50 Best Sushi Bars near Solana Beach

“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.“

“If you are in the fashion district of Solana Beach or going to a concert at the Belly Up and are looking for great little Sushi place, go to Kai Ola Sushi! 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.“

“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!!“

“This is quite easily the best sushi restaurant we’ve eaten in since moving to San Diego years ago. The fish is fresh, always consistent and the owners treat us like regulars. Because we are. If you like sushi that’s inventive, tasty and fresh consider Samurai!“

“Shiku Sushi has the best atmosphere for dining, from their amazing menu and service. You are greeted the minute you enter and each server has a smile for you. I love the rolls, and I try different ones each visit. Casanova, Summer Beach Body to name a few. This Sushi bar is a MUST when you're visiting. You won't be disappointed!“

“Beautiful Ambiance, Friendly Servers and Delicious Foods. Highly Recommend this place. Cheers!“

“Fantastic food quality. Purist food.“

“The food was delicious I recommend it everyone.... FrIendly waiter u can see them making the food I enjoyed it.. I’m coming to eat..“

“One of my favorite spots in La Jolla! The view and service are great, and the atmosphere is comfortable. The food is amazing, especially the ramen (drunken noodles). For sharing, my favorites are the chicken karraage, seaweed salad, and veggie rolls. And definitely save room for the Nutella buns for dessert! They’re a must-try.“

“The sushi is amazing...baked salmon roll and Philly rolls are my go to!“

“Authentic Tokyo style sushi and sashimi for Jim and great choices for us non fish eaters. We eat there every week.“

“The marcos and baked crawfish rolls were bomb👍👍👍“

“Quick, quality, and friendly sushi!!! Ordered online and got the Vermont roll and Delsushi special roll. Both were really great quality and contrasted each other nicely. The Vermont roll was so good, we loved the ratio of rice to fish. Very flavorful and light. The delsushi roll was definitely heavier, baked, and loaded!!!!“

“It is so delicious!! and beautiful. so kind peoples.“

“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. 👍“

“it looks delicious never tried it I live in Puerto Rico USA used to live in California and ate sushi twice a week so I know west coast sushi, sashimi, miso etc. are the best your pics sure make me hungry thanks for sharing I would eat the entire tray 🍣🍤🍣🍤🍣🍤🍣“

“Absolutely amazing cuisine! Exceptional customer service! I would come again!“

“Assorted Sashimi 4.5/5
Everything was good, but the yellowtail was the standout. Its texture and flavor really surprised me-in a good way.

Dragon Roll 4/5
Tasty and enjoyable, but nothing particularly surprising.

Dynamite Roll 4.5/5
The biggest surprise of the meal. Really flavorful, with a great combination of textures. Definitely one of my favorites.“

“The rolls we got were delectable...so yummy and quite large. In fact we had to take home our delicious bulgogy because we were too full from the rolls.
Very nicely decorated and comfortable seating at the bar.
The servers could bring our drinks a bit quicker, but they were very nice nonetheless.“

“Good experience! Friendly atmosphere“

“We love Blue Fin Sushi!! The staff/service are fabulous and the food/sushi is above and beyond.“

““Japanese restaurant with amazing quality of fish”

ㅇ (Taste) Both sashimi and sushi are aged amazingly. The taste of fish at a high-quality Japanese restaurant.
- Truffle-topped sushi may be a bit complicated, but the taste of fish is the best.
- If you order the $34 chef's set, you get 6 pieces of rolls, 4 pieces of sashimi, and 6 pieces of sushi. Good value for money
ㅇ (Service) Friendliness. The server continuously checks the meal status. And the food came out super fast.
ㅇ (Atmosphere) Cleanliness inside and outside the store. The spacing is wide so you can relax. There are lots of seats, but it's not noisy at all.“

“It is an okay place for a fast bite of sushi. Atmosphere is average. Service was average. Food was just edible. Not bad but not really good. Mediocre.“

“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!“

“Best sushi in San Diego. We never had a problem coming in sitting down and having a wonderful time eating sushi here. Staff here is great to work with they know the menu. Every time I’m in the area stop by to get a Solano roll. Maybe 2 or 3 or 4. They’re that good.“

“Veronica is absolutely amazing. I asked her for the impossible and she went above and beyond. With only a four day notice she created a custom sea turtel cake for my wife's surprise birthday party and it was amazing! The look of the cake was wonderful and it tasted even better the whole party was ranting on how it was the best cake they have ever had. THANK YOU SO MUCH VERONICA!“

“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.“

“First time I’m this area house sitting. Food was excellent. Delivered on time and HOT ! I’ll be back here next month and will definitely order“

“Such an awesome place with great food and an awesome beach setting! Whenever I come to San Diego to visit family, I will always come here after a great day on the water.“

“Food is excellent, a bit pricey but they uses high quality freshest ingredients 😚🤌🏻 I would definitely pay for it. Packaging looks elegant too. Highly recommend this place. They make their own soy sauce which compliments their sushi/nigiri/sashimi really well. My husband and I got the sashimi and nigiri, our son loves the mixed/combo sando (Tonkutsu, shrimp and egg)“

“this is my favorite local sushi spot in Carlsbad! they have amazing options and all of the sushi i’ve tried is delicious (i recommend the awesome roll and the white house roll!) this is the spot if you want fast and efficient service and delicious food“

“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.“

“Big crab legs, big oysters + military discount.“

“Food is awesome n delicious“

“Greeeat food, service and music.- Loved it, I’ll definitely comeback when I’m im town again!! — PS.- Shaky/Shivering tables was weird to my Amigo Joe though.- What was that!? 😆“

“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.“

“Rising Sun Sushi at the mall was awesome! We had the Sun Kiss Roll, gyoza, and California Roll, and everything was super tasty. The Sun Kiss Roll really stood out, and the gyoza were perfectly crispy.

The staff was friendly, and the service was fast. If you’re in the mood for sushi, definitely give Rising Sun a try! You’ll love it! 🍣✨“

“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 🙌🏼🙌🏼👌🏼👌🏼“

“I was so amazed by the lunch I had at Urbn Sushi today. The sashimi was incredibly fresh and of HIGH quality, and the miso soup was delicious without being overly salty like other places. If you find yourself in La Jolla/the San Diego area, I highly recommend giving this place a try. It’s a place where local enjoy and truly is a hidden gem. The clean, welcoming atmosphere and genuine service made my experience all the more satisfying.“
