Revisited with my daughter for a sushi date, and I was once again amazed by the flavorful sushi that is served. Its a small place but cozy love the atmosphere and the options of inside and outside sitting as well has a small bar area or you can also watch them make the sushi. We ordered two rolls tiger and a wake and bake. Both have well balanced flavors and honestly making me want more, I wanted to order a third roll of how delicious they are. We both agreed to come back to keep ordering different rolls from the menu.

Wow—never knew that La Mesa was the go-to place for imaginative sushi! Konnichiwa has indoor/outdoor seating and is great to visit during Friday Farmer’s Market on La Mesa Blvd. Our food was fresh and fab! Really hit the spot for a hot Friday lunch. Very nice wait staff, all friendly and helpful. Definitely planning a return visit!

You gotta love this little sushi place in downtown la Mesa. The service was really good and the sushi was also good. I wish they had more rolls that had some other types of fish other than tuna, shrimp or salmon. Overall the place is worth a try

I usually don’t leave negative reviews but due to the lack of follow up and resolution to the issue, customers should know. We have been coming to this place since we moved to SD 3 years ago. We love Friday’s during the farmers market to people watch. The service and food has always been awesome. Large portions, tasty and good prices. However, I did a take out order a couple weeks ago for a beach picnic with my husband.I surprised when I was told the total which about 30-35% increase and this was not reflected in their online menu, which by the way still has not been updated. I proceeded with the order anyway because we love the food here. I paid extra $2 for spicy yellowtail on the Volcano roll instead of crab because of allergies. Picked up the order, did not check it because I have never had an issues. Driver 25 mins to the beach to realize the order still had crab not the spicy yellowtail which we paid extra for and the scallop roll also had the crab salad on it. We could not eat either roll I called to speak with the manager. She stated that he would remake it. However we were already out of the area. I was given the owners information. I called them on the next business day. It’s been over 2 weeks and no response and no resolution. I have called spoke with manager Shane who’s been very courteous. However no resolution. Just good money wasted without getting the product I purchased. This is absolutely unreasonable and not the way loyal customers or any customer paying good money should be treated.

Had an incredible lunch at Konnochiwa Sushi & Bar! Delicious fish, we had the Las Vegas roll, Cutie Pie Roll, Volcano Roll, and the 15 piece sashimi chefs choice. Everything on the menu looked great, excited to return in the future. We sat outside which is dog friendly, and the service was very quick and friendly. Really cute downtown to walk around in, highly recommend!

1. They advertise false prices on their website. When I asked about it the server said “it’s been like that for years”…. Then update your website or honor the price you advertise.2. Sushi was decent. Rinds were still on the lemon slices atop one roll. Fish was average. Miso soup was lukewarm. Rice was great.3. Most staff was friendly aside from the reaction of our server when I asked about the price differential.

This sushi bar has just skyrocketed to the top of my list with some of the best sushi in San Diego! I ordered the Konnichiwa and Lemon Drop sushi rolls and both had exquisite taste and a perfect pairing of flavor and texture. The fish was fresh and tender and the rolls themselves were firm and didnt fall apart. Thats a plus for me!The atmosphere was a bit busy, but how could it not be for the amount of food you get for your dollar! The servers were polite and friendly, prompt when clearing plates and check ins.The sushi is pricey but its 100% worth treating yourself to!

Great sushi and reasonably low prices. The atmosphere is a little shabby but there are tables on the sidewalk so u can people watch as u eat. Interesting there are rice wrap and seaweed wrap and combos, so u can choose at different price levels and order a selection for as low as 8.99 each for about $20 for two plus drinks or at the high end $18 a dish each for two plus drinks for about $36 for 2 with additional tax and tip and drinks. They are very busy and the service is a little slow but not bad. So $20 minimum for two up to $55 for two isn’t bad- $$ food price. We stopped going to bamboo sushi because they raise prices after the pandemic. At bamboo we could get away with $45 now it cost $75 for just 2 plates and drinks too much! Konnichiwa doesn’t have the atmosphere but prices and food are just as good without breaking the bank!
