I am posting the same review I have written on Yelp to here. My husband and I have been to many Japanese restaurants big or small. After moving back to California, we found this place to be fairly inexpensive and "O.K." to have some sushi. So far, we have been to this place 3-4 times. The nice "inexpensive" menu changed on us tonight. Lets start with the service. Every single time we have been here. The service was just terrible. This has to be one of the worst. What's surprising is that our visits have been spread out over 3-4 months and it has not improved even from the same server. We tip 20% at most restaurants but can't honestly justify it for this one. The Dynamite was just... not great. Most places they fill their dynamite with scallops, shrimps, and white fish. They filled it with salmon and tuna. The texture is just not good. Over all, this place has become such a disappointment for us that we are likely to never return and go to Mr. Wasabi down the street instead.
Pros: "Used to be" cheap sushi
Cons: Bad service and not quite authentic

A few friends and I decided to try a different Japanese restaurant a few days ago. So we went to Happy’s Sushi. You never know what to expect when trying a small neighborhood restaurant. It is located in a small strip center on Mira Mesa Blvd. Parking is very good and access easy. They have a number of tables and we seated ourselves. Every one was very friendly. There appeared to be only one waitress, but she was very good and efficient and seemed to handle all the tables with ease. They had a nice selection of sushi and variety of other Japanese’s items. We chose some sushi and a few combination plates. The sushi was very good. The combination plates included teriyaki chicken and teriyaki beef. The menu said the combination plates included rice, miso soup, salad and several sides. When they arrived they looked great. The salad was fresh and the rice excellent. But we were disappointed in the beef and chicken. We expected them to be served on small skewers and either freshly grilled or barbecued as with other places we have been. Instead they were just small pieces of meat mixed together with vegetables and sauce. The chicken was nearly inedible. It was not fresh tasting and may have been prepared much earlier and possibly even reheated. The beef was chewy and stringy with pieces of fat and gristle mixed in. All in all not what we expected. So while we give their sushi a grade of A-, their combination plates get a D-. If we go back again, it will only be for the sushi. Oh...we never did get any miso soup.
Pros: Very good suchi. Good service.
Cons: low quality of beef and chicken
