Glass box is the real deal! Super fresh ingredients, killer omakase menu, and a chill vibe. Feels like a trip to Japan without the flight. Service is top-notch, and every bite is a flavor explosion. If you're craving authentic sushi, this place nails it. Ethan the executive chef is the man. Highly recommend!

At Glass Box, they offer an unparalleled seafood selection sourced from the freshest and most sustainable sources. From succulent shrimp to exquisite sashimi & nigiri, every dish is meticulously crafted to showcase the natural flavors of the sea. The skilled chef Ethan Yang is passionate about seafood, ensuring each bite is a culinary delight.

The chef has a unique and creative fusion approach. There is also a wide spectrum of flavor profiles here. You can find dishes you’ve never tried before here. The dining area is great for all occasions - anywhere from casual to semi formal hangouts. The team here also makes it a point to procure the freshest ingredients. I highly recommend giving it a try! I do want to note that this is not a quick in and out spot, so block off enough time to enjoy your experience here.

Absolutely fabulous meal! Executive Chef Ethan provided wonderful custom made rolls based on our likes and dislikes. We sat inside the box which was a cool ambiance. I don’t remember the names of what we ate, but we had a salmon with aioli sauce that was cooked under a flame and it was too good for words!Highly recommend!!

This is hands down the best sushi place in San Diego. Let the chef do the magic and let him serve you what comes to his mind. You will taste many delicious dishes that you will remember!

What a cool and surprising find. We were craving sushi and came across some good reviews on Glass Box. So glad we found it. The omakase was maybe the best sushi experience we’ve ever had. Chef Ethan is a wizard with flavor combinations - his sauces and techniques enhanced every bite. The variety was so good. We had things we would not normally order and they were all amazing. The saba, amaebi, salmon and toro were our favorites. The miso soup was the best we’ve ever had. Can’t say enough good things about the care and skill in preparing our meal. Outstanding!!

Fantastic place to sit for a meal. Amazing taste in a number of different meals they have to offer. The saki here is Fantastic. I would recommend the Joto Yuzu sake, it's a little expensive but wow the flavor and taste is unique, it's hard to believe its alcoholic. The chefs here really know what they are doing and they have wonderful service.

One of the best sushi spots I've had in San Diego and I have been to quite a few but the freshness of the salmon and tuna was top notch!

Very nice and quick service. They have a good amount of options on the menu and the food tastes pretty good. I ordered Belly of the Pig and it comes with a really good amount of pork, highly recommend. Also tons of parking available in the plaza.

First time here and everything was top notch, from the nice Japanese whiskey selection to some of the best sushi I've had. This is definitely one of the best spots at SkyDeck, cocktails are so good!
