Food is wonderful. I always enjoy Panda Express' idea of venturing into Japanese cuisine. One employee needs some performance management (Rashelle). She shows lack of interest in her job. Does not even show any hospitality. She has too many side conversation when there are customers in front of her. read more

This place was decent. The food is quite expensive for the volume that is actually provided. The SPAM is very salty, so some people may find it too strong. I enjoy the crabmeat. There isn't a lot of sitting area. It's best to go before 1100, as it's not very busy. read more

If you love poké, you'll LOVE this newly opened hidden gem well secured within the compounds of Camp Pendleton Base so unfortunately only military personnel, government agents and their family and associates will be able to frequent and enjoy this establishment within the same corporate family as Panda Express. It is located on the west side of the new hospital in the same parking lot of McDonald's, Coco's and Panda Express, north of the gas station. According to one of the three female employees closing this evening, this Japanese Grill opened January 17, 2017 at this location and will launch their Grand Opening celebration on April 11, 2017 with prizes to raffle off, free samples and other festivities. My photos reflect the last 15 minutes prior to closing on a Saturday night after St. Patrick's Day so they were down to their last piece of Spam, 4 tempura shrimp, 7 pieces of salmon teriyaki and lots of chicken teriyaki. I didn't understand how to order my food or how their system was so I had to have her put back the teriyaki chicken and salmon she put on my brown rice and salad already in my bowl. With the pressure of people lined up behind me to order, the lady kept saying to pick 2 so I chose those two from that department thinking that I would get to choose the poké I wanted in the next section. Nope. That's not at all how it worked. Here's what you do: STEP 1: Decide between a large or a small bowl. The small bowl comes with 2 Proteins and 4 Toppings. The large with more. STEP 2: Select your base of either Sushi Rice, Salad, or Brown Rice. Similar to its sister restaurant, Panda Express, half and half is possible. STEP 3: Pick the 2 proteins from the vast selection they have of Chicken Teriyaki, Salmon Teriyaki, Shrimp Tempura, Spam, Original Ahi Poké, Sriracha Tuna Poké, Spicy Salmon, Creamy Bay Scallops, Spicy Tuna Poké, Imitation Crab, etc. STEP 4: Select 4 Toppings consisting of: Corn, Ginger, Fried Onion, Seaweed Salad, Dried Seaweed, and Edamame STEP 5: Choose the sauce(s) from Garlic, Spicy Mayo or Teriyaki STEP 6: Pay and ENJOY because you will as I did! I ordered half a bowl of salad, half a bowl of nutritious brown rice, with Sriracha Tuna, Creamy Bay Scallops for my two proteins, topped with Edamame, Seaweed Salad, Dried Seaweed, Fried Onions and sauced with squirts of Spicy Mayo and Garlic. I complimented my meal with a refreshing large Brisk Peach Tea that was really good! You can drink your fill as the fountain drink selection you serve yourself comes with free refills. It took me a long time to narrow down my choices to the two proteins so the server offered toothpick samples for me between the spicy salmon and tuna pokés to help me decide. That was helpful. I was delightfully surprised by the freshness of the seafood complimented with the crunchiness of the seaweed, fried onions and the flavor packed combinations harmoniously playing off each other making my body so happy and healthy! Each bite of the bowl of heavenly goodness took me back to my latest adventure in Hawaii a few months ago when my cousin took me to these amazing poké places we savored and relished. It was that fresh and delicious! I loved what I ordered and can't wait to return. The three female servers greet each customer upon entrance with enthusiastic welcomes that exude confidence knowing that each person that walks into the store is about to enjoy what they are serving! I eat slow enjoying every morsel but they cleaned and closed the eatery down relaxing us with complete sincere reassurance to take our time to enjoy our meal without pressuring us to leave. Since it is a fairly new establishment with a new food concept differing from their other same name restaurants in other cities, they are still working out the kinks before their official grand opening on April 11. I love this place and didn't give it five stars only because there is a learning curve taking time to figure out how their ordering system works. The proteins or entrees need to be labeled or organized better to avoid customer confusion. Also, their business cards or other publications such as printed menus won't be available until April and they've been operating for three months. When I did ask for their address and phone number, it differed from what I found online so my business addition to Yelp for this business may need editing. With all that said, I still LOVE this place and look forward to my return! Welcome Hibachi-San Japanese Grill! read more

