Yakitori Tsuta

“This is a wonderfully curated yakitori experience. The entire meal took about 2.5. Chef and one waiter guide you through an omakase yakitori tasting that is super fun and well explained. You get to watch all of the meals made in front of you and the pacing was perfect.”

“I have nothing but the Highest Praise! If you are looking for a unique dining experience that transports you to a place far away: this is it!! The food was stupendous. Great spot to go for a birthday! My husband was truly enamored as he said and I quote, “My soul and body connected” after having one of the 8 skewers. We both enjoyed the same skewers. The appetizers, soup, duck, tail, the skin, the wings, the veil, the ramen. It was like nothing I have ever tasted in my life. Have nothing but gratitude for this wonderful restaurant.”

“One of the most impressive meals we’ve had in quite some time. We’ve known Chef Tsuta as a world class yakitori chef, and now being able to see (and taste) his creativity in other ways is amazing. It’s no wonder this is one of the hardest reservations to get in San Diego; the amount of time, work, and care he puts into every course is mind boggling. Go for the omakase; you won’t be disappointed, and you will definitely not leave hungry.”

“An absolutely exceptional omakase experience. From the moment you step in, the intimate setting sets the tone for something truly special. Each course was thoughtfully crafted, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor—every bite felt intentional and made with genuine care. The space was immaculate, and the chef took his time to guide us through each dish, showcasing both skill and artistry. This was an unforgettable dining experience that sets a new standard for omakase. Highly recommended, and I will most certainly be returning.”

“Very unforgettable yakitori experience. Things are perfectly balanced and you can taste that the chef pays attention to every detail. Every skewer is done perfectly with crispy (but not burnt) outside and juicy inside. The condiments (salt, garlic, ginger, sauces, yuzu etc) are applied gently and never on your face. The sake selection is great. I could write a full essay to talk about every course but would rather not spoil things here and leave to you to taste them.”
