We ordered the combo California roll and teriyaki chicken and it came with miso soup, white rice and a salad, an Asian chicken salad and the salmon bowl and it came with our choice of salad or miso soup, I chose miso. All of the food we ordered was delicious, staff and service was friendly and accommodating.

First time coming here and they were about to close. Hans was so sweet on letting us enjoy our meal and the staff was wonderful and kind. So grateful to have found this place and definitely coming back for more. Food was better than what I was expecting and the vibe of the place was awesome. Thank you cooks and sushi chefs for doing a wonderful job. Thanks Hans !(hopefully I spelled it right)

Random find at the outlet but we got hungry after doing some shopping!Its located on the corner near underarmour. It took us a while to decide, the menu was quite hectic. They had different combos and sushi items. I went with the salmon and CA roll combo. It comes with a side salad of your choice. There were 4 options and it comes with miso soup.The salmon was glazed with teriyaki and came with a side of rice. The rolls were good very generic. Honestly for a quick meal I wasnt mad about it. Out of all the options this was probably the best food spot next to Blaze Pizza.

Good food and good value - specifically the lunch specials. My curry bowl with chicken + gyoza add-on was tasty.

Tried the fresh Nigiri Box and the steak and cucumber salad, all was great. Friendly and fast service (counter ordering/paying, then wait for your number).

Stopped here before some shopping at the outlet stores & so glad I did. The chicken Katsu was one of the best Ive had since being in Japan. The tempura was perfect & the miso soup was good. My daughter also loved the salmon & rice plate. The staff was super courteous.

This an Americanized version of traditional Japanese dishes. A lot of different Bento combinations. We come here often because its convenient and the food is delicious and reasonably priced. You place an order at the Order counter, pick a table, and pick up at the Pick Up counter when your number is called. When you pay you are prompted with the now ubiquitous Tip screen. Its optional but I usually my tip in the jar; its a different kind of service so it shouldnt be a percentage of the what you order.Staff is very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is no different than a family restaurant but its relatively quiet.

This was way better than I had expected upon walking in. The spicy pork was spicy and it really didnt look great, but I was very happy with it (and I dont usually like ... well food).The miso was hot and salty and had generous large chunks of tofu, but was pre-made, so the seaweed could not be removed for my kids (not a big deal, just a note).The Katsu was great without sauce, crispy panko and moist chicken, however the sauce was a little too smokey for me (the kids all were happy with it sin salsa anyway).My wife ordered some sushi and larger portions were provided than she had expected and we left quite satisfied.I think the chicken Katsu with the spicy sauce from the pork would have been a great combo.If we make it back to a popular building-brick-themed amusement park in the area, this will be our after-park dinner again I am sure!

Not many places to eat at Carlsbad premium outlets but this one is a must. The service was excellent, staff friendly. The food was great, very well prepared and delicious. The salad and seafood were fresh the teriyaki shrimp and chicken were cooked perfectly. I would drive the 65 miles from Anaheim to Carlsbad to eat there again.

I enjoyed my visit here. Very mellow atmosphere, the food was really good! I loved that the gentlemen talking our order was patient and genuine. Great customer service! 5 starts hands down!
