50 Best Sushi Bars near Encinitas

“Very nice japanese restaurant with a great variety of food and drink. The chefs are japanese and the food is authentic. I set at the bar and enjoyed not just the superb food but also the conversation with one of the chef. The crew is extremely nice. A bit pricy but not outstandingly for a good restaurant in Carlsbad.

Parking: The place is located in a shopping center with shared parking (plenty of parking places).“

“Fish Boon is very unique and really well done. You know your in for something good when your informed about the menu and there approach to dining when you first sit down. The surf and turf roll is amazing, best selection of Saki I have seen and really great service. This will be a regular destination of ours for sure.“

“Fantastic food quality. Purist food.“

“The Del Mar roll was the best sushi I have had in a long time and very filling! Ensui Sushi Bar and Grill stands up to their name. It is not the largest place, but it had 3 large TVs with March Madness on each one. I am so glad I found Ensui Sushi and will definitely be back!“

“Absolutely Delicious! SO Fresh! Great Customer service as well!“

“Delicious food, but more notable was the absolutely perfect atmosphere. Relaxing without feeling lifeless, slightly dim but not dark, jazz. I would have had a positive opinion even if I hadn't liked the food. Whoever designed it has excellent taste!“

“good sushi, and the teriyaki samon is delicious.“

“Absolutely delicious! Good service“

“Last week was the first time we visited this fine restaurant. But It is definitely not the last. We enjoyed the evening very much with the good service, with the exceptional dishes and fine drinks and with the decent price. We will surely go back there again.“

“My sister placed an order for the two of us through doordash but sadly the delivery driver cancelled. I called to see why and the lovely lady who responded said that the driver picked up the food and then cancelled on us. We were scammed by our delivery driver on doordash. The restaurant quickly dissolved the issue and we were able to get the food. The experience through the restaurant was amazing and the food is great. Messed up on the delivery drivers part but the staff here are worth coming to this place, aside from the delicious sushi.“

“Muy buenos los rollos gracias por la atención“

“Everything about this place is amazing!!! The food is to die for and service was exceptional. They work as a team so it felt like the whole staff was serving us including the chefs who also keep an eye out on you! You can tell it’s family owned, very sweet people.“

“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.“

“I thought the service was very friendly. The bowls were reasonably priced. There is a large selection of proteins and other items for the bowls. Also, the service is fast.“

“We arrive at 5 and the dine-in was closed but the sir was really kind and he let my boyfriend and I stay and have a really good dinner there, the place is amazing and the food was really good and the rolls have a really good size, he even bring us entrees and he give us some fruits and candy’s at the end. I’ll return back and I recommend this place.“

“This place is always amazing. The staff are always great and the food is so good it’s absurd. Ninja rolls all day long! Mmmmm“

“It’s was so amazing and delicious!!! First time from Texas here and will be back again… Golden“

“Pleasantly surprised by the sushi! It was actually very good and fresh sushi.
8/10 crispy rice: Definitely get the crispy rice because it was so innovative and fun to eat and obviously very delicious.
9/10 hatsukoi roll
10/10 any nigiri (especially the halibut)
9/10 blue fin tuno crudo
What also made our experience was our waiter Jaden.
I hardly write reviews about waiters, but
Jaden was one of the best waiters I’ve had in a very, very long time. He brought such a great atmosphere to the restaurant and made our night.
Definitely coming back for the food and for the service as well. There needs to be more Jadens in the world for sure.“

“The quality of the sushi is pretty good. Some were obviously not as high for the price. Service was descent. The atmosphere is pretty nice. Some things I didn't like to see were the boxes and bags being within line of sight but not uncommon, maybe just a pet peeve. However, the clearing of the table took longer than expected. Especially being sat near the entrance.“

“Amazing food! SERVICE was top tier. The tempura is amazing. Loved how I had the choice of chicken breast since I don't like thigh meat. Teriyaki sauce amazing. Hubby had soup which he loved.
My plate had Teriyaki chicken, rice, vegetables and tempura.
Yummy and amazing food. Would highly recommend!“

“Food is awesome n delicious“

“Sushi Florist Patrick crafts an exquisite culinary experience, featuring unique delights like Kama toro sashimi, Kogashima A5 Kobe Sando on Japanese milk bread, his signature desert Crispy Burnt Unagi with Nutella Eel sauce, and much more. Engaging with his artisan work is truly unforgettable. Personally, Patrick is extremely warm and charismatic.“

“I ordered sashimi at the sushi bar for lunch also had 2 piece Ikura (salmon roe) and a soft shell crab appetizer. Fish was very fresh it was obvious since they were still breaking it down in front of me. 2 guys on the sushi bar 3 in the back and one waitress. I was probably 2nd customer and only person at the bar. I got a weird look from waitress when I asked for the bar and she had to ask one of the guys if it was ok. I soon realized that it was not a real sushi bar after I looked at the menu and realized that they did not have sashimi on the menu.
When I go to a new place I usually order sashimi before I look at a menu because I know what I want.
The place filled up quick and the one waitress was running hard but the guys at the bar took care of me. Fresh fish good beer and sake I was very happy.
Music was very loud and irritating some kind of pop but the guys had no problem turning it down (they did not like it either).
I found it strange that they were pre-cutting the fish into slices but I guess if you are doing production that makes sense, I just have never seen it.
I read a lot of the reviews and part of the problem is people going to a sushi bar for something other than sushi. On the other hand if a restaurant is going to offer it it should be good.

Spent $120 after tip but it was at the coast on pch so location and all. Not to much more than my normal spot maybe $20 or so.

I was happy with my dining experience.“

“A nice ramen shop on the side of the Carlsbad mall. First time going and it was splendid to say the least. Customer service was excellent, food arrived quickly and was delicious! See images for what was ordered - it was about $80 for everything pictured before tax and tip. Next time we definitely plan to try their sushi!“

“Local Roots Solana Beach: clean, modern, and friendlier than a dog at a barbecue! Work or play, have it your way with rotating kombucha and chef's sushi menu. Wifi, TVs and indoor outdoor space make it ideal for people watching or mingling. Just a heads up, it's a bit pricer with fewer options than nearby spots like Station Sushi, but hey, quality ain't cheap! ?? ??

Also agree with other reviewers, James is a cool guy. ?“

“I always drive by this place, and decided to stop by today for a smoothie. The outdoor seating area was really cute. The service was great everyone was very friendly. I got the warrior smoothie and it tasted amazing I will definitely be back :))“

“Best Thai Restaurant in the county. Delicious, awesome service great prices.“

“I’ve never had a bad time at Glass Box! The food is amazing and the servers, sushi chefs, and management team will make you feel kind you’re a VIP from the second you walk in their establishment. I highly recommend the omakase experience!“

“Couldn’t have had a better experience!!! Everyone was so nice and happy not to mention how delicious and fresh the food was! Highly highly recommend. I came in for my birthday and they brought the yummiest dessert on the house with a candle lit and everything!!! Had the best time can’t wait to come back:“

“I must admit their fusion style is what drew us to try out this place. Unfortunately the ideas on their menu were either not stocked or even ready for the potential upcoming lunch rush (we showed up around 1130ish) so I ended ordering something i wasn't even in to. But it turned out OK- portions are small for their price.“

“everything was delicious and excellent service“

“Awesome the freshest sushi I’ve ever had“
