There is nothing better than fresh sushi rolls and steaming hot ramen to start the weekend! Luckily at Sushi Mori you can have both and so much more. Their fish is cut fresh daily and the rolls are almost too beautiful to eat. Sushi Mori has been family owned for over 15 years and is truly a gem. Plus it’s only a short walk to the iconic La Jolla Shores.

Phenomenal sushi at Sushi Mori! All the seafood was so fresh and delicious tasting. We ordered the bluefin tuna toro, yellowtail belly, yellowtail, and Uni nigiri. Also the popcorn lobster and Gucci roll. We sat on the dog friendly patio. The service was excellent, quick and friendly. Definitely recommend, great area to walk around and right next to the beach.

Great food from the sushi and sashimi combo to the chicken teriyaki bento box! They even made a white rice and shrimp combo for the tastes of my son.

We really enjoyed this restaurant. The food was excellent. We got isolated soup and a few specialty rolls. Everything was delicious. The fish was super fresh. Definitely would come back
