Sushi Gaga San Diego Reviews from The Last Year
Most incredible and intimate dining experience.
Loved the omakase so much! Went here for my birthday and were impressed by the attention to detail and service! Highly recommend for a special event such a date night, birthday, celebration, etc. love how the food is prepared in front of you and you can actually talk to the chefs! The also loved the sake pairing!
Who knew that hidden behind Asa Bakery was an omakase
Who knew that hidden behind Asa Bakery was an omakase speakeasy! The service here was incomparable. No detail went unnoticed. The venue is a very well done modern Japanese aesthetic. Food overall was very good. There were just a few dishes that were a bit on the salty side, which was surprising given the high level of quality of everything else. Despite that, it was a great experience!
Gaga is the newest concept from the masters behind Beshock
Gaga is the newest concept from the masters behind Beshock Ramen. Tucked away behind a secret door in Asa Bakery, Chef Jason and Chef Shin create some of the most decadent and precise sushi that I've eaten outside of Japan. With only one seating and a nearly 3 hour dinner Gaga really makes you feel like you're royalty or part of a secret club. The service was was done with real care and attention to detail. The servers even fold the toilet paper after someone uses the restroom. Being a product of Beshock the Sake menu is impeccable with a coursed option to match each dish or bottles/carafes to meet any price point. You can even order cocktails from the speakeasy in the same building. According to their website they are not able to meet dietary restrictions. So picky eaters and delicate people should consider that before reserving. Overall a 10/10 experience ありがとうございます。
Major disappointment.
This establishment does not accomodate your dietary restrictions. I had been looking forward to try sushi gaga for a long time. I booked my birthday dinner one month in advance. 2 weeks prior to my birthday, they emailed me saying I won't be able to enjoy their omakase as I have dietary rescteictions and they don't accomodate. They are wrong in thinking that they know what I enjoy or don't enjoy. I'm a picky eater but I've enjoyed omakase at numerous sushi establishments both in San Diego and Japan and I throughly enjoyed it every time. I'm sure I would have enjoyed sushi gaga as well. Now onto the difficulty of cancellation. Since they offered to help cancelling my reservation in their email, I replied asking them to do so. Got no response. They don't provide an option to cancel via Tock app, so the only option is to call them. I called throughout the day but no one picked up the phone. I left VM but never got a call back. Took me 4 days to cancel which isn't a pleasant experience especially when they charge full meal($643) at the time of booking. I think partial deposit is reasonale but full meal??? I will continue to go to other omakase restaurants who are willing to accomodate my dietary restrictions and let me enjoy their omakase.
San Diego has a lot of work to do to catch up with the
San Diego has a lot of work to do to catch up with the world's food scene. Sushi Gaga puts San Diego on that roadmap. The restaurant's decor is set in a classical Japanese setting, but from the speakeasy like entrance to the beautiful display of rocks behind the sushi bar, the restaurant passes the eye test from the interior. The vibe is intimate, yet relaxed. The drinks and conversations will flow with the rest of the crowd, for those who desire. The chefs, mainly concentrating on the food seeking perfection, are true professionals at their craft. The course menu at GAGA delivered big time. From the start to the finish, the items hit home visually and the palettes fulfilled. The daring combinations of classical dishes and untraditional add ons. Risks taken, textures and flavors fully delivered. Thank you team Gaga, will be back very soon.
It's still solid.
They significantly expanded their drink menu and it's impressive. The sake pairing was popular, but I opted for a beer and The Stache from Bar Kamon. They are now open six days a week and seem to be doing well. It was a full house this evening. The warm toilet seat in the bathroom was an added bonus.

We had a wonderful experience at Sushi Gaga! It's a great place for a special occasion. The food was fun and creative. I did find that the nigiri tend to be a little too salty for my liking...I like to taste the fish and sometimes it was overwhelmed with salt. It is a higher price point than other local omakase, but the quality of ingredients is also higher...chef was very generous with caviar, truffle, etc. Would recommend for a special occasion but not my go-to omakase as I like a simpler Edomae sushi experience.
Highly recommend sake pairing! It just completed the
Highly recommend sake pairing! It just completed the omakase experience. Their sake was a whole different level. Trying nine different sake including cold and warm sake was very satisfying. I also liked that they gave us different sake glasses. Their Omakase was delicious! Fresh ingredient, creative combination and nice presentation. My hubby and I loved everything. I will just point out a few dishes. Oyster was full of flavor. It made me feel like in the middle of ocean. The flavor of Bisque was rich. I liked the bread from ASA bakery. It was bouncy. And roasted popped brown rice on the top of bread is so Japanese. I was surprised by their braised Abalone. I normally am not a huge fan of abalone. But they made it so tender. Liver Pate sauce was a great match. Also Kinome Leaf was a great touch. I was impressed how they thought about putting all these flavors together. Snowcrab was tasty. Crab meat and crab roe were so good. I also like soy sauce jelly. It's lighter than liquid soy sauce. But it had texture. Rice was covered by some brown tiny thing. (Maybe some kind of roe). I love it! Gaga roll was a great combination of all my favorites! The only dish that didn't meet my expectation was dessert. It was Hokkaido Milk Soft Serve. It did taste good. But they also sell it at ASA bakery. I already had it at ASA bakery a few weeks ago. It just didn't seem they put enough efforts for dessert in a omakase course. I do like that they gave us a box of pastry from ASA bakery in the end. It was wrapped beautifully.
My second visit to Sushi Gaga and the winter menu and
My second visit to Sushi Gaga and the winter menu and experience beat out the first time which was amazing to begin with. Loved the snow crab, abalone and Uni! The Uni bisque was mouth watering and they should seriously consider making that a mainstay signature dish to be experienced and admired by all who dine at this fine establishment! Service was great and the intimate bar experience was wonderful!
Sushi Gaga is aesthetically astounding.
Make no doubt about it. The refined stone wall with clean wood paneling gives no confusion that Gaga is refined. Nestled almost in speakeasy fashion inside Asa Bakery, this omakase only sushi dining experience has been making BIG splashes in the East Village Pool. We started off the evening waiting outside the secret door to the sushi backroom. Offered a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, the service and attention to detail came out swinging. The counter only service was incredibly personal. The fish was fresh and the ingredients (which were proudly placed on display to us) were immaculate. My two gripes (and truly there were only two) was the level of knowledge/attention to detail of the waitresses and the value. Numerous times, the waitresses just seemed out of their element. Not as knowledgeable about the sake pairing that they were serving. Additionally, my girlfriend doesn't eat beef so had to get the wagyu course swapped out with an uni nigiri (no complaints. the uni was incredible) however, the sake pairing was late (after she got already got and ate the uni) and during the explanation the waitress kept reminding her about the quality of the wagyu and how the sake would pair perfectly. This ties into the second point. At $250 a seat, the price point is competitive if not more than the local Michelin star sushi restaurants. With the errors and lapses of service, I don't think Gaga warrants the price tag it demands. Does it have the potential? ABSOLUTELY. I'll be eager to come try again once Gaga has had more time under it's belt. If you crave an elevated dining experience. Go to Gaga--at least once.
