Hibachi-San on base at Camp Pendleton is one of those spots that never disappoints. The staff is friendly, professional, and always welcoming they greet you the second you walk through the door, which makes the place feel inviting right away. The restaurant is consistently clean and well-kept, from the kitchen area to the dining tables, which says a lot about how much pride they take in their work.

The service is quick, even during the lunch rush, and the team handles every order with care. The food is fresh, hot, and cooked right in front of you, so you always know what you’re getting. Whether it’s the chicken teriyaki, beef yakisoba, or the classic fried rice, everything tastes just as good as it smells. Portions are generous, and you get great value for what you pay.

It’s clear the crew works hard to keep customers happy they remember faces, get orders right, and genuinely seem to enjoy what they do. In a fast-paced setting like Camp Pendleton, it’s nice to have a place that’s consistent, clean, and welcoming. Hibachi-San is easily one of the best food stops on base and worth coming back to every time.

They make really good poke bowls. I eat here practically every day. All of their hot and cold meats are fresh and tasty and the servers are really nice.

These people suck including their customer service.

Great spot for a quick, tasty lunch!
Hibachi San has some of the best-priced poke bowls around—super fresh and super satisfying. It’s the perfect stop if you’re craving something light but filling. I love grabbing a bowl and heading to the beach for a chill lunch with a view. The portions are generous, the flavors are on point, and the service is always friendly. Definitely one of my go-to spots! My only complaint is the portion is a bit small and they don't offer poke by the pound like in hawaii.

This is the best restaurant inside the Camp Pendleton military base ever.

Between Panda and hibachi, I choose panda

I love this place! I’m addicted to the pickled cucumbers, it makes me want to eat a poke bowl everyday!

This place is very stingy with their portions. I came here before and got a small bowl and got the shrimp as one of my proteins, I was served only 3 pieces and the employee said that is their policy.. meanwhile the manager is serving her chid free food with huge portions. I came here again and got a small bowl and asked for my 2 proteins to be ahi tuna, and they tried to charge me for an extra protein when I never asked for extra protein. Also the salmon portion has decreased dramatically, they serve bite size portions of salmon. I can recall not even a year ago the salmon was a decent portion. They shrunk the portions of proteins but the price remains the same.
