Banbu Sushi Bar & Grill

We went at 8pm on a Sunday. They seated us immediately, however it was located towards the back with no view of anything even though there were several tables available near the windows. We did not say anything because it was ok for us as we enjoyed the privacy and really just wanted to eat. The food was outstanding. We shared oysters, chicken bites, turf and surf, a ramen noodle bowl, and monkey roll. We had enough to take some home. Delicious food. The food and dining experience has been overall great on each of the 3 times we have eaten there.

The sushi is really good (not the best in the area though). It is very busy most of the time and the wait times for service and food match that. Every time I've been there, it has taken a considerable amount of time for the food to arrive. Still recommend if you have the time.

We are regulars here because the service is top notch, the food/sushi is excellent, and the bartenders remember us and our favorite drinks every time we grab a seat at the bar. The Rose Roll is second to none, the Ramen is bomb, and my partner loves the Lemon Cilantro Roll as well. It can get really busy late night on the weekends and sushi during these times can take a long time to come out (understandably) so plan ahead, be patient and kind. Mahalo! Parking: The ground floor of the parking structure next door is free for restaurant parking! And it has EV Chargers!

Amazing!!!!!

This place was awesome. We tried all the drinks on the menu including the creme brulee martini, love potion, french martini, peach margarita, and asian pear martini. All were great but margarita with tajin rim was fave. For sushi rolls we tried all of our waiter’s suggestions - hokkaido ahi roll (amazing 6/5 stars), ultimate hamachi roll (suuuuuper refreshing, if not a little too much cilantro), and tiger lilly (maybe the prettiest roll on the menu and packed with shrimp). We were very impressed by the food and suggestions by our waiter Kayla who was awesome and we will definitely be coming back for more. Yum yum 4 stars for atmosphere because we couldnt sit outside Parking: Might be busy/difficult to find on weekends

This sushi restaurant is one of the best in San Diego! Its menu selection of sushi is amazing, plus their entrees are delicious. I highly recommend making a reservation for dinner. Walk-ins, okay, but it'll be a long wait.

Sushi is fire
