I had this place bookmarked for probably a few years now and I don't even remember why but was in the area and thought I must try it especially with so many great reviews! Well I was a bit disappointed to say the least. The place feels a little run down even for a "lounge" it's not giving lounge vibes. The seats and tables scream casual bar vibes. Then the sushi was ok. Not the freshest fish I've had and though portions are huge for the rolls it's overfilled with rice :/ bummer. The artwork looks cool and fun on the walls. The service was ok. The waitress was very sweet but not too attentive. I asked for several things several times and sometimes ended up not receiving it. And it was things like napkins and water nothing extreme. She did have a large party she was attending to but still. Wouldn't go here for the sushi maybe the vibes are different on different days. We were there on a Sunday evening. Probably a nice spot to grab a drink and have it be a little more casual. Wish my experience was a bit different but probably wouldn't want to go back there, not for sushi at least. read more

We had an amazing experience at Harney Sushi in Oceanside! Our server, Natalie, was fantastic--friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. One of the things that really stood out was their incredible selection of vegetarian and vegan options. We usually never see this many vegan/vegetarian sushi rolls on a menu, so it was such a pleasant surprise. We ordered the Vegan OG (our absolute favorite!), the Garden Delight, a Teriyaki Chicken Bowl, and the Vegetarian Fried Rice--which was delicious and full of flavor. Everything tasted fresh and beautifully prepared. The atmosphere was vibrant and fun, with unique decor that made the dining experience feel lively and memorable. If you're vegetarian or vegan and love sushi, this place is a must-visit. We'll definitely be back! read more

Took extremely too long to get hot food. Not once did the waitress check on us we had to flag the. Down everytime wont be back

I've always loved Harney Sushi--the food is consistently incredible and the ambience is honestly one of my favorites. The sushi is fresh, the flavors are on point, and the vibe of the restaurant is amazing every time. During our last visit, we did have an issue that affected our experience at first. However, once it was brought to attention, it was resolved quickly and with genuine care. The staff made sure we had a great do-over and truly turned the night around for us. Harney's food and atmosphere continue to be five-star quality, and we really appreciate the way the team handled everything to ensure we still enjoyed our time there. read more

Love this place and have been coming here for years everytime we visit Oceanside. Super easy to make a reservation online, but if you have a small group, you probably won't need it. Parking can be difficult down here, so you may want to take that and take consideration. The spicy garlic edamame is a must! Some of our favorite rolls are the En Fuego, O Sider, and Sassy salmon. Neither of us liked the Pirate roll. If you like nicer cuts of sushi, the toro is FANTASTIC. Service can be slow but the food is definitely worth it. read more

Harney Sushi never disappoints. The food here is quality and the prices are fair. The sushi is always fresh and the servers are extremely kind. If you have a larger party, there is a giant table in the back that accommodates large groups. The wait can get long on weekends and during dinner time, so I recommend making a reservation if you want to eat here. We tried another sushi spot when we found out the wait for harney sushi was 45+ minutes and instantly regretted it. The best sushi in Oceanside! read more

I'm torn, on the one hand the place is lively and loud, and the service is friendly. But the food is just not great. I liked the experience but I can't recommend it. Huge rolls and fish but the quality isn't great. And I like loud restaurants but I guess the server couldn't hear me and ordered the wrong thing which cost me an extra 30 bucks. Rolls were actually pretty good but the nigiri was not. If they drown the fish in sauce it's OK. read more

Dinned in Sunday 2pm Happy Hour. We had some items from the Happy Hour menu. Crispy Rice Tuna, Gyoza. Delicious! One roll: Royz Roll and a Bento box - Katsu Chicken. Every item was delicious. Environment was chill and the food came out timely. Great staff! Looking forward to coming back. read more

I'm a server myself and I was sad that this second time was not as great as the first time we went. Last time it was packed and we had amazing service and accommodation. This time, not quite. The host asked "how can I help you?" Like who asks that as a host? You usually ask "How many will be dining with us tonight?" For example. The server rushed us the entire time. No refills on drinks even when we asked. My son's food and drink came out well after our food came unlike last time. Rule of thumb, small children, put their food in first. server only checked on us once. Food is so good there though. Hopefully it's better next time! read more

Really enjoyed the sushi and the service was great. Everything tasted fresh and the portions were perfect.

