SOICHI San Diego Reviews from The Last Year
100% Recommend Chef Soichi San My Husband and I was able
100% Recommend Chef Soichi San My Husband and I was able to dine in with him at the bar! We loved every moment of it! Thank you and your staff for your kindness! We not only enjoyed the ambiance of friendliness and hospitality but we truly enjoyed every single dish that came out! We got the class full omakese menus plus added a whole bunch extra stuff after! All their appetizers were on spot so delicious! Can I say, fresh? Hello! Yes, super fresh and supper delicious. We've been to several omakese and Soichi lived up to their expectations. Thank you chef Soichi for a wonderful time and allowing my husband to enjoy his time here! We loved every single fish and seafood you gave us! I can't even name them to be honest! See my pictures for reference!!
We put ourselves on the waitlist for anything that was
We put ourselves on the waitlist for anything that was available and got an email, which we booked reservations ASAP! When we arrived, we were seated by the hostess. The restaurant is small with a 10 person seating at the bar and a few tables inside and two outside. We went with the nigiri omakase which was $110 because we like to order extra nigiri at the end (ones we didn't try or really liked). I will say, everything we had was delicious! From the appetizers, the oyster was fresh and the monk fish liver was tasty. The nigiri, everything was also fresh and delicious. The otoro melted in our mouths and the Hokkaido uni was creamy and sweet. Each piece got better and better. I think I've tried trigger fish once but it was so good, my husband order another one at the end of the omakase meal. That along with Japanese sardine. We were at another sushi restaurant a few days before and Soichi does Golden Eye Snapper much better. The hostess and chef were very attentive and made sure we had a great time. Overall, our meal lasted 2 hours. We did find street parking pretty easily. We would definitely return!
I thought I had made a reservation for this place.
I show up there and the host says that there are 300 people in the "waitlist". While I understand this is a popular place, the delivery of the message was terrible. I felt as if the host made fun of me in front of the entire restaurant. Extremely disrespectful. My friends drove all the way from LA to have a good time, while I was not expecting to be seated, I was expecting that my party would be treated with respect. I don't care how "good" the food is. Customers should be treated respectfully not received by an obnoxious host. I am never stepping foot in this place again.
I have been to Soichi perhaps 6 times, always seated at the
I have been to Soichi perhaps 6 times, always seated at the bar for omakase. Reservations are hard to get, but so, so worth it. This is an incredible, elevated sushi experience. Chef Soichi and his team send out incredibly creative and delicious creations, and share with you what you are having, where the fish was sourced, etc. Soichi is extremely engaging. If you're having omakase, you will receive pieces one by one, giving you time to savor each one. By the end of your meal, you'll be satisfied - but craving your next visit!
Awesome service! Good sushi and booze.
Friendly atmosphere that felt authentic. Heads up that food does come out slowly as they make it
Michelin star must try.
The evening couldn't have been better. We drove by and on a whim and stopped by this place not knowing it was a Michelin restaurant. Very intimate venue with 2 tables outside, 3 tables inside, and the sushi bar. We asked if there was availability for 2 and we were advised they were booked for the night. We walked outside to contemplate our next move when to our surprise said they could fit us in within about 30 min. They called me in less than 30 min to tell me the table was ready and seated us. The staff were super friendly and knowledgeable. After ordering an item we were checked in on and then made recommendations based on our likes. The food was AMAZING! This is a must try and they only open up the books once a month on the first of the month to book a spot for the next month. We got super lucky to get a chance to try out this great spot and will for sure be back.

me and my boyfriend came for the full omasake ($150 per person). let me tell you it's worth everything. from the tasting dishes, soups, fish, dessert, drinks, etc everything was so flavorful and fresh. the service was so excellent, the staff and chef explain everything on the dish. the staff is so attentive and friendly. the only downside was the parking. there is no parking structure or parking lot. you have to be lucky enough to find parking on the road!
Everything from the food to the service and ambiance was
Everything from the food to the service and ambiance was 15/10. I cannot believe how great the meal was. Soichi's wife greeted us when we first arrived and our table was not quite ready so she said we could grab drinks at her daughter's restaurant next door and she would come get us when the table was ready. When we were able to get seated, Rachel reviews the entire menu with us and allowed us to sample the sake before deciding on a bottle. We ended up getting 3 different bottles throughout the night. One was Dewazakura Ginjo Ouka and another being Sohomare Karakuchi Junmai. For dinner, I selected to do the nigiri omakase while everyone else I went with did the full omakase. Everything that we ate was spectacular. I'm still learning to love raw fish so getting the nigiri option was perfect for me. Nothing that we ate was super fishy and more so melted in your mouth. I'd have to say the last course was my favorite. Lots of tuna and a hand roll!!!! I ended my omakase with a scoop of matcha ice cream and it was the perfect end treat. Next time I go back, I'd like to sit at the sushi bar without a doubt. Overall, one of the best restaurants I've ate at and will definitely be back!!
Exceptional experience here!!! From food, to service, to
Exceptional experience here!!! From food, to service, to ambiance, everything was great! After checking in for the reservation, I was promptly greeted by the host and guided to my seat. I tried the nigiri omakase and loved the full course! All the fish is super fresh and the chef is very informative with explaining where the fish came from and how it was prepared. I felt very welcomed and part of the journey. Chef Soichi is very generous and will answer all your questions. You have to come try all the dishes here! All the fish has a unique flavor and melts in your mouth! I am already exited to come back and try other dishes!!! You won't regret it!!! Cheers guys!!!
It took us eternity to get reservations, but sooo worth it!
It took us eternity to get reservations, but sooo worth it! I couldn't believe how delicious the sushi was and the chefs were so cool and funny! It was such a pleasure eating here.
A truly remarkable experience
Located in the University Heights neighborhood of San Diego, Soichi Sushi is a Michelin star award-winning eatery specializing in Omakase service, where you essentially put your dining experience in the hands of the chef, who selects and prepare the offerings in front of you. My son and I dined here in late October 2022. NOTE that the restaurant is very small and extremely popular, so advance reservations are a must. On our visit, Chef Soichi was taking care of half the customers, while we were attended to by his sous chef, Chef Daniel, who is a second-generation sushi chef. Each dish is served separately one-at-a-time to allow you as the diner to focus of the uniqueness of each piece of sushi. As an American of Japanese descent, I’ve eaten a great deal of sushi in my day, but I was served some fish that I’ve never had on sushi before. Everything was incredibly fresh and artfully presented, and I really appreciated Chef Daniel’s engaging demeanor. Every bite was a delicious new adventure. Chef Soichi is also a wonderful host, interacting will all his patrons. In fact, upon discovering that one of the customers was celebrating a birthday, he pulled out a guitar and led everyone in a rendition of “Happy Birthday.” In addition, the wait staff was extremely gracious and attentive. Make no mistake, a meal at Soichi Sushi is going to be expensive, but if you’re celebrating a special occasion or just want a memorable dining experience, a visit here is highly recommended.

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it? |
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

Hi Community,
I am new to this site and just recently bought a reservation here. I noticed that on the reservation page, it is booked under a random name and a virtual email address.
I can't find any button to change either the name or the email for this reservation I bought. So, should I just say that random name when I arrived at the restaurant? Not really sure about the procedures.
