Niban Japanese Restaurant
I am a regular at Niban since I work in Clairemont. I have eaten there for years and their sushi is fresh and if you're dining with a "non-sushi" friend, there are other yummy options like Chicken & Beef Teriyaki (<--spell check!), their Katsu Salad and fried seafood are good and I like their steamed gyoza (it's my favorite). If you have vegetarians (like my brother), they have about three or four different sushi options, plus the steamed gyoza is meatless (and wonderful!). My favorite rolls are the crunchy roll, baja roll, lion king roll and Hawaiian roll. I usually eat there for lunch. I call it in and pick it up (if you do this, make sure they give you your condiments like the tartar sauce if that's what you like). I will occasionally dine in for lunch or dinner and it's very casual and the service is moderately great to wonderful (depending on who's section you're in--but isn't that like most places). If you do get stuck in a lame section, there is a very friendly Japanese woman who wear pretty make-up and she'll give you Niban bucks towards your next purchase.
Pros: GREAT DEALS, YUMMY SUSHI, DAILY LUNCH AND DINNER SPECIALS.
Cons: THE PARKING LOT STINKS and an occasional smart a** employee. But when the owner's around, that's usually not the case.
