This place provides exceptionally high quality food! Every bite was fresh and delightful. Its a hidden gem and I highly recommend trying this place out, even if its out of curiosity. Itll be a pleasant surprise.

I have been here a few times already with family and friends, they all love it here and so do I. The food is always fresh and tasty, and the service is also great. We will definitely keep coming back here! I only took one photo because we could wait to dig in this is a picture of the chefs choice sashimi bento and seaweed salad.

We stopped by quickly and got three simple rolls, an order of gyoza, and a few other sides. It was ready for us in less than 15 minutes and was all delicious. Nothing mind blowing from a sushi perspective but a very good sushi, true to the menu, provided quickly and with attentive service.

I love this sushi place. Amazing service, amazing food and amazing atmosphere! This is a regular date night spot for my husband and I. I recommend everyone goes here and gets at least 1 yellowtail hand-roll!

Such delicious sushi!! Everything is really fresh. The staff are so friendly. I dont do well with cucumber and they have lots of rolls without, Im pretty sure I could ask them to leave it out of other rolls but I havent done that yet. A view of the 78 so ambience isnt there but the food is what counts.

Fabulous sushi. The sashimi pieces were generous and melt in your mouth. We had the protein roll and one of the tempura rolls and both were excellent. Very happy with our first meal in Oceanside

Weve been coming here to enjoy the sushi and Japanese food for years but rating has just left our minds. This is one of our favorite spots to come and eat when we are in oceanside. We love the salmon belly, salmon collar, the baked muscles, and also the sushi rolls. We especially love the samurai roll and the double crunch roll. Service is quick and attentive. We always bring friends here when theyre visiting in North County. Highly recommend!

Amazing food, great atmosphere, and wonderful people. Came in on a Wednesday evening and the quiet atmosphere was perfect for our anniversary dinner. The food was outstanding. The quality and flavor of the specialty rolls was the best I’ve had in Southern California. Miss the all you can eat last time I lived here a few years back, but we’ll be back for sure.

This restraunt is AWESOME! I usually visit for lunch on a Saturday or Sunday and there is never a ton of people there, which i love. The staff is always very pleasant and attentive and their menu covers many different Japanese dishes so everyone in the family can find something they enjoy. I havent gone at night but the place has a huge sushi bar as well as liquor bar which i can only imagine is super awesome when the place is full of nightlife. A+ would definitely recommend this restraunt if you are anywhere in North County.

Its an immediate turnoff to me when you walk into a restaurant and there are TVs, unless its a sports bar. Really takes the integrity out of a place. And on top of that a bad 80s playlist doesnt really capture the vibe. The albacore was so mushy and the rest of the roll didnt even attempt to balance texture. Overall not a quality experience.

I am a new sushi lover and always trying new shops. I saw the rating on Google but many good recent reviews made me try it.Food was delicious and flavorful. Ever bite was perfect.

So this place is right across the street from where I work so I decided to check it out. When you first walk in, it feels really empty and dark. It looks like a place that wouldn’t be that great at first.When I was looking up past reviews it said that it was an AYCE place BUT it is NOT! We decided to order the 5 rolls we had intended to order anyways. The waitress did question us if we were going to finish it… (which obviously my coworker and I did!).We were absolutely amazed at how delicious each of the rolls were.It was so delicious! And we were completely full and it was cheaper than I would of thought!We got:Fire fire rollSpecial Dynamite RollSpicy Crispy RollCaterpillar RollAnd my Fav of them all!!!Royal Ceviche RollWe will definitely be coming back

Excellent hidden gem! After driving by this place a few times, I decided to give it a try. I ordered the two-piece tuna, mixed tempura, and house salad. I also asked them for a recommendation for a good small sake that was reasonably priced, and the manager recommended the Funaguchi, which comes in a can! It was absolutely delicious and packs quite the punch, so I couldnt finish every last drop, but would definitely get it again.Now for the food! While most sushi restaurants give you the two-piece tuna with tons of rice filler, here is the opposite! The sushi chef Koji gave me two of the biggest pieces of fish Ive ever gotten for a two-piece order and I actually asked for a little bit more rice with it! It was delicious. The little dish of ginger & wasabi also came with their house-made pickles, which are so good (forgot to take a picture of this & the sushi before I started eating it).The house salad was huge and had that delicious ginger dressing and also those delicious pickles on top. The tempura was so fresh and piping hot, there was a wide variety of vegetables, and you actually get three pieces of shrimp. It was cooked to perfection!I was so surprised that this is one of the best sushi places Ive been to! Its definitely a hidden gem and I highly recommend you go and check it out!

We were looking for a great sushi place to celebrate a birthday. We were very happy with our choice! It was mid afternoon, so there wasnt a lot of people there. The waitress was very attentive. The food came out quickly and was delicious! The orange chicken bento box had a lot of food for $19. The orange chicken was the best Ive tasted, and Ive tasted orange chicken at a lot of places. It was light and golden crunchy. We had many sushi rolls ($9 to 30 each) among our group. I dont think there were any that werent good. Garlic edamame was delicious! The owner came to make sure we were enjoying our food. He brought out some salmon that my sister who hates salmon raved about because it was so good. He also brought out some fish shaped ice cream pastry with caramel. It was delicious as well! I think we will go back again before heading home from our vacation! I highly recommend this place!

