    Unagi
    Amy L.

    I should have paid more attention to the 1-2 stars reviews! Here are the reasons why I gave it one star.... Service: the servers were nice, but service was very slow. There were only 2 groups of people in the whole entire restaurant, but water and food took some time to come out. Food: the food with seasoning like unagi sushi and miso soup were so salty! The miso soup had 2 pieces of tofu and no seaweed in it. The flat iron steak skewers were overcooked. The only meat dish that was good was the Korean bbq ribs. The fish was pretty fresh, but the rice, OMG So Much Rice! This ayce sushi restaurant has the most amount of rice compared to all the other ones I've been to. And I ordered bluefin tuna, but look at the picture! Does that look like bluefin tuna to you? My family said it looked like tuna sushi from a Chinese buffet lol. I've had plenty of bluefin tuna and that was not it. Sad to say... trust the 1 and 2 stars reviews.

    This restaurant was a let down for us. Service was good and our server was friendly. Parking lot is very high and parking is free. Establishment is clean and orderly, although some booths have ripped seats patched with tape. Food quality was a disappointment for the price point of $45/ayce. The miso soup came out cold and flavorless. Baked mussels tasted like they were canned. The mussels were not attached to the shell and once we removed the mound of imitation crab realized that they were cut into small chunks. All of the sushi was pretty bland, the hand rolls had a lot of rice, small amount of protein (excluding the salmon hand roll). I'm noticing this restaurant has 4 stars, I'm not sure why, maybe we went on a bad day or it has new management. Either way, not worth a second try for us.

    Black dragon roll - a great choice if you like eel!

    This place is undiscovered! Really yummy food, service is warm and friendly (a rarity these days) and the all-you-can-eat is a great deal. I also really enjoy the environment, it's comfortable and spacious. Not too loud, a place you can relax and stay a little while. Highly recommend!

    This one's a bit of a letdown, not gonna sugarcoat it. We were so excited for an all-you-can-eat sushi place right by the house, but the sushi quality just wasn't there for the price so kind of a bummer honestly. The bright spot was their Korean barbecue-style plates, those were good and included in the AYCE.

    Galbi ribs with delicious veggies
    Gid K.

    Large clean restaurant good for groups, with a very nice outdoor patio with fire pits. We did AYCE for 6 - $50 per adult, then two cheaper tiers for kids. The shrimp ebi sushi is sweet and delicious. All of the food is very fresh. The Korean bulgogi udon was decent, but a good option for cooked food and kids. The galbi ribs were better, very tender, with tasty stir-fried veggies. Spider roll and fried crab were delicious. The cooked rolls are very filling, so keep that in mind for AYCE - the Dragon roll was very rich and savory, but also very good! The service was a bit off at the start, as the owners were helping on the floor and it's still relatively new. They forgot a few dishes or sent them to different tables, but we could've been more on top of our orders. Overall, very good experience. Plenty of parking in the lot.

    OCEAN BEACH (O.B.)/ALBACORE ROLL

    I arrived as they were opening and sat while they finished setting up. Great location, quick service. So far so good. Food came out quick and it was also great quality and presentation. I wanted a chirashi bowl but they did not have it on the menu so I tried a couple of their signature rolls. The OB and the IB. The IB was tuna on a spicy tuna roll. 8/10. The spicy mayo on top was too sweet and kind of took away from the flavor of the tuna. The OB was albacore over a spicy tuna roll. 10/10. The flavors were perfect. Citrusy and tangy. Good experience at this spot that happened to be next to a charged station for my EV. Complimentary edemame, plenty of fresh ginger on the side. Great find. Missed a bit on one roll but otherwise a great experience!

