Japanese delicacy at Tajima - Clairemont Mesa

There are two Tajima's in San Diego, one in the Convoy area and one in Clairemont Mesa. Both serve a variety of Japanese dishes, including noodles, sushi and small dishes of snacks akin to snacks you'd order at a bar. Tajima, particularly the newer store in Clairemont Mesa, seems to have a menu catering to the after-work crowd. Since the dishes are in small portions, you can order try many different ones at a time, i.e. fried squid legs, fried chicken wings etc.

The taste:
I love appetizers in general, so the small portion dishes at Tajima is right up my alley. Their many fried dishes are delicious and it's just fun to share with friends. You can't expect their sushi to be better than a sit-down sushi restaurant, so don't. Order the other dishes and Tajima does not disappoint.
