One of the best experiences I've ever had. And the most entertaining dinner I'ever had - all thanks to the chef! I called to make a last minute reservation which they happily accommodated. Upon my arrival, they took me and my friend to our seats at the sushi bar where we were served by one of the chefs himself. I unfortunately did not get his name but he was so sweet and funny. We decided to play Dealer's Choice tonight, letting the chef pick our choice of sushi. He gauged my preferences, making sure nothing too out of my comfort zone. He then recommended an array of fish that I had not tried before. Oh boy, they were amazing. My personal favorites were Toro, Mackerel, and Golden Snapper. It's a small restaurant so if you can make a reservation, please do so. Otherwise they are pretty accommodating. It's definitely a family-owned business so please be patient with the chefs and waitstaff. You don't rush artist for a reason!
We love this place! Excellent food, fresh sushi, great service and entertaining sushi chef!!
Legit sushi restaurant! Glad we found it. Staff is all Japanese and chef is considered a Sushi King by Eater
My go-to sushi spot in Encinitas ticks all the boxes, from the service to the food. It's a small spot but has a lot of charm. Ryan, the owner, consistently makes our visits special by going above and beyond.
Ambiance & service was 5/5. Very authentic Japanese restaurant in North County. Saw some reviews before saying service was slow, however, my husband and I were sitting the sushi bar and we would get our order within less than 5 minutes of placing it, so definitely no concerns there. Sushi would be a 4.7/5 in my opinion. Still really good, not necessarily the best we've had, but definitely the best we've tried up in North County! We tried the caterpillar roll, rainbow roll, toro nigiri, tuna nigiri, salmon nigiri, and scallop nigiri. My favorites were the rainbow roll and toro nigiri! But overall, the fish was soft and buttery. Would come again!
Loved this sushi restaurant! I believe it's owned by a couple: the wife is the sushi chef and the husband, Ryan, helps run it? Anyway, Ryan was soooo helpful and patient in making a reservation for me...which I changed a few times -_- but he was always so nice when calling me back. 5 stars for service alone! Now onto the important stuff...the food! We sat at the sushi bar and ordered the amberjack sashimi plate, a cali roll, spider roll and a bunch of sushi: toro, halibut, uni, scallop, unagi and kinmedai. All of it was really fresh and really good. If I'm ever in Carlsbad again, will definitely eat here again.
