Roger gave this sushi spot a middling rating for its pricing and average taste, saying the lunch specials weren't bad though not the best either, and noting -- despite some other reviewers' comments -- that the restaurant's Vietnamese ownership shouldn't dissuade anyone from eating there.

Said the lunch specials weren't bad, though not the best. Noted the restaurant is Vietnamese-owned and said that shouldn't stop anyone from eating there.
Stay in the neighborhood

Good for one thing in Roger’s book: a dog-friendly patio. The Black & Bleu burger was bland on a cold bun.

Roger rated this Mission Valley Tender Greens 4 stars, noting it's bigger but also much more crowded than the other Tender Greens locations he's been to.

The Mission Valley outpost of The Kebab Shop, a chain Roger has followed since its East Village original (still his favorite location); lamb doner, shawarma and kebab plates all deliver, though parking and lunch crowds are the tradeoff.
