    What a hidden gem! I love musubi and to see someone local making it, is awesome. You place an order online and get a text when it is ready. This is just down the street and is a great mid day treat. Will be ordering again!

    Order online https://www.thismusubilove.com Food is ONO! Service is great! These Spam Musubi are online order only and self pick up. Conveniently located in Leucadia at the Beacons Townhomes. Come try all the flavors! Classic Katsu Shrimp BBQ Chicken Mac Salad

    The food was excellent. I would highly recommend the Bachans Chicken, Tropical Heat, and Vegan. Very reasonably priced. Very easy to order. I will be coming back!

    Bachan's Chicken musubi.

    Good grub Superb little takeout spot tucked away in quiet Encinitas, This Musubi Love is making some noise with some seriously good omusubi! I picked up an order of the Katsu Spam and Bachan's Chicken. The Katsu Spam was excellently fried, perfectly crispy, and the saltiness was balanced by a sticky, sweet soy sauce on a bed of sushi rice. The Bachan's chicken came with crunchy pieces of fried chicken glazed with a sweet sauce and spicy mayo on a bed of sushi rice. Really great spot, finding the entrance was a bit tricky (maybe getting a bigger sign could help), but one phone call and they helped me find them no problem.

    Can't get enough of these! Katsu spam is my favorite but you can't go wrong with spam and cheese. Definitely try out the bachan's chicken and shrimp if you have a friend to share with. It's super easy to order online but up you have to order before the lunch or dinner window opens to pick up at the right time. Support local!

    Panko musibi, shrimp tempura musibi, classic musibi. (Poke not from here)

    I went here 3 times in 1 week! Amazing authentic Hawaiian musubis that he makes fresh, and really the only place in Encinitas/Carlsbad you can get any. I love the variations of musibis he makes anThe owner is super chill and I just think his business is unique and creative.

    Tempura shrimp, spam katsu, and regular spam with avocado.
    Jennifer R.

    I had been wanting to try this place since I heard about it, and I was not disappointed. They had a bunch of different types of musubi to choose from. I ordered a tempura shrimp, katsu style spam, and regular spam with avocado. All were super delicious and it took less than ten minutes from the time I ordered online, to someone bringing my food out to my car. Musubi is the ultimate comfort food. I'll definitely order from here anytime I'm in Leucadia.

    Cannot rave enough about this place. Amazing musubi, great owners, such an easy, hassle free ordering system. Great happy hour on Thursdays (BOGO 50% off 3-6PM)! Minutes away from beacons, bring your musubi to the beach and catch a gorgeous Leucadia sunset!

    This is a speakeasy gem! It's the perfect pitstop on your way to the beach or just a quick lunch. I've been there four times now and it never disappoints. My personal favorite item is the Bachan's Chicken. I highly recommend!

    We got the original, panko fried & the chicken

The owner, I think, is always here and she is SUPER kind and welcoming, and there is always good vibes in the restaurant. Restaurant is always clean inside and outside.

We started with edamame and miso soup, followed by the Pink Roll and my returning favorite, the Vegas Roll. The Pink Roll was fresh and flavorful, with spicy tuna and cucumber topped with salmon, avocado, and spicy mayo. The Vegas Roll was just as good as I remembered, salmon, crab, avocado, and cream cheese, deep-fried and finished with eel sauce and spicy mayo. There's a reason I ordered it again, and recommend it to anyone going. Unfortunately, customer service was noticeably lacking. We honestly couldn't tell you who our server was. Four different employees seated us, took our order, brought the food, and eventually brought water. Nobody checked on us during the meal or asked if we wanted anything to drink. I finally had to flag down a random waitress just to get water, which was never refilled. It was busier than my previous visit, so I understand the staff may have been stretched thin, but the level of customer care definitely slipped on this visit.

When he came back, he took our drink order and ran off again. We were upset at this point because we told him as we were sitting down that we ready to order. We tried to flag another server and noticed that there were only 3 servers for the entire restaurant. 45 mins in we finally got to place our order. I was really turned off by the service.

