Himitsu. (Hospitality and Gastronomy) in San Diego (California).
Description
Tucked away at 1030 Torrey Pines Rd in La Jolla, Himitsu serves up a delightful slice of Japan in San Diego. With a commendable score of 4.6 out of 5 and over 300 reviews, it seems like this place has captured the hearts—and taste buds—of many.
I remember walking in and feeling the vibe immediately. It’s cozy, yet chic—a spot that balances traditional Japanese aesthetics and California’s laid-back charm. Seriously, sitting at the sushi bar as the chefs work their magic? Priceless. It’s like watching an art show, with every slice of fish looking like a masterpiece.
Now, the omakase experience is where things get real. I’ve heard it’s not just good; some say it’s top-notch, but, honestly? It can be pricey. Diners often rave about the fresh uni and perfectly seared fish, but there’s mention of portion sizes being on the smaller side. Still, those flavors—wow. Each piece sings, especially when paired with a nice sake.
And let’s not forget the staff. They’re super friendly, a real breath of fresh air. You might even find yourself chatting with them as they serve—you feel like part of the family.
If you’re in the mood for lunch, they’ve got you covered too, but be warned: outside seating might take a bit longer. Yet, catching that ocean breeze while savoring some chirashi is sheer bliss.
Planning a visit? Bring your appetite and maybe a special someone. Himitsu is closed on Sundays and Mondays, but open the rest of the week from 11:30 AM to 9 PM. Just make sure to check the timing—there’s something special waiting for you there!
