There's never a long wait. Staff is efficient; clearing off tables, bringing additional condiments, napkins, and utensils. It's always service with a smile. This spot is on the west corner of the Mission Square shopping center. Easy to get to; off the 5 and one block west.

First off: FIVE amazing stars for this place. We were…read moredriving from LA to Oceanside for a soccer tournament. Not coastal Oceanside, but inland. We were looking at food options on the way to the field for after the game and sort of laughed as we passed a sushi place in a strip mall in a seemingly out of the way location. My son heard us mention sushi and perked right up, but we told him not likely around here. Just for fun, we Googled it and then read the reviews and were taken aback at the fantastic reviews. Son plays an amazing game, they win! Grammie wants to take us to lunch so we give her the address. She gets there before us and we all sort of look at one another and say let's give it a try. OMG.....Kyodai 23 is now one of my Top 3 favorite sushi locations EVER!!! The sushi was so fresh, flavorful, melt in your mouth amazing! I'm writing this review two months after we dined, so I don't remember the names of any of the dishes, but I added pics so you can see what we had. It was so good, we actually doubled up on a couple of dishes. We left full and satisfied. Service was very prompt and friendly. The restaurant was clean and nicely appointed. The prices were more than reasonable...especially for that quality of sushi. As much as I don't want to drive 2.5 hours for a single soccer game, I'll be wishing for many more games in Oceanside! If you're looking for amazing sushi, give this place a try!!!

Place is very good. I think the AYCE is a little over priced. But maybe I'm just remembering older…read moredays when AYCE sushi was $25. $50 here is a high price and $70 for premium. You get 90 minutes and have ordering limits, which is fine. The sushi is high quality. Maybe too much rice. Maybe that's a tactic to fill you up faster. We went with our young daughter and they couldn't accommodate making a tekka maki roll (just basic tuna, rice, seaweed) but have a version of it with spicy sriracha in it. We just wanted no spicy sauce. The server told us the kitchen couldn't do it because they were too busy - even though leaving out sriracha I don't think takes more time, and we were 1 of 4 tables dining. I'm not sure the server understood our request. It's nice to see this place in Oceanside, we need more in this area. I'm hopeful it stays but with the price being what it is - I'm not positive. Best of luck here!

I tried their thin broth ramen many years ago and I was not convinced. But if one in carlsbad is this good, maybe I just ordered wrong when I went to the one in downtown.

A little feedback on this ramen is it's described as having broccolini and it came with regular broccoli, not a huge deal but they should fix the description. My freind has the black garlic ramen and the broth was really tasty as well. They serve Saki in a cool glass that keeps it chilled. The interior was well designed and clean! They have a big bar top with chairs as well as table seating and an outdoor patio. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Family brought me for early Mother's Day Dinner and I had no idea such a place existed here in…read moreOceanside. The unassuming exterior and simple but elegant interior greeted us with low lighting and quiet atmosphere. We sat at a table of 6 and immediately knew we were in for a treat. We all had the 10 course meal and although I can't do justice to describing each item- let's just say every bite is a treat for the tastebuds. You could do substitutions and add ons. 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.