    Korean-style BBQ RIBS

    ROBATA-X SUSHI and IZAKAYA feels like a Love Boat Sushi (Blue Ocean) spin off with an AYCE option. very similar approach. some hits. some misses. went for lunch. service was spot on. started off with the PORK GYOZA. they were glorious. might be the best I've every eaten. really hoping they weren't mass-produced somewhere and then freezer to frying pan. either way, things were off to a great start. the SALMON, BLUE FIN TUNA, and FATTY ALBACORE nigiri were high average. the fresh wasabi was a nice touch. the RHODE ISLAND CALAMARI could have been a little crispier but still very good. the ROBOTA portion lunch was disappointing. the WAGYU MEATBALLs were dry and had the texture and mouth feel of reheated leftovers. the PORK BELLY was insipid. beige exterior was desperately in need of a good char. pork looked and tasted like it had been skewered, steamed, and sauced. the JAPALENO POPPERS (in: panko fried spicy krab and cream cheese stuffed jalapeno. out: avocado, spicy aioli, unagi sauce, and micro greens) were just plain awful. a ton of places around these parts (like MIKKO and HOOKED ON SUSHI) make REALLY good ones. ROBATA-X: send your kitchen guys over there and figure it out. some of the rolls were also problematic: the KOBE ROLL (in: shrimp tempura, cucumber, asparagus, avocado, and krab. out: seared kobe beef, masago, and mirco greens) was no bueno. the beef looked and tasted like it had been steamed. seared? I don't think so. zero Maillard reaction. muddled flavors. so poorly wrapped, required a spoon to eat it. the BAKED FATTY BLUE FIN TUNA ROLL (in: baked toro, spicy aioli, dynamite sauce, pickled green onions, and micro greens) was poorly conceived and poorly executed. would describe the flavor profile as very fishy tasting tuna melt with LOTS of mayonnaise. so loosely wrapped, it also required a spoon to get from the plate to my mouth. the SUGAR DRAGON ROLL (in: krab, cucumber, yama gobo, avocado. out: fresh water eel, avocado, sweet unagi sauce, and dried bonita shavings) was amazing. really liked the combo flavors. winner. winner. winner. wasn't paying attention and didn't realize the KOREAN SHORT RIBS was an entree and came with rice and veggies. will adjust my order next time. good flavor. meaty ribs. will take a couple of visits to figure out the menu and what to order and more importantly what NOT to order. let the adventure begin.

    LEMON SALMON ROLL

    Was craving Japanese sushi, so I came here. I didn't realize it was an all you can eat sushi, but you can order a la carte. I think if you know you're going to order maybe like four items and more, it may make sense to do the all you can eat. I got the lemon salmon roll cuz salmon is like one of my favorite fish! Got it with a miso soup, and I was satisfied. I would come back to try other items on the menu!

    Michelle O.

    I've been wanting to try this restaurant since it opened. My husband and I decided to try the all you can eat menu. I would say if you want to try a couple of different rolls and items on the menu then all you can eat options is the way to go, it's $50.00 per person. Everything we got was super fresh. The lemon roll was our favorite. Our waiter was super attentive and gave us great suggestions on certain rolls we tried. I would definitely come back to try different rolls and suggest this restaurant to my family.

    Robata- X Sushi opened about 2 months ago, and judging from the Yelp reviews, it seemed like amazing spot to eat! After eating here this evening, I can confirm that I've found my new sushi spot! I did the AYCE which was $49 a person and was an absolutely awesome deal! So many delicious options! The food is very fresh and flavorful! They are all good, but my faves were the albacore sushi, king salmon sushi, and the Hermosa roll! The establishment was clean, spacious and inviting! The younger staff was super upbeat and friendly! The older staff were very polite, quiet and professional! They had a good mix of staff working together and provided great customer service! I am already planning what to order my next visit!

