    Pepper beef
    Ashley B.

    Decided on a date night in, which we always love as much as going out. Used Uber Eats, order arrived hot and efficient and correct. Flavors were good, no complaints there. The only issue which prompted this review were the lack of proteins in the dishes. The first was the pepper beef and second was the minced chicken basil and chili dish. Wildly lacking in the protein department. Beef dish photo was after two small scoops on each plate (we ordered three entrees plus two sushi rolls, so not much was taken out per entree). It was literally all peppers and onion. The least flavor out of everything, would never order again. The chicken dish had nice flavor, but hardly any chicken and consisted primarily of the filler veggies. For about $150, this was pretty disappointing.

    Happiest sushi place in Oceanside!

    Been coming here for years. We always sit at the sushi bar and Van, the head sushi chef is wonderful! The sushi is always perfect. Such a quality, fun place!

    Panang curry. Rich, creamy and full of flavor

    Sure value. Pad thai are the best around according to my son who loves that dish and tries it everywhere he can. The dinner portion cames in a crispy wonton shell. It is original and brings a texture contrast.

    Another dirty spoon in sauces brought to table. BEWARE!

    Dirty! Have been there many times and food was fine. Heard it is under new ownership. Old spoons in sauces delivered to table, flies swarming my food and was charged different prices per plate than what menu listed by several dollars. Complained and was told they were waiting on new menus. Buy a sticker and put the correct price on the menu instead of not being transparent to your customers. Will not be going there again!

    Spicy tuna roll. The pieces are huge!

    This has been my favorite restaurant for both Thai food and sushi for quite a while. I had a bad day and decided to stop for Thai food to brighten my day. There was only one other customer in the restaurant that late in the afternoon. But despite not being busy, after getting the menu, I waited for an exceptionally long time for service. I watched the waitress talking to the other customer for all that time and completely ignoring me. I decided to give her one more minute, then I'd leave. After counting the 60 seconds, I got up and headed for the door. That's when the waitress finally looked at me and hurried over before I reached the door. She said the other customer had questions/issues about the food (which she had already eaten, as there were only empty plates on the table). It had been obvious to me that they were simply having a casual conversation (in Thai) for their dynamics, not an issue. I returned to my table to order an appetizer and a Thai beer. She said they were out of Singha, as well as Kirin; they only had Sapporo (which I don't like). A Thai restaurant out of Thai beer?!! That was the final straw and I left. I decided to try a new Thai restaurant in the area instead - Chiin. Their food was fantastic! (see my review for them). Even better than here. So, while this place will remain my sushi go-to, they've lost all my future business for Thai food. Cafe de Thai & Sushi really dropped the ball today.

    A surprising combo that works! Fresh sushi and flavorful Thai dishes--the pad thai and rainbow roll are standouts. Friendly service and cozy vibe, though the space is small. Great for a casual, satisfying meal.

    Something for everyone! The food is always fresh and great. Service is friendly and knowledgeable. You can sit at the sushi bar or a table and everyone can order something different. Non sushi items are great as well. They show sports and it's a great local spot!

    Came here pretty late on Mother's Day and surprisingly there was no wait (though we've seen in…read morepacked on non-holidays). It's hard to put my finger on it, but something about the sushi here (especially when paired with a little bit of soy sauce) just had an excellent taste that I'm not sure I've had anywhere else. I really liked the "Ninja & Samurai" roll which is pretty simple, but another family member liked the Aloha roll (which is fried). That being said there are a LOT of options, and the basic California Rolls are quite inexpensive. Josh was very friendly and even made an attempt to learn our names, and he really helped tie off a nice meal with good service. Definitely somewhere I look forward to coming to again!

This time I ordered the agedashi tofu, ikura nigiri, and a dragon roll. The agedashi tofu was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, soaking up that savory broth so well. The ikura nigiri was super fresh -- bright, briny, and buttery in that way that just pops when you bite into it. And the dragon roll? So good. Creamy, flavorful, and balanced -- not overly sauced, just done right. My boyfriend got the Alaskan roll and the Korean ramen, and both were great. The ramen was comforting and flavorful, and the Alaskan roll was fresh and satisfying. Also, our server is always hilarious. It makes the whole experience even better when you're laughing throughout dinner. Between the consistently good food and the friendly, funny service, it's easy to see why we keep coming back. Waraii will always be one of our go-to spots in Vista.

I always enjoy dining there with my family because they have good food that we can all enjoy together. Every year for my birthday I go to Gonzo! I simply love eating at Gonzo. First of all, I can't get over how scrumptious their food is, it is so tasty and packed with flavor. If you stand in line to order, as soon as you sit down you will have already been served. I don't know how Gonzo prepares their meals so fast, yet so delicious. Also the fact that they cook their food fresh daily is crazy to me. I've been to many ramen restaurants and no one compares to Gonzo's. My go to on the menu is the tonkotsu ramen with gyoza and chicken karaage. Gonzo also offers a very unique atmosphere that makes you feel like you're in Japan. They have waving cats, a big banana neon light, posters and a floating ball on top of the water station. The ball is so cool but I am still puzzled on how it works. Their decor can not be matched. They also have a TV that is always playing Anime. You can also sit inside or outside so if you feel like sitting inside, sit inside but if you want to sit outside, sit outside. Gonzo also does not offer reservations so there is always a place to sit. If there is nowhere to sit just get It to go, truly there is no other ramen stop better than Gonzo. Lastly, the people there are super nice, and always check up on you, they are very polite, and they always say your welcome. While you wait, you can enjoy your appetizers until your main meal arrives. Also if you ask them for a free ticket to their store, they will give you one, each member of the family gets one. You can go next door and trade them in for tokens, these tokens can be used to play claw machines so you can win stuff. But what tops that off is that all of the employees are welcoming and happy. Gonzo Ramen is the best restaurant in the world. They offer good food, an amazing atmosphere and the people there are super nice not to mention the location is very conveniently located near my house. I seriously think about Gonzo all the time. Gonzo is that go to place for me and my family.

For some of the best ramen that Oceanside has to offer, I recommend The Wu Lan Ramen located in the Plaza Del Oro Shopping Center, just south of the 76 Hwy. It's hidden behind the 24 Hour Fitness and CVS. The plaza has limited parking, but it isn't typically too crowded and you should be able to find parking in front of this family-owned ramen restaurant. They have a quaint and trendy ambiance and they placed a lot of care into their anime murals, which lends to a "whimsical" vibe. It's a nice blend of traditional elements & colors and modern (kawaii) accents. The interior is also spacious and has great seating for groups and is also good for couples too. Enjoy table seating or better-yet at their bar seating and you can chat with the friendly staff! They have a "staple menu" that is written in chalk on a board and then there's their menu that is very diverse. They also have a great Happy Hour menu with items priced below $8, including sake! I enjoy their pan-fried gyoza, salted edamame, miso soup, firecracker shrimp, fried calamari, chicken karaage and most other delicious dishes. Their sushi menu is also high quality grade and I feel is often overlooked and underrated. But their ramen is what shines the most! There are so many styles & varieties! There's a lot to customize and their broth is amazing! There are many tasty bowls, desserts and don't forget to grab a sake or a craft beer! I recommend checking Wu Lan Ramen the next time you're looking for some authentic ramen or sushi in the north side of Oceanside.
