Score 89/100 · Order: Omakase or chef's selection · $85–160
Himitsu occupies a small space in La Jolla and delivers a polished, intimate omakase experience. The fish is pristine, the rice is seasoned with restraint, and the presentation is clean. The counter is intimate enough that the chef can talk you through each piece, and the pacing is slow enough to appreciate the details. The price is high, but the experience is consistent and special. It is the best option in La Jolla for diners who want a focused sushi dinner without driving to PB or University Heights.
