“TJ Oyster Bar in Bonita, CA, is an absolute gem! The seafood is exceptionally fresh, and the flavors are nothing short of spectacular. From the mouthwatering fish tacos to the delightful ceviche, every dish is a testament to their commitment to quality. The casual yet inviting atmosphere, paired with friendly service, makes it a standout dining experience. If you're a seafood lover, TJ Oyster Bar is a must-visit destination. Five stars without a doubt!“

“I'm about to bring you the peoples! Ok peoples, want to go out on a taco Tuesday? Nothing beats $2 tacos! Real tacos at that! Came here from a FB event that popped up on my feed and thought to myself... we gotta go! Made the trek here, the location of off Bonita rd with plenty of parking. It is a restaurant bar but gives more of bar vibes. The bar is VERY large but didn't partake in any alcoholic drinks. We came for TACOS! I was surprised to see that we were the only other customers there, only one other table had people so our food came out very quick. A plus for us... but if you want taco Tuesday with a not so busy place this is it! The tacos available were carne asada, pollo, fish, tripitas and a few others that I can't remember but they don't skip out on the options. The only reason I'm giving it 4 instead of 5 stars and this is more of a personal preference is that the tortillas were kinda hard along the edges and didn't seem fresh to me. They had a good flavor nonetheless and the meat in the tacos was on point! Our server was very nice and attentive, made our visit an easy one. We might make it our Tuesday spot moving forward just need more fresh tortillas :)“
“Very popular and well loved fine dining but casual Little Italy institution. Beautiful expansive horseshoe bar. Of the four of us, I was the only critic of the food. The ingredients are top-notch, but my salad was too acidic. My braised beef cheeks, a generous portion, were oddly crisped but tender on the inside. The broth was, surprise, acidic. Previously, I had the Branzino wrapped in spec (bacon), which was too salty in that it obliterated the taste of the branzino. Then again, everyone else enjoyed their meals.“
“Always a wonderful experience whenever we dine here. Mitch and Alex are fantastic servers who are ready to offer suggestions on food items and beverage selections. They are knowledgeable, friendly, and understand how to connect with their customers. A few of our favorite items are the Seafood Tower, Oysters Rockefeller, Octopus a la Plancha, Rockfish Ceviche, Shrimp Aguachile, Crab and Artichoke Dip, Crab Cakes, and Clam Chowder. The bar program is outstanding and the choices pair well with the seafood. This is our favorite place to come and celebrate special occasions and it never disappoints!“
“Just go. You’ll be glad you did. A group of us were in San Diego for a convention and decided we wanted some sushi. After some quick research I came across Makai as the only 5-star rated sushi place. I was a little suspicious because restaurants just don’t get 5-stars. There’s always an unhappy customer, right? Well, we took the chance and I’m thrilled we did. The owner is the chef and he was extremely welcoming and his sushi was, no kidding, among the best I’ve ever had. I had the Godzilla sushi bowl and the combination of seafood, rice, sauce, avocados were perfect. I could hear everyday. And, I’ve had sushi all over the country and throughout the world. Some really swanky places. Makai is different. I’s personal. Not pretentious. The food is amazing, but the experience rivals it in it’s feeling of authenticity. Will be watching for this place to grow as people find this awesome place.“
“Eddie, confirmed he’s not the owner, really took good care of us! The seafood tower we ordered was good but the oysters are rather small (a disappointment). The shrimp entree was excellent and rather meaty! Absolutely love the Crab meat fried rice on the side, very good value!!! My colleague said that the sea bass is delicious but not sure what’s the meaning of Hong Kong style ???The atmosphere of the restaurant is on the posh side. Everyone is very attentive and strive to provide good service! This is a restaurant we chose for business meal, so it served the purposes.“
“My husband and I did date night last night. It was our second time here! Absolutely love it! Service each time was excellent. You can tell they see the value of providing excellent service. The food was piping hot and delicious. So happy to have such a great restaurant in our neighborhood. I hope everyone goes there to support this special place!!“
“It was just a beautiful, tasty, artful experience. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, and feels straight out of Japan. The staff are attentive and kind. The reservation system is annoying, but once you get in it makes sense. They have a tiny seating capacity and I believe that's critical to the quality of their food.You have to get the full 2hr omakase. It's an incredible journey from start to finish. I've had sushi all over the world, this is some of the best I've ever tasted. If you sit at the bar (which you must try and do) you can watch their three sushi chefs prepare the fish right in front of you. If you're not used to Japanese flavors and textures, definitely come with an open mind! Most of the pieces they serve aren't the norm in American Japanese restaurants.I went for my birthday and the chef pulled a guitar out of nowhere and serenaded Happy Birthday with the staff. I've been twice and it's absolutely worth the price tag.“
“We’re from out of town but were craving some good fish tacos. TJ’s did not disappoint! We got the octopus, ahi tuna, garlic shrimp, taqueso shrimp, and smoked tuna tacos. The octopus and smoked tuna were our favorites! Our server was extremely helpful and provided great service.“