I see this place daily and always wanted to try their food. This restaurant is a real hidden gem. Tucked inside the Carlsbad mall, you could easily miss them. I was craving a Miso soup, and they didnt disappoint. I also ordered mixed fried rice, and that had chicken and garlic diced inside, and that was decisions. I also ordered garlic edamame and a nice salmon roll. Everything was made fresh. Glad I stopped in.

Advertised as All you can eat, however this is not an option even after we asked the server and showed her their website but it was a no go. The rolls are average, a little too much cilantro, the mussels were good and the server was shy after we asked about the all you can eat.We did get a free sample baked teriyaki salmon from the manager which was nice.

We always enjoy our meal here. The customer service is just as fantastic as the food. For the non-sushi eaters the bento boxes are excellent. The fresh wasabi is the cherry on top!

Have been going to this restaurant for a long time and have never had a bad meal! Excellent hot food and sushi is good too! Their Bento dinners are all excellent, my fave is their orange chicken, teriyaki beef, and their seafood soup entree. They work hard to accommodate you but their food is excellent. The atmosphere is casual, yet spaced out enough within so you can hear each other. Love this place - they even accommodated my family with 17 guests flawlessly! Thats a tall order in this day and age - theyve earned my business for life.

With the husband and I, we decided we would sample with a variety of items on the menu,Ckn fried riceBeef yakisobaKatsu ramenSpecial dynamite rollEvery item absolutely smashed our expectations, which were all set pretty high as it was.The rice tasted like fresh hibachi, chicken seared and shredded.The yakisoba was perfectly rich vinegary, a little sweet.The ramens broth was almost yolky, full of flavor on its own in a way Id never experienced, with noodles that picked up every tone. The tonkatsu was so rich and fatty.The dynamite roll, wow. It came to us boiling hot, every little bit of sauce caramelized the entire dish. Less of a baked roll, more of like a rich, tangy, sweet casserole worthy of far more than they charge.The cherry on top was having a check balance barely breaking $60.From the service, speed of preparation, quality and taste of food, and price, there were no complaints we could come up with.We will be back.

The first time i ever went to yukiya sushi i did have a hard time ordering however the waiter was extremely helpful and patient with explaining everything to me. I absolutely loveeeee their baked rolls, also for a vegetarian option I enjoy an avocado and cream cheese roll, it is yummy and simple. its about $20 per person, and a great place to eat with friends

Loved this restaurant. The miso was bursting with flavor and Gyoza cooked to perfection! The fish was fresh and tasty! Daniel made us feel right at home and was very attentive. It was a great experience!

The food was amazing and well priced, my wife and I were barely able to eat the 4 rolls we got due to the size :). The service was also incredible, there was almost no wait time for our food, and we got refills on our drinks as soon as we had finished them. They also had beers from Japan, including Orion which is my favorite beer from Okinawa. I love this place and will be making it my go-to any time I want great sushi, great service, and great beer!

Its a very nice restaurant with good food and attentive service. Their Jjampon, spicy noodle soup, was amazing resembling the original one weve been tasting. The bento box was full experience of various tastes. Well stop by here again!

My go-to dine-in for sushi in East Oceanside for years is still on top. Amazing people, ambience is low and slow. The rolls are perfect. Try the baked rolls. Highly recommend the salmon belly, unbelievably rich and tender.

I really don’t appreciate my family being yelled at by the sushi chef about Sriracha not being free when we just spent 60+ dollars there. Hopefully there’s someone there capable of providing a little more courtesy at this establishment.

Been here a few times now and we always enjoyed our dining experience. This is a very spacious restaurant located west of the 78.The servers are really super nice and friendly.Food:I want to try the ramen soon but both of my visits I had the Shrimp Tempura appetizer and the Kalbi.Tupac had the Salmon Kama and the Seafood Ramen.My Kalbi 2nd time around was burnt but still had a great taste. The tempura is battered a little heavy but still good. Tupac enjoyed both of his dishes. I tasted the seafood soup and it was flavorful. This is why I want to return to try the ramen.They offer AYCE sushi so check them out.

No one was here on a Friday night. We went to KBBQ and they said it would be an hour and a half wait. Instead we came here. IT WAS AMAZING.SERVICE. FOOD. DRINKS. all was so good I wish I got the gentlemans name but he was amazing. My party of 6 was seated right away and the food came by quickly. The pokie roll was amazing and the gentleman even gave us salmon on the house.Saved our Friday night and they are amazing here. Come by!

Even during covid, yukiya is still the best sushi place in town. The service is top notch every time. Daniel and his wife are so hospitable. Han, one of the sushi chefs, is amazing and always creates beautiful works of art on your plate. The fish is always fresh and delicious. My family and I wont go anywhere else but here for sushi.

Wow! What an experience! You definitely need to put this in your list for sushi in the Oceanside/Carlsbad area. Had a fantastic experience here. Food was great and even better service. Tako yaki was great and really recommend the spicy crunchy fried tempura roll. Very good!

So being from hawaii, i know sushi probably more then any mainlander for sure. this restruant is not really a japanese restruant, i mean compared to the real deal in hawaii, the sashime is paper thin which is a no no in tradiational way. also i ordered toro ahi, but what i got is NOT toro. if they think that this is toro ahi then you guys are being dupped big time. did i mention it was paper thin. off to find a legit japanese restruant.

