Tanuki - S San Diego

Went there with no reservation on what turned out to be a pretty busy night for them and loved it.We'll be going back there again and liked it more than going to Animae, where we'd gone for the same occasion a year earlier. The food was fantastic! It took a long time for anything to come out and one lady wasn't handling the backup well. BUT that didn't change anything about us liking it, in the long run. The food was delicious and sincerely beat Animae.We'll be going back, for sure!

Delicious, super fresh fish. Everything is so tasty and great textures, contrasts.Food: 5/5

My first time here and my son wanted miso soup as he was not feeling well . I called and ordered two soups and everything was delicious!Got there and everything was clean and well maintained. Bathroom was good ??!Parking was available!

Everything is freshSmall place decent foodFood: 4/5

What seemed promising ultimately fell flat. Although our server was great, the restaurant itself is nothing special. The atmosphere feels like it could be in a strip mall and the food lacked flavor. We tried the agedashi tofu (tasted bland), the teriyaki chicken (almost inedibly dry), and two sushi rolls. Sadly not one dish was even slightly remarkable. The best part of the experience was getting to choose our own sake cup from an eclectic selection.For the prices especially (but even if it were cheap), this is a definite skip.