Great sushi and ambiance. I wish the cocktail bar had been opened when we went on Thursday but apparently it's open on Saturday/Sunday. Service was attentive and welcoming although they were super busy! For drinks we ordered the Purple Haze and Lychee Gimlet. Both had good flavor however the purple haze was slightly too thick for me (but they muddle real fresh blackberries so mega points on that!) and the lychee gimlet was a little too sweet (I think taking off the sugar rim would have made it 10/10). We ordered veggie gyoza for app. For me, it fell a little flat and was a bit too greasy, the chili oil on the side gave it a nice flavor-- but with an already greasy gyoza + more oil? I found it was a bit overkill. For entree we ordered the Castillo roll and Bruce Lee roll. I think I messed up on what to order..Both rolls were sooo rich for me, (good but not what I was looking for). I think I preferred the Bruce Lee roll a little more than the other. The Castillo roll good...but I think was way too much overkill with the amount of faux-magi sauce..made it way too sweet! Definitely had to load that bad boy up with wasabi and pickled ginger. I do appreciate how large and filling the rolls were though! We also got an order of the sea bass truffle nigiri and Eel Nigiri. Sea bass truffle nigiri was super bland , the truffle oil was the only thing that made it special. The eel nigiri was very tasty though. Overall 8/10! This place is too good to pass up, however, fell a little short! I think next time I will order other items based on what I know now! Oh darn..I guess I'll have to return.... Hehe read more

Visited Harney Sushi in Oceanside with a group of friends on a Saturday evening, and it was absolutely amazing!! Our friends also loved this place and thought the rolls were delicious. My husband has been a loyal patron for 14 years, and it is one of this all time favorite sushi spots. We started with the spicy garlic edamame and it was perfection! We ordered quite a few rolls for our group and our absolute favorite roll was the Chuck Norris roll; we ended up ordering a second one! Close seconds were the Flaming Lip, the James Bond roll, and the Ana Roll. They all had amazing flavor and were just phenomenal! They also have a full bar so you can order any drink you'd like. The ambiance is upscale yet relaxed and the staff was very friendly and helpful! Whether you're a sushi regular or a newcomer, Harney Sushi is a must-visit in Oceanside! Highly recommend for anyone looking for an exceptional sushi experience!! read more

Harney's is a spot I've been going to for years. The sushi is always excellent here. I typically get the Dragon Roll and Rolls Royce Roll. Everything is made fresh in front of you if you sit at the sushi bar. All the chefs are attentive and kind. The waitresses take a while to make their rounds sometimes but I feel like that's any place you go to. My brother in law and I also enjoy a large hot Sake every time we go. And when I say hot I mean be careful you'll burn your hand but in a good way. The vibe is very laid back and chill. They go for the energetic music dark place kinda vibe. Honestly I highly recommend anyone who likes sushi swing by. read more

We did not try the sushi because we got grossed out by how they have the place, the bathroom and our table was extremely dirty. Pieces of food just laying around in the floor and the people working seem to not really want to be there. My thought process is if that's how little you care of taking care of the tables, I can't imagine what the kitchen looks like. We got up an leave, didn't order any food hence why I'm giving a 2 instead of a 1 star but I doubt O'll give them another chance. read more

We wanted sushi and the concierge recommended this one which was walking distance from Wyndham Oceanside Pier. There was wait to be seated but it wasn't long. We were seated at the high tables. There were tvs at the bar. We ordered the kids bento for my son and it was a good size. The chicken was too dry for him. We asked for teriyaki sauce but it took a while to get it. We ordered a few rolls to try. They were different than what we tried but they all tasted fresh and were amazing! Service was ok. We had to call a server from a different area To ask for some things. Other than that, we enjoyed ourselves. read more

Hands down one of the best sushi experiences we've had. We stepped away from the menu and fully trusted Angelo, and he absolutely nailed it. His recommendation of the yellowtail sashimi, the sake, and the appetizers were all perfect--he clearly knows the menu inside and out. Angelo worked seamlessly with Ben, the sushi chef, who brought out incredible off-menu items that were unbelievably fresh and clean. We even told them how we wanted to feel after eating, and Ben adjusted the nigiri for me since I didn't want too much rice--spot on. Can't recommend this place, or Angelo and Ben, enough. Truly prime. read more

The staff and the ambience at this restaurant is fantastic. However, I feel like their menu is missing opportunities to be a considered a great sushi place. There are a couple of rolls that I enjoy, the sashimi and nagiri is good ...but it is always a hit or miss when I try something off the menu. Some things have great flavor, others lack and are bland or unbalanced. This place is a little pricey as well for what you get. read more

