" One of the best sushi spots I’ve been to in years! Ikiru successfully combines authenticity and modern flavors. The salmon sashimi was heavenly, and the unique rolls are a must-try. I appreciate that they have a small achievable menu, which keeps the quality consistently high. I’ll be back because the food is worth the hype! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a fantastic experience at Ikiru Sushi. I ordered the spicy miso ramen, which was comforting and had depth; my companion had the nigiri and said it was excellent. The wait staff was attentive and friendly throughout. The only downside was it can be a bit tight, but it adds to the experience of visiting a true sushi bar. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ikiru Sushi is my go-to for sushi in San Diego! I have been coming here for years, and the quality is always outstanding. The rolls are generous and full of flavor, and the service is always top-notch. I particularly enjoy their special rolls and the spicy miso soup. It might get busy, so timing your visit is crucial, but it's worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ikiru Sushi has some of the best sushi I've had in San Diego. The fish is incredibly fresh, and they truly capture the essence of Japanese dining. Though small in size, the restaurant has a lovely atmosphere. My only complaint was that my spicy tuna roll was a bit spicier than I expected. I'd still return because of the overall great experience! " (*Curated Review*)
