Sushi Tadokoro

In Old Town, Sushi Tadokoro has built its reputation around traditional sushi, nigiri and sashimi in a compact dining room on San Diego Ave. For October 2026, though, a visit turns on a change announced by the restaurant itself: it will close October 1–22 and reopen Friday, October 23 with omakase-only service. The restaurant also said lunch and à-la-carte dining would end in September. That changes the character of a meal: the new format is a chef-led sequence, not a casual stop to order a few individual pieces.

The announced omakase format gives the coming visit a clear purpose: follow the kitchen’s choices rather than compose a dinner piece by piece. That makes the restaurant particularly relevant for people who enjoy a chef-led sushi meal and want the sequence itself to be part of the occasion. The traditional focus on nigiri and sashimi remains the culinary thread, while the change in service makes advance planning more important. In contrast with Sushi Ota’s published daily selections, Tadokoro’s next chapter puts a single directed format at the center of dinner.
