Sunshine Kitchen - special Dinner Plate #1 (8pc Cali Roll) - Ramen Near Me - Oceanside, California

Best ramen we've ever had ! So good, definitely will be stopping by next time we're on our way to SD again

This is a no frills family owned restaurant located off the 5. They're across Oside high in the Walmart/Wendys shopping plaza. We started going here pre-pandemic and I'm so glad they're still around. Everything here is GOOD! The best part is they have such an extensive menu that you could fill any craving. Food. * Vegan ramen. Their vegan ramen is some of the best I've had. Even my kids love it! * Edamame. The portions for edamame is generous (especially since other places charge the same price for smaller bowls). * Karaage. You could get 3 pieces or 5 pieces. But if you get 5 pieces you might as well pay $1 more and get the karaage lunch special! It includes rice and salad. * Sunshine fries. This is a family favorite. Our kids love the sauce, fries, and the adults eat the chicken. The sauce really makes this side dish amazing! * Bake salmon roll. My favorite roll here yet. If you like salmon, you have to try this at least once. Restrooms. * Gender neutral * Sinks are outside the restrooms Service. Is great! We've had to make modifications to some items when we order and they haven't skipped a beat. They get it right every time! You can score a pretty good deal with their lunch specials! You can even order them after lunch for just + $1 more. read more

My go to spot to order miso when I'm under the weather or champion ramen when delicious ramen! It's always fresh and the people are so nice! If you order ahead for pick up you won't wait in line during lunch rush! Highly recommend! read more

Good food. Ordered the Vegas Roll, Oceanside Roll, and Karaage. Yummy and price is good too. The wait staff was efficient and nice. The restaurant is close to the beach so we didn't have to go too far. Ample parking and place is clean and nice. read more

Food was great! Service was awsome, they area is nice and great. Had a great experience and well priced!

That O-side roll with a Sapporo? The crispy bits, the freshness, the kind staff. Outdoor seating if you like read more

I ordered 5 of their $12.00 lunch specials . Ample Amounts and Yummy . I'd suggest including soy sauce packets and more Poisen sauce

There's plenty of indoor space and parking for this spot. They also have some outdoor patio space. It gives you an open air vibe with simple decorations. You order at the front and pay before receiving your food which I would say is pretty good! The servers are nice and helpful. We'd go back again to try other stuff. :) read more

Found this unassuming Japanese restaurant after a performance at the high school across the street. Ordered at the counter where the service was very friendly. We ordered a LOT....gyoza, edamame, chicken karaage, tempura, ramen, sushi rolls, pork katsu curry, chicken teriyaki, yellowfin kama, pork fried rice, sake. It ALL HIT THE SPOT. Delicious. Nothing fancy, just well executed. So glad to find this restaurant! read more

Locally owned, comfortable diner-like atmosphere, and consistently good. Service is friendly and adept. Katsu and tempura are spot on. Most all of the rolls contain Krab, which is too bad. But, you can ask them to leave it out. Nothing fancy here, but a reliable spot. read more

Very nice sushi spot inside a strip mall. There are a few eateries and n this strip mall and we chose Sunshine Kitchen. It did not disappoint at all. Great quality food , if you're a local in Oceanside and you're looking for some Japanese cuisine I'd say give this place a try. read more

While visiting Oceanside my family of 4, were truly amazed with the quickness and quality and price of the food. Lots of care from the friendly staff really made it all around really an amazing spot. So much so that we came back again the next night. read more

I've ordered takeout from Sunshine Kitchen before when in the area. A similar menu to Teri Cafe but prices have gone up a bit since my last visit. I ordered their chicken & beef bowl plus spicy tuna handroll & it was over $20. The chicken was dry & beef stringy. Spicy tuna handroll made up for it , being really good. Maybe I should stick to their sushi. We've had their entrees before & enjoyed the food. So I'll continue to order from here & update my review if warranted. This visit had slow service & the chicken & beef bowl was just okay. Maybe just an off day. read more

Really good variety of ramen and sushi. You can get sake or a beer here. The staff is really friendly. Kind of has a casual hole in wall feel, but it's clean. I like it. read more

My husband and I love eating their food - it not only delicious but cheaper than Teri Cafe which is about $4 more. They have about the same menu and both have a similar taste. However Teri Cafe gives big plates to create an illusion that they are serving you more food pound by pound. I recommend this place over them any day! The have made mistakes on our order but they did not hesitate to fix it to make up for it. read more

Conveniently located off the Interstate which gave us a break from being in traffic. Sunshine Kitchen is located on the opposite end of Wal Mart Neighborhood Market next door to a taco shop and Pho place. Huge outdoor patio with heaters. It's a Japanese restaurant serving curries, rice bowls, plates, rolls, poke, fried rice, ramen, yakisoba/udon, hot soba/udon, salads and sides. We ordered: -spicy garlic edamame: Great garlicky sauce -Takoyaki: The least fav of all, it was a giant ball that had too much wheat flour that we just plucked out the tiny bit of octopus -chicken karaage curry over steamed rice: We asked for a higher spice level and it had all the right spice and curriness. -Oceanside roll: OMG this roll is so good. Fresh thin slices of avocado and soft shell crab. Inside had more crab and shrimp tempura. -Dinner plate #2 (chicken teriyaki over fried rice, 2 gyoza, mix tempura, Japanese potato salad, and green salad): Had a mix of everything. My fav was the Oceanside roll with the soft shell crab and avocado topping. The dinner plate was huge but I'm not a fan of the teriyaki sauce. It was thicker than normal and overly sweet. I was surprised a small place that has their hands dipped in everything may not be as good but I was wrong. The service was wonderful. You order and pay first before you sit. Sunshine Kitchen is on our list to return if we need to dodge traffic again. 4.5 stars, bumping to a 5 read more