Having lived in Okinawa, Japan, for three years, I can tell you this restaurant is average to below average at best. The people working there are not Japanese and are definitely not very welcoming like the Japanese either. We had several pieces of sashimi that were OK, but not worth the money spent. I found the host borderline rude. However, I think that it’s just because of where he comes from which is definitely not Japan. We loved the Orion sign at the front entrance.

Its a nice Japanese cuisine under family management. Daniel the owner is always friendly and professional with all the customers, making sure youre happy with the food and service. The restaurant in clean as are the staffs uniforms. The food tasted fresh, and the chefs are real Japanese professionals with amazing cutting skills. Youll notice this when your food is presented to you by how each piece is arranged with attention to detail.I had a Salmon Teriyaki Bento Box with green iced tea. My husband had the Chirashi Bowl and hot green tea.Weve been to Yukiya restaurant several of times, and the quality of the food has never changed. The sushi is great with less rice stuffed in, so you can taste the other ingredients better. The prices are reasonable and there is plenty of parking. Though from far away the restaurant doesnt look like much. Just give em a chance and youll enjoy the place.PS: What I dont like is the colored mayonnaise or salad dressing the chef adds a lot on certain dishes; it made my stomach sick a few times. Ive been to top Japanese restaurants esp. in NYC, and they normally dont add this type of dressing.

Ordered this restaurants sushi from Uber Eats this evening - we liked it a lot. Got the California Rolls, Tiger Roll, Rainbow Roll and childs Teriyaki Chicken. See a picture of the after meal :) the rolls were huge - we ordered too much!!We really enjoyed the food though and will order again.

Got the sashimi bento and hot sake. So much good fish! A little bit of everything you could want came with it, to include some great little California rolls and gyoza. The dressing on the salad is just like I remember from my time in Japan.

The food and service is not good or pleasant as it has been in the past when the overall quality was 5+.My sushi order was $45 and it was for a special occasion. My partner got her food and I got my soup and salad but my sushi entree was late. By the time it was served the sushi was room temperature and not fresh. I also ordered a second drink which never came because the person didnt pay attention to what I asked or just didnt want to serve me.Paying for one of most expensive entrees on the menu that comes 20 minutes later when my partner is halfway through her meal; and instead of apologizing for the delay the waitperson says thank you for waiting as if I owe them a favor, is where I need to draw a line.I had looked very forward to enjoying a pleasant dinner at Yukiya because for many years I always enjoyed the experience but tonight it was unsatisfactory. And with inflation, poor service and quality is not worth paying for.I was sadly disappointed and kind of shocked because I felt like I went to a completely different restaurant thats no where near as good as the Yukiya I once knew. Luckily theres an amazing sushi restaurant in Solana Beach.The place has changed and I wont be returning. Its been nice knowing you for all these years Yukiya.

One of my absolute TOP favorite restaurants now in Oceanside, food is amazing! I’ve been to many Japanese restaurants here in southern cali and this has got to be the best one I’ve been to so far.Prices are very reasonable and food here is beyond fresh and delicious 🤤 i left the restaurant very full lol (the crunch roll it’s 12/10 ) there are so many delicious food options here ( like the tempura and vegetarian and baked rolls, and bento boxes I saw!) that is also suited to picky eaters like myself!Definitely coming here at least 2-3 times a month🙌

Nice quiet place for sushi. Good environment and good food. Not fond of the green tea ice cream (usually a must have for me at other places) but everything else was great!!

Review №55

2023-05-27 10:48:54

To be fair, the employees are all super nice and the place looks very nice. Which is why I am giving them 3 stars.However, we ordered 6 rolls with the recommendation of the waiter, and unfortunately, to me, they weren’t real « sushi »They were very big and filling, but it is more of an Americanized sushi style than traditional to me.The Tuna fish was grounded somehow like a paste and was spread on top of one of the roll, and the other rolls were supposed to have real fish slices, but except for the salmon part on top, the rest was like grounded fake crab meat, more grounded fish, and tons of mayonnaise… and their special sauce was very odd to pair with the fish…Sadly for my vegan/vegetarian friends, there are only two rolls options and they are small and fairly okay, but nothing to get really excited about.In all fairness, for people who enjoy California rolls, you should still give it a try because you get a wide variety of grounded fish/crab sushi for a good price!But for the people that are looking for more traditional sushi… it’s another story 😅

I rarely leave reviews but, it felt appropriate this time as Im still shocked by what happened. Let me first say the food was great and the service acceptable. The service though was nothing extraordinary. The waiter took our order and then brought our food. Again, the food was excellent. Here is the part that shocked me: I leave a tip when I feel a wait person has been exceptional, going above and beyond and in that case I tip very well. I did not leave a tip because the service was not above and beyond. As we were leaving the employee came out to the parking lot with my credit card slip and asked why I not leave him tip. I explained everything was good that I was not unhappy. He then asked that if Im not going to tip him then they would like for me to please not come back again. What was an enjoyable experience was ruined at the last.

Great food and service. Started with agadashi tofu followed by maguro and hamachi sashimi and a soft shell crab hand roll. The chef hooked me up with a complimentary spicy tuna bowl. Great way to start the Memorial Day weekend.

