Had a really fantastic dinner here. We had: the mixed tempura, which had a piece of broccoli which is my favorite. The sauce was great; a bit more vinegar really made it pop compared to the usual sweet one-note sauce you get at most places. The escolar nigiri. Very fresh and tasty! A yellowtail roll. Again, very clean taste. The nigiri sampler, which had shrimp, salmon, yellowtail, albacore, mackerel, tuna, and snapper. Again, tasty, fresh, well made Overall the nigiri were smaller than most places I've been to recently, but well made and well-priced. With a couple large sapporos the wife and I were very happy. It also looks like they have a solid happy hour Tues-Fri 2-5pm. The service was very pleasant. We were there early, so the sushi chef was also our server. He was very nice and we all enjoyed a bit of the World Cup on tv. The restaurant is small: 4 tables and 5 seats at the sushi bar; however, the decor is very cool. I especially liked the huge murals on the walls. Overall 10/10 experience and we will be back! read more

It's been so hot, sashimi sounded good. Wow yellowtail was so delicious and service was so friendly. I love everything about this place!

Omg, what a find! We stopped in for a quick snack before heading to the escape room a couple doors down, and wow, I'm so glad we did. This little spot totally surprised us. The fish was super fresh, the rice was on point, and that sauce on the rainbow roll? The best I've had. Honestly, all the rolls were tasty, but if you come here, the rainbow roll is a must. Service was fast and super friendly. The sushi chef looked like he was having the best time making rolls, you could just tell he loved what he was doing, and it showed in the food. Parking was easy, prices were great, and while the space is on the smaller side, it makes the vibe perfect for a date night or grabbing good food with a few friends. Also the art on the wall is a total vibe. read more

I have ordered delivery from here and it was fine. Last night I went in and order to go and it was not good. I ordered the chicken bento box and the chicken was so overcooked that I could not eat it. The Philadelphia role was mostly rice but the albacore roll was ok. I spent over $40 and couldn't eat the chicken. I waited almost 20 min to order and it was very loud inside . I didn't mind the music at all but everyone seemed to know each other. It was not inviting and felt like if you didn't know the chef or servers you had to wait and received subpar service It was not crowded or close to closing so I won't be back. read more

Delish food!! We passed by here all the time but never tried til now. Love the adamame garlic sauce. The batter for tempura was perfectly light and flavorful. This is our new local sushi spot now. read more

Best rolls in Vista! Delicious, and a great price. While the place is rather small, with a total of 21 seats (4 tables of 4 seats, 5 at a bar), the owner was just the sweetest and cutest guy. His smile was gorgeous. As long you don't mind a wait, then this is the place to go! We ordered 2 Reasons and the Fury Roll (which was the staff recommendation). The 2 Reasons is a shrimp sushi roll with torched salmon, honey, and (I think) avocado/cream cheese. The flavors were subtle and don't overpower any of the other ingredients. The Fury Roll, topped with eel sauce and spicy mayo, was a bundle of warm flavors wrapped up on my taste buds. I'm not a spicy mayo person... but gosh, was this just a wonderful dish to have. And to top it off--the gyoza has the most gorgeous coloring that I had ever laid on eyes at any sushi place. The crunch, the folds... the sauce. It was perfect. I miss the food in my mouth already. read more

Our family loves sushi and we eat sushi in many different places but Sushi 4 Reel has the best. The owner has always been very kind and welcoming for years. If you enjoy sushi, please give this place a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

The food is amazing. Made to order by the owner/chef. Monkey Balls is our starter always. WOW! Ambiance is more on the relaxed, fun and great, great food. read more

Quality over quantity. This place has been open for a while and I kind of regret not trying it sooner. There are lots of sushi restaurants in and around North County but they all seem to kind of have the same generic menu with the same rolls that have the same bland taste... but not Sushi 4 Reel. Food: *Diablo Roll - habanero sauce (If you're a spicy connoisseur like myself, try this) - Inside: imitation crab, shrimp tempura Top: fresh salmon Sauce: habanero *Post workout Roll - No carbs. Bold in flavor, possibly too much sauces but still delish. Inside: yellowtail, spicy tuna, salmon. Top: same as inside Sauces: cilantro, lemon, and "magic" *Reel lemon Roll - Refreshing & light. Inside: imitation crab, shrimp tempura. Top: salmon, yellowtail Sauce: citrus splash *Teriyaki Salmon bento box (devoured before I could snap a photo) - The gyoza and shrimp/veggie tempura were hot and crispy, perfectly cooked salmon, all on top of the best sushi rice I have ever eaten. I must say.. I am a really big fan of all the unique & flavorful types of sauces on each of the rolls. Service: I'm pretty sure it was the owner (only one running the show) that took care of us. Service was overall extremely friendly, attentive, and quick as can be. Definitely will be back to check out the happy hour but glad to say, I think I found my new go to spot. read more

