Tomiko Japanese Cuisine is in a cozy location that is a hop, skip and a jump away from Moonlight Beach, downtown Encinitas and the I-5 freeway. If you’re a sushi fiend and are looking to dine in a pristine local offering stunning views, excellent service and a smorgasbord of delicious Japanese Cuisine, you and your lover must stop by.
Pat Stein of the San Diego Union Tribune declared Tomiko as a “Food Find” and it was voted “Best Sushi” by The Sun readers. Therefore after hearing that, we had to give it a shot. After experiencing Tomiko, all we have to say is… the reviews where not far off their mark.
Although Tomiko offered one of the best dining experiences we have ever had at a Japanese restaurant, the sushi could be a little better. Still, Tomiko is one of the better Japanese restaurants in San Diego, we just had better sushi elsewhere. But don’t let that hinder your potential visit, Tomiko still offers great seafood, sashimi and hand rolls. In addition, their “Sake City” also a great place to visit for the occasional happy hour.
