From tranditional sushi, to Asian fusion dishes; delicious bento to gourmet homemade dessert, we got them all here for you.
My greatest joy comes from finding the highest quality ingredients and creating the taste i imagine for each fish, whether it be raw, salted with seaweed, or pickled and fermented with vinegar; it all depends on what is best for that individual piece.
Our executive chef and owner Gary devotes his passion and skill to provide delicious, authertic sushi and Japanese cultural food, in order to warm people's hearts worldwide

We’re frequent diners at Boto Sushi Del Mar, and on Valentine’s Day, we walked in to find the restaurant fully booked with a line. Thankfully, we had made a reservation, or we would’ve ended up waiting for over an hour. Beyond the clean, welcoming atmosphere and the convenience of hassle-free parking, the main reason we keep coming back to Boto Sushi is the exceptional freshness of their raw fish. This is a non-negotiable for us. We never worry about the quality of their sushi, as we’ve never experienced raw fish that tastes off or isn’t up to standard. The consistency in their quality is why we trust them every time. We’ll certainly continue returning to Boto Sushi Del Mar. The only downside? They’re closed on Sundays, which is a bit of a bummer.

I left my wife’s birthday meal in Gary’s hands and he did not disappoint. Gary and his team have my full trust in providing the best sushi experience in SoCal.

FRESH & UNIQUE! The service was outstanding, everyone was incredibly kind and had great recommendations on new things for us to try. I’ve never had such fresh nigiri! The salmon, toro and jack mackerel were our favorites. Beautiful spot, we will absolutely be back!

The food is excellent but the customer service could use a lot of improvement. For starters, the restaurant was nearly empty when we went for dinner on Halloween night, but the hostess asked us if we had reservations and then proceeded to make us wait to be seated. And even though there were three people in our party and only one other set of diners, she gave us only one menu. When we asked for more menus, she brought us only one more even though she could clearly see there were three of us. Once our food came, the waitress kept hovering around and near us, and pounced on any empty dish she saw in our table even if it meant leaning over one of us or interrupting our conversation to ask if she could clear the empty dish or pass it to her. After bringing us our check, she again hovered around and started to clean up while we were trying to box our leftovers and calculate the tip.

Gary and his staff are second to none. The Omakase course is the best in SoCal and I challenge you to find a better sushi restaurant.

Gary and his staff have done it again! In celebration of my wife’s promotion, there was no other option when it comes to Omakase in San Diego County. Service, presentation, and sake selection is second to none. Thanks Gary for another great experience!

Gary has done it again! Without a doubt, his omakase experience along with the sake pairing is second to none. When you make a reservation at Boto, do yourself a favor and experience Gary’s omakase. Your tastebuds will thank you.

Gary made our Omakase experience second to none! His level of experience combined with the outstanding quality of fish, exposes your palate to unforgettable moments. The Michelin Guide is definitely missing Boto on their San Diego list.