Food was really good and high value. The service was really slow. I take notice when the server keeps her head down in order to intentionally ignore customer requests. Most of the questions will add to the bill (and the tip) so I don't get it. read more

We have been to this place several times. Their portions are really good and the favor is excellent. Small but mighty. Service can be slow at times but that's because only one chef and he is working it. Be patient and enjoy. read more

Great sushi, atmosphere, prices. Friendly staff and kid friendly. Definitely will be back.

Great and diverse sushi and sashimi selection with an intimate setting that is great for small groups or solo diners looking for an inviting ambiance. I have no idea why this place isn't packed...maybe it's the time of day (usually off-peak hours like 2 PM or close to closing), but I'm glad we found this little gem and look forward to coming here more often. read more

Small but tasty! Appears to be owner operated, although I didn't ask. Tried four rolls, enjoyed them all.

I cannot believe how GOOD this place is! Looking for amazing sushi in N. County and this little gem in O'Side did not dissapoint!

I love Sushi for Reel, we live close and have made this a weekly tradition to eat at. The food is always on point, service is always great and we love the music that is played! So happy with this cute little place! Highly recommend! Prices are really good too!! read more

Sushi 4 Reel - Prada roll in the front, custom roll in the back. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Oceanside, California

Good place to grab whatever they have on the menu. It is all good eating. Great atmosphere

Put in an order. Immediately got a call that didn't leave a voicemail. Showed up 30 minutes later (the time the app told me to pick up at that time) and they claimed to have left a voicemail saying it would be another 20 minutes. Then we open up this garbage of sushi. The dream roll sucks. The reel lemon had nothing on it of the description. No lemon and cream cheese in it (specifically ordered this roll because I hate cream cheese). And this crunch roll? Do you see any crunchy bits? Nothing on there. This is so completely disappointing to spend this money on terrible sushi. I want my money back. read more

A friend invited me to dinner tonight and she took me to Sushi4Reel, a place she has been to many times and raves about, and this being my first time. Gurrrrrlllllllll! She was not lying! This place was amazing. Quick, friendly, and great service and reasonably priced. Even had a chance to interact with the owner who was great and very personable. Everything was fresh and made to order. We ordered the spicy edamame, 2 Spring Breaks, and 2 Dreams. I'll definitely be coming here again and highly recommend it to anyone needing a sushi fix. read more

Perhaps if we had tried some Sushi4Reel specialty rolls we would have been more impressed. We wanted to try a new sushi place & based on the high Yelp ratings we came here. Unlike our usual sushi places, Love Boat & Hooked on Sushi, we got a table right away. Which was amazing because it's a tiny place. I ordered the Sushi Variety plate (see photo) & the others in my party ordered the Sushi 4 Reel Special #2 chicken teriyaki plate & the Special Sushi 4 Reel salmon bento box. Unfortunately because of "too many tickets coming in" (server comment), the 6oz teriyaki chicken came alone with no rice or tempura roll. It's usually served with a tempura roll but that came much later. So it was a small amount of bare chicken on a big plate, no rice. The bento box came with rice but the salmon portion was tiny. My plate of sushi was last to arrive, everyone else had finished. I was underwhelmed. To be fair, their specialty rolls look great & I think they are the reason for their high ratings. My nigiri portions were tasty but small - the spicy tuna hand roll tasty but basic. If you order any special plate or sushi plate, order more because you'll still be hungry. There is only one sushi chef so if other tables are ordering a lot, your experience may be the same as ours with items coming out one at a time. I hope to try them again on a better night. I'll definitely order a couple of their specialty rolls. read more

We went to try this Sushi place out on Tuesday evening. The owner was alone here on Tuesday night. He looks busy for being by himself but he still got everything done and everything was good. He told us that on weekend he will have more staff for faster service. We will come again since the food are great and he is very nice. read more

Food and service are amazing here! This is our #1 sushi spot of all time. The fish is top quality and tastes super fresh! Everything we've had is so good that it is disappointing to try other sushi places only to find that no other place beats Sushi4Reel. Our faves are the salmon skin hand roll, soft shell crab roll, and salmon belly. These may sound basic, but I believe it takes a special craft and talent to make what may sound basic into something amazing! The salmon skin hand rolls have that perfect crunch and flavor! Please come & enjoy the endless selection of high quality sushi here...you will not regret it! read more

First time there today for lunch. First it's great to find a really good sushi place near us! The atmosphere is fun and upbeat and so is the service at this restaurant. Ordered some of the specialty rolls. Incredible.....try the Orgasm roll. Really good! read more

Great vibes, service was great and the food was amazing. Definitely somewhere I'd come back to.