It's become our favorite date night spot, and after all this time, we've never had a bad experience. Our absolute favorite appetizer is the pork belly skewers. They are seriously unreal--they legit melt in your mouth and are packed with so much flavor. We also love the pork belly bao buns, which are just as delicious. The Brussels sprouts are another must-order. They're hands down the best Brussels sprouts we've ever had, and we can't come here without getting them. We also always order the spicy garlic edamame. The sauce is so good that we actually dip our sushi rolls in the leftover edamame sauce, and it's honestly a game changer. (The pricing is also unbeatable for how good the food is). Every sushi roll we've tried has been incredibly fresh and beautifully made. We always end up ordering way more food than we planned because everything is just that good. For drinks, the Cracked Summer is our go-to cocktail every single visit. It's refreshing, delicious, and pairs perfectly with the food. The atmosphere is perfect for a date night, the staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the quality is consistently amazing every time we visit. Blue Ocean has become more than just a restaurant to us--it's one of our favorite monthly traditions. If you're anywhere near Carlsbad, do yourself a favor and eat here. We recommend it to everyone, and we'll definitely be back next month for another amazing meal.

That was a big plus for us because we were hungry. We were seated at the main dining area but when we requested for a table so we could sit side by side versus across from each other (the room was sooo loud that we couldn't hear each other) the waiter (darned we didn't catch his name) acknowledged and rearranged a table nearby so that we could sit beside each other. Another plus! The place was busy busy and sooo noisy. We were fine with the wait to take our order (about 15 minutes), which gave us enough time to peruse the menu. We ordered the Omasake box with side of sushi rice, Salmon Teriyaki entree with xtra veggies and no rice, a side of Kale salad, and Passion Fruit Cheesecake for dessert. No menu drinks; just water, which came aplenty, as our glasses were never empty while we continually guzzled down our h20 (this summer has been such an excruciatingly hot one) - another plus for this continued h20 service! Now for our order: The Box came immediately, and without hesitation my companion dove in with chopsticks already waiting in hand. I picked on his meal, while waiting for mine. The Salmon entree came about ten minutes later, while I salivatingly and happily endulged myself with its delicious flavor. The Kale salad came quite late (almost like an after thought) as we were almost done with our main orders. The salad had an odor that wasn't quite pleasant - as probably most extremely green veggies do smell when grilled. I liked the taste; my companion did not, as he stated it tasted too bitter. I requested a side of ponzu sauce to tame down the bitterness, and I also ended up tossing some shredded white garnished radish noodles (left over from my companion's box meal) to mix in with the kale salad...hmmm, tasted better, but we eventually requested to have our salad to go. My companion was still hungry after his boxed meal; I was not, but we both agreed not to order anything more, a we awaited the dessert. The cheesecake dessert was the best part of our meal here, as the taste really pleased our still hungry palette. And yet another plus! All in all, the meal was pleasant. A little pricey (over $100) - thank goodness we skipped the drinks, less regular h20. Would we return? Sure. Service was great, and food was pretty good. Just a bit pricey... but then again, most sushi and seafood eateries are. There is plenty of parking and a plethora of other eateries nearby. If ones palette begs to differ from sushi or seafood.

I always enjoy dining there with my family because they have good food that we can all enjoy together. Every year for my birthday I go to Gonzo! I simply love eating at Gonzo. First of all, I can't get over how scrumptious their food is, it is so tasty and packed with flavor. If you stand in line to order, as soon as you sit down you will have already been served. I don't know how Gonzo prepares their meals so fast, yet so delicious. Also the fact that they cook their food fresh daily is crazy to me. I've been to many ramen restaurants and no one compares to Gonzo's. My go to on the menu is the tonkotsu ramen with gyoza and chicken karaage. Gonzo also offers a very unique atmosphere that makes you feel like you're in Japan. They have waving cats, a big banana neon light, posters and a floating ball on top of the water station. The ball is so cool but I am still puzzled on how it works. Their decor can not be matched. They also have a TV that is always playing Anime. You can also sit inside or outside so if you feel like sitting inside, sit inside but if you want to sit outside, sit outside. Gonzo also does not offer reservations so there is always a place to sit. If there is nowhere to sit just get It to go, truly there is no other ramen stop better than Gonzo. Lastly, the people there are super nice, and always check up on you, they are very polite, and they always say your welcome. While you wait, you can enjoy your appetizers until your main meal arrives. Also if you ask them for a free ticket to their store, they will give you one, each member of the family gets one. You can go next door and trade them in for tokens, these tokens can be used to play claw machines so you can win stuff. But what tops that off is that all of the employees are welcoming and happy. Gonzo Ramen is the best restaurant in the world. They offer good food, an amazing atmosphere and the people there are super nice not to mention the location is very conveniently located near my house. I seriously think about Gonzo all the time. Gonzo is that go to place for me and my family.
