Addison tops the list with Michelin Three Stars and a 50 Best nod, though it runs French alongside the Japanese. Lilo, LUCIEN, and SOICHI round out the top tier, each carrying a Michelin One Star. Below them, Animae's a Beard finalist and Sushi Tadokoro's Michelin Selected, both landing at Delicious. The rest is six Damn Good rooms, mostly sushi, mostly Michelin Selected, spread from Kearny Mesa to Bankers Hill.
