Not bad for the suburbs in north county inland SD! I used to go to the Hillcrest location (RIP) back in the day when they had an AYCE model. This is the last RB Sushi location (located in RB, fittingly) and I'm glad to say that the quality is excellent with great portions. The value is good; there isn't AYCE but it's still worth it for what you get. The dining room is clean and modern and extra spacious with a HUGE fan. Definitely a comfortable spot to bring the family. Lots of ample parking located inside a strip mall near the 15 freeway. Will def be back! read more

I ordered through Postmates for pickup, and the app clearly listed spicy mayo as a free add-on. When I arrived to pick up my order, I was told it would actually cost an additional $0.50. I showed the employee that the app indicated it was included at no charge, but I was told they couldn't honor it. He said he even called the owner, who also refused to make an exception. This review isn't about the $0.50. It's about how the situation was handled. If a business's own ordering platform displays something incorrectly, the customer shouldn't be expected to pay for that mistake. Instead of resolving a simple issue, the response was essentially, "too bad." For the sake of fifty cents' worth of spicy mayo, they lost a customer. Good customer service means taking ownership of problems, even when they're small. Unfortunately, that wasn't the experience I had, and I won't be returning. read more

I went here on a Sunday after attending another event in the area. We went around 2:00 so it was not very busy at all. We were seated pretty promptly, and our server was extremely cheerful and helpful. We decided to order three rolls to share. We ordered the Kimmy, The Majestic, and the blossom. My favorite hands down was The Majestic, it had real crab inside which I appreciate, and a really good flavor. The blossom had fried onions on top come off Which was different but not bad Period the sauce on top was a little much at times but still good. The Kimmy was good but my least favorite of all. It had a kind of smoky flavor to the salmon which just didn't fit in my opinion. During our dining experience, we also asked for extra ginger, and they brought us a huge serving which was much appreciated. I definitely think this is a place you should check out, if you like sushi. The prices were about average of a good sushi spot, and the rolls were really fresh. The size of the rolls were really good as well, I noticed a lot of places I've been to recently the roles have been pretty small. I love that they have a separate section for real crab rolls, because so many places are using imitation now. There were definitely some interesting options and flavor combinations, like they had a roll with wagyu. I plan to go back and try some of the roles I haven't had, and probably also get the Majestic again. read more

RB Sushi off the I-15 is always a great spot because it is clean, plenty of menu variety, and perfect for groups with their long tables. Tried a new coconut shrimp dish recently added to the menu. It tasted okay, but the presentation was gorgeous. Love the little touches, like the orchid I always put in my hair. Service was friendly, maybe not as attentive as before, but still solid. Always a place I'll come back to! read more

This is hands down our favorite sushi restaurant! We love the Kimmy roll and the RB roll. We also love the Escolar. We order that and then have it a second time for dessert! We always ask for extra lemon slices and they are very accommodating. Service is great and the dining room is roomy and comfortable. Every time we leave we plan our next visit. Highly recommend RB Sushi!! read more

This is the sushi place with the huge ceiling fan, I call it. Besides that, their actual menu and food are both creative and tasty. A couple highlights are their seasonal and their gluten free column on the menu which comes with gluten free soy and eel sauces if preferred. We ordered about four cut rolls a special, one nigiri plate and some hot sake. Our server was training that evening so service was a little slower but overall friendly and accommodating. Lastly, the quieter weekday crowd was small making it a nice place for conversation. read more

Came here last night with a group of people. The service was great and all the appetizers/salads and sushi rolls arrived fairly quickly and we're delicious. Good sized portions of sushi rolls, also the chicken and shrimp fried rice was delicious! Not a huge restaurant but a good size spot in RB. Also the prices for drinks were very reasonable and low for a sushi restaurant. Pictured is the One Punch Roll ($16) which is one of their many specialty rolls. read more

Went to RB sushi for my daughter's birthday dinner. She had been here for Homecoming dinner and liked it so much she wanted to go back for her birthday. The food was very good. The staff was friendly and the service was fast. They even brought out a slice of cake for her to celebrate her birthday. It had a big sparkler on it. My daughter has had candles before but not a big sparkler like this so at first she wasn't sure what to do with it. We will definitely visit this restaurant again. read more

The service was wonderful and the rolls were quick to come out. The speciality rolls were good but one was over powered by lemon and wasn't quite enjoyable, even the fish didn't taste as fresh as we would've liked. It was busy but we never felt forgotten. The sushi was okay compared to other spots in San Diego but got a delicious mochi dessert for a birthday celebration. read more

