“Food was great and the female wait staff were so nice but the male kitchen staff made my friend and I quite uncomfortable with so much staring at one point it seemed all of them were out in the front and were staring so much. No hate to the restaurant but i’d like to comment on it because this sort of stuff can be very uncomfortable for women I’m just trying to enjoy a meal and don’t want men staring for no reason.“
“There’s something for everyone here. From a sushi roll to the bento combo. I treated myself, Sunday night dinner was the Cali roll and steak bento combo, came with the soup and salad. Everything was spectacular. You’re hard pressed to find a better meal.“
“Came in and was assisted right away. I got a regular size with rice and 3 scoops of protein. Good options for toppings as well. They mixed the proteins with your choice of sauce, which I wish they would also drizzle it on top before putting the toppings. There was not enough sauce in my opinion. Overall good place to try, and also the location is great since its close to the beach and carlsbad village!“
“I honestly was reluctant to come here because it's super cute and sometimes super cute means the food isn't great but I was proven wrong. The food had a ton of flavor and even the cute character buns had plenty of filling. The teens ordered the chicken and ube bao bao buns. My husband and I got the bulgogi beef fries and both girls ordered yakisoba.Warning: they over state the wait time on their app. We were walk-ins and were told 45 minutes, the app said an hour and 15. We waited maybe 10 minutes at best.“
“The food was really good. I was amazed by the speedy service. The service was amazing as they were really nice and kept checking on us. The outdoor atmosphere was great, however, there was only one restroom and it was always occupied. Other than that, I will return to this location. Great job.“
“Man it's really gone down in quality and quantity since the last time I visited. I got the spicy chicken which was salty and tasted different then I remember. My so got the new orange chicken. We switched plates. The Orange chicken had a nice orange flavor. I remember when they'd give you enough to share. The lettuce wraps were still good, but they no longer offer the 3 chilies you can mix to you're liking of heat level. I won't be going back anytime soon.“
“Absolutely crushed our expectations!The French Kiss was an absolute delight of flavors, The pork belly robata absolutely melted in our mouths, and the Summer roll (on its little skewers) was fresh and delightful.Even our dessert, the butterscotch pudding, was full of surprises. The addition of the black sesame seeds and the crushed cookies added so much complexity without taking anything away from a good, solid, creamy pudding.I did have to ding them one star on service though, as we went through our entire meal without receiving a single refill on our sodas. We didn't ask for one, but still, we shouldn't have to. Also, we asked for straws and they never arrived.Still, not enough to Mar the experience. 10/10 will come back.Parking: The parking lot in front of the place is very, very small. The Chase Bank lot across the street is for customers only during the day and a paid lot after. However, if you enter the lot and then keep going, there is free parking in a lot just on the far side of the Bank. It's really not that far of a walk to get the free parking.“
“I have one word to say....LEGIT!!! This place is absolutely legit. So nice to have some legit cultural food here in Carlsbad!! The walnut prawns are the absolute best I have ever had and they are my favorite so that is saying a lot. Prices were absolutely reasonable for what you get. We did not have to wait and the service was perfect!!“
“As you enter you will be greeted by the pleasant smells of the various dishes served here. This location is spotless, with excellent customer service and delicious food. The food here goes above and beyond any other location I've visited. If you are into spice, I have to recommend the firecracker chicken, it is a game changer for chicken entree's.“
“J Box @ The Island is by far my favorite lunch spot. I come here at least 1-2 times per week.They have the freshest Poke around. They really ruined all the other Poke places for me because every time I try one - I always compare it to theirs and it is never as good.“
“Stopped at their booth in Balboa Park during the Lunar New Year festival. Their prices were very reasonable with a 3-for-$10 on steamed buns. We got chicken and mushroom and cabbage and mushroom. So good! The fillings were plentiful and flavorful and the buns were tasty and perfectly steamed! Will def buy from them again next time we see them!“
“You can't go wrong with any item here. We ordered a range of items from Mopu Tofu, Trio Kung Pao, Eggplant, to the garlic green beans with shrimp. Everything was so good! The lady we picked up the takeout from was so sweet and accommodating. I cannot wait to return!!!“
