Scoring a 97 out of 100 on its San Diego County health inspection, DASHI operates a two-floor sushi and wine bar concept at 501 University Ave in Hillcrest's 92103 ZIP code. The two-floor layout seats sushi counter guests on the ground level and cocktail-bar patrons upstairs, splitting raw fish and drink programs across dedicated spaces on the same University Ave block as Aero Club Bar's whiskey-focused lounge. The ground-floor dining room focuses on nigiri sets, sashimi platters, and signature rolls such as the Mr. Miyagi, while the second floor houses an 18-page drink menu spanning sake, Japanese whisky, and California wines. A full sake flight program pairs junmai, ginjo, and daiginjo grades with each course, extending the Japanese beverage experience on the same Fifth Ave corridor as Extraordinary Desserts's patisserie. The kitchen's highest-tier offering is a chef-driven omakase experience that sequences seasonal nigiri, sashimi, and cooked courses around imported Japanese fish.
