Roppongi Restaurant & Sushi Bar
“The best deal in town.” That’s how a friend described the happy hour menu at La Jolla’s Roppongi Restaurant & Sushi Bar – so of course I had to go and check it out. And sure enough, my beloved Chinese pot stickers filled with shrimp and scallops and served with Tobiko caviar sauce, normally $14.95, are now half price between 3- 6 daily. Ditto the delicious pan seared sea scallops on potato pancakes. You can view the entire menu on their website.
In fact, all the tapas and sushi rolls at Roppongi Restaurant & Sushi Bar are half price during those hours. Sadly, drinks are not discounted.
Roppongi, long a favorite with locals, is located on the corner of Prospect Street and Fay Avenue.
The Zagat Survey praised the restaurant for its “unique new Asian cuisine,” but I am also very impressed with the design, which includes a large fire pit on the patio and sophisticated lighting indoors that shows off a beautiful collection of Asian artifacts.
In addition to tapas, the restaurant serves lunch and dinner. The end date for the half price happy hour munchies has not been announced. I just hope it’s still in effect when you’re in La Jolla.
Bargains are few and far between around here – and I’d hate for you to miss this one.

About the Author (Author Profile)
I live in La Jolla and I'm a travel writer, so in addition to enjoying my home town's great weather, beautiful surroundings, and range of cultural and recreational options, I also see La Jolla - and the rest of San Diego - as a travel destination. And what I see sometimes drives me batty. People vacation in La Jolla, but don't take advantage of everything our community offers, so I decided to start this blog and provide insider advice for out-of-towners. Hey. I figure if I can write insider tips about exotic destinations on Authentic Luxury Travel, I ought to be able to lead readers off the beaten path that starts just outside my front door. In the process, I'm having fun revisiting my favorite places and discovering some new ones. Travel writers are naturally snoopy, and this blog is my excuse to have a good ol' sticky beak around my home town. I hope you find it helpful. If you are coming to La Jolla or another area of San Diego and would like my help in planning your trip, please read "Need Help Planning Your Trip" and then email me at ehansen298@aol.com.