I came here with my daughter, first time coming, and we got the small bowl which was a little over $7. You have a selection of the kind of rice you want to start with, then a choice of either hot or cold protein. I got the sushi rice, with the teriyaki chicken and crab meat. Then you can pick from another selection of items from which I chose the dried seaweed and edamame. My daughter loved it because she loves sushi and it seems like a sushi roll in a bowl, I thought it was pretty neat. And everything tasted very good and fresh. I will definitely be coming back here. read more

We enjoy eating here when we are visiting but the customer service has went downhill. The Asian girl with heavy makeup (Sharon?) is not very pleasant. She rushes through everyone in line and makes you feel extremely rushed. Which, BTW, if you don't go there often, or you're ordering for small kids it can be a bit confusing and take a few seconds to figure out what you want. read more

Brand new furniture is always nice. The crew was already dialed in for a rapid fire-style lunch rush, and looked great doing it. Will be back!! Will definitely recommend to friends and family. - RTJ read more

Love there food! It gets addicting come here too many times. Well worth it and worth money

Good food fresh not much choice you get what you pay for. Bad service from cashier though results in a very bad experience with this place. You can get better quality with better choices elsewhere..come here if you're really hungry and press for time. Otherwise there are other better places to eat poke besides this place! read more

Some of the staff has a really bad attitude and no care for the customer having a good expirence their was a younger woman who works their that just rolled her eyes at everything and I found that disrespectful. It was my first time going and she showed me the standard the management holds their. Never going back just a side note if you want a job act like it instead of being rude and disrespectful. read more

This place gets a bad rap but for the price you can't complain. The small bowl is 2 scoops of protein with tons of choices. They even have dumplings, Kim-chi, and salmon filet available as a protein. The company on base isn't allowed to accept tips which keeps the bill even lower. The only thing that's annoying is you only get 4 toppings before you receive extra charges. The food was good, we ate it without photos. We will upload photos our next visit. The location is also incorrect. Panda Express is now on Vandergrift near the Fallbrook great. This is located at the main gate near Oceanside. There are a limited amount of sushi rolls, expect only common rolls. read more

I have now given this place a third try. The staff is belligerent at best. They come across like they are doing you a favor for being open. Everything is an add on at a premium. Twice they have been out of regular tuna. Just to watch them bring some out after I already payed. read more

The food is great but this girl Rivera I think is her name is rude and always has attitude for no reason.

Food is always fresh and consistent! Fast service! I always go for poke and my husband goes for the hibachi meat! We both love it and will continue to return. read more

I love coming here! The staff is always amazing and helpful and the price is phenomenal! My husband and I visit here very often!

Hibachi-San doesn't seem like much when you first walk in, but the smell is what grabs you. I cannot speak much about their brown rice because their white rice is just great. You can't go wrong with their cooked meats (steak, chicken, and salmon). They say their a Hibachi's, but they are totally more of a Poke Restaurant than anything. But they do Poke good. If you can get in Camp Pendleton, this is the best restaurant (healthiest too) you can get. read more

Crab meat mix, teriyaki chicken and white rice with edamame, corn and teriyaki sauce. Really really good. Just wish their protein portion sizes were bigger. read more

My go to place everything is fresh and the price isn't bad at all pick your rice pick 3 proteins & after pick your toppings with any dressing comes up to 9 and something change for me the crab meat and spicy Sriracha tuna is my favorite 3rd item i usually get shrimp!!! Mmmmmm on my way to get some now read more