    It was good. Everything tasted fresh. I have not been to an ayce sushi place before but I hadn't seen any with as much variety being able to order basically anything in the menu. When we arrived we were given the à la carte menu and I was confused because I haven't seen a photo of that here. One of the workers seemed to notice and brought us over the ayce menu. For $50 we tried to eat our moneys worth. We figured the 3 of us would cost about $120 for à la carte so 30 bucks more to try some of everything seemed like the better deal. We definitely won't be back for ayce but we'll probably be back and just order our favorites. You can only order 2 items per person at a time. We ended up ordering 18 items at the end. The best was the black dragon roll, and the robatayaki: filet + pineapple and the flat iron steak. The crunch shrimp roll, gyoza and tuna crispy rice were also pretty good. Would pass on the Korean bbq ribs - had some inedible bits in it. Didn't seem as good quality as the fish was. The bao bun was supposed to be spam but I'm pretty sure it was pork belly because it did not have the texture of spam. So I would not get either one of those again personally. Service was pretty slow. It says 90 min time limit and while it's great that they aren't super strict especially given the slow service, it was a little annoying that we got there at 1230 and had an appointment at 230 that we were late to because we had to ask for the check at 2 and don't get it for like 10-15 min.

    Super excited to know that an AYCE Sushi restaurant has opened up in Oceanside! For the price of $49.99, it was pretty worth eating my weight in sushi . We were a party of 11 and we'd share different rolls and appetizers with one another so that we can try different things. Overall, the service was great and quick. The sushi tasted fresh and delicious! The king salmon was a crowd favorite and the brussel sprouts were amazing!

I'm so glad we decided to give it a try. We have several anime fans in our household, so it was exciting to recognize all the characters displayed throughout the restaurant. The kids loved them too! We were greeted immediately when we walked in, and every staff member was incredibly kind and attentive. After ordering at the counter, we took our number and found a slightly wonky--but charming and sturdy--solid-wood table. Different movies were playing on the TVs, which kept the kids entertained while we waited for our food. We ordered sushi and ramen, and my ramen was exquisite. I believe it was called the Dark Knight, and it was absolutely delicious. I was also pleasantly surprised to see Orion beer on draft. Having lived in Okinawa, where the brewery is based, it was wonderfully nostalgic and added another layer of authenticity to the experience. Everything about our visit was wonderful, and we'll definitely be dining here again. They also advertise special events inside the restaurant. I don't remember the details, but I'll be sure to check them out during our next visit!

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.

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.

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.

It's a little more expensive here compared to other Carlsbad sushi restaurants. But with your very first bite, you'll immediately realize why this sushi is a bit more expensive. It's worth it! It was a great day. The sushi melted in your mouth. Each plate of sushi was decorated by a sushi master. I've had my fair share of sushi in my life. I stated eating sushi in 1984, I'm 66 now and I still love a sushi restaurant with a bit of flare. Blue Ocean checked all of the boxes. Nothing, not one thing we ordered disappointed us. It was just the opposite, everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. It really was perfection on a plate. The service here was a level up from other sushi restaurants. It's an amazing day when great food gets combined with stellar service. Then and only then, you know it's going to be a great night out. It only takes one bad bite to send you reeling. The ambiance and the decor of Blue Ocean is top notch. I don't think anyone else can truly compete with them. We moved East 18 months ago. We have not found a sushi restaurant that can even boast reasonable sushi. But Carlsbad can. Well done Blue Ocean, you all made my day! From start to finish, your team was spot on with whatever we needed. It was the perfect storm. Sushi for everyone! We ordered the Earthquake cut role, Padres, 3 cuts of Blue Fin belly sushi, Sweet Shrimp, spicy Yellowtail cut roll, Albacore sushi, and there's more that I can't even remember right now, but we enjoyed every single bite. I highly recommend Blue Ocean. You will not be disappointed.