2023-07-14 22:02:16

Our love for the takeout from this restaurant inspired us to dine in today. Regrettably, it was a less than satisfactory experience. Our waiter appeared uninterested and annoyed to serve us. To make matters worse, we discovered a hair in one of our sushi orders. When we raised the issue, no apology or remedial action was offered. A simple apology or acknowledgment would have gone a long way but the waiter shrugged it off and walked away. Its a shame, as the quality of the food is unquestionable, but our overall experience was tainted by the poor service.

My family and I been coming here for years and LOVE their food! I’ve eaten in a lot of sushi places and by far this place as ALWAYS been the best. If you’re into sushi, this place is for you. Their salmon belly appetizer is to die for, and they’re the only ones who offer it.

Went today and saw they have an ayce menu now. At least I think its new. But Ive been there a few times and the food is always good. But what I noticed today, what was pointed out, was the tip. It was figured for me at 15%. I dont know if its all items or ayce, but its circled(see). I dont believe in not tipping, but I might tip $2.00 instead of $2.14, because its easier than figuring, counting out..I dont know about telling me what to tip.

One star due to the extremely rude service after our meal. We finished eating and paid but didnt sign the last recipe with the tip on it. The manager came to pick up the slips but first he rudely insisted for us to leave a tip. Tip tip tip, this isnt a fast food restaurant! he said.

The best sushi experience Ive had, the building is sort of by its self so theres plenty of parking, the customer service is wounderful, everyone is super warm and welcoming. The building is super clean and the food is absolutely amazing. The only problem that I can think of thats not even really a problem is the building is pretty much only sushi, and bento boxes. Which I enjoyed great. Wounderful place and if I didnt live so far from it Id go way more often because the prices are even very reasonable. 10/10 I hope this helps newcomers!!!!

First off, the service was wonderful. The wait staff is extremely polite, and when they forgot to bring our drinks before the meal, they gave us the drinks on the house, as an apology. Even though it was a simple oversight. Note: we didnt ask for the drinks to be free, because they forgot. This was 100% their gesture.Second, the food was delicious! I had the ramen. Oh man, it tasted like food of the gods. You know, the kind where you know you ate getting full, but you cant stop, because it is that good. My friend had a sushi roll, and he said that it was very good. Better than other sushi he has had at other places.We will definitely be coming back for more.

Lets start with my journey to this spot. Before I begin, this was my experience; yours may be different.Reservation process simple (a week in advance), however fact:. We arrived and no table for my party. They gave us a subpar table, a table for five for seven people. This was ridiculous.Food:. Average with a fast food location, recommend almost any other location in SD.Service:. Two waitresses for a full venue, this was beyond unprofessional.They charge a tip in advance, if they had not their. Tip would have been $1.00.Not a recommended location.

Every single thing on their menu was perfect. The service was perfect. They could be Michelin star if they made the service longer. I think if they had a better location with more intimate seating and one server per table, they would meet a Michelin star rating.

Got there a little bit late(around 8:45pm) and their chef seemed not happy about that. So we got served with the worst chicken I have ever had (animal stinky, could be bad and under cooked). In addition, their Yakisoaba’s tasted exactly same as the Fortune Yaki-soba, which you could buy from the next door Winco with 3 dollars.

This is my favorite sushi restaurant in the area. The service is always nice and the food is good. Ive been to other sushi places and theyre either overpriced or oversaturated with sauces, mayonnaise, and other ingredients that hide the true flavor of the fish itself. Ive seen them cut the entire fish and I love how they use every part of it, not letting it go to waste. Thats true respect!I always take my out-of-town friends here and Yukiya has never disappointed!

I take my family here when we can, always have excellent food and great service. Always 80s rock and pop playing is a huge plus for me. Maybe not for some people. Chef is top notch, fast as only people of his caliber can be, and the presentation is always gorgeous.Most importantly, the food is delicious, fresh as an ocean breeze, and priced so I can take my family here without breaking the bank. My favorite Sushi place in Oceanside hands down.

Excellent customer service. Excellent sushi rice and super fresh fish. When we pulled up today, there was a fresh delivery of fish from a fancy specialty seafood company. And the taste proved it. Perfect ratios and generous portions. Stop getting sub-par sushi and come here.

If there is an option for MINUS stars, I have no hesitation to do so. Their manager Daniel is the ever worst manager I have ever seen. He argued with us for 15 mins when we informed him that 2 slices of fish were not completely defrosted. He touched and pressed the fish and told us that he had no problem with the fish. He then asked me to take the fish that he pressed. Thats epic!! He blames customers for reporting the issue. And he repeatedly said he/his restaurant had no problem, the problem is on us. His customer service was unreasonable, inappropriate and unacceptable!For anyone who considers eating here, please think twice as you may be confronted by the manager and your mood will be ruined absolutely.

This was my first time to try Yukiay Sushi in Oceanside.The feel was like a traditional Japanese Sushi.I ordered the crunchy roll, sweet shrimp, garlic edimime, Special Dynamite, and Samurai Roll.I also had Sapporo Beer.All in all everything tasted good, and it came out in a very timely manner.When I arrived I was greated by the owner I believe, as he was very nice and help me pick the Samurai Roll.He answered questions.I would recommend this place to all people who love sushi, both young and old.

An intimate atmosphere along with excellent service and fantastic sushis, bentos, gyoza, etc. During week days, this place is perfect if you are wanting to chat without having booming music or a large crowd to talk over. The service is always top notch, as well.

