“I haven’t come here in over a year, but I think it’s time to address my issues. Back then I used to think it was decent, definitely not the most authentic sushi, but it was still pretty good. I still think it’s okay, but I feel like the quality and portions of food are inconsistent, some days it tastes good and some days it tastes like 💩. The drinks are good and overall I think this place is okay but just fix the portions and quality. 👍“

Tasty and enjoyable, but nothing particularly surprising.

The biggest surprise of the meal. Really flavorful, with a great combination of textures. Definitely one of my favorites.“

Very nicely decorated and comfortable seating at the bar.
The servers could bring our drinks a bit quicker, but they were very nice nonetheless.“

“Today was our first time visiting, and to be perfectly honest, this will be our new go to for sushi, even though we live in Ramona. Everything from the appetizers to the drinks and service was great. It seems like it would be a great spot for game or fight nights as well!“

“This place was really good. I got a to-go order and was really surprised at how many extra sides I got along with my two rolls. I didn't think I ordered that much but was absolutely full when I ate everything. The Philadelphia roll had a generous amount of cream cheese. I'm definitely going back for more.“

My wife and I were looking for a place to get some food prior to a concert at the Belly Up and came upon this great little restaurant. The vibe and atmosphere is very cool, the Sushi was delicious, and the service was great! The Sushi chef was very personable and friendly and even educated us on some of the Sushi rolls he was preparing, while we sat and ate at the Sushi bar.“

“Located in Del Mar Katana is officially celebrating August with a DEAL 💵 that had me doing a double-take:
40% OFF all their fresh sashimi, nigiri, AND select sushi rolls.
Yes. ALL. MONTH. LONG. 🗓

We're talking melt-in-your-mouth scallops, buttery hamachi, silky tuna, delicate halibut, and so much more that'll make your inner fish lover scream with joy. 🤩

And don't worry they didn't forget about rolls either. They've hand-picked 8 different specialty rolls that are also part of this insane deal.

Their lunch specials are great deals too. One of my faves? Their giant chirashi salad loaded with fresh fish, crispy greens, and all the good stuff for only $24.95.

If you’re not a fish eater, they have you covered as well. Their bento boxes 🍱 let you pick 1 or 2 items (think chicken, beef, or veggie options), and they come with soup, salad, and gyoza on the side.“

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

“We absolutely love this place for Ramen. I do wish the outdoor ambience was a little better. But there’s not much I can do about that being at all shopping complex. But all we really care about is the food when it comes down to it. And the Ramen is absolutely delicious. My daughter asks on a daily basis to eat here.“

“I had a 20 person event catered by Chef Patrick and it was phenomenal! Everything was wonderful. He and his staff were super attentive and fun to talk to. Really an amazing experience. Need to find an excuse now to host another Sushi event!!“

Give it a try! Your body will thank you later (:“

“I stopped at Mot’to Japanese Grill and WOW… this place seriously delivers 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I ordered the Chicken & California Roll and it was so worth it. The grilled chicken was perfectly cooked and covered in rich, flavorful teriyaki sauce, and the California roll was super fresh and tasted way better than expected. 👀 It also came with rice, miso soup, and a salad, so you’re getting a full, satisfying meal. 🤤🫶🏻

Everything tasted fresh, clean, and really well put together—not heavy, just super enjoyable. The portions were solid, the flavors were on point, and you can tell they actually care about the quality. 😊💕

Service was quick and smooth, and the staff was friendly, which made the whole experience even better. 🫶🏻

Definitely one of those spots I’ll 💯 keep coming back to when I'm here in Carlsbad - highly recommend 🙌🏼🙌🏼👌🏼👌🏼“

“It's kind of cool to eat at a sushi bar with mostly outdoor seating and sports on the TVs, though there are a few seats inside at the sushi bar itself.

Overall, it was a decent experience. The food was average and the portions were large. The service was great. For parking, there's street parking as well as a small dedicated lot behind the building.“

“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“

“A solid sushi spot with fresh food and a good variety of rolls. We were seated quickly, which was a nice bonus, and the service was friendly throughout the meal. Everything tasted good, and the presentation was nice. Overall, a pleasant experience and a good place for a casual sushi dinner.“
