10 Best Korean Restaurants near Carlsbad

“The fish here is definitely fresh. We had a great experience. In terms of sushi, I actually feel it can be hard to find a spot that I really like in socal. This spot just does it for me. The rolls are bigger than many places I’ve been which reflects the price point but you get what you pay for. We shared just two rolls and some edamame and I’m full. Each bite is pretty massive.“

A huge shoutout to New Year, Jocelyn, and Ichen what an incredible team! They are so organized, on top of everything, and their customer service is next level!

New Year is the sweetest and makes every visit feel so special with her energy and kindness. Jocelyn is just as fantastic always making sure everything is perfect and Ichen is a rockstar! Together, they create such a fun and welcoming atmosphere that keeps me coming back again and again.
