Ebisu Sushi Bar

This is one of my go-to sushi spots. It's not the cheapest sushi in Hillcrest, but like everything else in life, you get what you pay for, and Ebisu is more than worth a little more $$$. My last visit, they even graciously accommodated my friend's gluten allergy. There was only one roll we asked for that they couldn't make gluten free. If you're drinking,I highly recommend the Saketini! It's a mix of sake, mojito, and martini.

Great experience. Came with a group of 6 friends late on Sunday night. Server was very friendly and attentive. We ordered a wide variety of food and enjoyed all the sake, sushi, and poke. Everything was a hit. It was my cousin's birthday and his first time trying Japanese food in general but Rave was super informative and helpful as he picked through menu items then brought out a banana tempora and coconut ice cream plate at the end. Moderately priced with a modern Japanese ambiance, I would absolutely recommend this spot for anyone looking for fresh, high quality Japanese food in the Hillcrest/North Park area in San Diego.

Great atmosphere. Not a place to go if you like traditional Japan style setting. But the staff was wonderful and prompt. The plum wine was very tasty, and it was provably some of the best miso soup I've ever had. 5 stars. The only thing I'd recommend to the chef is adding that tiny little bit of wasabi to the nigiri, like you would find traditionally with nigiri.