This has to be the best place to eat on Camp Pendleton. Extremely fast. Food is fresh and delicious. Price is right. I eat here at least once a week. read more

Fish had a bitter after taste, rice was on the vinegary side and the toppings were very bland. Wish they had a larger variety of veggies and sides to go along with the rest of the dry proteins. Bland is all I can say :/ read more

Not to bad. There was literally no healthier options on base. Than this place came along. I hope more healthier type food joints pop up and follow their lead. read more

Great food. But some employees give extremely small servings compared to the others. I've been there multiple times, but today I was quite disappointed. I feel like a got half for what I paid for. read more

This is hands down probably one of the better places to eat on base. They have a great selection of protiens that are fresh and the rice is cooked very well. That being said the prices are a little high and most poke and boba places off base are a few dollars cheaper. Especially the boba. I would come back here if I'm in the mood to spend a little more. All in all good service and good good! read more

Great place for a quick bite. Delicious milk tea. Generous portions and the Seafood all tasted great and fresh.

Probably one of the worst poke places I've been too. Very pricey for the serving sizes and protein. Toppings and sauces are very limited as well. Seafood did not look or taste fresh. At least location was clean read more

Rice too mushi for regular white rice, expensive for a small bowl, food is cold.... Poke looks old, teriyaki is too oily, I have seen better for the price.. read more

I started to come here since I found out they sold bobas here. That's the only thing I get and I wish they had more than 2 flavors however it's really good. read more

Off base it would get a 3, but it's a 4 on base. It's Poke bowls and not much else. The variety is ok but not great. The meat can be pretty good or mediocre. The scallops in the sauce are really good though. If you don't do poke much you'll love it, if you do it's good enough but not great. Especially since it's on base, and it's rarely busy. read more

This place is definitely my new favorite. It was so delicious and I didn't feel like I was eating bad or anything. I could taste the freshness and I love all the different flavors they offer! read more

I love this place my husband and I eat here every Friday. Been to other places around Oceanside and Vista and this place is so much better.

2$for extra protein only got 3 more baby shrimp definetly not worth the money besides that food is great, customer service depends on who is working read more

The food is great and for the most part the employees are great. However, I feel like they charge extra for everything. Nowhere on their menu does it say that there's a limit on toppings. The menu says you get 2 or 3 proteins. They have the price for extra proteins. I was told that there's a limit of four toppings. If there's going to be a limit just put a sign somewhere, it's not that hard. After the 4th topping they charge $.50. They are very stingy with the toppings and everytime I come in they are out of something. It doesn't matter the time of the day because I have gone at different times. read more

Just don't bother coming. They get stingier and stingier with everytime that I come here with their toppings. When they opened their servings were a lot larger and now they barely give you anything. Just not worth what you are paying for. read more

What happened to this place?? We have always stopped at Hibachi San for takeout to the beach. I had noticed that they had a new crew and the Japanese servers aren't there anymore. The food here was great and the servings are filling. Well, not today! The new Hispanic woman with heavy eye make up working with the cashier (Naqua) this day split what was left at the bottom of the salad box. I had ordered 2 regular bowls with salad, and she split what would have been a single serving of greens into two regular bowls! I guess she was lazy to go to the fridge and grab a new one. I told her that there should be more greens in it, but she ignored me. We are so disappointed with today's purchase. This was totally not worth $29!!! The serving, as I had expected, was not filling this time and that server did not have good customer service. If you keep this up, you will go downhill and lose customers. Remember, you are feeding hungry Marines! read more

Best poki in Oceanside! I love that it's big pieces of seafood in most cases -- not the minced stuff I grew up eating Korean food and love the kimchi shrimp! Also like the crunchy options like shrimp and fried onions. Poki is kind of boring without them. Milk tea has a lot of body and is strong tea -- not watery like the places off base. Will miss this when we PCS! read more

Absolutely the best lunch I have had all month. Friendly and attentive staff and freshest traditional food on base.