Was looking for a simple sushi spot for a very early lunch snack and since they open at 1030, we ended up here. Korean owned Japanese food. Plenty of free parking in their lot. Decor is very cute. There is an artificial grass wall in the outside patio. Outside dining available, perfect if you have pets. You order at the counter, pay, they give you a number and bring you your food. If you need anything else, you have to walk up to the counter to ask. There are no utensils, water refills or anything accessible. You have to go and ask for anything extra that is needed. Staff is ok. Restrooms are located in the back. Sinks are communal outside of the restrooms. Food came out very quickly. They have many options on their menu, including ramen, poke, yakisoba, sushi, salads etc. So great options if you have a large group with multiple craves. The sushi was good. Felt a bit queasy as I was driving off but luckily the feeling went away. Overall great inexpensive spot. read more

Great mom and pop spot. Delicious food, great servings, honest prices. We will make the road trip to eat here again!

Ordered take out from here on Sunday! We ordered 4 rolls for around 60 with tax! Such a great price for sushi and the quality was great! We loved it and added it to the list of favorites! read more

Walked into Sunshine Kitchen hoping for tuna that whispers secrets, rice that hums jazz, maybe a sliver of uni that rewires your brainstem. What I got? Not quite. This place isn't exactly chasing Michelin stars--it's writing love letters to Japanese mall food under fluorescent lights. Don't let the Yelp hype fool you. This isn't that. It's a bento box done with surprising discipline. The ramen? Legit. Broth's got backbone. Noodles got spring. The sushi? Tight. Clean. No frills, no drama. You want toro that dissolves like a bad memory? Look elsewhere. You want a spicy tuna roll and miso that won't betray you during a Tuesday lunch spiral? You're in the right place. It's more Sushi Stop than Nobu, and proudly so. Think microwave meets mirin, but handled by someone who gives a damn. Teriyaki bowls, poke, spam musubi--it's fast food, but not lazy. Competence is the theme. Execution over ambition. Three stars if you're hungover. Four if you're feeling generous. Not a fever dream. Not a destination. But it's honest, and I think that counts for alot. read more

Very good food and pricing is reasonable. Favorite is the chicken teriyaki plate. It gives you some of everything

We ordered their tiger roll, soba noodle soup with tempura, takoyaki & steamed gyoza and all tasted great! The staff was friendly and nice, the place is clean too. We'll definitely go back to try some of their other dishes too. read more

So glad we found this place while charging EV. The place was packed with families but we easily found a place to sit. The sushi rolls were super good, the katsu plate and katsu curry even better. Great value and friendly service. Can't go wrong. Will be back. read more

Needed some ramen and found this spot near our spot nearby, I ordered the Sunshine Ramen, it was decent, not used to a pork tonkatsu on top but it was okay. My favorite was the calamari tempura!. My daughter ordered the soba noodle soup with tempura and she said the seaweed made the broth too salty for her. The staff was friendly but they don't really offer much or follow up. Place was clean and well maintained. read more

Fresh food, fast service. They pay attention to detail. Good selection of sushi, poke, ramen, yakisoba, teriyaki. Something for everyone. Has a Hawaiian theme with the potato salad on the plate (pretty good tasting) Reasonably priced with most bowls and plates under $15. The atmosphere is very chill with ambient music playing in the background. read more

Fantastic menu and prices, healthy, delicious food at an affordable price. The hand rolls are fantastic.

This place is pretty decent. Came here for lunch with some friends during work. Walk right up to the counter and ordered our food. It's a Japanese restaurant with a lot of Japanese items to choose from. We ordered the chicken karaage, house fried rice, Philadelphia hand roll and the sunshine ramen. The chicken karaage was pretty good but it isn't not karrage. Yes it was lightly batter and fried but not at all karaage. The batter had too much pepper but the chicken was good quality thigh meat. The Philadelphia hand roll was also good, great quality salmon. The house fried rice was decent nothing special. And the sun shin ramen lacked umami. No tonkotsu flavor, kind of over powered by pepper. The service was good and the restaurant had a welcoming vibe to it. I'd like to try other items on the menu but the food was really just a bit better than good. Nothing special. read more

The service was great by the staff. They offer a welcoming environment with tasty food. It was ironically a cold day this winter so I stopped by to try the Chicken Soba. The buckwheat noodles were delicious served with great portion. Overall a yummy spot to try. I'm coming back to bring the family next time & try everything else. read more

Food was pretty decent, nothing that really "stood out" to me but none of it was bad. I got one of their lunch specials which is a good amount of food for the price you are paying! I really enjoyed my lunch special (teriyaki chicken, rice, salad, 4 piece california roll) and it was only like $10! Restaurant is seat yourself, and there is spots to sit both inside and outside. The service was good, they were sweet and welcoming. I am happy to have tried this place but it is a drive from my house and i would be okay not coming back. read more
