41 Best Japanese Restaurants near San Marcos

“Ramen Mik had exceptional service. They always greet you with a smile they always walk through your table. They’ve been very kind and are always eager to give their suggestions and their favorite plates.

Their chicken broth ramen is delicious and I enjoy their chicken teriyaki is great I recommend getting it hot as it does bring out more of the flavors it is the right amount of heat. Their dark beer is good too if you like malt flavor.

Plenty of parking and they have pretty generous hours operating half day on holidays always a great place to stop by for a quick bite.“

“yellowtail roll is amazing!“

“I love the food and service but when I come here for lunch the music is a little intense. It’s the really hardcore edm. I like edm but when I’m eating lunch I just want to relax. It’s something I would listen to at a rave or festival and that’s all good, just not in this setting.“

“The food is truly delicious well worth going to ! The atmosphere is very nice great for a date, or family night out. Definitely will be coming back quite a bit.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy wheelchair access and plenty of room for a wheelchair at the table“

“Loved this hidden gem. We’ll be back! Everything including wine was delicious. 🥰🙏🏼“

“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!“

“I’m a sushi lover, and I’ve eaten at a lot of spots, but this place is truly one of the best!! The fish is incredibly fresh and everything is just so flavorful. I had the spicy garlic edamame, Aloha Roll and the Tiger Roll & both were DELICIOUS.

On top of the food, our waitress, Rhea, was fantastic. She was super friendly, gave us great recommendations, and made sure we had everything we needed. Her energy and amazing service really added to the experience.

I’ll definitely be back. If you're a sushi fan, you can't miss this“

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

“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“

“My family and I have been dining here almost weekly for the last 7 months. The food is phenomenal. It’s fresh, the dishes are innovative yet they offer traditional rolls. Honestly, their ribeye is my favorite dish. Ask for extra mushrooms and sauce- you’ll thank yourself for it. The owners are working there daily and are the sweetest people. My kids are sushi connoisseurs and have declared this their favorite place.“

“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.“

“Teriyaki Chicken and Tempura Vegetables“

“LOVE the order ahead pick up drive through! Food is delish and service is on point! Thank you Mirin you never disappoint“

“Funny af they play country music & Mr. Brightside here cuz it’s westernized. But a bit pricey. Also their neon sign is so funny but camp. They also have this $180 Godzilla Challenge where if you eat 3 lbs of meat plus all veggies in 30 mins or less you get all that for free. Seems like a great place for vibes. Bar searing. Wine Wednesdays. Lunch specials. I was sus at first when I read it was westernized hot pot and was like there’s no way they can mess up boiling raw ingredients in a soup right. Actually not bad.“

“Super tasty food, super reasonably priced. Highly recommend!“

“We love Mikko Sushi - Carlsbad“

“Fresh sushi. I loved the fish selection. If you want the freshest fish, this is a go to place.“

“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.“

“Food is awesome n delicious“

“They say the 3rd time is a charm.
We tried to get in 2 different times but they were full.
On the 3rd try we understood why it's so crowded the food was fabulous. Hubby got drunken noodles loved them and I had Crispy Chickee and loved it also.
Try it you'll love it.“

“This place was a 10 upon walking in. Super Friendly and welcoming staff and great lunch specials. Portion sizes are opulent and food quality is superb. I happened upon this place, and will be a frequent patron. I highly recommend the Caterpillar roll.“

“LOVE the order ahead pick up drive through! Food is delish and service is on point! Thank you Mirin you never disappoint“

“Honestly, this was some of the best freaking sushi I have had in a while. I am traveling for work from Manhattan and I can’t get fish this fresh and delicious for under $120 and even then portions are miniscule. Absolutely blown away, stuffed, and dreaming of more for under $75“

“Really good food. All the fish was very fresh. Not a very large place, but certainly better than some of the better known places in terms of food quality. Ushi is expensive for sure, but it seemed better value for portion size. This is my wife and my new favorite for sushi in Escondido.“

“Me encanta el sushi y tienes muchas opciones!“

“This place is amazing. So yummy and the owners and staff are so kind and always attentive and the food is fresh.“

“Our first time after trying places when Akai Hana and we loved it. it's clean, inviting, friendly and the food/sushi is quality! We will be back.“

“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.“

“Casual gem with amazing food, lots of options and reasonably priced!

Vegetarian options: Lots of options and diverse vegetables

Parking: As with any main location, peak times would be more challenging, we got there 5:30 and found a spot 2 blocks away“

“I have been going to this restaurant for five years, not once has it ever disappointed absolutely love it. Whenever someone asks me for a sushi restaurant or really any restaurant this is where I always say to go.

Kid-friendliness: Very friendly waiters and waitresses. never encountered foul language from anyone ever. But a bit pricey for young children. I do believe forks are available upon request, if not they have chopstick helpers that allow anyone to use chopsticks with ease.“

“Absolutely Amazing! I've been a 3GO customer for many years and they have always had the best Sushi in Escondido and great prices too! During the pandemic I started ordering their food for delivery and they do an excellent job of packing too! 10/10 don't bother going anywhere else.“

“Sky Sushi has great service . The staff is great . The food is amazing. If you haven’t been there you need to go and try the food .“

“Ordered the Alaskan Roll for pick up. Excellent online ordering system with easy payment (and flexible options). I was concerned that the salmon would be smoked (I’m not a fan of the smoked variety), so I made a note about it. They prepared my order perfectly and included a note, “Not smoked… enjoy!” They even included the extra ginger I requested. Easy pick up and the sushi roll was excellent and very tasty! When I went inside to pick up my order, it was packed and the energy in the room was very happy and warm. Highly recommend this place!“

“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.“