We tried RB Sushi in Rancho Bernardo for the first time, and I can confidently say I was very pleased. The food was delicious, but what truly stood out was the exceptional service. Lana was incredibly polite and attentive. She even knelt down to our level as we were seated to take our order. She offered great recommendations and she did everything with a warm smile. Her enthusiasm made us feel like valued customers, and it really elevated the entire dining experience. read more

Love RB Sushi! We usually order their sushi platters and they never disappoint. Ordering online is super easy, and while we often do pick-up when we're town, I'll definitely try delivery next time for convenience.

I love to come here with my brother when I'm in San Diego - we usually order to go, though we have eaten in, and had lovely service. They are personable and efficient, and the sushi is great!

4.5+stars and a pleasant surprise! Located in a narrow retail strip along Bernardo Center Drive just east of the 15. This place didn't look like much from the outside, but once you enter, the space is roomy and inviting. I had the pork katsu lunch special, and my wife and her mom each had the chirashi bowl. All well prepared/presented, very generous portions, and wonderful service. They also had the largest ceiling fan I've ever seen in an eatery. read more

I came with my significant other & their friend. Staff were welcoming and the atmosphere was quiet. We came at dinner time so there wasn't much customers. The entrance is small but the room is spacious. There's a wide selection of sushi rolls/handrolls/nigiri to choose from. I had appetizers of the Fried Calamari, Gyoza (6pcs). The Fried Calamari wasn't very crispy but it was tasty with the sauce of spicy mayo which made me order a lot with a side of ginger. The Gyoza was crunchy and juicy. As for the sushi rolls, I had the Garnet, Eel handroll, and my significant other had the plate full of sashimi (10pcs). The Eel handroll was very tasty. The sashimi took awhile to come out but it was still delicious. The Garnet sushi roll was very filling and the portion size was generous. Overall, I'd recommend this place for a nice gathering with friends & family or just to grab a bite. read more

The popularity on Yelp convinced me to give it a try, and I came here around 7pm, got seated right away , no line and no crowd. It was easy to park as well in the small plaza. The place is good for family and friends gathering, it has sushi bar seating , also tables. The waitress "helped" me order way more than I need, and the roll I got was big with thick sushi rice, stuffed! Based on the review recommendation, I also ordered the lobster roll thing topped this grilled thing, omg , that was biggest failure, greasy and heavy , basically my taste bud rejected to take more after one bite. I had to keep drinking water wash off the greasy oily taste. Usually sushi means something lite and fresh, the food I ordered here totally against what it is. Sorry I have to give it 2 stars read more

Sushi rolls were huge. The rice and fish ratio were perfect. We got the Pink roll, Poway roll and dynamite. Everything was delicious. Our server was attentive. She would refill our water and ginger. It's a good ambiance for friends to hang out. I saw a sign on the table that if you come between 3 and 5pm, you get 20% off. read more

I used to come here all the time for a casual sushi bite but sadly the quality has really gone downhill in the last year or so. When I do visit now (which is infrequently), I really only order the Crunchy Roll or Chicken Fried Rice due to having a couple questionable experiences with some of their other raw rolls. Dine in service is okay. It's not typically too busy but somehow still takes awhile to get your food. When ordering online for takeout they always seem to miss something so I recommend double checking your order before leaving. It's a bummer because my mom and I used to enjoy coming here together, but we have since found a new go-to sushi place. read more

4 stars for the food and service, 1 star for the cleanliness. The hostess was the friendliest and seated us promptly. She reminded me of Erin from the show The Office :) Upon sitting down my arms were stuck to the surface of the table. I looked down on the floor and could immediately spot trash and see where things hadn't been cleaned in a while. There were fingernails that were visible and dusty as well. Menus also had a scent like they aren't wiped down regularly. The food was really good with the exception of the spicy yellowfin wonton tacos, which even after notifying the waitress that I didn't like them, she still chose to leave on my tab and made me pay for (I had one bite and left the whole thing). Other than that, flavor was great with all the rolls we had. I want to say I'd come back, but cleanliness is a huge factor for me and I'm not sure right now. read more

Was not a fan of the chicken teriyaki rice bowl. The teriyaki sauce just wasn't that great and they did not put enough sauce on it. The sauce was honestly a bit spicy, I prefer when my teriyaki sauce is sweet. I also wish they used normal rice instead of sticky rice for their fried rice. Fast service and good portion size though. read more