I really want to say I love Yukiya, but compared to other sushi spots in the area it falls flat. To be clear, the staff and atmosphere were GREAT! No qualms there. The three stars are purely for the sushi itself, which simply doesn’t compare to other local places with comparable prices. It is what it is! But all in all great service, location and environment.

Cevice roll was awesome because it was very fresh and had a lot of fish and wait staff was super attentive. My husband got the tuna garlic roll and loved it and also the protein roll and said it wasnt quite as good but still excellent. My son got the homeless roll and crunch roll and they were also awesome. Lots of variety of rolls. Price medium but to me all Sushi is expensive.

Looks like it wouldve been a great place to eat. But since they were so under staffed, we left.. we sat for 30 minutes waiting to have our order taken and nothing. While people who came after us were served.. we dont blame the restaurant for it.. in covid times its really not their fault! Its kinda hard to run a business when people dont want to work!!! Eventually we will go back and try them! 🙂

Decided to try Yukiya after walking out of Red Lobster due to horrible service. Glad I tried this place, the sushi is absolutely DELICIOUS. The Service was GREAT. Dinner for 3 adults and 1 child $130 plus I gave a $20 tip. Yes I recommend YUKIYA... GREAT FOOD, GREAT SERVICE.

Absolutely horrible service! We walked in. My 17 year old wanted all you can eat. I wanted soup. Manager informed us we both have to do the $28 all you can eat not just my son. I cam barely finish the soup yet alone $28 worth of sushi. He insisted we were going to share. I felt like such a criminal for just walking in for soup. We had to leave because I was so uncomfortable😪. I believe if youre afraid guests are going to share when theyre not supposed to, seat them at the sushi bar so the chef can keep an eye on them. If they share, then tell them they have to pay but dont accuse them before they even sit down.😭

Food was good, but it took forever to get service. It was a middle of the week evening and not packed either. The all you can eat sushi is also gone. They depended on the host to also be the lone server for the entire place.

The food was fantastic but sadly our experience wasn’t. The waiter from the start was rude and uninterested in being anywhere near us, my wife’s ramen came with a Clump of hair in it, and they completely just didn’t give us one of our appetizers. The staff seemed completely lost and kept asking us the same normal questions one after the other, asking for drink orders over and over, whether our friend who joined us later wanted water then just coming with a hub but no glass. Again whoever the chef is deserves a standing ovation the food was amazing but the clump, not just a hair but a full blown clump of hair in my wife’s ramen is repulsive. They do not do unlimited sushi either.

Last time we were here it was when it was Hana Sushi. But wanted to give the new place a try. Upon walking in you are warmly and enthusiastically greeted in Japanese with a big smile. It was by every employee that saw us walk in. Great first impression. The menu was easy to navigate through. Prompt service. Our rolls came out almost as fast as ordering them! They were so tentative to keeping our water glasses filled and rolls coming. And the taste?! WOW. Very fresh, full of flavor! And 30% off the specialty rolls! We will most definitely be back!!! Went on a week day dinner time. Yum!!! 👏🏼👏🏼🍣

Food was really, really good! Fresh and prepared perfect...but not worth the price . For 2 at lunch it was insane. 80$ . And its the only restaurant Ive been to that added the gratuity automatically for just 2 people. I like to choose my tip based on service and my satisfaction as a whole. Service was ok but only 2 other people in the place so the wait staff was very inattentive . The sushi chef was absolutely great. So i am.mixed feelings ...i will consider the price and adding tip for just 2 next time i decide where to go for sushi

I have been coming here for over 10 years, seen a few ownership changes as well as staff changes. I think its at its best management presently. The chefs are knowledgeable, quick, & friendly. Santana is the best chef & his wife is the best waitress there. The quality of the sushi is the best in San Diego county. Ive tried them all. The best time to go is at lunch right when they open, their up & ready to roll at the bar for all you can eat. If your not a big Eater then do the bar but order ala carte. Its always very clean & sanitary. This is a huge priority for us when it comes to sushi. The price is worth it & its always prepared properly & is always delicious. All the chefs have been there as long as Ive been going there so that speaks for itself. Try it you wont be disappointed. The bad reviews on here are hard to believe. I have introduced at least 100+ people to try Hana & not one has been disappointed yet. They are all regulars now. Its been a month since Ive been but I will give an update within a week to confirm its still a great place to go & if any changes.🍶🍣

Visited on Valentines Day. Place was half empty. There were only 2 waiters on duty. Service was bad. Poor server kept running around (literally) due to place being so understaffed. He kept forgetting to bring things, including one of the dishes.Food was average at best. Portions were small despite fairly high prices. Dont think we will be back.

This is really good sushi. Ive been coming here for years... However, the service has been hit or miss. I went this evening and did the all you can eat special with my brother. Our waitress did a good job of getting us our initial drinks. However, she never followed up with us during the evening for a refill and was more concerned with serving the newer customers. The funny thing is. I have seen this place much busier. So there really was no excuse. The sad part is, her tip suffered due to the lack of service. The sushi chef was awesome and got our food made right after we ordered. Thats how service should be !

My review will be based on these categories.●PLACE- descent, inviting, spacious, clean and organized.●Sttafs- welcoming, friendly and attentive.●FOOD- I am particular with my sashimi and sushi. I will give this place 95% out of 100% in quality. That is pretty high compare to other Japanese restaurants I have eatened, not counting when I went to visit Japan. Portions are somewhat bigger than the normal cut.I will definitely recommend this place.

