Happy to have found a sushi restaurant around my neighborhood. Everything we had was fresh and tasty. I believe the servers name was Melanie. She was very attentive and gave great recommendations.

I traveled to San Diego with my family and tried many restaurants, but Chef Jun was the best. Of course, many famous restaurants in San Diego were delicious, but I still can't forget the omakase I had at Chef Jun's. The restaurant was crowded, but everyone...Read More

We did the omakase and it was an absolute treat. Chef Jun prepared it for us and we were so impressed. The fish was very fresh and the combination of flavors in each course was amazing. There are good drink options for both sake and...Read More

WOW! Such an experience! Came here last night for Valentine’s Day. This place looks better in person, than it does in pictures. Service was phenomenal. Our server had many tables, yet still checked up on us multiple times. His knowledge about what’s on the menu,...Read More

Great tasting sushi and sashimi. Nice to be able to make reservations and it's a great place to take friends and family. Its not the cheapest Japanese food around but offers tremendous quality and taste for the price.

Good cooking with fresh fishes and vegetables and fine ingredients. The Korean galbi was also very tasty but a little too chewy. The service was nice and very attentive.

I love this place. The staff are kind, the food is good, parking is easy. My only suggestion would be to change up their menu or offer new types of sushi to potentially add to the menu. The good news is that they have nice...Read More

I'm shocked this place isn't more popular. It's amazing! The food/fish are high quality and fresh. My partner and I shared the Jun San and orange Specialty Roll. My favorite is the salmon oshi, which ironically, is the only thing I didn't take a picture...Read More

Chef Jun is an underrated sushi restaurant. It’s now one of my favorite go-to. What I love most is the omakase. You’ll be presented with multiple dishes that will leave you full and satisfied. They put a unique spin to some of the sushi dishes. The flavor...Read More

Loved it! Ordered the middle set menu. Everything was delicious and it was structured very well with the rice and carbs at the end. Portions were just just the right size to sample many different pieces, the chef choice nigiri were fun ones
