    Service was fantastic! We had a party of 6 with no reservations and they were able to seat us. The ambience is a mix of a lounge and nightclub with its own DJ who was totally rocking! Food was delicious especially the O'Sider #55 sushi roll. Sashimi was fresh and shared amongst 3 adults. The food just melts in your mouth. I would visit again if I'm ever in the SD area.

    What a fun pace for dinner! We arrived around 8pm and we were seated right away. The vibe was very fun and there was even a DJ playing great music! We were served quickly and the food was delicious! Make sure to try the monkey brains. They are stuffed with so much crab!

    Orange Crush Roll - normally awesome, not today

    Made reso for V-day at 8:45p. Used to live here and always try to hit this place up when i visit. Last night was a miss. Rice was off, shrimp tempura was cold and soggy, and rolls didnt even look nor taste like normal. Not sure if place is slipping or it was a just a bad night and everyone was getting lazy towards end of a busy night. Service was also not great, deliver food with no wasabi or ginger, wait like 10 min + before anyone is even in the room to ask for it, eventually just asked someone else's server. I dunno, maybe give it one more shot and see if this is a glitch, but if not def will not be back.

    This is my first time at this place where my wife and I decided just to have relaxing dinner night. The ambience of this place is casual yet can be a fine dining place. Im amazed with our server (Sarah) who happens to be the bartender as well. We watched her do all the orders for cocktails. She is also very welcoming making sure we are ok. The entire time we are here we watched her do all sorts of mixes. We ordered a mixed tempura and specialty roll. It taste good. For this experience I will give them 4.6.

    Yes. One of, of not the best sushi spots in Oceanside. LOVE this place. Amazing selection of sashimi, nigiri, rolls, etc. Whatever you're feeling they got it. It such a good vibe. Lit but not bright and not crazy loud or anything either. Our server, Madison, was awesome. Greeted us with a bright smile and was perfectly attentive the whole time. Helpful with recs and slight changes to a couple rolls as well. Definitely look forward to next time

    Lychee Gimlet
    KayAnna S.

    Definitely a fun restaurant with options outside of just sushi! Their sushi options are very fusion, with a lot of creme cheese, but overall most are really great. I love to make reservations ahead of time as they can get quite busy suddenly, but if you go early enough you can almost always just be seated. While I love their drinks at their speakeasy, The Lounge, they have their own wonderful drinks in-house too. I loved the lychee gimlet! I would go here for that cocktail alone. So refreshing and lightly tart but not overly sweet either. I do suggest going during happy hour as their happy hour drink and food list is great. Great way to try a lot of different appetizers. We loved the spicy tuna crispy rice. Just a lot of flavor packed into the tuna and the perfect crisp to the rice was just the best combo. We enjoyed the salmon skin hand roll too, but the spicy tuna crispy rice is a must! We did split 3 different rolls, and my husband had one extra. We started out with the pirate roll, the culichi-wa, and lightning. My absolute favorites were the pirate roll and lightning roll. Both just had so much flavor packed into each bite, along with delicious faux-Nagi sauce. I enjoyed the culichi-wa roll too, but not as much as the other two. The mango salsa on the culichi-wa roll was perfect though. My husband had the James bomb roll too. Fried rolls are not for me, but he liked it! He liked our other rolls more, but this one was still good. I thought the mayo made it feel like there was even more cream cheese, but for those that love cream cheese in rolls, this is perfect! Ended the night with some green tea mochi. Didn't realize it would be mochi ice cream, but it was still good. The whip cream with mochi threw us for a loop but then once we realized it was mochi ice cream, it all made sense. Great for one or to split!

    This is a great local downtown Oceanside spot for sushi. They have more traditional offering, but also very creative ones as well. I'm a big fan of their Ana roll. It has the tempura shrimp and the soy paper. I also love the nigiri and we always get the spicy garlic edamame and the spicy tuna crispy rice. They are so flavorful and the spicy tuna crispy rice has a good mix of crunch and spice. Other solid choices are the Culichi Wa Roll and the Diablo roll. We have also tried the salmon filet made with capers, lemon and a garlic butter sauce served with mashed potatoes, and asparagus. Pretty good as well.

    Had a great dinner at Harney O-Side the evening of Memorial Day. Our daughter got bused to the train station from Irvine and we were looking for some good food. Harney's wasn't too busy so we dived in. We were seated fairly quickly, but then we sat and sat with no water, no server, for maybe 15 minutes. After 15 minutes twiddling our thumbs, I told my wife and daughter that if no one showed up within 5 minutes, we were outta there. A minute or two later, water arrived, and a couple minutes after that, our server. As it turned out, our server Natalie was great -- I guess Harney's was understaffed because of the holiday. We ordered lots of food and drinks right away in case the kitchen was slow, but our food and drinks started coming out pretty quick. Sake, beer, spicy garlic edamame, hamachi kama, crispy orange tofu, sushi rolls, and nigiri. The food was excellent, and my wife appreciated that LARGE vegan menu. Throughout, Natalie checked in with us and made sure we were happy. Overall, a great experience once we got past that first 15 minutes of nothing. Docked 1 point for that.

