This review is long overdue! We've been coming here for years. This place is fueled by a love for…read moreauthentic Mediterranean cuisine and a desire to create a warm, welcoming space for everyone. Service is always on point! They're quick to serve and attentive to customers! The quality of ingredients are fresh, authentic, and portions are generous! I ordered the Greek fries with steak! And my wife ordered the Greek fries without protein! These fries are served golden and crispy, topped with savory, aromatic ingredients. The yellow Greek sauce is fire!!! I always ask for extra sauce- it definitely complements the fries with a zesty flavor profile! I can literally put that sauce on everything!!! It's that delish!!! Prices are reasonable! Limited seating areas indoors. However, they do have a few round tables outside to sit and eat. Overall, this place is a great spot to enjoy some lunch or dinner. You won't leave disappointed! And you'll be back sooner than later for more Mediterranean comfort food!

We got the rice bowl and it came with the pitas, the sauce is like this savory kinda zesty sauce and the falafel is crispy, there is something else crispy in it, the pickle and the onion and the rice all pair for a great taste, no complaints at all. We also got the lentil quinoa bowl, but there was barely any quinoa in it, but the chicken was very flavorful and there was good pairing with the lettuce tomato's and onions. If I had to choose I would definitely get the rice bowl again! No complaints on service, very quick as they have everything right there

It wasn't too sweet, and in fact, it had some salt on the top and I really enjoyed the hints of saltiness it added. It helped balance the cookie out. The gentleman was a tad bit too sweet for me. I know dark chocolate is healthier, but I still prefer my milk chocolate... I want to come back to try their other flavors!

Definitely a favorite pizza place. Whenever I visit my best friend in San Diego, I mention going…read moreback to Regents. Of course, we finally did after a few years of hiatus. Regents is located right across from UTC shopping and has its own parking lot. If you get it validated, the first hour is free. But of course, when hanging out at Regents, you'll spend a few hours here. They have an extensive beer menu and a pizza slice menu. Instead of ordering both separately, I like to get their combos: I ordered their Combo that has two pizza slices and a beer of my choice. It's not bad! I chose a classic pepperoni and a white sauce pizza to go along with my Hazy IPA. After ordering, they give you a number, and you can choose any open seats from inside and out. The utensils are napkins are a must. These pizza slices are HUGE! Bigger than my hand and definitely bigger than my beer glass. Coming out fresh and hot, these pizzas are delicious and go down well with a beer. The interior is bustling with people (and flies because it gets hot). The servers are back and forth but always doing so with a smile. With the prices and food, nothing beats Regents. I love it here!

I've stopped by Blue Ocean at UTC for lunch a couple of times and I've been blown away by the…read morequality of the food every time I've visited. The first time I went, I tried the steak rice bowl, which was incredibly delicious. The steak was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the gochujang butter, grilled onion, and sauce all paired very well with the steak. The second time I visited, I had the salmon don, which came with a generous portion of various cuts of salmon. The salmon was extremely fresh, flavorful, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. The shochu highball was recommended to go with the salmon don and it was incredibly refreshing and delicious. The service here is also incredible with the staff being very friendly and attentive. I also recently found out that this location is under new ownership and the new owner and head chef, Simon, even personally stopped by to make sure that everything was tasting great. Simon mentioned that he's planning on introducing some new dishes to the menu soon, so I'm excited to see what else he comes up with! This place is definitely a must try if you haven't already!

This location of Blue Ocean Sushi & Grill has been open for a little over two years now. Their…read moresuite in the southwest section of the Westfield UTC Mall started out as an American barbeque restaurant that lasted for about five years. The inside was modern and spacious. A fire pit was available in one of the outside patio areas. The total seating capacity could easily handle close to 100 diners. I have visited twice with relatives when they have come into town. The most recent time was for a weekend lunch in which we sat inside at a booth. A two-sided menu sheet was handed to each of us, however my cousin did all of the ordering. Items that we tried included a Rainbow Roll, Ocean Way Chef's Choice, Grilled Hamachi Collar, Bluefin Don, and Nigiri (uni, scallop, yellowtail). The seafood was very fresh, and the presentation of the Chef's Choice was beautiful. My favorites were the pieces of nigiri. The servers delivered the plates fairly quickly given how much we ordered. One of the chefs came out of the kitchen and introduced himself to our table. I have not dined at the Carlsbad branch, however I do recall trying Blue Ocean/Harumama in the La Jolla Cove area several years ago which left a good impression. The prices weren't cheap for the fish quality, but they weren't overly inflated either. For sushi at this mall, I would definitely recommend Blue Ocean Sushi & Grill over the newly opened Japanese restaurant in the northwest corner.

The parking spots are kind of small and the seats are small round tables that fit 3 people comfortably. There are plenty of tables tho. Food wise they specialize in karage so get it!

Place is welcoming and open, the prices are so affordable and the food is so good! Got the bento box with boneless thigh and another 5 pieces of boneless thighs with spicy mayo. The bento comes with 4 pieces, rice, a small scoop of mashed potato with gravy and cabbage with sesame dressing. The chicken was fresh, crispy, and juicy. The staff is friendly and quick. I went for lunch and they were a lil busy but makes sense cause their food is affordable and delicious!

You can even watch them make their own pastas! The spicy carbonara with shrimp is one of my favorites, but you can't go wrong with any of their options! You can also customize your bowl to your liking! Don't forget to save room for dessert! I love both their cannoli and tiramisu!

Fresh food prepped daily, multiple options to choose from, everything on the menu sounds amazing. I got a Creamy Mushroom and Sausage, add a side of meatballs, with a tiramisu. All of them deserve a 10/10. - Meatballs: Super soft, sauce is amazing, would melt in your mouth. - Creamy Mushroom and Sausage: I got spaghetti, but would love to try a different kind next time. The sauce is very good on its own though. - Lastly, tiramisu: THE BEST, I have never had a better tiramisu in San Diego. 100% would come back.

Wings were top tier. 2 drums 2 flats. Sauce was great not overdone. Crunch was supreme. When I'm in the area again i will return. Ambiance was not something I can speak on, as i went at like 2 pm on a Friday and I was the only customer at the time. The staff is friendly, this place deserves the good reviews and deserves the community's support. If you play Torrey pines golf course give this place a try. Not a far drive. They also do a bowl of pickles for like 3 bucks and so it's good to have

Good takeout spot. There are a few tables, but this is really more of a quick lunch place…read more Chicken is tasty--crispy, saucy, and they pointed us to add furikake on top, which was the move. Rice is solid, and the slaw isn't mayo-heavy--more crunchy, fresh, and balanced. We got the tender box for $14 and it was a pretty generous portion. Overall: great for takeout. You can sit, but the vibe is a little... random. Not why you're going anyway.
