I love everything about this place. Nestled In a busy area but you wouldn't know it when there. They have made the ambiance serene and peaceful . The service and the food are amazing! Truly top notch!! read more

Loved it! Fresh and delicious. Not cheap but great quality. Decor is beautiful. Tried some nigiri and rolls like the fire and hamachi. I highly recommend it! read more

Okay, so this place is a 10 star out of 5! I have been to all the better sushi places in San Diego. This place is far better. I never say this, but THE BEST! When we were seated, the host walked us through the menu and explained the sourcing of the food and what was fresh and popular, etc. All the staff took great care of us. They operate like a well oiled machine. The atmosphere is great and the food is just fantastic. New favorite. Definitely come here! We will be back often. read more

The fish is high quality. The yellowtail was amazing. Good service. We sat on the patio and it was great.

Great food, live band on the weekends. What more could you want? We love it here and love coming back with friends!

Terrible food poisoning, This place almost killed me. I went for a birthday dinner and when I returned home 2-3hrs later and everything was purged. I'm was so sick. I will never return This was the only meal I ate that day. Please be careful if you decide to visit this location. I emailed the restaurant to advise them of the situation and no response. read more

Nice atmosphere, and my crispy Shrimp roll and bulgogi for me was just fine. My wife ordered the black cod entree and after eating a bone went on to remove about six more. For $32 a simple v cut bone removal during fileting would be expected, and at the very least a warning for safety reasons. We did mention it to the server and she said that they try to get them out but sometimes they miss some. Either this was a decision to not bone the filets, or someone really didn't know what they were doing. read more

Even though ambience and service was good the sushi rolls were disappointing. The rice was soggy like the rolls were prepared ahead. We enjoyed the crispy rice with tuna and the salmon sashimi but did not care for the two sushi rolls we ordered. I was excited to have a good sushi restaurant close by but will probably not go back. read more

We came here yesterday for my birthday with a reservation for six at 7 PM, which we made a week in advance. My husband and I arrived around 6:40 and let the host know we were waiting for the rest of our party. I asked if we'd be seated outside since it was chilly, and the host, sounding annoyed, said that parties of six or more are seated outside. At 7 PM, we checked in again, and he told us-rudely-that it would be another 30 minutes. When my husband asked why, given we had a reservation, he just repeated it without explanation. The whole interaction was unpleasant, so we decided to leave. read more

Stopped in here recently for lunch and thought it was great! Owned by the same owner as Love Boat in San Marcos (but not the Oceanside location). Fresh crab in rolls, not just imitation is a plus. Upscale but small interior seating. Plush, low bar seats are appreciated by this short patron! Nice patio though it's just looking at the parking lot in Bressi Ranch. Pics next time, and there will definitely be a next time. Saw the complaints about waitstaff. We thought they were great and personable. No issues there for me and actually would compliment them on the servers! read more

Excellent service and amazing food. Highly recommend. Reservations also highly suggested.

I was driving around somewhat lost and ran into this place with an interesting name. I thought, why not. The place is open and welcoming. My server, Maddie was very friendly and attentive. She provided excellent service. Thank you!!! It was a a bit chilly and I opted for a bowl of tonkatsu. It was delicious. Plenty of noodles, healthy pieces of pork and the egg was perfectly cooked. The broth brought it all together and when the bowl was empty, I found myself wanting just a little more broth. I don't normally order rolls, but needed a little something more to fill me up. The salmon and avocado roll was smaller than rolls I've seen before. It did its job. The ginger and pickled cukes were fresh and refreshing. I wanted more of it. This was a great find and I definitely recommend the place. read more

My husband and I love this place. We've added it to our list of date nights when we're craving good sushi. We always sit at the bar. Best to make reservations though, they get busy at times so call ahead but we've not had any trouble getting seated each time. Their service is prompt and friendly. You never have to wait around for drinks or tab, they are on it. We had their Real Crab Rolls -- all are amazing! My fave is the Misaki roll.. so good! Possibly THE best and freshest sushi I've had in San Diego. Great ambience and decor. Definitely a regular now. read more

San Diego sushi spots usually fall into two categories: cheap and forgettable or high-end for special occasions. Fish Boon manages to hit the sweet spot--great quality sushi at a price point that lets you come back more often. The service was top-notch. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome. The atmosphere is perfect for a date night. If you've been hunting for a place that balances quality, price, and good vibes, Fish Boon is it. Definitely adding this to my rotation! read more