    I really love going here. It's such a cool spot, I love when they have a dj. The staff have been incredible. The food is great and the menu has many options to choose from. Even if you're not in the mood for sushi, their menu has other options! The drinks from the bar are also super yummy.

    Flaming lip roll
    Bri S.

    Great sushi, unhappy servers. Crab rangoons are good but don't have a whole lot of cream cheese within them. Wanted the baked mussels but got the marinated mussels, guess I should have clarified that with the waitress but she didnt ask. Ate them anyway but didnt love the flavor. The sushi on the other hand was fantastic, both the flaming lip and baked scallop roll were just what I wanted and made perfectly. Another visit I had tried the spicy garlic edamame and spider roll, both made very well. Service wasn't great for either visit. The attitude would almost be described as "whatever, I don't care". You cant tell who works there and who doesn't because they don't have a specific dress code or even name tags, I also don't think I've ever been to a restaurant where the workers don't wear nonslip shoes. Not that its an issue, just surprised to see heels and converse coming in and out of the kitchen. Next time I'd probably just get food togo cause I'm not trying to pay for miserable service honestly.

    Not the biggest raw fish fanatic but wow the rolls are delicious! This plus the drink menu is a big yes! Live music on the weekends also! Can get pricey but was definitely a treat I would try again.

    Nice clean restaurant with delicious sushi. Lots of choices. Service great. They have a happy hour during lunch. Nice selection

    Protein Roll
    Krista M.

    A bit of a belated review as I dined here back in April but it was so good I couldn't let it go unshared. I was literally starving and on a bit of a time crunch when I stopped by Harney Sushi in Oceanside for a late lunch/early dinner. I grabbed a seat at the sushi bar and was ready to order, eat, and be on my way as quickly as possible. I went all in with the crab and cream cheese wontons, the Flaming Lip Roll, and the Protein Roll. Yes, I was that hungry. I was a little unsure at first whether to order directly from the sushi chefs or wait for the server but of course it all worked out smoothly. Harney's is a solid option for sushi lovers. It's conveniently located with a menu that includes some reasonably priced choices. The place is clean and can be a great date spot or family dining option. Plus, I was able to snag a street parking spot which was a win! I would gladly return!

For some of the best ramen that Oceanside has to offer, I recommend The Wu Lan Ramen located in the Plaza Del Oro Shopping Center, just south of the 76 Hwy. It's hidden behind the 24 Hour Fitness and CVS. The plaza has limited parking, but it isn't typically too crowded and you should be able to find parking in front of this family-owned ramen restaurant. They have a quaint and trendy ambiance and they placed a lot of care into their anime murals, which lends to a "whimsical" vibe. It's a nice blend of traditional elements & colors and modern (kawaii) accents. The interior is also spacious and has great seating for groups and is also good for couples too. Enjoy table seating or better-yet at their bar seating and you can chat with the friendly staff! They have a "staple menu" that is written in chalk on a board and then there's their menu that is very diverse. They also have a great Happy Hour menu with items priced below $8, including sake! I enjoy their pan-fried gyoza, salted edamame, miso soup, firecracker shrimp, fried calamari, chicken karaage and most other delicious dishes. Their sushi menu is also high quality grade and I feel is often overlooked and underrated. But their ramen is what shines the most! There are so many styles & varieties! There's a lot to customize and their broth is amazing! There are many tasty bowls, desserts and don't forget to grab a sake or a craft beer!

The ikura nigiri was super fresh -- bright, briny, and buttery in that way that just pops when you bite into it. And the dragon roll? So good. Creamy, flavorful, and balanced -- not overly sauced, just done right. My boyfriend got the Alaskan roll and the Korean ramen, and both were great. The ramen was comforting and flavorful, and the Alaskan roll was fresh and satisfying. Also, our server is always hilarious. It makes the whole experience even better when you're laughing throughout dinner. Between the consistently good food and the friendly, funny service, it's easy to see why we keep coming back. Waraii will always be one of our go-to spots in Vista.

I added wagyu for additional 55$ but I'm sure the duck would of been just as good. The pork too surprised me as my family raised pigs as a kid and I don't usually eat but the pork dish- with pigs that were raised with special diet and spa-like treatment/ well... the stories added to the dish. Things like pine were unexpected delights. The drinks were all amazing and we tried mixed drinks, sake, and something I rarely see and is worth noting- great mocktails. The service was outstanding and everyone was friendly, polite, knew their job, and quietly was there between each course with fresh silverware. All was completed with a sense of effortlessness. My daughter mentioned to her dad she was waiting on a drink and the manager heard and without hesitation said it was on the way/ and on the house. We chuckled as the bill of course was more than we had ever spent on a single meal, but enjoyed every minute. What struck me about ambiance is we felt as if we were the only ones there although I saw several tables on other side of restaurant. In addition although 6 of us in a circle - we were able to converse with each other with ease. Come with an open mind and be prepared for the best meal you may ever have. Pricey but worth it if you want to create a memory sure to please.
