Kiiro Sushi Izakaya

The aburi garlic butter and block cod nigiri is worth it to come and leave. Kamikaze roll and salmon skin handrolls were good. Sushi chefs were kind and quiet. Server was terrible as she ignored us the entire time and cleared plates of the family with plenty of room at their table behind us while we had zero space, had to put away our own menus to the small counter next to us, give our dirty dishes to the sushi chefs to get them cleared, or put them into the spots next to us. We were the only 2 parties in the restaurant and as she walked to the table, don’t acknowledge or help us. But, I would sit at the sushi bar and eat those nigiri but just those two.

My husband called in and ordered the chirashi bowl and the YSC roll. I went to pick it up and when they handed me the receipt, the chirashi bowl was priced at $45. I showed him that their website where you order online says it’s $36. He looked at the menu and just said that it’s supposed to be $45 and their price online was incorrect. They then charged me $45 instead of honoring the price online. I should’ve just ordered it through their website and paid $36. It’s baffling to me that a restaurant wouldn’t honor their price and make a customer upset over $9. Well it’s clear that they value saving a buck because the food is subpar. You would think that a $75 meal for 2 people would either be a lot of food or very good, but it was neither. I’ve spent less at a sushi spot in Manhattan for way better food. There are a ton of sushi spots in San Diego that are far better - save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else. Food = 2/5, Service = 1/5. Overall is 2/5 because I try to keep my reviews based on food quality and value.

At 22 for a roll expectations are high. Unless you have no other place to go I dont know why you would choose this place. Salmon lover is a copy of Salmon lime roll from Dojo sushi in LA. My roll over all construction wasn't brilliant. Quality was fine nothing outstanding. Based on eating sushi in michelin star restaurants to eating it in Japan from Tushima to Tokyo. This place leave a lot to be desired. I gave it 3.8 stars. Service was lacking perhaps they were short staffed.
