Our Story

In the heart of San Diego's vibrant Gaslamp Quarter, Shisan Fan was born from a simple, delicious vision: to bring together the artistry of Japanese sushi and the rich, comforting flavors of traditional Chinese cuisine under one roof.

We saw a need for a dining experience that offered genuine variety without compromise. Why choose between a perfect California roll and authentic Chinese flavors when you can have both? Our mission is to serve downtown residents, office workers, and visitors with a welcoming space where every dish is crafted with care and respect for its culinary roots.

From our specialty rolls to our classic Chinese dishes, every plate tells a story of fusion, quality, and a deep love for Asian cuisine. We invite you to be part of our story.

Two Culinary Worlds, One Unforgettable Experience

At Shisan Fan, we've redefined Asian dining in San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter by seamlessly blending the artistry of Japanese sushi with the rich, comforting flavors of traditional Chinese cuisine. This unique fusion isn't just a menu—it's a culinary philosophy designed for today's diner.

Unmatched Variety & Convenience

Why choose between sushi and Chinese food when you can have both? Our dual-concept menu means everyone in your group finds something to love, from delicate sashimi to hearty stir-fries, all in one convenient downtown location.

Perfect for Groups & Diverse Tastes

Planning a lunch with coworkers or a dinner with family? Our fusion approach eliminates the debate. Share a platter of Spicy Tuna Rolls alongside classic Kung Pao Chicken for a truly communal and satisfying meal.

Culinary Innovation on Your Plate

Experience creative dishes that draw inspiration from both traditions. Imagine the delicate texture of a Philadelphia Roll meeting the bold, savory notes of a Szechuan glaze—a testament to our chefs' innovative spirit.

Visit us at 332 J Street and discover the best of both worlds. Open daily from 12:00 PM to 10:30 PM.
