    This was a back up plan for my friend and my's original dinner plans, and it was worth coming to. Service was easy to see where to go orders went vs people who were looking to dine in. There was more than enough seating in the restaurant and it was moderately busy for a chilly Friday night. We were seated quickly and ordered pretty soon after. From order to food arrival, it was pretty fast for ordering 4 rolls. Each roll was packed with filling and balanced between rice to fish. Flavor was pretty good, I think the roll I ordered that had ponzu could have used a little more, but I also could have asked for more ponzu to go with it. This is absolutely my own personal preference though. The fish was fresh, nothing smelled or tasted fishy. The spicy tuna was not overly spicy either which was pleasant for me who is sensitive to spice.

    It's party time!!! Hooked on Sushi is our goto spot for sushi at work. We ordered a bunch of rolls for our team lunch and it was all so good. Service is great and the food is delicious. The attention to detail is great and overall would like to say that in San Marcos, this is one of the greatest sushi restaurants. Will definitely be back. Overall rating: Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Menu: 10/10 Restaurant Vibes: 10/10 Price to Overall Dining (POD): 10/10

    I've been to a few Hooked on Sushi spots, and this location stands out as my favorite. The quality of the fish is always fresh, the portions are generous, and the service is efficient even when it's busy. The menu has a solid mix of traditional rolls and creative house specialties, plenty of options, so many!. They have a lot of vegetarian options too, more than most. I especially appreciate how well-balanced the flavors are. The tempura is light and crispy, and the sashimi cuts are great in appearance, smell, and texture. We enjoy the following specialty rolls: Bob Marley, Hawaiian, Waikiki, Lemon, Maui, and Crunchy. They are fresh and full of flavor. It's a great chance to order multiple and try them all. The Jalapeño Poppers and Edamame are always good appetizers. This location tends to be more consistent than the others I've tried. The atmosphere is casual but clean, and the staff is friendly without being overbearing. Parking is usually easy, which is a plus. Hooked on Sushi is a solid sushi spot.

    The food was amazing and presentation of the food was also so pretty! The service was absolutely incredible, our server was Val and she was very friendly , professional, and has warm hospitality. Our server Val was outstanding and the restaurant itself has an enjoyable color scheme. Highly recommend!

    Sumo Roll

    We ordered sumo roll and seaweed salad on DoorDash. We were disappointed in the portion of seaweed salad. It was $9.60 for 2 tablespoons!! The sumo roll was filling. The avocado was fresh and the salmon and tuna were okay. They also didn't pack our pickup bag well. When we opened the bag, there was seaweed sauce everywhere, soaking our napkin and chopstick wrap. It was unfortunate but it wasn't something that would stop me from giving them another chance.

    Lowkey guys... I wouldn't come here again because the fish here is pretty low quality, and there are other places in San Marcos that have better fish and fish to rice ratios for the same price. Folks were nice and the vibes were nothing too crazy, but the food here really had me feeling like fish were swimming in my stomach at night... One of the tuna pieces in the picture was so tough that I couldn't chew through it. It was really not great. Also the hand rolls were like 90% rice and seaweed and the rest was small traces of fish. Only thing good here is the fact there's an open parking lot.

    I love everything there. Service so good. Stuff so friendly. Food so delicious. You can find barking everywhere. I enjoy my time over there

    Look how thin the fish is
    Lisa W.

    We always order chirashi bowls, and this time it came so lame. It was $24 and the sashimi was as thin as paper, there were no greens or anything on it. I've ordered from this location before and this time it's hella lame. It used to have some greens, like a little lettuce, green onions and seaweed salad and this time it came with nothing. We ordered from DoorDash and they obvious discriminate against DoorDash orders since DoorDash charges more and they don't see DoorDash payments until 7 days later. Will never order from this location again! Carlsbad one was better.

    Came here for lunch one day. The plaza has plenty of parking around the restaurant. The food came out pretty quickly and the staff was nice. Their lunch specials are definitely worth it, but I wouldn't recommend getting the tuna roll. It didn't seem like it was fresh fish. The bento box and sesame chicken were really good!

    We came in for a friend's birthday dinner at 6pm Saturday, it wasn't busy at all, it was a relaxing evening. We were welcomed in and our waiter was super sweet to all 8 of us. We got our plates quickly which was nice but again it wasn't busy until maybe an hour after we arrived. Hubs and I ordered Yellowtail Nigiri Sushi, Super Mario Roll, North Coast Roll & Baby Lobster Baked Roll. We enjoyed all of them. I loved the lime slices on the Super Mario Roll, the zesty with the spice kick goes well together.

    Chicken Teriyaki + Rice Bento , Tempura California, Chicken Bowl

    Highly recommend this place. It was our first time here and they were really nice. Food was great as well. We had the chicken bowl, kids bento box, and the baked Tempura California. It's been a long time since we've had really nice / attentive service. A must try!