3.5 stars We came here because they're closing at the end of…read morethe month. So, Yes it was a bit pricy but i wanted to try it before it closed. Made reservations online for the tasting menu $225. The place is in the middle of nowhere, from the outside you'd never guess it was fine dining. We started off with a trio of little bites, a tile fish gungakn roll, fried mochi threads, and an acorn cracker filled with camembert cheese. The raw tile fish gunkan was ok, the mochi threads were nice and crunchy, the camembert cheese was too pungent for me. Hamachi/Raspberry - slices of Yellow tail and raspberry in a ponzu sauce. The ponzu stood out most and gave it a salty profile i couldn't really distinguish between the hamachi and the raspberry as the textures were similar. Artichoke Kohlrabi gyoza with a bri sauce. This dish was very good though i thought it was more like ravioli than gyoza. It even looked like ravioli. I think they just called it gyoza to make it fit the Japanese theme. Shrimp tempura was delicious! it was lightly battered and fried and put in a shallow bowl of shrimp broth. They said it came with dynamite sauce but i think it was just kewpie mayo. Very good and one of my favorites of the evening. Chicken wing stuffed with scallop, part of the wing was deboned and stuffed with a Hokkaido scallop. It was very tasty, the scallop was very sweet and tender. I wish the skin of the chicken wing was crispier. It was quite charred but did not crack when bitten into it and a little rubbery. Tile fish had a very crispy skin and came with a beautiful sauce of i think apples and apricots and a walnut butter. I really liked the sauce that was spooned on the plate. another one of my favorites of the evening. Duck done 2 ways; roasted and a fried tsukune meatball. They both came in a light carrot sauce. The fat on the roasted piece was nicely rendered and the duck meat very tender. The tsukune was nicely fried and crispy and still rare inside. The palate cleanser was a pine ice cream with Aloe Jelly, The pine ice cream was quite refreshing and smooth i thought the aloe jelly was a bit strong tasting. I think flavor came from the geranium but something had a strong taste to it. The dessert was also one of my favorites White chocolate with hokkaido milk powder on top of miso ice cream and slices of tangerine. It was supposed to be reminiscent of a creamsicle. The Hokkaido milk power was magic on the shards of white chocolate, the miso ice cream was very smooth and dense and when eaten together with the pieces of manderin orange did remind me of a creamsicle. They gave us a trio of finishing dishes a trio of bites; Castella cake, Kokuto jelly and raspberry mochi. The castella cake didn't really stand out, it wasn't the sweet dense cake that im used to. The kokuto jelly had that deep brown sugar taste but was too stiff in my opinion. The raspberry mochi had a strong raspberry flavor which i loved and had a good chew to it. Service was exceptional, water was filled many times almost every time the water glass went down 1/4 it was filled to the top. Each course was preceded with the proper utensiles and were cleared after each dish. i must have had at least 4 forks and 4 spoons. Definilty 5 star (Michilin style) service. Food was very good maybe 4 stars. Value was ok maybe 3 stars. If you divided the courses by the price it came to $25 per course. If you looked at the ala cart menu, many of the items were there and could be had for less than $25, of course not all the dishes on the tasting menu were available ala cart. But i feel if you sat at the bar and ordered a cocktail and maybe 5-6 dishes you't still pay a hefty price but it would be much less than $225. I feel like thats the way to go instead of the tasting menu. Come here if you want exceptional service.

I like that this place uses the Yelp waitlist because I put my name down as we were on our way over and arrived just in time. We were seated quickly on a Saturday evening around 6 pm. There are a good amount of tables inside. They also had some TVs showing baseball games around. The service was amazing here. It felt like the waiters and waitresses were constantly eyeing our table to see if we needed anything or were ready to order more. They refilled our water carafe before it was completely empty, changed our grills before we asked, and took away empty plates as soon as we cleared them. I also appreciated that they put salt or something on the ground so it wasn't too slippery. The only complaint I had about the place was that it was really hot but I could see the waitresses were also really hot as they fanned themselves walking around. The food were was actually pretty solid for an ayce restaurant. We got the deluxe plan which is the cheaper option for $30.99. The brisket came with some salt and pepper on it and looked like a better cut than I've seen at other places. We also got some kalbi which came without the bone which is so nice because we didn't have to cut it off and have little meat left over. My husband and I also really liked the marinated steak. I typically like non marinated meat better but the steak was tender and the marinade wasn't too sweet. I used the salt to help cut the sweetness and wrapped it in a lettuce with some radish. I really liked all the meats we tried here. They also have really good sides here that you can't get anymore at a lot of kbbq places like the steamed egg or corn cheese plate. All of the food options were so good and I left very stuffed. I would definitely recommend then kbbq ayce restaurant to anyone in the area!