I have been coming here for almost three years now, and it is hands-down the best sushi place in this area. Their rolls are fresh and tasty, their drinks are cost-effective and delicious, their ramen is quick and easy, and the staff is always super helpful and quick. Recently, they updated their menu to incorporate even more options, and I honestly couldn't have been happier. I love a good Japanese curry, but I always had to go elsewhere when I craved it since they didn't offer it. But now with the new menu, they do!!! And it's a MASSIVE serving, I usually have to talk half of it home for dinner. Win/win! I just love this place. I'm always looking forward to the next time I get to go (usually office lunch outings). I highly recommend! read more

We moved to RB last year and have been looking for a great sushi restaurant. Well yesterday we went to RB Sushi and found it. It was clean and the tables are spread out so you don't feel uncomfortable. I ordered the Langostino Lover roll and it was awesome, and huge! It was baked to absolute perfection. For my second roll I had the Super Scallop roll. I always get a scallop when I have sushi and this was the best ever. My wife had the spicy tuna roll and that also was spot on. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly. We will definitely be going back soon! read more

Unfortunately RB sushi's value has gone down quite a bit. We came twice in the past 2 months and it's been mostly empty from 2-5pm. The sushi rolls are heavy on rice and not much on creativity. They're not bad but I think for happy hour, the prices should be a little lower than 20% off. Everyone misses their OG AYCE option. Service is friendly and efficient. read more

So disappointed because this used to be my go to sushi restaurant. We would always bring friends & family & recommend but the last few times we have gone, the quality has gone down significantly. The rice is hard, quality of fish is low often with a fishy smell & fried foods taste of old oil. I hope they are able to turn things back around so this can become a favorite again in the future! read more

Years ago, I used to frequent here almost every week. It was the sushi spot to go. Great AYCE and 40% off Mondays. Unfortunately with the pandemic, like many other restaurants, they had to alter their operations. Very understandable, but with my recent experience, it seems like they've haven't been able to fully bounce back. I came here on a Sunday night, was seated right away as the restaurant wasn't very full. I was super excited to do AYCE again since it's been so long since I've been back. But unfortunately the waitress told us they stopped AYCE since the pandemic. My fault for not checking ahead of time but it was okay. We ended up ordering the Oh No roll, UFO roll and Baked Zarigani roll. All tasted good, kind of how I remembered. I wanted to order a few more side dishes but hard to justify without AYCE. But to note, a few of my old favorites are the cream cheese wontons and salmon nigiri. Overall, my latest experience was fine. Food was fine, service was standard. I just feel like it was missing the spark it used to have years ago. It was different coming in and not seeing the crowd it used to have. If they start AYCE again I might be tempted to come back again. read more

I had an oyster shooter and within hours had explosive diarrhea. Not just a little bit but so mush that I literally could not move and was forced to wear diapers I cannot remember ever being this sick We spent over 100 dollars in there. I attempted to call yo speak to someone but they dont answer their phone. I can imagine why. There are other sushi restaurants in Escondido and I would strongly recommend you go to one of them. Not only because of the food poisoning but also because you cannot reach anyone to discuss it with. Fortunately the Health Department answers their phone read more

It's been years since enjoying an authentic Japanese meal at RB Sushi. I remember my first time was a AYCE Sushi meal and it was it was amazing!!! The restaurant was packed with patrons and the ambience was electric!!! Each time driving home on northbound 15, I would glance over and remember fondly that night!!! Today, it was a lunch date with my beloved and the impression I got when we entered the door was "sophistication"! I remember how the old restaurant was crowded and dark (maybe because it was nighttime) and feeling how it seemed like we were in Japan (like how on YouTube the restaurants were shown as being small and tight on space). Now, the restaurant was warm and sunny and bright with lots and lots of space!!! However, the food is still delicious!!! Had a salmon skin roll, with the skin crisp as bacon, full of umami and healthy Omega-3s. I also had the chicken katsu Lunch Special which was wonderful. The menu seemed more extensive than before and definitely easier to read with my older eyes. Definitely coming back!!! The servers were friendly and efficient (meaning the cooks were quick and there were less than 10 guests in the restaurant, perfect timing to enjoy our lunch). Will definitely be coming back for more!!! Domo arigato gozaimasu!!! Ichiban ii desu ne!!! Karera wa saikōdesu!!! read more
