    Protein Roll and Citrus Chili Yellowtail Sashimi
    Kate W.

    Nice sushi spot if you're in the area. The rolls and miso soup were tasty and they offer soy paper as an alternative if you prefer it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a cute outdoor patio and bar area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was very nice and attentive. The only miss here was the garlic edamame... which for some reason had cinnamon on it? I'm all for being adventurous and unique but maybe noting such a strong and peculiar flavor on the menu would be a better choice. Other than that we had a great meal :)

    Not impressed. The best part about coming here was finding a parking spot right in front and visiting with my friend from out of town. Unfortunately everything else was a disappointment. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We came here at 1215pm on a Thursday. The place was empty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were sat fairly quickly however it took our server a good 10 minutes to greet us and get us a drink. Another 10 minutes to order and over 30 to deliver our two rolls! We finally asked him why another table who walked in after us were severed first (the only other table in the restaurant) and he said... oh, there was a big TO GO order that was ahead of you. ????? We both ordered the protein roll. My friend requested sauce on the side and he had to be reminded again since they were not brought with the rolls. I love me a good protein roll but I was very disappointed with it. It tasted more like a n imitation crab roll with whatever fish on top. I also had to ask for a refill. I would not recommend this place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place also had a strange odor. Like wet dog.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was also what sounded like a pinball machine chime ringing con. I think it was their phone.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I went for lunch. They have a special and it's quite incredible. I got 2 rolls and it came with miso soup. Delicious! I got caterpillar roll and spicy tuna roll. Our waitress was great, didn't wait too long for our rolls. She checked on us when needed. Overall great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is clean, they have a nice outdoor patio with bar seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will come again.

    Got off a work trip late and wanted to find something that was in the area of my hotel. It was easy to find right off the corner. Upon arriving not very many people but nice crowd. Menus were very sticky... please clean your menus. Good variety of rolls to choose from. I like how you can scan the menu and see actual pictures of what you want to order. It does take a while for you to get food but this my favorite can't The spider hand roll was pretty tasty. It had a a lot of avocado but still good. The house salad could've used more of the ginger dressing. That miso soup was the star of the show. So good and flavor. So hot and everything. I would come back just for this. The rolls were great. They had a good variety to choose from. No shade they were slow. We didn't a refill until we were about it to leave. But over good experience here I will back.

    4 stars for value and taste of food! Great local spot in PL. They have a beautiful patio and outside bar, plus indoor tables for seating. Food specials everyday, including weekends!! What is not to love?! Sushi, specials, weekend?! Service was mediocre. But everything else makes up for it. Also!! There is a delicious ice cream place next door. Nice treat after sushi. Yummm.

    My cousin and I went here not long ago and I was shocked by how much I loved everything! My cousin is gluten free and they had so many amazing options which is rare at many Asian establishments! The crispy rice 10/10. Double crunch roll was delicious. Service was fast and definitely friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It appeared there were many regulars there![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would come back to this location for sure! Can't wait to try the one in Encinitas.

    Zesty Diego from the Competition menu

    Had a visitor in town who was craving sushi and we had only been here for a quick drink and appetizer prior to this visit. Th three of us sat at the outside bar to watch a little Padres with our meal so we were served by the bartender, Nate(?) and he was great. We were starving so we ordered 4 full rolls and a few side dishes and apps. The miso soup to start was amazing. I have been subjected to some pretty crappy miso as of late. This miso had a mushroom/umami undertone that made it so much more than the usual. We got two rolls off of the competition menu between the different locations. And two rolls off the standard menu. They were all delicious. Some more jam packed than the others and hard to get in your mouth but not a deterrent for me. I'd definitely say the competition rolls were fun but decidedly more full. Personal favorite was the happy wife. We also got some cucumber salad and seaweed salad. I didn't know the cucumber salad came with the latter as well but I enjoyed the extra and ate it all! So ono!! Some folks were still hungry so we got the salmon carpaccio style dish. It reminded me of smoked salmon on a bagel. Wasn't my fave but the fish was good and my dinner partners loved it. Throughout our meal we had pleasurable interactions with our server/bartender who balanced the thirst needs of the bar and restaurant patrons very well. Excellent experience. I'll be back because I signed up for their rewards program as well. Seems like a good deal.