I think this is my 5th time here I forgot how noisy it is. We sat at the sushi bar and ordered sake and some sashimi. It's very happening and fun for Thursday night in Oceanside! Warning do NOT order the black cod sushi. It was disgusting and inedible. Everything else was pretty good, but that was positively awful.:(. I did like the garlic edamame and the yellowtail so that kind of made up for it. Overall, it's a fun place to hang out in Oceanside. read more

Amazing vegan options! I was blown away by both the selection and the flavor of the plant-based appetizers and rolls! I found the prices to be extremely reasonable, especially for vegan/specialty options! My friend and I decided to dine at Harney Oceanside before spending the evening walking around the city and the beach. To start, we shared the vegetable tempura appetizer. My friend could not get over the fact that these were completely vegan and we devoured them in minutes! When it was time for rolls, I couldn't choose and ordered the Vegan "OG" AND Tofu Crunch. While I did enjoy the Tofu Crunch the Vegan "OG" was out of this world - beyond savory! The portions were definitely unexpected and I was basically able to take home an entire second meal! The servers were very friendly and the food was ready within a reasonable time frame. Harney Oceanside is the perfect restaurant for a romantic date or night out with friends! If you are a vegan, I HIGHLY recommend checking this place out! read more

Fave sushi place ever!!! Lots of vegetarian opinions, but I specifically come here for the Vegan OG. drinks are super good too!

Quick notes: service is friendly and patient. They can get busy, but they come around and check on you several times throughout your dining experience. Ambience is very sexy, date night BUT the mood can change with the crowd. I have seen families with little kids having just as much fun as couples and singles. Food is fresh and delicious. They bring out dishes as they're ready so things are hot, but this can mean not all food is delivered at the same time. Truthfully, it's not an issue when we go. We appreciate our food always being fresh. Price is pretty on point for sushi in downtown O. In other words a date night for two with appetizers, drinks, and entrees can be ~$150. I enjoy this place because you can come here with family, on a date, or to watch the games and it is always fun. read more

It's not a good experience tonight. We didn't have reservation, so we had only choose was outside table. That's not a big deal. I waited for 45 mins for my sushi. All customers after us a lot had their food. Finally Manager came to show apologize and give 20% discount. I don't think it should happens like this. About food I suggest try any sushi you like. They were all look good. Because The late food, I didn't want reorder anything. But special 15 pieces nigiri we're not fresh enough. Totally it should worth to try. But I won't. read more

First time here. Briann was our server. Service started out good but then it was hard to find her. Had to ask her name because there was no introduction. The food was good except for the miso soup which was luke warm and the mushrooms were not hydrated thoroughly. They were really chewy. The sushi, tempura, and edamame were all delish! Kudos to the chef. The decor was simple yet elegant. Overall, I give them a 3 star. read more

We were told that Harney was a good sushi place and had other dishes for people who don't eat sushi in our party. We walked in we were greeted nicely and then Natalie took us to a private room where she served our party so well. Natalie was on point and answered every question we had on the menu. She provided some amazing recommendations. After Natalie took her order. Everything was timed perfectly as she and some of the other staff brought the food into the room. Natalie always had a smile on her face. She was so pleasant and continued to answer questions from the group regarding the type of fish we were being served. We also had a birthday boy in our party and Natalie treated him with grace and care. She recommended the green tea ice cream and some other desserts that were absolutely fabulous. This experience would not have been as great as it was without Natalie. What a pleasure it was to be taken care of by her. It made our whole experience so much better. Thank you, Natalie. read more

Harney Oceanside - Baked Dynamite* - Sushi Bars Near Me - Oceanside, California

Man I don't even know where to begin... this place is the"let's go to a sushi restaurant" for someone who eats sushi once every three years. EVERYTHING has imitation crab, a cheap filler for sushi. Everything literally tastes the same. Everything is doused in slightly sweetened sesame oil, so it's palatable in a way where you think it's "good." This place is not good. Sure it's palatable, but it's nowhere near good. This is a sushi restaurant that has orange chicken on their menu. I also ordered $10 sake bombs thinking they're going to come set up sake bombs for us and be with us to guide us through the sake bombs. They did not. They gave us 1 shot of hot sake, which is equivalent to $1.65, and a beer glass filled with 1/3 beer. They left it there on the table and left. $10 for that. Man I dont know. I'm spoiled from studio city sushi choices. This place is very disappointing to anyone who knows sushi. I was gonna leave a 2 star review instead of 1, but typing out this review really made me understand how shit this place was to any educated sushi enjoyer. read more
