Since 1983, Sushi Deli 1 at 228 W Washington St has anchored Mission Hills’ dining scene as the veteran-owned original of a three-location operation in San Diego’s 92103 ZIP code. The fusion roll program merges Japanese technique with California and Mexican flavor profiles, drawing on the same farm-to-table sourcing found at Hillcrest Farmers Market. Beyond the sushi bar, the menu covers teriyaki bowls, ramen, curry, and fried rice across both lunch and dinner seatings. Larger group events in the 92103 area pair well with platter-style catering through Indulge USA for off-site orders. The kitchen’s most distinctive rolls include the Baja California topped with salsa, cilantro, and crunchies, and the Habanero Heat Stroke layered with fresh habanero slices over salmon shrimp tempura.
