Colleagues and I enjoyed a nice meal at Shimbashi Izakaya. As some were not hard core sushi/shashimi eaters, this was a good choice. The menu offered a variety of Japanese sushi options, but also some non traditional alternatives. There was a menu with pictures to aid your choices as is common in Japan. Everyoneâs meal was very good and so was our service. We ate outside and our view of the pacific was quite nice too. Prices were somewhat high as can be expected with this cuisine in the USA matched with Del Mar. Sake options were numerous, but that too was expensive. I would recommend Shimbashi Izakaya to anyone who enjoys Japanese cuisine with a view, but be prepared to pay for it.

W Live in the neighborhood so we decided to try this restaurant on a Groupon. Our initial disappointment came when we realized all the crab used in the Sushi was krab, I.e. Imitation crabmeat. After looking over the menu, we de decided to try a variety of dishes, shrimp tempura, teriyaki salmon bowl and rainbow roll sushi. While fresh, nothing was particularly well seasoned. The waiter did as little as he could to get by. Sorry, but there are too many better restaurants. We won't be back.

Been to Pokewan 4 times in the past 3 weeks....lunch and dinner. Unique concept....fresh food (portions too big). Eat-in is comfortable and can easily find a place to sit.Staff is new, but they can use some training on the menu, and how to explain the concept and ordering process.My family loves it!