The food is delicious and so fresh. The quality of the fish assortment is outstanding. The decor is beautiful and the wait staff is kind and courteous. Overall this has been a great dining experience that I hope to enjoy for many years to come. Oh and don't forget drinks and dessert. The mango mousse cake is delicious. And the Perfect pear drink is the perfect Summer drink. read more

Finally made it to Fishboon. Ambience is great! Our waitress suggested the tartare toro (pictured) which we ordered. ALL the sushi we ordered was super fresh. We loved the Misake roll and the Del Mar roll, in particular. Everything was excellent. We've been needing more nice sushi options in Carlsbad other than just Blue Ocean (also great!). This fits the bill! read more

Took the wife and kids to Fish Boon on New Years Eve for lunch and it was delicious. We got the calamari and gyoza for appetizers, and they were both good. The breading on the calamari was probably the best I've had and it was not greasy like many other places. Our girls got the chicken teriyaki, and they loved it. My wife and I split speciality rolls and they were good too. Our server was very attentive, and he service was prompt. The owner was also milling around helping out here and there, and he was very nice as well. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Yes! It's a yes. Definitely delicious, fresh, flavorful sushi. Their options were incredible. They have sushi, sashimi, poke bowls, ramen and other dishes. Great for a group of people with different pallets. The quality of their fish was outstanding. The staff were professional and very friendly. They walked us through the menu and the specials. The decor was beautiful and the fresh flowers were a nice touch. Can't wait to eat my way through the menu! read more

This place is a gem - beautiful friendly atmosphere and great considerate staff. The sushi and sashimi are fresh and delicious! I think the roll flavors aren't as good however so wouldn't recommend the rolls but the sushi itself was high quality! read more

Went to Fish Boon on Christmas Eve for lunch. Party of six. Despite there being room, they refused to seat our party together in adjacent tables. After the third refusal to sit us in empty adjacent tables that they confirmed were not being held for reservations, we decided to leave. This poor experience was solely due to the concierge/waitress who was not interested in assisting, and was visibly annoyed when we requested to be seated near to each other. We left and had a lovely lunch next door. After lunch, as we walked back to our car and looked in the window, the adjoining tables we had requested were still empty. We've eaten there before and the food was great, but this experience was certainly frustrating. Hope they fix it. read more

I was so excited to see Fish Boon open up in the area. I ordered to-go around lunch time and the food was ready pretty quickly. I had a California hand roll, a roll with salmon on top, and some sashimi (tuna and salmon). While the sushi was good, I don't think it met the expectations I had for the price point. It was nothing special and very average in terms of quality. With so many other choices around the plaza, I don't see myself gravitating towards Fish Boon when there are so many other restaurants. I know they are new so I will probably come back and try in a few months but as of now I am a little disappointed. read more

The food is spectacular! The service was amazing. Clean and lovely inside with a lot of inside and outside seating.

We tried this place for the first time tonight. I liked it but I didn't love it. The service was excellent and it is cute. The menu is huge which is a little off putting. We had the brussel sprouts which were 5 stars and fantastic. They came with a super tasty dipping sauce too. My friend got the Poke salad and she was disappointed by how little seaweed salad was in it and how much dressing was on the salad. The salad was a very soggy at the end because it had too much dressing. I had 2 rolls - salmon skin and soft shell crab. The salmon skin was way too salty. The soft shell crab was very good. The roll sizes are very large for a good price. I will try this place again but will order different rolls next time. My friend said she would go again and order a cooked fish meal. We will definitely order the brussel sprouts again. Worth another try. read more

Fish boon was able to accommodate our party of six (4 adults and two toddlers) on a Sunday evening in their patio. It was heated but still quite chilly outside. Their menu seemed to have something to appease all different types of palates (including two picky toddlers). Everything leans on the pricey side and our party found their sushi/sashimi quality quite underwhelming. I personally enjoyed their appetizers and udon. Vibes and ambiance was nice. Overall not a bad option. read more

This was a great experience! Good fresh fish and great service. We loved the drinks as well as a nice lively feel inside the restaurant.