Pretty good place for sushi. It wasnt the best Ive had and it wasnt the worst. Id come back for a sushi fix and its more affordable than others pricing. We had 2 speciality rolls, the rainbow and the homeless, edamame, and a pitcher of beer...all for $44. The rolls were 30% off so that was nice. The sushi tasted average, not a ton of flavor with the fish and the tempura was a bit too heavy. It took away from the roll. Overall though, clean restaurant, friendly, fast staff and service.

Food was very decent. Salmon Nigiri was ok, but the Uni isnt very fresh. Price was fair. 3/5 for the foodService was not great. I had to sit in the restaurant for 15 minutes before the waiter comes and give me a menu. Sometimes they even ignore you intentionally. 2/5 serviceManagement was not great. They cant even get my orderings correct. I came here twice, and both times it has happened. Also I was nearly charged with 3 extra things that I didnt even order, if it wasnt for me checking the payment list.If you come here, make sure you check the payment list. I dont know whether it is intentional to charge you extra things. Be extra careful.

Edit - new ownership now and new name. Ill give them a new chance and revise my review.Very very skimpy fish serving sizes on your roll toppers and sushi. Like sliced razor thin.

This restaurant used to be called Hana. New owner purchased this same restaurant but changed to new name called Yukiya. I tried their All you can eat for $27.99 because I am a big hungry surfer. I was shocked that their seafood is freshest and tasty! Lot of fish meat on small white rice rolls, not like Hana and other restaurants used too large white rice rolls with smaller meat that make you fill up quickly. The chefs are real Japanese with very professionally handrolls.. Really fastest service. Very friendly staff with excellent customer service that even better a lot than Hana in past. Their beverage price seem reasonable than Hanas expensive drinks in past. Lets give this restuarant with new owner a chance. In my opinion, this restaurant may be one of Oceansides and North Countys top Sushi restaurants, maybe even San Diego County. I will love to visit this restaurant again next time after a long day of hard surfing! Yummy!! I dont mind to fork up my $27.99 again. Its worth!

The picture is my Service Dog Oreo. I totally agree with what Scott the Ghost that the old reviews are from Hanas. They need to be taken down. They were so welcoming with me and my SD Oreo. The food, people, new owner were just awesome.This is sooooooo much better than Hanas. I stopped going to Hanas because of the prices, food and service. This is all new from the people to the food. I so recommend this place. Daniel treated me and my SD like we were family. My last name I dont think had anything to do with it since Im not Japanese but my husband was.I went there this Thanksgiving and I didnt want to be with anyone. I had just put down my 17 1/2 year old retired SD and I was in tears. Daniel was so kind to me and asked if I want it to go. Next time, Oreo and I will stay to enjoy the people.This place gets a 10 from me. Cherie

First time I went: rotten oysterSecond time: a fly was in the sauceThird time: horrible service. They gave us the wrong rolls and we didnt complain, but then they came and tried to give us even more stuff we didnt order. When we protested they argued with us, and the waitress complained about how busy she was, it was really strange. They got our order mixed up with the familys order a few seats down multiple times. I heard those people get annoyed as well. After all that the guy acted like he was doing us a huge favor by not charging us for a roll that we had ordered but never received or ate. Then they almost lost my debit card when we paid.Third time was the charm! Definitely not going back.

Horrible dining experience. My sons chicken teriyaki was like something youd find in the freezer section at Stater Bros. The sushi we ordered never arrived so we left after an hour.Waiting staff seemed nice. Chefs were overwhelmed. Typical management: simply without a clue and useless.Want sushi and nice ambiance? Buy it at the store and take it to a nearby park. Dont go to Hana Restaurant.**Update: The owner called my wife apologizing for the horrible experience. Lots of excuses offered. We went to Go Go Japan for sushi last night....thats how a restaurant should be run. Hana still sucks.

Friendly staff and clean. Sushi wasnt the best. We all did the all you can eat option ($27.99+ %15 gratuity automatically) and some of the rolls were very loosely packed and would be falling apart on the table. Worth a visit, but not the best all you can eat.

Review №136

2019-09-30 00:44:28

The reason I give this place a star is because I dont like to be DECEIVED on my bill! They added a 15% gratuity for TWO people!!... I have been to places where they add the gratuity automatically for large groups and thats ok but for me and my hubby.... REALLY.... LOOK AT YOUR BILLS BEFORE PAYING.... If not you will be giving a 30 to 40% tip.... If they did an amazing outstanding job YES, BUT they didnt... I dont like to be stared at while I eat, to make sure Im not SHARING with my husband, when I ordered my own food... I also dont like how they sat us where we could be WATCHED, but other couples and groups are seated at the windows, where they have more privacy. A bit RACIST, considering we were black and everyone else was white... And before people go crazy, we have been there aplenty of times before and noticed the same thing every time. Dont get me wrong, their sushi is really good and I been going here off and on since 2013. This place USED to be packed but I dont see that anymore. Maybe make a sharing price so you wont have to STALK people and u might get more business but keep making that GREAT SUSHI!

Really hate to say this; because the managers/owners are so nice.. but this is definitely not one of the better options for sushi around the area. Food quality issues; fish doesnt taste real fresh at all, rolls are messy and easily break when holding them, and last visit I got a stomach bug from one of thier FRIED rolls. I would just go here for some beers and edamame.. not even the ramen is good but thats just another common problem with north county ramen in general.

