I came here the first time for dinner last Friday. The place is a hole in the wall on Convoy, in a strip mall next to a car audio place and a cell phone repair shop, so it can be hard to find. (Phuong Trang strip mall for you locals . The windows are blacked out. There's a sign on top but nothing else to indicate what might be inside. Once you get in, an elderly lady tells you there are no rolls and if that's OK. Of course I said yes! I got a seat at the bar and I was the only one there as I arrived at 5:26 PM with no reservation : The lady asked me what I would like to drink and I asked for green tea. Then my itamae came out and asked what I would like and I said omakase. Then it's off we went on a delicious journey that started with maguro and ended with uni, with a lot of interesting stops along the way. The chef told me which pieces didn't need soy sauce and I followed his direction. In the end, I was fully sated and had a great experience. I found out the chef used to have a bigger restaurant in Del Mar for 19 years and relocated to Kearny Mesa some 15 years ago. His wife is Korean and they have 3 children, one of which is in Irvine with one grandchild but maybe another if she moves back to San Diego (where the lady that greeted me with serve as both hostess and babysitter! . In any case, they were both super friendly, provided great conversations, so I don't know where some folks get the idea they're sushi snobs. They're not; just traditionalists. Anyways, with tip, the omakase came to about $100. Well worth it I say, but it's an indulgence since I can't afford to do that all the time! I highly recommend Sushi Dokoro Shirahama!

Omakase is the way to go. Pick your price and let him serve. You won't be disappointed. Fish looks different (color or texture) due to higher quality level. Tried salmon roe for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. (Traducido por Google) Omakase es el camino a seguir. Elija su precio y déjelo servir. No te decepcionará. El pescado se ve diferente (color o textura) debido al nivel de calidad más alto. Probé las huevas de salmón por primera vez y me sorprendió gratamente.
