About

For sushi with a Baja influence in Chula Vista's Eastlake district, Ika Sushi & Grill on Proctor Valley Road has operated since 2017 with a menu bridging traditional Japanese technique and regional flair. The namesake Eastlake Roll — shrimp tempura topped with seared salmon, ponzu, and cilantro — draws on the same Japanese-meets-Southern-California palate that defines the Eastlake dining corridor alongside Bento & Noodles Eastlake. Chef's-choice sashimi platters arrive as ten-piece spreads cut from fish delivered multiple times per week, supporting both the nigiri bar and the specialty roll program. The kitchen also runs a teppanyaki-style grill for steak and shrimp plates served with sauteed mushrooms and lemon-garlic butter, a dual format that extends the restaurant's reach beyond raw-fish diners to the event-catering market served by venues such as Casa Sur Hacienda. Signature rolls including the Pepper Scallop combine seared scallop, jalapeno, and spicy mayo in an eight-piece configuration that anchors a 30-plus-item specialty roll lineup.
