Lumi San Diego Reviews from The Last Year
The lighting on the rooftop was funky and when you take
The lighting on the rooftop was funky and when you take pictures of the food, it looks washed out. The music was too loud.
A very interesting fusion of Japanese and Peruvian cuisine.
As a vegetarian, there were a lot of options available to me. The miso eggplant and cauliflower tempura appetizers were so delicious! The mixture of umami flavors surprised me and left me wanting more. The green sauce they used in a lot of the dishes was amazing - like jalapeño cilantro based with something more. The "eat your veggies" was my favorite. I love that it features okra on it. It took a bit longer to get our food, but the wait was worth it. The music was too loud, but after a while we were able to block it out.
Just perfect!!!
Boy am I glad I didn't listen to the other reviewers. I don't know what was off the night you were there but Lumi is amazing! The food is terrific, the service is impeccable and the vibe is just off the charts! We came for a late dinner after our flight was delayed, and they couldn't have been more welcoming! Pearl and Lucas were stand outs. The atmosphere was fun and chill, great music. We sat outside and we were more than warm with the heaters going (we took out jackets off!!!) We ordered the special Box which had 9 types of Sashimi, beautifully presented in dry ice, a bit of flair and absolutely delicious. It's a fair price too, $50 per person, and each person got 9 pieces. It was one of the yummiest sashimi plates I've ever eaten! The sashimi pizza is definitely a not miss and we had the Surf and turf roll which was the perfect ending to the meal. We were satisfied but not over stuffed. (The menu looked so good that we could have easily ordered a bunch of other things!!!) The cocktails were beautiful and delicious, you MUST try the slushie!!!! We didn't have dessert, they have 2 options but honestly the roll was a good instead of dessert compromise. I would come back here in a heartbeat and I hope that my review jumps the ranking up to where it deserves to be! I only wish we had places like this in the SF Bay area!!!