We had to park down in the far end in front of a Starbucks that looked closed, so I'm sure there are some peak times that this shopping center is very hard to park in so just a heads up. The restaurant itself is very beautiful inside the bar looks really great. They've got some beers on top and there's also a sushi bar that you could sit in front of. I don't know if they take reservations, but we didn't have any. It was just the two of us and we were seated at a high top right away. I think they were a little bit busy so it took a moment for somebody to come by and get our drink order we ordered a couple of beers and a little bit of sake and a couple of waters. I do want to add a sidenote that those waters never appeared, but I realize that everybody was a little bit busy that night so I'll always forgive a slight oversight. Onto the ordering, we started off the evening with the Hamachi with jalapeños over a cucumber salad, and that was delicious and then we had some sashimi, which was really good as well. My husband had ordered the crab croquettes when we got there, and it was at the end of the meal when our waitress came over after I asked about them that she said that the kitchen had just informed her that they no longer have them so a little inconvenient when like 30 minutes had passed I realized they weren't coming so it wasn't too big of a deal, but my husband was very excited about those and he didn't get them lol. My husband, I think had their namesake role and he really liked it. I had their salmon skin handle. It was all right. I really liked their avocado maki roll, but I like that everywhere. I think it was the owner or maybe a manager who came by and asked us how everything was. I let him know. It was our first time and they were gracious enough to give us a free dessert which was deep-fried Biscoff cookies with vanilla ice cream many other delicious things that I'm sure I'm not naming and everything about it was really good. Five stars for the overall experience I think we'll be back another time.

    Came here on a Sunday evening in a group of 3. The restaurant is in a plaza so there is plenty of…read moreparking. When we got inside, we were able to pick our seats. The restaurant has bar seating, where you can see the chefs prepare the sushi rolls in front of you, or regular table seating. It's spacious and clean, and they have some TVs on the wall where they were playing golf and soccer games. They offer traditional sushi offerings, such as nigiri and sashimi, and rolls, but also have hot appetizers, ramen and rice dishes. We opted to get sushi rolls this time. We ordered the spicy salmon roll, the rainbow roll, dragon roll, limitless roll, truffle shuffle roll, karaage and the 3x3 sashimi combo roll. The rolls didn't have too much rice on it and had a lot of the ingredients inside. There were about 8 pieces per roll. Our favorite ended up being the truffle shuffle roll. The fish was fresh. The karaage was lighter than I'm used to, I believe they used white meat instead of dark meat and it wasn't as oily. The staff are very friendly and attentive. They came by to ask us how we liked our food and brought us water refills. Would come here again to try the other rolls!

    Sushi time! In San Marcos to see a play and saw Sushi off the freeway so we came…read more The ambiance of this place is tranquil and chill. They have music playing in the background but it's not loud. The dining area is a little small so if you have a large crowd you may want to call ahead. They also have a small outside dining area. The service was good. They forgot our well sauce and we had to request it again. Outside of that, they're eager to answer questions and are very friendly and professional. The food was very good. Only a few things were a miss but that could be preference. The gyoza were fried perfectly and not greasy. I loved the crispness. Sadly, they lacked flavor and tasted bland. The vegetable roll was amazing. It was fresh, had crunch, and bursting with freshness. I preferred the eel deluxe roll over the dragon roll. Even though it's the same texture the flavor was nice. The eel was grilled perfectly. The dragon roll was mid. The cucumber chunks in it were too chunky and it's a bit one noted. The highlight for me was the summer roll. If you're like me and prefer sashimi over sushi with rice, you'll love this roll. It's tuna,salmon, albacore, and crab wrapped in cucumber. It's served with ponzu and spicy mayo but I requested no spicy mayo. This was bright, citrusy, and delicious. The cucumber gives it a nice contrast. If in the area, consider trying this place. It was worth trying. I rated it 4 out of 5 because there were a few flies trying to land on our food, the gyoza dumplings lacked flavor, and the dragon roll was a bit one noted.

Jalapeño cream cheese wontons and salmon hand roll were ok. The spam musubi was pretty tasty, it had pretty good flavor in the rice and spam. The lady that helped me was kind and had the best customer service. I'm not sure when this place became just a to go place, but I sure do miss when they had $1 Sapporo happy hour. It's been years since I've been here.

However, during and after COVID they seemed to suffer dramatically! While the Sushi was now just OK.. there wasn't any staff (just Husband and Wife)...so I was asked to wait outside for my order to go..?? Strange as this was a fairly large "sit down" restaurant..? Then I ordered a "take out "Shrimp and Veggie Tempura platter and WOW.. that was it! Totally"soggy " and not even close to being a nice crispy treat!...So that was it for me...!! Stopped going there for 1 year! Went back in August 2025 to see if they had made improvements...Closed Permanently!!
