    Sashimi
    Julia L.

    This place is my absolute favorite sushi restaurant! The prices are a little intimidating but once you start eating you can see why, the fish and seafood is of the highest quality in the area. The sashimi and rolls are absolutely beautiful and taste amazing, I've never had anything like it. It's definitely a wonderful place to go to treat yourself every now and then. It also has a great ambiance and soothing mood about and and I love everything about it!

    Miso good

    The sushi was good. The miso was good. The service was good. The sushi chef owner was nice. His wife, the waitress was nice. It was more expensive than Normal.

    Asked for a roll the said no we asked why and said no why... should I say more? Food was ok but come on why can you have better customer service please. It's not hard give a reason that's just rude. Not cool. Sorry not to be negative but just be nice not mean. Sushi is everywhere so step up.

    Ridiculously good, frickin good, amazingly good, come back tomorrow good, never had it before good, want more good, pants are too tight good, you haven't lived until you come here good. Highly recommend the omakase!!! Seriously this is incredible sushi with much thought and love behind the preparation.

    I just stumbled upon this restaurant and WOW is it delicious!!!! The baked salmon roll was to die for! This will definitely be my new go to sushi spot!

    Best tuna & salmon I've ever had and I order it every time I go to a sushi place. The sushi chef was friendly and very helpful! The sushi as fresh as you can get. They get their fish 6 days a week... I'll definitely be coming back here regularly!

Realistically it's a 4.8 for me which is saying a lot. Let's begin with the service; the service is great, no complaints. The ambience is nice, the World Cup was playing so win win. Food: Edamame: warm and seasoned well California roll: made to perfection Spicy tuna crispy rice: WOW the cilantro and raw jalapenos is chefs kiss- this is a must Yellowtail roll: elite, every bite felt like a breath of fresh air, I was genuinely impressed Soy paper salmon: a unique roll that taste like a proper Oceanside appetizer I am genuinely impressed. As an LA girly, this place blew every sushi place out the water for me back home. Can't wait to be back.

I ordered a spicy seafood udon, but it only contained two pieces of mussel, a few tough, dried calamari rings Finger size), a couple of tiny scallops about the size of baby fingernails, and three pieces of baby shrimp. The soup lacked any seafood flavor and had an overly salty, unappealing red color. The price seemed unreasonable compared to the quality of the food. It's no surprise that they only had two tables occupied on a Saturday afternoon at 1:30 PM. I recommend they consider changing the restaurant's name from "Sushi Kara" to "Kara Sushi." If they are truly Japanese, they would understand the significance of this.

Stop by next door to get my nails done for a wedding and decided I had some time to kill before my next meeting so I stop by. Keep in mind this was after the lunch rush so plenty of seating and no wait time i got in around 2;53pm and was pretty happy to be seated right away. I was hungry and I missed eating here, prices were still affordable and delicious. My meal came out to be less than $25 and yes, that is with tip. I ordered an appetizer of Shrimp and Vegetable tempura, coke and a shrimp & veggies tempura udon. Perfect combo on a gloomy day, and honestly, I need to head here more often. I did past by the other day right before 6pm and there were people waiting outside for a table so it's a great spot. I'm telling you guys, its the go to place in SC. Their sushi is pretty darn fresh too, if you don't want to drive all the way to Irvine or L.A.

It does feel a little cramped inside but they do their best to accommodate as many diners as they can. The two servers were running around and being efficient and attentive as possible which I recognized and appreciated. Looking at the menu, they have a variety of sushi rolls and other non-fish options such as udon and teriyaki plates. Also, I felt like I was transported to pre-2010 days with the prices. Never seen a menu with prices under $15 for everything and $3.50 for a handroll? It's no wonder why this place is poppin. To be honest, while the fish quality is not stellar, it still tastes good and flavors are satisfying. Plus considering the price, you can't expect to have 5 star cuts. I would recommend the tataki special roll (spicy tuna with seared cajun tuna on top) and the baked salmon roll (CA roll with baked salmon eel sauce on top), these two were my favs. I would recommend!

I ended up here in the middle of the day while working in the area. Never been before. I try to avoid chains when I can and pick something new each time. This place caught my eye, and I'm glad I walked in. It's a small, family-run vibe -- and I mean literally. Looked like a husband and wife running everything themselves. They were both super polite, calm, and you can tell they really care about the food and about every guest who walks in. No rush, no attitude, just warm hospitality. I went with something safe for me -- ramen and salmon sushi. And both were just... really solid. Not overcomplicated, not trying to be something fancy. Just good food made right. The broth had depth, noodles cooked right, and the sushi was fresh with balanced flavor. No complaints there at all. The place itself is small. Not a big dining room. A few tables inside, clean but definitely more of a takeout-focused spot. They don't have a restroom available inside, which kind of confirms that they expect people to grab food and go. And honestly -- I would. Not because it's bad to sit there -- it's fine. But this is the kind of meal that hits even better sitting somewhere by the ocean with the breeze. I'd definitely order takeout from here and eat outside by the water next time. I paid around $30, which is very fair for the quality, especially in California. They do ask about tip at checkout before you get your food -- that part always feels a bit weird to me, but I get it. Overall -- 5 stars for the food and the heart behind the place. I'll remember it. And I'll be back -- probably to pick up a to-go order and take it straight to the beach.

Either way, the staff here will always make sure you have everything you need as long as you ask. You're free to help yourself w/ hot or room temp water at the dispenser in front of the green wall. Plenty of parking and jsyk there is no public restroom. As for the food, everything tastes great! You get a great amount of fresh fish for the most affordable prices in the area. The sushi rice tastes good and I appreciate how the rolls aren't stuffed w/ rice to make up for the lack of fish. I especially like the Aloha roll, Lollipop roll, Crunch (shrimp tempura) hand roll, and the sashimi & carpaccios are all fresh. Love how you can get pickled wasabi (real wasabi) for a reasonable up-charge. All of their salad dressings are made in-house too! Great place for a quick & casual bite to eat. They got treats for dogs and lots of friendly vibes to share. Super accommodating to all, and can confidently say that they treat their regulars so well. Always happy to support a local, family-owned business! Thank you :)

There is very limited parking and even though it is not always busy you may want to make a reservation because of how limited the seating is. Food quality is good. The fish is very fresh, the salads are well dressed, and they do have gluten-free soy sauce when asked for. We had a Baja Crudo, we had bluefin Nigiri, shotgun roll, house, salad, edamame, a side of rice. The rolls could have been wrapped a little tighter, in our role, we did have a little bit of the fish that couldn't be eaten due to it being not as well cleaned and chopped as the rest, and the edamame serving was a bit small. Service is very friendly. Expect a slower pace as the restaurant is very calm and casual. It is in an older building and the ambience is amazing during the day when you can see the ocean but very rootsy, and a little rundown at night. Overall, we had a nice dinner at a very reasonable price and will probably try it out again.
