“Fast and friendly service. Great tunes. And delicious food!!! Ordered the spam masubi-- a classic Some Mac salad-- can never have too much And the adobo fried rice-- tried something new! We ordered during the last operating hour and the staff tonight were so kind, it was lovely!! I wish I got their names, but we were helped by a young lady who took our order and two gentlemen in the kitchen cooking our food. One had tattoos, if this helps! Again-- THANK YOU!“
“We got delivery from Doordash. The food was great but we have to warn people ordering from Doordash: Our delivery person told us Doordash didn't give him his tip, and then left the food out without telling us it was delivered in front of our door. This seemed to us like a scam. We'll be contacting Doordash with pictures of screenshots of his actions. We ordered the garlic fried rice, and this lost a star because it was literally garlic mixed in with rice. Maybe we misunderstood, but the pictures definitely showed another entree than what we ordered.“
“Wow that’s some good poke. There’s a back area with games that are pretty nice. No dogs allowed. They also have happy hour with drink specials and half off appetizer. Try the Encinitas bowl. All the servers were very friendly and had a smile on their face. Great spot for poke“
“Went to Sea World over Spring break, after we left we wanted to check out Teri Cafe for dinner rather than eating in the park. Much better food and much more reasonable. This is their second location, had not been to this one before, glad we stopped, great food, great service, Ohana style vibes. You walk in and order at the counter, then seat yourself and they bring it to you. They give large portions here, which I love, not only large portions, but great food as well. Yum! I got the Dinner special #1. Coke with Teriyaki chicken, miso soup, California roll or Spicy tuna roll (for an up charge) potato salad and a huge salad. The plate it comes out on is massive and the food covers it all. I ate a good amount, but did nit finish it all. Saved some for the next day. The teriyaki chicken was tender and grilled nicely, the spicy tuna, salad, potatoes salad and the miso soup were are very flavorful and delicious. You get all that food for $17, what a deal. Our dinner for 4 cost less than what we spend at Sea World for a simple lunch. Enjoy!“
“Food is delicious. The teriyaki sauce is sweet without being too sweet. Rice is perfectly sticky. The steak is ?. The people working are the real gem. They are so nice and friendly. Patient with people who haven’t been in before. Would definitely come here anytime! The Lite Bites are perfect portion for one.“

“After eating here, I am convinced that heaven exists. I could spend a lifetime inside this restaurant and not find a single thing to improve. This is the best poke place I have ever been to in my entire life...top quality everything. There is much more than poke here too. It's clean, it's fast, it's a good price, it's delicious, and it's a lot of food.“
“Hands down best Hawaiian food. I have tried other locations and nothing compares to the authentic food they provide. Service is amazing and once you become a regular you are greeted by your name. LOVE this place and you will not be unsatisfied. Spam masubi are delicious“
“Love my surf Brothers been coming here since they opened. Amazing customer service and amazing food very simple but so good!Parking: Located in a big strip mall plenty of parkingWheelchair accessibility: Plenty of accessible wheelchair spots“
“This place has been one of my favorites for 20 years. The combo plate is delicious perfection with the meat always tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. I buy a bottle of the sauce to keep in my kitchen. The staff is always incredibly nice.“
“Great service, quick to get the food out, and food is delicious. I'm just glad there's finally a place that serves Hawaiian food in the area. The katsu curry is my staple order here. If you're tired of the regular options around the are, I highly recommend this place fo a change up.“
“We were greeted by friendly staffs on Christmas Eve. I ordered a regular poke bowl with brown rice that I had shared with my partner. They give out pretty good scoops of protein. And, because I love my toppings, my bowl was a bit overfilled. We had enough to have poke for dinner. We decided to dine in, because no one was in there. Space is pretty open and clean. We enjoyed our experience and would come back again :)“
“A Must-Visit for Poke Lovers!I had the pleasure of staying in Vista for a business trip that lasted three and a half weeks, and Lemon Shark quickly became my go-to spot for lunch. I can confidently say that this is the best poke I have ever had!Selection and QualityThe selection here is unparalleled. They offer the largest variety of toppings of any poke restaurant in San Diego county, which allows you to customize your bowl to your heart's content. The fish is locally caught and top-shelf quality, making each bite a heavenly experience.Staff and ServiceThe staff at Lemon Shark were always super friendly and attentive. They made sure my experience was enjoyable from the moment I walked in until I left. Their customer service is truly commendable.Ambiance and CleanlinessThe establishment is immaculately clean and features a modern, inviting decor. The atmosphere is further enhanced by a 10-tap self-serve beer wall and a beautiful outdoor patio equipped with fire lamps. It's the perfect setting for a casual lunch or a dinner date.Final ThoughtsI miss this place dearly now that I'm back home, but I can't wait to visit again the next time I'm in the States. If you're in Vista and have a craving for poke, Lemon Shark is the place to be!“
