Charming local spot. The owner is a nice man and everything is fresh. Typically there is a line and you want to get there early since it usually sells out by noon. Bring cash! Pricing is very fair.

The best spot for poke bowls and sushi in town. The owner is lovely and warm. There is generally a line so you want to get there early or call in your order. Typically sells out daily. Food is fresh and amazing.

Fantastic, a real little local gem. Be early before thorns sell out, they have salmon and tuna.

Bento place run by a real Japanese fellow (and a real nice one, to boot). They know how to make proper sushi rice. Their selection is limited, and if you aren't there at opening, you run the risk of them having run out of your favorite thing.

I ordered their Spicy Salmon and Tuna Poke bowl and I am satisfied. At first I thought the portion was small compared to other places but after I finished the bowl, I was stuffed. The only thing though, it was not as spicy as I have expected. Overall, good place to go if you are craving for poke and sushi/maki rolls.Btw, they only take CASH ???.

First time we tried to go here they sold out but we weren't going to let that happen again so went earlier the next day. So fresh & they were perfectly rolled so they weren't hard to eat with sticks haha. Highly recommend the spicy tuna as well as spicy California but to be honest it is ALL good. Great service & LOVED the man at the front. So friendly & happy. All the staff thanked us for coming too.

Cute little shop where you can get a quick bite, with very fair prices all with a beautiful smile. The gentlemen working the front was extremely kind and truly loves what he does. The rest of the reviews aren't wrong. Give this place a shot, and you will want to come back. I got the mixed Poke Bowl and a 4 piece Veggie roll with 3 Inari for 18$. So, getting a delicious and nutritious meal for 10$ or under is possible.

This place is terrible. The sushi is pre-made, you have yo stand in line 45mins before they open in order to get food, they take cash only but you can't see the sign until you are at the window to order

The sushi here is the freshest I have tasted. The size of the fish in each bite of the sushi roll is quite large. You have to go early as they sell out. I usually will pay and have them hold my sushi until I get back from my walk at noon. There are two small tables to sit, self seated and first come first serve. They are the friendliest people you meet. It's cash only so come prepared. I think compared to restaurants, their sushi is more fresh and portion of the fish is larger than in sushi restaurants that serve more fillers in their rolls than the fish. Highly recommended.
Bit smaller rolls but authentic and freshly made sushi. Parking could be an issue but other than that everything about the place is awesome.I spoke to manager in Japanese and it turned out he is very humble and kind.

Hidden gem in Carlsbad Village run by a husband and wife. Get there when they open, they close when they sell out. Be patient and bring cash- worth the wait.

This is the perfect spot for simple yet high quality and authentic sushi, definitely lives up to the hype. We ordered the Fresh Salmon and Spicy Tuna rolls and they were delicious, super fresh sushi, crisp seaweed, and perfectly textured rice. I'll definitely be coming back here and highly recommend! Make sure to bring cash because they are cash only.

Absolutely LOVE the poke bowls and sushi! The stuff there is so good that the closing time is when they sell out lol The fresh ingredients and the amazing customer service makes me feel at home. My co workers and I love to grab a bite when we can! You should too
