Dined in for the first time here on a Saturday evening. Service was prompt and friendly and didn't have to wait to be seated. Ordered the creamy uni carbonara and a flavored rice cooked with salmon and roe. Ordered a few small plates as well . The small plates were ok (ordered vegetarian ones)and maybe the miso was a bit too sweet on them. The carbonara was pretty good (I liked it even though I don't like cheese or cream that much) . The flavored rice with salmon was also decent. Might go again to try other items.

My wife wanted to come here and try the scallop uni carpaccio. As a plus, they use real wasabi in the sashimi! Great spot

I absolutely loved this authentic little Japanese restaurant. We came in right at opening and the shop quickly filled up. They have onigiri, tempura, grilled skewers, and more. Everything was tasty and true to taste. Their udon dish was one of my favorites and the roasted green tea they served was delightful. Come check it out if you can!

Staff was extremely nice, Yakitori was 7.5/10 but it is not a Yakitori spot so I knew to expect this. The food is great overall, and space is comfortable.

Wa Dining Okan is a hidden gem in San Diego's Kearny Mesa neighborhood. This cozy Japanese restaurant offers a unique izakaya-style dining experience, with a menu featuring a variety of small plates and traditional Japanese dishes. One of the standout dishes at Wa Dining Okan was the Creamy Uni Udon. The meat skewers are also a crowd favorite, with a sweet and savory glaze that complements the tender and juicy meat. In addition to the food, Wa Dining Okan also offers a selection of sake and other Japanese beverages. The restaurant's cozy and welcoming atmosphere makes it a great spot for a casual dinner with friends or a date night. Overall, Wa Dining Okan is a great choice for anyone looking for authentic Japanese cuisine in San Diego. The restaurant's attention to detail and commitment to quality make it a must-visit spot for foodies and Japanese cuisine enthusiasts alike.

A good Japanese restaurant with variety of offerings. I had fried soft shell crab, rice ball in broth with cod roe and grilled salmon belly. I enjoyed the grilled salmon while fried soft shell crab could been better if it was less greasy. I’m looking forward trying other dishes next time.

As a local guide, almost level 6 at this point, I must say that the food here was very authentic and delicious. Their turlet is a frickin toto washlet (bidet) 🚽