We came in here on a Tuesday evening for date night with a reservation. The place is bressi ranch area close to other restaurants and shopping. Plenty of parking available. The restaurant takes a modern take on decor, and is beautiful. The host seated us right away. The food was delicious and timely. Everyone there were kind and service was great! We will be back read more

Such a quaint place with lovely indoor/outdoor seating! We had reservations for the patio and were seated quickly despite it being very busy. They had my name on a heart shaped sticky note waiting at the table which I found was a nice personal touch. Lastly, the sushi was delicious and has a great cocktail menu. 10/10 recommend! read more

Sat at the sushi bar the first time and that was an awesome experience. Sushi chef took care of me and was attentive. He gave me great recommendations too. The sushi here is top notch! Second time I came I ordered take out and again, so so sooo yummy. Their real crab rolls are insanely good. Great date night spot! read more

What a shame, we had high hopes for this place. When they first opened, it was extremely good. Slowly but surely the quality of the food and service has gone down hill. Our last two experiences were not good. We ordered Blue fin Toro, Chu Toro and O' Toro sushi. The Chu toro and regular tuna, they were exactly the same. The O' Toro was mush and sinewy. The Scollop nigiri was extreme fishy. The Saba was not cured correctly. We ordered the King Salmon and it was Bakafrost. They buy their Tamago and Ankimo. I could go on and on, but we won't go back until they fix these issues. They need to hire a proper chef. This is Bressi Ranch, not San Marcos Blvd. read more

Sushi lover here...been all around SD looking for the best quality sushi and found it here! Hands down best sushi in San Diego. Modern, classy ambiance, mouth watering fish, impeccable plating and incredibly affordable for the quality and service. Jasmine and Jason took amazing care of us like we were the only table in the restaurant. Well done J &J ! We love this place! read more

Excellent service and quality of food. Ambience is also well done. Will be back for Japanese food in Carlsbad.

Service was a little slow but sushi was good. Ordered the yellowtail delight and was impressed with the roll.

Came in for ladies brunch, and that was more than perfect! Their sashimi was above and beyond in quality and presentation, and all various menu items as well. The interior looks fancy enough to be a date-night spot, but comfortable enough for lunch meets and also quick bites. Very attentive in services with nice staffs. An A+ experience! Highly recommended! read more

Yummy! We enjoyed it! Delicious sushi and generous portions. Atmosphere is very nice and the staff is personable. We really enjoyed the Ocean roll and Lobster roll! read more

We had been here once before and ate at the restaurant which we liked, so we thought we would try DoorDash. DoorDash order was placed at 6 pm on a Sunday. The dasher arrived and waited 30 minutes for the food. I received my food at 8pm. Order was wrong, incomplete, cold, and just downright bad. Chicken Katsu was ice cold, goyza was missing, soup was filled 1/3 of the container, etc. honestly just an absolute joke. I called the restaurant after the dasher had been waiting at the restaurant for 30 minutes and they did take responsibility and admitted they really messed up. I'll update this review if anything positive comes out of this but at the moment, DoorDash refunded me $53 on a $100 order. So, I paid $47 for an absolute trash meal. Im honestly hoping they attempt to make this right but in the meantime I'll be recommending to anyone I know to stay far away from this place. So entirely disappointing on every level. read more

Fish Boon is now our #1 favorite sushi place in the area. We go past our other two favorites to visit it and we've brought friends and coworkers there. The fish always seems fresh, buttery, and high quality. Their specialty rolls are unique and they don't lazily put cucumber in everything like most sushi places. Our favorite rolls are the Padres, Lemon, and Sunset. The Yuzu Highball is also a very tasty cocktail option. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated with comfortable furniture, a nice patio, and clean bathrooms. We've had several different servers, and the entire staff seems attentive, kind, and accommodating. If I want to suggest a winner for a meal out with my wife, I suggest Fish Boon and she can't say no. Their fish is delish. read more

Food was bland. Sushi rolls had little more than fish and rice. Fresh but lacking for the price. Cute restaurant, good service, but overstate their offering, especially for the price. read more

We had a fantastic dinner here and highly recommend this as a sushi destination. The quality was top notch, priced reasonably, and the service is also very good. It's a bit of a small place, very busy, and in a busy shopping center. But we aren't easy to impress and we can't wait to be back. Excellent sushi! read more

Remember the movie Ramen Girl? If you don't, that's okay. Brittany Murphy(RIP) goes to Japan and tries to make ramen. At one point she puts red pepper, corn, broccoli, and other ingredients in her ramen. That is what this ramen is like. It is unconventional and in my opinion not worth getting when there are other places that make a more traditional ramen like Gonzo. The couple next to us had a couple of bites and left their bowls full. The sushi is very good though, but the problem is the wait. Make a reservation!!! Place was packed! We showed up and asked for seating inside and they said a 30 minute wait which is fine. After 30 minutes they said our table was ready, but only outdoor seating. Whoops. We took it because we were hungry. They forgot one of our rolls and almost an hour later realized it when we reminded them. They did comp it which was nice. Live music and very hip atmosphere, but probably wouldn't go back unless it was empty. read more
