Randomly got at this place and it was a pleasant surprise, I love poke/sushi and the bowl I got was fresh and tasty. The place was clean and the staff was really nice. If you want something specific that is not in the menu they can do it for you. I will definitely comeback and I will recommend to family and friends.

Hooked on Sushi delivers an exceptional dining experience from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is warm, inviting and relaxed, and the staff greets you with genuine enthusiasm. The service is outstanding. Every team member is attentive and knowledgeable, and they create a comfortable and welcoming environment for every guest.
The food is the true standout. The fish is incredibly fresh and prepared with real care and skill. Each roll arrives with clean presentation and bold flavor. The specialty rolls are creative without being overwhelming, and the balance of texture and taste shows the attention to detail in the kitchen. Every bite feels thoughtful and expertly crafted.
The portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable for the quality you receive. It is rare to find a place that offers this level of freshness and consistency without a high price tag. Hooked on Sushi manages to deliver top tier sushi with excellent value.
Whether you are stopping in for a quick lunch or enjoying a relaxed dinner with family and friends, this restaurant offers a memorable experience every single time. Hooked on Sushi is easily one of the best sushi restaurants in the area and is absolutely worth a visit.
Strongly recommended.

We checked out the lunch specials and found several great options at reasonable prices.
The menu also has many interesting roll options with pictures, which I really appreciated.
The sushi chefs are out in the open and you can watch them but there are no seats at the sushi bar which I found a little odd but they have probably have a reason.
Service was quick and efficient—the staff wasn't overly friendly but they were very on top of things, even when it got busy.
A solid option; I'll be back.

Unless you’re dining in, any online or delivery order will always be incorrect. I’ve ordered twice online and either I was missing an item or they put the wrong roll in my bag. From the looks of other reviews on here, seems like “online orders/delivery” is a known issue. However, I can say when dining in the customer service is great and of course my what I ordered was correct.

I call and ordered a California Lagoon sushi roll, got the California roll instead, girls on the front taking orders really need to do a better job at this, it’s not the first time this happens.
**Carlsbad location only** My favorite sushi place in north county San Diego! I am half Japanese and grew up in a Japanese household, so I tend to be very picky when it comes to Japanese food. The Hooked On in Carlsbad has fresh sushi that doesn’t leave you feeling bloated after. I usually get the vitamin roll (see roll with a flower in the picture) and they use fresh crab instead of imitation, which I LOVE. It does have fresh lime on top, so it’s definitely for citrus lovers. Their Mexican roll is also delicious if you love some spice and heartiness in your rolls. Staff is always on top of it and friendly. Prices aren’t crazy. 10/10 recommend and so does my family!

Most delicious take-away sushi. Quite expensive, so I usually only order for a special occasion, but this is truly the best sushi in Carlsbad. Sent a friend a bento box from here while they recovered from surgery. Said that the food made their day!

Quality sushi and good service, but one of our rolls had a mustard taste that did not sit well with us.

Even though I ordered take out, I've eaten here before. People in the KNOW of Sushi eat here. If you are in the mood for a no nonsense sushi plate THIS place sums it up. It is a little weird how the door is where some people pay.ales it hard to stand inside the place without being in the 'way' and if you stand outside some people who just don't have manners just ho and 'hover' right over the people trying to pay. I wish there was a small entry way to avoid this but it doesn't adversely affect my opinions of the place being great.
