    My husband and I had dinner here and we really enjoyed our meal. We were seated immediately upon arrival and checked on often. They had soft shell crab which is my husband's favorite! The storefront was nice and clean and very well lit. I really can't complain about the price or quality of food- good job Love Boat!

    Crispy Gyoza
    Kiyomi F.

    Sushi was good. Crispy tuna was delicious! Gyoza came out HOT and crispy! Wasn't a big fan of the sauce it came with but that's personal preference. The padres roll was good, it came with a lot of soft shell crab topping. However I will say you mainly taste the batter, not so much the crab. The eel roll and spicy salmon were good as well. The service was okay, friendly staff but seemed to be quite overwhelmed. We had to ask a few times for water refill & didn't receive our ginger/wasabi until mid meal. The restaurant itself is super tiny, barely any space. We had a decent meal, price was decent. Not sure if we would come back mainly due to how small & crowded the restaurant is making it quite stuffy inside.

    Sushi bar sitting - yellowtail jalapeño roll on the left & hot night roll. So good!

    Our server was very nice, but the host was a bit rude when I asked I could have the password to the WiFi - he said no so if you don't get service there heads up! The rolls were great (we got the yellowtail jalapeño roll L & hot night roll R - we already had one slice before remembering to grab a pic woops!) and came out quickly considering there was a little bit of a late lunch rush going on when we got there!

    Forgot what this one was called. 4/5

    Love boat is a smaller restaurant. Their rolls are good. Not as good as Junmai, but they are descent. The service was very friendly. Took them a bit to refill my water, but other than that, they were on top of their game.

    Superhero Poke & Cucumber Salad

    Came here for a quick lunch. I ordered a poke bowl and cucumber salad. Service was fine and helped me explain some ingredients in the food. I ordered ToGo. I'd order from here again!

    Crispy Krab Wontons
    Molly J.

    I have never been to a sushi place where the krab meat is shredded like spaghetti noodles. It almost grossed me out because it didn't look like normal sushi rolls. Even the krab wontons- barely had cream cheese in them too. It felt like I was eating those krab sticks on its own. The crunchy stuff on top didn't seem great either quality wise. I asked for the eel sauce to be removed which is why these rolls didn't have the sauce on top. Everything was pretty mid which is why I'm giving it a 3, but unfortunately we probably won't be coming back. Service was nice tho, staff were friendly but it took quite a long time for the food to come out.

    Solid local place. Not the most original or innovative, but quality of fish is good and the menu pretty solid. Service seems to always be understaffed and despite effort from the employees the overall experience suffers a bit. I'd like to see special to keep the menu a bit fresher. It's been the same for like ever.

    Got the poke bowl (pictured) and small sushi combo (not pictured). Soooo goood. Love Boat never disappoints. Service was great as usual. Attentive but not overbearing. It was quiet today. Maybe the rain contributed, but I'll take that any day. Until next time friends

    Delicious and fresh! This might be tucked away, but there is good reason! It's a hidden gem! Consistently, quality, and great food presentation. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. One of my favorite sushi restaurant in town. Phenomenal customer service and calm ambiance. Great for celebrations or date night. I would suggest calling ahead on nights and weekends as they get busy. If you walk in, it's 100% worth the wait. A must try!

    We come here all the time, it's super close to home and right by Burn Bootcamp and Turmeric Hut. Their happy hour is early (like, done by 5:30) but it's perfect for a quick sushi + appetizer situation that won't break the bank. The bento boxes are great, and the sashimi salad has a surprisingly big portion of fish. My son devours the salmon rolls every time, so it's one of those places where we all leave happy. Servers can be a little down but maybe they're just bummed they don't get to eat while we do?! Lol. The sushi is yummy. Glad to have a good neighborhood sushi spot

    Jennie A.

    I ordered the rainbow roll along with four pieces of sushi and it was delicious. The fish was fresh. Overall, it was a satisfying and enjoyable dining experience.