Best sushi in Oceanside. Great food, great vibes. Highly recommend this spot all around.

It was okay. Nothing too special and the flavors did not really wow me much but it was not bad. I think it was a solid 3 star for me. The hubby got a grilled chicken with teriyaki sauce that also came with salad, soup, and a full crunchy roll. I decided to get the Hawaiian roll, Paradise roll, and the Spring break roll. The Spring break roll was the best out of all the rolls but it was super drenched with spicy mayo. It was a very quaint shop with only about 5 tables. Since this is farther from my house and we have so many sushi places near us, I probably will not be back. If I lived closer and really had a craving for sushi then I would come again just for the convenience. Again solid 3 for me. They do have some happy hour times which is a plus. read more

Can't believe it took me so long to try this place out! I'm from Orange County and have been here for four years. My girlfriend has told me great things about this place but I never gave it a chance until today. The menu is filled with several rolls/combinations I had never seen before and while I was originally looking for some of my "usuals", my girlfriend and I had a great time going through the menu and trying new things out together. The flavors were unique but didn't stray too far from what someone would expect from traditional sushi rolls. I definitely look forward to trying out the rest of the menu. The server was very kind, knowledgable, and attentive with a great personality (and cool glasses). I am sad that I didn't catch his name but I hope i'm lucky enough to have him as my server when I go again. Definitely lives up to the hype that other commenters have said (didn't even realize until I came to leave my own review!). I'll see you all soon! 감사합니다! read more

Great vegan options! I love this place and don't forget to stop by for happy hour, Monday through Friday from 2-5 PM. I'm vegan and have never had an issue finding something to eat here. My go-to orders are the miso soup, edamame, vegetable roll, and avocado roll. read more

Pretty good place. Wanted some sushi for a quick dinner so we decided to stop here tonight for dinner. It reminds me of this sushi place where I used to live by Cal State San Bernardino. The owner is the only one making the rolls behind the counter. Same thing here. First when we walked in 3 parties followed behind us. They told us to sit at one of the tables since it's only 6 tables and the counter. When we sat down we were created by staff super cool, and everything. Menu has variety which is good, but don't buy a soda... we ordered sprite thinking it would come from a fountain but it was just one cam for $3 basically... we got our tempura shrimp for app that was really good. Honestly, like I'm picky about my tempura batter but this was great. Then we got chicken katsu for daughter but it's not pictured. She ate the rice which is good. Then my husband got the Dream roll he loved it, & I got the charger roll, it wasn't super cold, but a little too warm for my liking, but still a good (simple) roll. Total wasn't bad. For everything paid about $50. Including our $3 soda. It's really good and highly recommend, especially for price and if you want sushi close to your neighborhood. Pros: fairly priced, small & local business, good food. Cons: don't buy soda, no super extravagant rolls read more

I wanted to try this place because of their "good" reviews. However, it was NOT a good experience. And if I could I would give them 0 stars. They only have 4 tables. Music was loud and service was bad. Almost 1.5hrs after we arrived we were still waiting for our sushi rolls. All of a sudden, the manager/owner (?) comes to our table acknowledging it has been too long of a wait for our food. And while we were still waiting for our food she offered "MORE FOOD" to make up for the long wait. Why would we want more food if we were still waiting for the food we ordered 1.5 hrs earlier????? Then she offered some "sake" instead, but I didn't want drinks.... I just wanted our food to be served. Even after she acknowledged that we waited too long, we finally started getting our food one by one. I really wish we would have left like the people at the table next to ours did. Immediately after serving us the last dish we ordered, the waitress showed up with the check (I did not ask for it) and she didn't even ask if we wanted something else.... And not even a discount to make up for the wait and bad service!!!!! I'm never going back.... I can understand sometimes there are delays, but the interaction with the manager/owner (?) and the fact that she did not offer any discount says a lot about how she takes care of the clients. The sushi was just OK. read more
