Cottage Cafe Garden Grill

I would rate this restaurant as 5+ star. Normally, if the food is tasty and the service is good, I’ll rate 5 star. However, this place has another amazing thing: the gods serving speed is super fast! Normally for sushi place, especially for expensive one, the serving speed would be slow. But this restaurant successfully delivered an impossible triangle: great taste, great service, great speed!

One of the higher rated sushi spots in San Diego. Service was great and so was the quality. Kind of on the pricey side, and I wasn't in love with the specialty rolls that I ordered. They had a lot going on with them. Wish I would have stuck with a couple of the classic hand rolls to offset the elaborate specialty rolls. I'd go back to give it another try.

Amazing sushi restaurant in downtown San Diego! I went here to celebrate my best friends birthday and we just happened to find it near our Airbnb, get a parking spot close by, and be seated within 30 minutes! We sat upstairs and it was quite noisy, so I asked our waiter if we can be moved to a different spot and he accommodated us! Excellent food and service. Everyone knew the menu very well and were very knowledgeable on sushi. I have some shellfish allergies and I was guided on what to order to accommodate. Great experience!

I one hundred percent love this place! We came here for a Saturday dinner and of course it’s better to make a reservation beforehand. The foods here are amazing, we ordered a bunch of different things. My favorites are Uni Nigiri, sardine nigiri, lobster rolls, pon hama, and crispy rice & spicy tuna. All the fishes are beautifully cut and super fresh. The sushi roll flavor is very well balanced with a unique taste. Here’s service is nice too. I highly recommend you come here to check out if you love Japanese food.

Quality of fish 12/10. Service 12/10. Drinks were very good. However, their omakase is more of a sashimi of the day platter. You get all your fish at once (albeit the presentation is creative), as opposed to the traditional piece by piece. I was a little disappointed by this but the fish was still great, so I can’t complain too much.

Best sushi I’ve ever been treated to! My husband and I came here for a honeymoon dinner and this place did not disappoint! Their selection of nigiri was unique and superb quality. Staff was very friendly and able to give us recommendations. I will never visit any other sushi spot when I come to San Diego - the quality here has ruined me!
