Coast Highway / west side just before gas station on Cassidy. The most creative and sustainable sushi in southern california. I recommend you order omakase “chefs choice” sushi .

The owners are friend/ acquaintances of mine- they also own the Whet Noodle in the same building, Shootz in Tremont, a fresh dead food to go joint called The Brine Box that just opened on the Oceanside Pier and The Plot (plant based mostly creative vegan food a block North.
