How to choose
Convoy's sushi runs from a $3.95 conveyor belt to a $195 omakase, and the right pick depends entirely on the occasion. These seven cover the splurge, the special night, nigiri by the piece, everyday rolls, all-you-can-eat, the fun family meal and the after-midnight roll.
For the big splurge, Hidden Fish's 90-minute, 18-piece counter or Matoi's full Edomae omakase — both need reservations weeks out. Matoi's one-hour quick omakase is the easiest way in. For great nigiri ordered piece by piece, or a $35 lunch set, Harmony Cuisine 2B1. For everyday rolls and bento, Kumi Sushi Grill. For all-you-can-eat sushi and sashimi, Itacho. For groups and kids, Kura's conveyor belt and prize game. For late-night rolls with soju, ZZan.

The 7 picks
Hidden Fish
The Convoy splurge: an 18-piece, nigiri-forward omakase at a 12-seat counter, one chef per four guests, $160 a head. Book on Resy weeks out, arrive early — everyone starts on the clock — and save room for the fish of the day a la carte.
Matoi
Reservation-only Edomae omakase at a counter of about ten, with seasonal fish from Japan and 90s hip-hop. Full course $195; the one-hour quick omakase is $95.
Harmony Cuisine 2B1
Top-tier nigiri without committing to a full omakase: order bluefin, zuke chu-toro, kinmedai and uni by the piece ($4.50-13) at a small U-shaped bar, plus a daily specials sheet, uni pasta and a $35 lunch set. Book on OpenTable and sit at the bar.
Kumi Sushi Grill
The everyday option in the Mitsuwa plaza: $17-19 specialty rolls, 2-piece nigiri around $8, poke and bento boxes, ramen and Korean short ribs, open daily until 9:30pm. Weekday lunch roll combos are $21.50 — easy for a mixed group.
Kura Revolving Sushi Bar
San Diego's only revolving sushi bar: $3.95 plates, a drink robot and a prize game for a big stack of plates. Not the best fish on the street, but the most fun table for kids and groups — reserve on the Kura app.
Itacho Sushi
All-you-can-eat sushi in Independence Square: rolls, nigiri, appetizers and ramen for $29.99 at weekday lunch, or $42.99 at dinner with unlimited sashimi; $57.99 adds uni and wagyu nigiri. Order in small rounds — leftovers cost extra.
ZZan Sushi & Soju
Late-night rolls and sashimi alongside Korean bar food and soju, with karaoke rooms in back. The sushi you can still get after midnight.