    Chicken teriyaki

    Food selection is in wide range. We ordered chicken teriyaki, steak teriyaki and spicy salmon roll. The rice on the roll was falling apart and very small for the price charged. The seasoning was good but overall disappointing.

    Family brought me for early Mother's Day Dinner and I had no idea such a place existed here in…read moreOceanside. The unassuming exterior and simple but elegant interior greeted us with low lighting and quiet atmosphere. We sat at a table of 6 and immediately knew we were in for a treat. We all had the 10 course meal and although I can't do justice to describing each item- let's just say every bite is a treat for the tastebuds. You could do substitutions and add ons. I added wagyu for additional 55$ but I'm sure the duck would of been just as good. The pork too surprised me as my family raised pigs as a kid and I don't usually eat but the pork dish- with pigs that were raised with special diet and spa-like treatment/ well... the stories added to the dish. Things like pine were unexpected delights. The drinks were all amazing and we tried mixed drinks, sake, and something I rarely see and is worth noting- great mocktails. The service was outstanding and everyone was friendly, polite, knew their job, and quietly was there between each course with fresh silverware. All was completed with a sense of effortlessness. My daughter mentioned to her dad she was waiting on a drink and the manager heard and without hesitation said it was on the way/ and on the house. We chuckled as the bill of course was more than we had ever spent on a single meal, but enjoyed every minute. What struck me about ambiance is we felt as if we were the only ones there although I saw several tables on other side of restaurant. In addition although 6 of us in a circle - we were able to converse with each other with ease. Come with an open mind and be prepared for the best meal you may ever have. Pricey but worth it if you want to create a memory sure to please.

    3.5 stars We came here because they're closing at the end of…read morethe month. So, Yes it was a bit pricy but i wanted to try it before it closed. Made reservations online for the tasting menu $225. The place is in the middle of nowhere, from the outside you'd never guess it was fine dining. We started off with a trio of little bites, a tile fish gungakn roll, fried mochi threads, and an acorn cracker filled with camembert cheese. The raw tile fish gunkan was ok, the mochi threads were nice and crunchy, the camembert cheese was too pungent for me. Hamachi/Raspberry - slices of Yellow tail and raspberry in a ponzu sauce. The ponzu stood out most and gave it a salty profile i couldn't really distinguish between the hamachi and the raspberry as the textures were similar. Artichoke Kohlrabi gyoza with a bri sauce. This dish was very good though i thought it was more like ravioli than gyoza. It even looked like ravioli. I think they just called it gyoza to make it fit the Japanese theme. Shrimp tempura was delicious! it was lightly battered and fried and put in a shallow bowl of shrimp broth. They said it came with dynamite sauce but i think it was just kewpie mayo. Very good and one of my favorites of the evening. Chicken wing stuffed with scallop, part of the wing was deboned and stuffed with a Hokkaido scallop. It was very tasty, the scallop was very sweet and tender. I wish the skin of the chicken wing was crispier. It was quite charred but did not crack when bitten into it and a little rubbery. Tile fish had a very crispy skin and came with a beautiful sauce of i think apples and apricots and a walnut butter. I really liked the sauce that was spooned on the plate. another one of my favorites of the evening. Duck done 2 ways; roasted and a fried tsukune meatball. They both came in a light carrot sauce. The fat on the roasted piece was nicely rendered and the duck meat very tender. The tsukune was nicely fried and crispy and still rare inside. The palate cleanser was a pine ice cream with Aloe Jelly, The pine ice cream was quite refreshing and smooth i thought the aloe jelly was a bit strong tasting. I think flavor came from the geranium but something had a strong taste to it. The dessert was also one of my favorites White chocolate with hokkaido milk powder on top of miso ice cream and slices of tangerine. It was supposed to be reminiscent of a creamsicle. The Hokkaido milk power was magic on the shards of white chocolate, the miso ice cream was very smooth and dense and when eaten together with the pieces of manderin orange did remind me of a creamsicle. They gave us a trio of finishing dishes a trio of bites; Castella cake, Kokuto jelly and raspberry mochi. The castella cake didn't really stand out, it wasn't the sweet dense cake that im used to. The kokuto jelly had that deep brown sugar taste but was too stiff in my opinion. The raspberry mochi had a strong raspberry flavor which i loved and had a good chew to it. Service was exceptional, water was filled many times almost every time the water glass went down 1/4 it was filled to the top. Each course was preceded with the proper utensiles and were cleared after each dish. i must have had at least 4 forks and 4 spoons. Definilty 5 star (Michilin style) service. Food was very good maybe 4 stars. Value was ok maybe 3 stars. If you divided the courses by the price it came to $25 per course. If you looked at the ala cart menu, many of the items were there and could be had for less than $25, of course not all the dishes on the tasting menu were available ala cart. But i feel if you sat at the bar and ordered a cocktail and maybe 5-6 dishes you't still pay a hefty price but it would be much less than $225. I feel like thats the way to go instead of the tasting menu. Come here if you want exceptional service.