Food was exceptional! Service was good, only knock is that
Food was exceptional! Service was good, only knock is that they required a 20% gratuity and they add an additional 5% service charge "for healthcare" I personally don't like that because all in all that's an extra 25% on top of your bill that is already pricey as it is. I'd rather have them just charge more lol. But overall positive experience and great quality!
I ordered 4 dishes.
I would not have assumed from looking at reviews that I would still be hungry after that! But everything was very small portions. The eggplant skewer was delicious. Thinly sliced eggplant, fire grilled, and doused in a sweet but salty miso sauce. You get two skewers with about 2-3 bites on each skewer. The charred yellowtail roll was also very good. The miso soup was a bit too salty - I just wanted to heat up a bit since the seating is outdoors! They do have heaters that they can put near you which helps. The pizza was my biggest disappointment because EVERYONE on here has hyped it up, along with the servers. I don't get the hype at all. The crust is a super thin fried flour tortilla, which was a miss for me. The tuna was super thinly sliced and tender, but tasted a bit too fishy to me. It was missing some avocado and perhaps a bit more substance. For $32 I expect it to at least be a substantial appetizer! Service was top notch, servers constantly clearing, refilling water, and friendly. Nice view and atmosphere. But for $100 to not be full...not sure I'd return. FYI I don't know how often this happens but their elevator is out of service and you do need to walk up 4 flights of stairs to get there.
The sushi had a strange aftertaste.
The ambiance was nice and the service was good however, I would not come back for their rolls
They make up how long the wait will be when checking in
They make up how long the wait will be when checking in late. Very weird. Told 10min wait, checked back in to the tune "it might be another 30 to an hour I can't tell you exactly"
Darby was great! The food was amazing but her drink
Darby was great! The food was amazing but her drink recommendations were fire! Highly recommended for date night no worries about the quality!
Rooftop Romance
Relax and drink in the fabulous weather on this fantastic rooftop. Be warned… order one thing at a time… we didn’t, and ended up starting with our main- but it all worked out and the staff was wonderful. Make sure you get the sushi pizza!!! It was absolutely delicious and not pizza like at all!
My favorite restaurant in all of San Diego and I've lived
My favorite restaurant in all of San Diego and I've lived here 25yrs. I think that says it all. The staff is so friendly! And the place is beautiful. I always sit at the fire pits. I go with my best friend but I also went with my family for my bday this yr,
Beautiful rooftop bar with live DJ playing house music.
The truffle pizza is delicious but super small (snack-sized, for one person-small). The service is not the best. We were told by the hostesses downstairs there was space for a party of two at the bar. We headed up. There was no space at the bar. There were plenty of empty tables-I'm talking more than five empty tables, and they told us they couldn't seat us. We made a reservation via Open Table on the spot (reservation at 9:30PM), and they still made us wait past 9:40PM to sit us because they were looking for menus. -.- They could have just sat us, and then looked for the menus. The sushi rolls are hit or miss.
Incredible food, beverages, and service.
Stacey and Andres were so on point in providing us everything we could ever need in our dining experience and helped us have the best time possible. Special shout out to them for making this such a great night out
Lumi is a delicious, fresh and fun vibed eatery in gorgeous
Lumi is a delicious, fresh and fun vibed eatery in gorgeous downtown san diego. From Taking the inviting elevator up to the third floor, to the amazing dishes we enjoyed, you are in for a treat! The tempura fried shrimp was light, airy and extremely flavorful atop a delectable aioli sauce. a must try is the wagyu nigiri. This meat literally melts in your mouth topped with the thinnest pieces of ginger and a perfect spice wasabi. My veggie roll was so beyond perfect and clean tasting. The service.. this is why i am giving it a four star. When we arrived upstairs, we were barely greeted, the nice young man was repeating that he's having tablet issues. after about 5 min, he takes us to a table right next to the chefs preparing culinary greatness. A server came over and poured us water that was warm. I should have asked for ice or the water should have been ice cold. Our amazing server ( i wish i remembered her name!) came over and took our order and was absolutely delightful. Then a different male server comes over and started pouring water into our just filled and full glasses and walks away. The two servers , one male one female who brought us our food.. awful. The female tossed my dish , my order of shrimp in front of my husband. No words , literally tosses it on the table. The male server who brought food was a bit clueless and just slid the dishes on the table and walked away. Odd. The food and atmosphere are wonderful. The servers need some lessons in manners except our kick ass person who took our order.
Once upon a time Lumi was only open for dinner! Now your
Once upon a time Lumi was only open for dinner! Now your brunch options downtown have just expanded. Complete with a stellar DJ spinning tunes from the 70s to the present, a delicious menu with an awesome Japanese "pancake" and outstanding guacamole brioche toast is waiting for you. We also had the yellowtail sushi whose flavors exploded in your mouth. We loved the signature cocktails, and Ziya, our server, was most knowledgeable and attentive. To complete the decadent meal, we closed out with a most unique chocolate dessert in the shape of a cigar. Yummm! We can't wait to return!
No justification for coming here again.
.. Took my girlfriend here for her 21st birthday. The good: ambiance was nice on the rooftop, we were seated next to the kitchen that you can see in. Not too cold until the half end of the dinner. The okay: service was okay. Our server was nice, but we weren't greeted or anything until 10 or more minutes after seating, and we were about to leave to go to another restaurant, but then our server came. The bad: I have to say this place was painfully "not worth your money." This was the first time I've ever requested to speak to the chef due to bad food. The executive chef and the 2nd in command chef were both gone, so I had to talk to the who I assume was the manager. I had told her the chicken karage was basically the worst chicken I've ever had, which is not a hyperbole or exaggeration. It was semi crunchy, EXTREMELY BLAND - and when I say bland I mean there is no taste at all, no salt or seasoning to be found within a ten mile radius, no chicken taste. It came with a sauce that you can spot in my pictures, but the sauce was "alright" and there was so little of it compared to the chicken and even when pairing the two it could not save it. I tried dipping it in the soy sauce and the chicken just tasted like pure soy sauce. It was irredeemable. Thankfully at the end of service when talking to the manager she comped it. She was very nice and understanding, and told us that she agreed that it was lacking flavor. After the chicken we were scared to waste more money so we decided to get the chef's choice which included more food and just leave to get food after. The chef's choice also found in my pictures was ONE HUNDRED THIRTY FIVE DOLLARS. It was enough food to split between two people as a small meal or snack even. The roll had an off putting sourness to it that cut through the tasting of other ingredients. The other pieces were fine, but it wasn't anything mind blowing. The quality was fine. Compared to how much it would cost at any other regular sushi place which is more or less 65 dollars, it was a total rip off. The price also wasn't listed on the menu. The sushi did not justify the price at all. The bill with the karage, sake flight, and the chef's choice sushi combination with a 20 dollar tip came out to 202 dollars (with 10 dollars taken off from the comped chicken). The rolls were over 30 dollars after tax so we got the chef's choice in the assumption it would be less expensive as you're ordering more food, but I was wrong, for the price of that I could've just gotten four rolls and had more food. My jaw honestly dropped when I saw the bill. Half the rolls also had asparagus which my girlfriend doesn't like so there was not much to pick from. I've had two experiences that made me vow to not go to resteraunt archetypes again Puesto - a "elevated" Mexican restaurant that basically was overpriced white washed mexican food that gave me the epiphany to never go to expensive Mexican because the food will be overpriced garbage And This place, Luma, I won't be going to an expensive sushi/japanese restaurant for a long time. Not worth your time or money. All you can eat sushi is infinitely a better choice. Also learned that having a Michelin star chef making the menu doesn't mean it will be good. That's also a let down.
I don't get why this place is so recommended the food is
I don't get why this place is so recommended the food is awful, we had to wait forty minutes for our table even with a reservation. Service is eh. The chicken katsu was so bad we stopped after two bites. The rice was the exact same as rice a roni. The poor host at the front looked miserable to be there and I agree with him. I wish they would've given out table away rather than waste my birthday dinner here.

