Authentic Japanese Sushi in Point Loma, San Diego
Seasonal fish. House-made shari. Quiet hospitality.
Our Story
At Nagisa Sushi, we bring authentic Japanese sushi together with San Diego’s coastal lifestyle. Located in Point Loma near Liberty Station, Ocean Beach, SeaWorld, and San Diego International Airport, Nagisa offers fresh seasonal seafood, signature seasoned rice, craft sake, and warm hospitality in a relaxed neighborhood atmosphere.
“Nagisa” means “beach” in Japanese, reflecting both our roots and the ocean-inspired spirit of San Diego. Inspired by Japanese tradition and local surf culture, we create an approachable dining experience where locals and travelers can enjoy quality sushi, thoughtful flavors, and memorable moments together.
Meet Chef Hajime Taira
Nagisa Sushi is led by Chef Hajime Taira, whose training spans Okinawa, Tokyo, and Osaka before bringing his craft to California. Together with our second Japanese chef, he continues to study and refine traditional technique while embracing local, seasonal ingredients. Every piece of nigiri — from the house-made shari to the final brush of nikiri — reflects decades of Japanese training, served with San Diego’s coastal ease.

“Hidden gem in a shopping center you wouldn’t normally head to. Service was prompt and friendly, and the sea bream carpaccio, pressed sushi, and wagyu tataki were all awesome. Reasonably priced.”
