mention Japan. That's not an indictment on the kind service or delicious fish, it's just simply not at a Michelin standard of restaurant, in my opinion. Michelin should be about creativity, experience, and taste. You can get great food anywhere.

The appetizers were a strong start but unfortunately one of the highlights of a 2 hour meal was the beginning. The fresh sashimi was nice but not exceptional. I noticed the tuna selections were all pretty boring throughout the meal. The grilled tuna was too tough and lacked flavor. The miso marinated chilean sea bass with ginger was undoubtedly the highlight of the meal; both were extraordinarily flavorful. The fried smelt with lemon was a nice salty and tasty snack. The nigiri selections (both fish itself and the addition of the rice) were definitely better than the sashimi options. But again, still not at the elite level of restaurants. The uni, seaweed, and trout roe over sushi rice tasted nice even if utterly predictable.

All in all it would be a 5 star experience if it were $200 instead of $420. Even locally, I enjoyed Hidden Fish in convoy much better around this price point. There was some more audacity in the menu rather than just subtle flavors and fresh fish. As a sushi lover and enthusiast, I am glad I went to see for myself. But I could not rightly suggest Sushi Tadokoro over other options.

Fun chef, and you’ll never enjoy regular sushi ever again after having such high quality dishes here

Service wasn't what it should be for the price. My tea was empty for a while. Treatment wasn't equal. Portions were small. My cost for one person was almost 400.00 with tip.

Really loved this place. Everyone at the bar got their own chef to serve them and the sushi was great. Unique dishes. A great omasake experience!

One of the best meals I have ever had. We did the 9 course omakase. I have a shellfish allergy and they were able to make alterations to accommodate me. HIGHLY recommend!

This was our splurge meal of our Southern California trip. We did omakase at the bar and our sushi chef was fun and a well-skilled. However, I was a little bit ill and couldn't enjoy myself fully. I'm not sure if it was my illness or what, but it also wasn't the best omakase we've had in terms of taste. My biggest regret is not ordering the homemade dessert. I misheard the chef and thought all of the dessert was homemade and ordered the ice cream. We have to go back for a re-do!

Best sushi in SD.

Sushi Tadokoro is a pretty good sushi spot but not an amazing one. They had interesting fish choices but for the price there are better omakase spots to go to. Also the chairs were really uncomfortable

As a Michelin starred restaurant, our expectations are high! I would say, the experience was great! We love most of the food. The chef, who was making most of the food, was right in front us, explained all the food to us. Our of so many great food we ate, the clear fish soup wowed me the most. We had a good time!

De passage à San Diego, on a mangé au sushi tadokoro. La cuisine du chef nous a plu. Savoureuse!
