A sushi spot near the Ocean Beach pier that Roger stumbled into after a fishing trip, praising exceptional hospitality from a host he suspected was the manager or owner, with decent though not standout surf clam, red snapper and rainbow roll ordered just before closing.

Wandered in near closing time after a fishing trip at the OB pier. Ordered surf clam, red snapper and a rainbow roll; the sushi was decent though not the best, possibly because it was leftover stock near closing. The host provided standout hospitality, pouring soy sauce and unfolding napkins.

Roger gave this Ocean Beach craft-beer gastropub 3 stars, though his review text was just a period — no further detail.

Roger rated this 4 stars, praising the bomb salmon and filet mignon alongside a huge wine selection and just a $5 corkage fee.

Roger’s long-running Ocean Beach burger stop: a double bacon cheeseburger, frings and a massive Neapolitan shake, best at the original location.
