Banbu Sushi Grill - La Mesa

Sitting at the bar by the front door was cold and drafty.

This place is always great ….a little pricey but I think it’s worth it. Always nice and cool inside!

I had an exceptional dining experience at Banbu sushi restaurant! The tastefully designed ambiance created a delightful atmosphere. The food was a true culinary delight, with each dish showcasing exquisite flavors. A special shout-out to our server, Jess, whose warm hospitality made us feel right at home. A definite 5-star gem!

Service and atmosphere ambience were great. It’s a great place to meet and talk since it’s a spacious place for indoors and outdoors. It just the food was lacking of the authenticity in term of the taste. Too fusion maybe ? Presentation was great tho. We ordered 3 items, we couldn’t finish one and took it home. We didn’t take the picture of that one roll. Their menu was massive, a bit confusing for a first timer. I have to say for the price, I expect more authentic Japanese flavor, and didn’t find it here.

I always love going to Banbu Sushi. Everything is fresh, beautifully plated, and the servers are friendly and helpful. This time we went to celebrate my husband's birthday. The birthday was just randomly mentioned while the server was there. At the end of the meal, she brought over a dessert (ice cream and tempora banana) with a candle and a happy birthday on the plate. Very nice touch to a delicious dinner.
