The place was nice but the bartenders were prejudice and ignored me in favor of other clients.

Overpriced sushi you get more rice then anything else. Service takes forever short staff ?

Came here with a reservation, and we opted to sit outside. Hannah gave great customer service! Drinks were strong, and food was great! Other than $1 oysters my favorite was the golden dragon rolls! Would definitely come back to try the AYCE sushi on Thursday's!

The food at Elicit is fantastic. We had $1 oysters which were amazing, and two sushi rolls that really were top-notch. However, the food is the only good thing about this restaurant. The past two times I have been here, the service has been very poor. There is a long wait for everything from menus to water. The servers are not knowledgeable about the menu and not friendly. There are dirty tables, bottles of sanitizer, and wet rags everywhere. The restaurant itself needs repairs. I won't be returning.

The all you can eat was okay. I had the spicy tuna which was delicious, the California roll was nothing special bland, tempura shrimp was good. I would say the chives are mediocre nothing great. I made a reservation for one and I was so close the the bathroom is was more embarrassing and uncomfortable. Tables are so small and very low. Very limited selection. Don't have high expectations!

Went to their 25 per person all u can eat sushi. Only allowed 2 rolls per person. Selection is great. Only set back is when order more rolls, they take a long time. Recommend to be there for at least an hour

Took myself to Sycuan Resort on a staycation and wanted to treat myself to a nice solo dinner. Had the seasoned edamame, veggie bao buns that were incredible, and two virgin margaritas (non-drinker). Sushi is all you can eat on Thursdays! Inside is very upscale but patio seating overlooking the pool and dehesa valley is my preference. Better service than I expected as well… very pleased.

Arrived at 9pm to have dinner and waited at the host stand for 10 minutes for the manager who saw us standing there to finally decided to get up from the table he was sitting at and seat us. The place was practically empty with only 3 tables and it took another 20 min for the bartender to finally come over to take our order, another 20 minutes to get our drink order. The food was mediocre and the service sub par! The oysters were the smallest oysters I've ever seen, the spicy tuna roll was plain white rice around the tiniest piece of tuna, definitely missing presentation, I've bought supermarket sushi that was more appealing! The mango cheesecake was the only redeeming part of the meal! If you're looking for good customer service and good sushi Elicit is not it!
Not staffed properly, waited 30 minutes before our drinks showed up (after my Wife had to remind the waitress to remind the bartender). Food finally arrived, but had to be brought to us by the Manager and he had to go back for needed condiments. Have eaten here many times before and the staffing/service was tolerable because a concert was not scheduled, but on a night when extra business is expected they should plan accordingly. Using that fake pandemic as an excuse has gotten old.

The place is not a great option if you're looking to spend money on a good meal. The sushi rolls are thick with rice to make patrons not order more than two rolls. The service was not very good. I felt hassled to get out of the restaurant as I sat down. The sushi bar is not really a sushi bar with few seats available. I'd recommend any other place at Sycuan.
Service is slow. Other than that, staffs are friendly, quick, courteous, polite and beautiful. Food is delicious. Ambiance is classy and outdoor seating is great . Thumbs up ??

The food was awesome. I was a bit disappointed the floor wasn't swept at my table. I told the hostess about the dirty floor & she said "usually the floor is cleaned at night". I would go back but they need to try harder.

It was a nice seating area. Very calm and the servers were very polite but the only thing that I strongly disliked and that might stop me from coming here again was the wait time. We waited two hours to eat only 6 rolls of sushi on Thursday where it should be unlimited sushi for $25. Very disappointed. They should hire more sushi chefs.