I was really impressed with both the flavor and the quality of the food. The Orion draft beer was great too. I came by myself today and enjoyed sitting at the sushi bar, but next time I definitely want to bring my family. The asparagus bacon skewers and momo tare (chicken) skewers were both delicious, and I really enjoyed the Spider Roll as well. And the tuna... wow. It was so rich and full of that fresh, deep tuna flavor. I highly recommend the tuna! And the Aburi Garlic Butter Salmon Belly... this is an absolute MUST-TRY. Seriously, I can't recommend it enough. It literally melts in your mouth! I'm definitely looking forward to coming back and trying more items next time.

Service was pretty good all evening except for a late dish being served. Great people watching, delicious food, an expansive menu and they have their legendary peanut butter whiskey. Delish!

I know people who love this place so much that it is part of their regular rotation. Me being born and raised in San Diego without ever trying it almost felt like a crime. I finally decided it was time to pay a visit. We came with a party of five. The seating setup was a little different from what I expected. We ended up at a long picnic table style booth that we shared with another couple. It honestly was not an issue since there was still plenty of space. It was just a different concept for me. The servers were super friendly and bubbly. They moved fast too. Our food came out pretty quickly. We ordered the Char-grilled Beef, Eggroll & Cold Vermicelli Noodles, Fresh Spring Rolls, the famous Spicy Garlic Wings plus the Korean Beef Short Ribs. The Fresh Spring Rolls were good. They were filled with shrimp, thinly sliced pork, lettuce, vermicelli noodles, basil plus bean sprouts. The peanut plum hoisin sauce definitely carried them though. Add some of their chili sauce into it too. Delicious. Now for the Spicy Garlic Wings. I know everyone raves about these, but honestly, based on the ones we got, I feel like I would rather have Wingstop. They were really dry. I even asked a friend who has been here before if that was normal. Apparently they are usually not like that, so maybe we just caught them on a bad day or they spent a little too much time in the fryer. Either way, they had definitely lost a lot of their moisture. The flavor was there, but the dryness made it hard for them to really stand out to me. My favorite was easily the Korean Beef Short Ribs. They came out sizzling over caramelized onions with a generous amount of marinated meat. Great flavor. Great texture. Delicious. This was probably the one dish I would order again without thinking twice. The Char-grilled Beef, Eggroll & Cold Vermicelli Noodles were fine. The noodles were a little too bouncy and chewy for me. They almost tasted slightly underdone. The grilled beef had great flavor though. Once everything was mixed with the fish sauce, it came together much better.

And this review is after that experience, so we can compare and contrast things like pricing and quality. When you come here you must bring a loaded wallet. To try a sour beer or any of their Russian River beers, (which was a surprise to us that there even was beer coming out of Russian River, a place I love for wine) .... is $19 for a bottle. And if you've never tried a sour beer and no one likes it, there are no returns. You pay your money and you take your chances. They are creative at The Joint. I mean an eel roll with macadamia nuts is a brilliant twist on sushi. The second thing we try is their soft shell crab roll. Delicious. Everyone at the table 'seconds' these comments. I ask someone on the way in, seated at a table eating sushi if it is good. He says: "I'll let you know". Later, he comes back to our table to let me yes! It's really good". So is this a good place to go for Sushi? The answer is yes. Is it a little confusing as an asian fusion place to have so many diverse choices? The answer is yes, but I also admit I do like all the options. Again, they call their Happy Hour food 'Tapas'. Is that Spanish, or is it just me? Japanese fried chicken or an arugula salad or oysters? lol Your taste buds must travel all over the place and that's hard on the palate and my headspace of 'what am I eating'? Is it overpriced? The answer is yes! And if I'm being honest, it surprises me that no one else on yelp is mentioning this. If money is not an issue and you want good sushi, our group recommends trying The Joint. Just don't count on happy hour having happy prices. $4 for an oyster is not happy! It's regular priced. Maybe even over priced for a happy hour menu where oysters come in at $1 and $2 for happy hour. And today, they are all out of oysters. lol We usually just tell you what to order when you go to a restaurant. This is the first time we have felt the need to let you know what you're in for, price wise. Sorry to the wonderful staff and great chef. No idea why they need to represent themselves as 'happy hour noon - 6pm every day', leading me to believe there is good pricing. But it's not my zoo, not my monkeys.
