From the team that brought La Jolla Takaramono Sushi, Shio is an expanded Japanese dining experience steps from the beach in La Jolla Shores.

Wanting to offer a more extensive menu while still maintaining quality and creativity, owners Eugene Kim and Peter Kim have crafted a menu where fish – and flavor – are the stars.

With a full bar and enough space for a celebration or larger gathering, Shio serves innovative sashimi specialties that follow the team’s culinary approach of imbuing traditional Japanese flavors with creativity.

Two menu favorites: the hamachi special, featuring seared yellowtail, a shiro ponzu and herb oil; and a crispy spicy maguro, with spicy tuna on a cheese chip with Midori sauce.

A meal at Shio means unexpected combinations highlighted while honoring traditional Japanese fare. Reserve your spot for a memorable dining event that will have you returning again and again.
