Good sushi and decent prices. There will definitely be a wait in the evenings after 6. I like to go around 5 when it’s not too packed. They also have a good happy hour from 5-6.

Nightlife
This place has salsa lessons on Friday nights. There is a fee to enter but it should be between $15 - $20 (last time I went). This is a wonderful date night activity, an easy way to meet new people, and fun start to the weekend.

Outdoor Activities
The top of Cowles is my FAVORITE place in all of San Diego. This is one of the more popular hiking spots in SD. It is a moderate level hike and can take 40-50 minutes each way.