This place was nice but DONT BE FOOLED BY THEM SAYING THEY ARE ALL YOU CAN EAT the actual sushi is not included in their ridiculous $30 price. It ONLY includes rolls and appetizers... another reason I rate this place a 2 is because there was a spider web from their light fixture down to my seat that I had to clean.If you are a lover of a.y.c.e. sushi do not be fooled by the false advertising here.

In an age when no one carries cash it left a bad taste in my mouth would not return and would no recommend to any one

Very good food. All you can eat sushi is available from 11am to 9pm for roughly $30. Delicious food, fast service, and reasonable pricing. Nice atmosphere and good music all day. Keep up the good work.

The best Sushi in San Diego County. Daniel and Erica have a top notch experience. They have hired 2 of the most talented sushi chefs around. If you can sit at the bar and ask Han or Koji to take care of you. Tell them your favorite fish and ask them to create something. It will be amazing. I drive from PB to visit them regularly. It is that good!

Everything is delicious. The gentleman that runs the front is stellar. His attention to high level customer service is uncanny. The chefs know what they are doing. Great happy hour.

I never been here beforehand but I was really disappointed. I walk in and they say welcome (not in Japanese, I thought it was Japanese restaurant) were told that there is a new owner and all you can eat sushi is gone(my sister in laws was sadden by this discovery).the place was empty for lunch hour.I ordered a bento since Im allergic to fish and my sister inlaw insisted I order something.The salad had the sauce already in it( drench). The orange chicken was nice and crispy but lack flavor. Rice was o.K. tempura was good. Came with California rolls but didnt have cucumbers. The services was o.K, until I said no thank you to a refill and started to give me the cold shoulder. Overall the food was below average. I have a slight stomach ache even though I didnt finish the food. I wouldnt really recommend it since it wasnt my taste and would give the best of luck to the new owner (hes going to need it).

Excellent sushi and hot sake. Rolls are 10 - 16$ each which was definitely fair. They also have macaroon ice cream sandwiches for a few dollars that was excellent.

Food and service are normally spot on. Atmosphere takes a hit because they can do with a deep cleaning in there

Before I begin this review, I would like to write a disclaimer relating to the previous reviews for this restaurant. For some reason, Google decided to keep all of the reviews for Hana, the restaurant that was in this location before it changed to Yukiya. While these two restaurants are in the same place, I can attest that both have very different menus, staff, management, specials, and overall a different experience. Therefore, I recommend that anybody reading these reviews take the older ones with a grain of salt, for they reflect upon a restaurant that no longer exists.Anyways, time for my review. As mentioned previously, before there was Yukiya there was Hana, which I ate at on several occasions. It was good at first, but over time the quality lessened, and eventually I moved on to other better Japanese restaurants. Today, my party and I were passing by when I noticed that the place had changed ownership to this new restaurant called Yukiya. I decided to go ahead and give it a try just to see how it compared to Hana. Needless to say, Yukiya greatly exceeded my expectations. Admittedly, I had a rather negative impression of the restaurant at first, since we came in to an empty place with barely any staff around (though in their defense, we came in at a rather off-hour, and near the end of our meal more staff showed up and treated us well). We were sat down and served by who appeared to be the new owner of the restaurant. He had a strong Japanese accent, but he had a kind heart, and you could tell he was very passionate and caring about his food. I think he even cooked our food personally, for he gave us salmon rib on the house because it was his favorite, going as far as instructing us how to eat it so we wouldnt swallow the bone. As for the food, it was amazing. The katsu chicken I order was cooked almost perfectly, and contained very high-quality chicken. And although I never eat seafood, I actually loved the salmon rib, and would recommend it to anyone else who loves salmon. Overall, eating at Yukiyas was a very pleasant and personal experience. While the restaurant is in its early stages and a little rough at the edges, I can tell it has the potential to become a popular sushi spot. Id definitely recommend it to others, though you should keep in mind that Yukiya has just started and needs a little sharpening.

This was a tough one for me. The service was great, it really was. But that only goes so far when your food is ok and your prices are high. The unagi handroll was flavorful, but really doused in sauce. Ive never had so much sauce on unagi before, and I order it pretty much everywhere I go.I also got this vibe that they are very used to their customers having no idea what any of the stuff on the menu is. Maybe thats the crowd in this town, but I get the sense that they dont typically have to be compared to other more authentic seeming establishments.Its an old building, playing trendy music, with fancy lighting, and an overall attempt to come off as modern... But the building looks and feels so old. The food, between the handroll, and the tonkotsu was... Just alright. I will give them that the meat in the tonkotsu was actually very very good, but everything else about the tonkotsu was frankly bad. Especially dousing it in so many sesame seeds that it felt like it should just be called a sesame seed ramen (which still, even other sesame seed based ramens Ive had were better.)I would love to see the place focus more on maybe a yakitori style atmosphere (keeping the sushi, but focusing on small items.) Their emphasis on alcohol here seems very high, and I feel like more of a yakitori type of menu could benefit them greatly. But as it is, it seems like their claim to fame is sushi, and you can get way better sushi across the street for less.Alternatively, they could invest in remodeling and improving the food to bring it up to the style I feel they are trying to portray, but ultimately not achieving.Ive never felt so bad writing a review like that, as I really really do have to emphasize, the staff seemed really really nice, and honestly, I want to see this place do well. I just cannot suggest it to anyone at its current state.

