Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures, but the food was beautifully presented, and the inside was casual, clean, and simple. I was going to get traditional ramen, but at the last minute changed my order to the Mazesoba (a brothless ramen) as it was a special, and sounded interesting. I also ordered a spicy tuna onigiri, and my friend ordered the BST ramen and karaage. The onigiri was pretty good and I enjoyed it as an appetizer. The Mazesoba was very interesting since it's a "dry" ramen and then you add vinegar to taste. Once you've eaten your way down to the "good bits" of meat, herbs, and sauce at the bottom of the bowl, they give you a little side of rice that you can then mix into the deliciousness left over and it basically creates a new meal! I found that part super cool, and thoroughly enjoyed this second iteration of the meal as leftovers the next day. I LOVED the broth in the BST ramen (and I'm not a broth person), and it almost made me jealous that I had not gotten it myself. To finish, we split a raspberry and lime tart, which was beautiful and perfectly light. The service here was also prompt and friendly, which I always appreciate. I would definitely come back again -- and next time, I'm getting some of that delicious broth.

Great choice for a solo lunch, like myself. The menu has all the hits, so I went with the BST ramen. I loved that it came out piping HOT. Super hot!! It really kept its warmth for most of the meal too, this is such a clutch part to good ramen many restaurants overlook. Flavors were amazing. Service was friendly and prompt. Will definitely return for more of these solo lunches!

Highlights for us were the pork belly skewer (perfectly grilled with great char and juicy texture), animal-lover ramen with its rich, creamy broth, and the miso hot ramen which had a nice spicy kick without being overpowering. We also loved the cucumber salad -- light, refreshing, and a great contrast to the richer dishes -- plus crispy karaage and brussels sprouts that were done right. Great variety, bold flavors, and we left satisfied but not stuffed. Exactly the kind of Japanese comfort food experience we look for. We'll definitely be back.

She's always attentive throughout our entire dining experience and makes us feel well taken care of without being overbearing. She has such a warm friendly personality, and it's clear she genuinely enjoys what she does. As for the food, we like to try different rolls each time. Some of our favorites so far are the Escondido roll, Dynamite roll (definitely one of our top picks), Dragon roll, and the asparagus tempura roll. We'll sometimes add a spicy California roll too. On colder days, I love getting their miso soup or spicy tonkatsu ramen, you can even switch out the protein for an extra charge, which is a nice option. My husband usually goes for the chicken katsu curry, and I really enjoy the beef yakisoba or the teriyaki salmon. So if you're in Escondido definitely give them a try!

Our party of two waited about 20 minutes on a Friday night with no reservation. It was quite busy that day with many other tables waiting to be sat. There are a lot of options on the menu, ranging from cooked items to sushi and rolls. After placing our order, it took only about 10 minutes before we received the first dish and everything else followed. We ordered a roll the sashimi set a hand roll and also a bowl of ramen. Their salmon and engawa was tasty, but I wouldn't say their fish is the freshest or have much flavor to them. Unfortunately, we had an issue with our spicy tuna roll (there was a piece of metal found inside). I'm sure it was just overlooked. But service was very friendly and accommodating. They immediately remade our roll and also provided some complementary dessert. The service here was quick and friendly. I appreciated it given how busy the restaurant was.

We also got the dragon roll, spicy tuna roll (which was ACTUALLY spicy), and the salmon avocado rolls, as well as the salmon nigiri. All of the food was delicious and very reasonably priced, and worth the trip. Additionally, a huge thank you and kudos to the staff for being so kind and warm about our excitement watching the World Cup matches that we're playing while we were eating. They were very sweet and understanding, and didn't rush us at all, which made it much more enjoyable to take our time and savour the food and the game. Overall this is a great spot to grab sushi and enjoy some quality time with friends or family, and I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a good Japanese and sushi restaurant!

It was Sunday night and we were driving back to Escondido from Anaheim. GPS says they close at 9:30 PM. We roll in at exactly 9:05 PM. Place still had customers inside, open tables, and two hostesses literally started walking us to a table. The male host said, "Last call is in 10 minutes." Cool. I jokingly ask, "For alcohol?" because I wanted TWO damn sushi rolls, not a 12-course feast. He says with a smile, "No. Last call for food and everything else." Okay... easy day. We already knew exactly what we wanted. Simple order. In and out. No biggy. Then came the look. You know the look. The "damn it, I want to go home, why did customers show up during business hours?" look from management and the sushi chefs. Next thing you know, manager says we cannot be served. Wait... what happened to "last call in 10 minutes?" Suddenly now it is, "You missed last call at 9:00 PM." It was 9:06 PM. So your establishment closes at 9:30 PM... but actually closes at 9:00 PM... but also has a last call in 10 minutes... but also refuses service? Got it. Crystal clear. Listen, if y'all want to leave at 9:00, then change the damn hours to 9:00. Do not advertise 9:30 and have people driving 70 miles just to get hit with attitude and false hope. So we walked out and went somewhere else. Being turned away wasn't the problem. The problem was being treated like customers showing up during YOUR posted business hours was somehow our fault. Change your damn hours to 9:00 pm then. Do better!

The only major issue was the wait for our first round of food. It appears the order was never entered, so our second round actually arrived before the first.

The quesobirria taco was more tasty, but it didn't come with consumme. I had to order another one on the side for about $5. They had salsa and onions and cilantro on the side.