The food here was so fresh and delicious! My boyfriend and I didn't even try the sushi, which is what Lumi is known for, and we were still blown away by the flavors and pure deliciousness of the food.

Lumi is a elegant Japanese restaurant, conveniently located
Lumi is a elegant Japanese restaurant, conveniently located on 5th Avenue in the Gaslamp Quarter. The interior is well appointed, with stylish, modern decor. The rooftop dining area offers some of the best views of downtown San Diego. Service is efficient and friendly! I'd highly recommend the sake flight. The fresh and clean option is best for individuals new to sake. The flight is served with an information card, detailing tasting notes and suitable pairings. The Akira Back pizza, whose namesake is the principal chef of the restaurant, is exceptional and itself worth a visit! Ingredients are fresh and is a generous portion. The truffle oil sets this dish apart. Dessert options are limited, but offer a fun take on non-food items, such as cigars. The Akira Back cigar is fashioned like a cigar, but is entirely edible. Lumi is an excellent spot for a date. Diners will enjoy and exquisite meal in a contemporary setting. Enjoy!
Food was delicious! 4/5 BUT not worth the price.
The service on the other hand was bad. The server came to us 3 times. She took our order, brought us our food and gave us the check. If it was a busy night I'd be more understanding but it wasn't busy at all. I felt as if I was an outcast. The tables around us were constantly checked on and helped but no one ever came to us. We waited 15 mins for the waitress to get back to us just for us to pay. Then when it came to tipping of course she FINALLY decides she wants to try and have a conversation with us. The ambience is LOUD. Even the women at the table next to us were screaming at each other just to have a conversation. Definitely would NOT recommend.
Lipstick on a pig
We are a group of 25-40 year old foodies from the U.S. and Italy. We all have dined at over fifteen Michelin star restaurants, including 4 two stars and one three stars. Thankfully, money is not a problem, and we all agree that even a lot of money for a memorable culinary experience is most definitely well spent. However, unfortunately this is an example of a restaurant that is 6 at best, and thinks they are worth a 10. We went in 5 for a work-related dinner, excited to try the best the restaurant had to offer. The ambience was intriguing and the vibe nice, but the elevator to the rooftop was slow and we had to check in twice (downstairs and upstairs). Not a problem, if it wasn’t that the second time they couldn’t find our reservation, and had to make sure we were actually on the list. They end up sitting us outside in a nice table, with our server trying their best to be as nice and responsive as possible. So far, so good, with minor, negligible hiccups. We all ordered a chef’s menu with drink pairing. Unfortunately, the whole dinner took around 4h, and it got chilly pretty fast, though the overhead heating wouldn’t work just on top of our table. Instead of telling us straight, they pretended they forgot to do it for three times, and at the fourth time we explicitly called them out and they admitted it wouldn’t work. Now to the actual dinner. We open with the chef’s highlight, a thinly sliced mini focaccia with on top a slice of tuna with truffle olive oil and jalapeño - all served on a cheap, colored light blinking, plastic disc (non-edible). While good, you could tell they are trying real hard and attention to details was obviously scarce, as gleaned from the chef’s name printed on low res ink on top of the paper disc separating the plastic apparatus from the mini-pizza (3 inch diameter?) sitting on top. From there, the whole dinner was an uphill battle, with pairing either missing or randomly showing up either before, after the paired dish, or - at least twice out of the 7 courses - not at all. The 7 courses barely fill you up - which is kind of concerning giving the final bill of over 1200$ (in 5, pre-tip). Overall, the quality was “meh” at best. The steak was beyond “well done”, a crime against that poor bovine that gave their life to be shamefully mistreated on the grill. The branzino was good, but not exceptional. The mini salad was randomly sitting on top of a gallon of tasteless sour cream/crème fraiche - had better salad at the work canteen. The nigiri plate was meh. Had way better sushi in landlocked regions of this country, which is a shame giving the seafood scene in San Diego and the 5 min walking distance from the marina. Overall, you can put a lipstick on a pig, and you can even go to bed with it, but when you wake up in the morning you feel like you have done something wrong/against your sober will, which is pretty much how the whole table feels this morning on the day after…

Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate |
Yes unfortunately they are finding more and more ways to lock up sellers money. Sell thru rate, refund rate, limiting withdrawal amounts ler day and per month (which for me are the same number which makes no sense). Lot of sellers leaving as you can see from the lifetime sales not really increasing. Most posts on here are frustrated sellers which is not a recipe for success

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