We were looking at food options on the way to the field for after the game and sort of laughed as we passed a sushi place in a strip mall in a seemingly out of the way location. My son heard us mention sushi and perked right up, but we told him not likely around here. Just for fun, we Googled it and then read the reviews and were taken aback at the fantastic reviews.

OMG.....Kyodai 23 is now one of my Top 3 favorite sushi locations EVER!!! The sushi was so fresh, flavorful, melt in your mouth amazing! I'm writing this review two months after we dined, so I don't remember the names of any of the dishes, but I added pics so you can see what we had.

Our booth seat had a large, dirty footprint on it that clearly wasn't left by anyone in our group. Our waitress was pleasant and suggested we order a second dish for our 6- and 3-year-olds, explaining the first plate wouldn't be very shareable. When the first dish arrived, it was clearly more than enough to share. When the second plate came, we asked to send it back untouched, but were told that wasn't possible once an order was placed -- for a $6 kids' noodle bowl. Having dined out for at least 20 years, I'd never run into a policy like that. Our waitress could tell we weren't happy and brought over the manager, who confirmed the same policy and offered to box up the extra dish for us to take home instead of adjusting the bill. We let it go and decided to leave the dish behind, but the interaction left a sour taste. When the check came, our waitress made an offhand joke about checking the bill for "extras," which didn't land well given what had just happened. We also had to ask twice before getting a copy of our receipt for our records. To top it off, the restroom was in poor shape and had no soap -- though there were decorative rocks in the sink, apparently there to prevent splashing. On the positive side, the sushi was fine, though it's hard to go wrong there. Between the confusing food policy, the service recovery, and the restroom, this isn't a place we'll be returning to.

    Yelp! review #15 of 2026 Visit on 16 March…read more Dropped in around 7pm with a party of 9, including several meat eaters and one vegan friend. The place wasn't too busy but had decent reviews, so we decided to give it a try (for the win!). They were able to accommodate our large group with seating, which was really appreciated. Once we sat down and placed our orders, things initially seemed fine. But then the service slipped. When I asked for water, they only brought out three cups, just for the kids. We had to ask multiple times before my wife and I finally got ours. Most of the food arrived, but my eldest daughter's meal was completely missing. After we inquired, it took another 15 minutes for it to come out. It really felt like they had forgotten half our order. The fried rice and broth arrived even later. On the positive side, the food tasted fresh and was genuinely good overall. What really stood out negatively, though, was the staff's response every time we said "thank you." Instead of "you're welcome" or "no problem," it was always just "Yep!" It came across as dismissive and disrespectful. While the food was solid, the service and basic human interaction need real improvement. If I'm ever back in the area, I'll probably look for other options.

Liked that there was a plenty of other ingredients like 4 large triangular pieces of tofu as well as a piece of seaweed and some other type of vegetable/ fern/ seaweed in the meal. Owner was friendly and accommodating. 5 percent courtesy if you pay by cash. Also, has a loyalty rewards program. You pay and order at the counter ahead of time. Parking is a little hard to find. Most of the parking in the small parking area is marked 20 min so had to park by the 24 hr fitness gym parking lot.