This is the All You Can Eat ROLLS only, no nigiri, no handroll. Not like typical All you can eat sushi places in town. $30.00/person to eat just rolls is not worth it. Rolls are big. I should order 2 rolls (10.00/ea) and get very full and save money. The lady at the reception is very polite with big smile. Service is OK. Rolls taste so so. Too much sauce makes me feel like eating rice with sauce, no taste of fish. if you dont care much about nigiri but love rolls, this is the place for you; otherwise go some place else like Sushi Damu in Tustin.

I love this place! I just moved and this restaurant was one that my family loved...I have eaten there 4 or 5 times this last month. Each time was delicious! We have had several things, from japanese to sushi. Each was great. I normally do not get yakisoba noodle dishes because they generally are not good - I have to tell you, its FANTASTIC. They have this interesting spice in it that just makes the dish. I have had all meats, but the steak is best! It is LITERALLY the BEST yakisoba I have had, and the best both my parents have had. Please try it! I love that its not too busy in there as well - it means I get even faster service!

Wont go back !!! Waited 5 minutes for waitress, though not very busy at all. They seemed to be discussing the menu changes. Dirty dishes were left on the table that we were seated at. When waitress was asked to move them, she said Ill get the busperson instead of taking them away. Very poor service, not friendly. I guess because we asked to have dirty dishes removed. Sushi was only so-so. Price too high considering everything.

Ive come to Hana a few times, its never my first choice but now I will never come here again. Was sat at the bar by the host/server who was a young male, he never gave me a menu so asked him if me and my few friends could get menus, so he brought us one ( requested another ). Then he took my drink order which was just a hot sake and water and never brought me the water I ordered until I finally asked again after my group received their drinks and edamame. I also ordered the Edamame and received it when I was done eating all the sushi I ordered. I have never been brought edamame after eating before in my life and I eat sushi on a weekly basis. Finally ordered a soda and the same waiter took it asking if I wanted more, it was half way full so said no I was ok and he still took it anyways!! Leaving me paying for a soda that I only drank half of. Then it took about 30 minutes to even receive my bill to find they didnt even run the card yet when I finally got it back had to continue to wait forever to get bill. Sushi chefs were good but the rice was soggy and gross. Probably the worst sushi experience of my life and I eat a lot of sushi and have been a lot of places. Word of advice fire the white guy thats the host hes 24 or something and cant do his job, sad part is it was dead so he pretty much gets paid to stand there and do nothing. We also had a few things to say when leaving and he just stood there with a smile on his face the whole time. I wouldnt come back here even if you paid me to.

What is wrong with this place????!!!!!!!!! STAY AWAY!!!! Heres how our night went. We ordered beef yakisoba and 2 chicken teriyaki entrees. The entrees listed on the menu came with miso, rice, mashed potato salad, half a California roll, 2 spring rolls and 2 Inari sushi. When we received our food there was no Inari and we received house salad instead of potato. I really wasnt mad at getting house salad since I was skeptical of a potato salad at a sushi place. When I mentioned something the waitress just said oh its just a picture.... no its written on your menu. Then my rice was more of a rice pudding. It was complete mush and Im pretty sure my grandma could eat it with out her dentures. The California roll tasted really sour and I wasnt sure as to why I thought possibly the added more vinegar to it then most places. At the end our waitress forgot to give us our check. We are sitting there food in bag ready to go and she just says have a nice night. I walked up the three front where the to go register is and she still said nothing like oh I forgot your check so I told another waitress and was able to pay for our food. I wish I hadnt. On the way home I discovered the roll want bad from vinegar but was just plain bad as I became OVERWHELMED with pain in my stomach and proceeded to uncontrollably MESS MYSELF ON MY DRIVE HOME. I live 20 minutes from there and I was 2 blocks from home when the Devils fury met me. DONT GO HERE! food is disgusting and obviously someone is serving spoiled product and the waitresses although nice forget important parts of being a server.

Worst service by the waitress!! The sushi chef had to take our order because in the 30 minutes we were sitting on our table she didnt come by not even once. We ended up leaving after having a roll since she never came to our table even after the sushi chef asked her to take our order at least 5 times.

Appetizers and sushi rolls were okay. Nothing special about this place. The Japanese Waiter was keep checking up on us after he put the bill and asked “Are you done??” . I finally replied “Do you want us to leave now ?” and put down my card. He replied “Don’t be upset, I don’t mean to make you leave. You can pay and then stay as long as you like”. Weird logic. But then I realized it’s probably just a language barrier thing of him. Other restaurants, they will put down the bill in front of us and just politely reminded, “Anytime you’re ready, Ma’am” and will just leave us alone until we’re ready to pay, means finished with our conversation, food and drinks. The restaurant was very empty when we’re there at lunch time, otherwise we’d understand and won’t hold up the line and taking too much time. Manner, Peeps!

After waiting patiently behind two large families waiting to be seated, I let the hostess know I was going to take a seat at the bar. She told me that I, a party of one, would have to wait becuae the two familes ahead of me were ALSO waiting for seats at the bar, despite the rest of the restaurants tables being vacant. What is the point of having a bar if you cant just walk up an order? I didnt get a chance to try anything; not wanting to get into it with the hostess, I just left.