    The sushi was larger then most places in the area. What I mean by that is large cuts of fish, larger diameter rolls. For someone wanting to try a new specialty roll their menu offers a large selection of pictures to go with the roll names so that's a plus for someone wanting to venture out and have a visual of what they will be getting. The ambiance is normal, lots of windows so it offered tons of natural light.

I wasn't a fan of the pear itself but everything else went so beautifully well together. The pepperoni recipe was a great add on! Roasted Garlic with Goat Cheese appetizer - husband really liked this! Goat cheese was creamy and the combo was nice. My favorite part of these was the caramelized onions. Lovely! Fresh Soft garlic rolls were lovely! Warm and fluffy. Friends got the vegetable pizza and it was loaded with veggies! They said it was really good. They also liked the Broccoli with Penne Pasta and seemed to enjoy it. Good amount of broccoli in there which was nice. Tiramisu - husband loved this! It was just what he wanted to end his meal. I'm usually a fan of the creams so this one had too much of the sponge ladyfingers for me. But overall the flavor was quite nice. Definitely would recommend this place especially for the pizza.

There was plenty of parking, and the restaurant is spacious with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. We were seated right away, and the service was friendly throughout our visit. They brought out complimentary garlic knots served hot, and they were so good we even asked for seconds. I also thought the lunch special was a great value for under $17. You can choose a salad and pasta or a salad and a 6 inch personal pizza. I ordered the Best Salad, which was delicious, and paired it with the goat cheese pizza. The toppings were good, but there wasn't any sauce on the pizza, so it ended up being a little dry for my taste. I'd probably try a different pizza next time. They also had a great playlist playing, which made the atmosphere even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a really nice lunch spot, and I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

Parking was easy, although the shopping center itself is very busy. The restaurant was clean, bright, and open with plenty of seating (inside and outside). The staff was friendly, and the line moved fairly quickly. The setup reminded me of a Mediterranean version of Chipotle where you move down the line and customize your bowl. My favorite part was definitely the sauces and dips. The Crazy Feta was so good that I would honestly buy a jar of it if I could. I also liked having black lentils as an option since that's not something I've seen anywhere else. Overall, I thought the flavors were good, but there were a few things that missed the mark for me. The falafel had great flavor, but the texture was very doughy and not my favorite. The lamb meatballs were also on the dry side. I also found myself wishing they offered gyro meat. I'm glad I tried it and can see why it's popular. While I'm not rushing back, I'd definitely give it another chance and try some different menu items next time.

The location is absolutely…read morestunning, with beautiful lake views from every angle, and the sunset made the evening even more magical. We had a very large group of about 14-15 women, and I was so impressed with the service. The staff was attentive, organized, and genuinely friendly from start to finish. Even better, they didn't automatically add gratuity for a large party, which made us want to tip them even more because the service truly earned it. Our table ordered what felt like every appetizer on the menu, and every single one was delicious. The cocktails were just as impressive. The Midnight Margarita, topped with a beautiful orchid, was as gorgeous as it was delicious, and the Aperol Sunset Spritz was the perfect drink to enjoy while watching the sun go down over the lake. From the food and drinks to the incredible staff and breathtaking setting, everything exceeded our expectations. It was a flawless evening, and I would absolutely recommend Amalfi for a special occasion--or any excuse to enjoy an amazing meal with an unforgettable view. 10/10, we'll definitely be back!

Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with the lobster ravioli. It was around $50 and had almost no flavor. It did not taste like lobster at all. Honestly, it tasted like frozen ravioli. It even had that bland taste mush texture you get from frozen food. For $50, I expected much more from the dish. I can't tell if they were trying to put burrata on top of my ravioli. If it was burrata it was the worst burrata I've ever had in my life. Super hard and weird texture as if it was very old or forgotten in the fridge for too long. What made it even more disappointing was that our waiter recommended the lobster ravioli and really hyped it up. I trusted his recommendation and was expecting it to be one of the better dishes. We also ordered the salmon plate. It was fine and the price seemed reasonable for this restaurant. It was nothing special but it was cooked well and was a safe choice. It's hard to cook this dish wrong. The service was actually impeccable. Our waiter was very nice and seemed knowledgeable about the menu. He was attentive throughout the meal and made sure we had everything we needed. Since he had recommended the lobster ravioli, I didn't want to make him feel bad by telling him that I didn't enjoy it. So I didn't say anything at the time. Overall, I really wanted to like this place. The lake view is beautiful and the restaurant has a really nice atmosphere. The service was also excellent. Unfortunately, the food did not reflect the prices. The lobster ravioli was especially disappointing for $50. I just can't justify paying that much for a dish that tasted like frozen ravioli with no real flavor. As nice as the restaurant is, I don't think I would come back.
