    Salmon and Tuna sushi
    Minji W.

    I love hyuga sushi sm. Great prices for the quality. One of a kind ambiance. Family owned and family run. If you're lucky enough to go while they're open, you win

    2. Sake Teri Bento Box Lunch Special

    Food was amazing, I got the salmon bento box and it was very filling. tasted like it was made with love. The environment was nice seeing all the anime memorabilia and unique collection of the store owner. Service was top notch, 10/10 and the server was very caring and brought us only the best. Couldn't recommend this place enough

    The wall decor next to our table.  Super cute

    We celebrated my son's bday on sat June 1 and had a wonderful dinner. The ambiance is welcoming and full of interesting anime posters and figurines. There's old Hollywood classic movie posters scattered on the walls and a great playlist of rock , jazz playing in the background. It reminds me of a local hole in the wall Japanese food cafe We had excellent service and our dishes were fresh and enjoyed by all of us. I ordered the salmon and tempera bento box. Kids ordered soba noodles and the Saba fish plate. We also ordered the sushi assortment plate and two specialty rolls. Miso soup was served with the dinner entrees and was delicious. I opted for the salted salmon instead of teriyaki on my bento box and it was delicious. The tempura was generous. Two shrimps and an assortment of root veggies. I prefer a lighter crispier batter fry but still was good. The sushi was fresh and rolled with a good balance ratio of rice & goodies , cut in to several one -bite size potions. Making it easy to eat and savor Many sushi places cut the rolls into chunky large sizes and it's difficult to eat with one fell swoop of your chop sticks. We ordered green hot tea and it was served by the mug with a tea bag. Not in the traditional tea pot. Still good. Prices are reasonable 5 of us it was $150.

    Lots of posters in here!

    Got recommended to try out this place, which I will admit that I felt skeptical because their operating hours were a bit weird. But I decided to try it out on a Saturday evening. The place is a little small but there were still enough seats around and we sat at the bar. We ordered three nigiri (maguro, tamago, and Kura), two special rolls (Special Albacore Roll and Las Vegas Roll), and a regular sushi roll (spicy tuna roll). I will say I was actually quite impressed with the taste of them! This definitely is one of those authentic Japanese sushi restaurants as their rolls are smaller, which I actually prefer! And they actually add wasabi in their nigiri, which many sushi restaurants do not do. And the chef and everyone is Japanese! If you actually want some authentic Japanese food, I highly recommend giving this place a try! Make sure to check their operating hours before coming since they don't open all day. And there is a good amount of parking spots in the area so it shouldn't be too hard to find parking.

    Seaweed salad and spicy sashimi salad with Benito flakes: the awesome pokki salad!

    I moved away for a while, but I still like to come here. I love the fact that this is a truly authentic restaurant. The chef has been serving his food and cultivating his atmosphere, and it shows. I love the simplicity and uniqueness of this restaurant, even 8 years later. I saw the recent negative reviews, and I feel some yelpers are becoming divas. This isn't a Michelin-starred restaurant. There are very few of those in the world. I'm not Gordon Ramsay with extensive nonsense critical ability and training to back up my audacity. I'm just a regular guy who likes simple yet good food. That's why I like it here.

    Salmon dinner. With tempura and California roll!

    Still our favorite hole in the wall Japanese restaurant! The sushi is on point. The staff is friendly. A great selection of affordable beers. It's our go to Japanese/sushi!

    Close on Sundays!

    Hey hey they're open for takeout! Although it rarely comes to anyone's mind to order sushi takeout during a pandemic, don't forget Kuro-san's kitchen makes very nice bento boxes and combo lunches too and they're such a bargain! We wanted to support them because we love this place, so one lunch time we decided to order food there. I got their katsu with tempura combo and my hubby got his favorite sesame chicken lunch special. Oh wow, they packed our food soooo nicely in many separate containers! (We felt bad for all the plastic being used...) for my combo, one box was the katsu and rice, the other for tempura, another for California rolls, another one for salad and a bowl for miso soup....! Husband's special also came with 4 containers. When he came home, he had two giant bags of food even though we only ordered two lunch combos haha! Their food had always been amazing, and it didn't disappoint us for our first takeout experience!! Support Hyuga and stay healthy everyone!

    The sushi was pretty fresh and good (tuna belly, uni and sweet shrimp) except the scallop tasted a bit off, like fizzy. Rolls were yummy and smaller than other places I've had but I enjoyed the balanced portions. Reasonably priced. Overheard the chef has been here for 15 years. It felt like supporting an authentic mom-and-pop business which is always a plus. Unfortunately one person in my party got food poisoning that evening but I was fine.

    Albacore roll without albacore, again!
    Cliff P.

    We ordered the albacore special roll, the en fuego roll, California roll for my kid, and edamame. The en fuego roll was really good. Unfortunately the messed up the Special Albacore roll again. It's a great roll when they make it correctly at the restaurant, but for some reason they can't get it together when you order pick up or delivery. Super bummed to pay $17 bucks for a California roll coated in tempura flakes.

    On previous visit(s) experience(s): Food always fresh,…read morevisually pleasing, great tasting, served by attending and great staff. Pleasant atmosphere and vibe. Outdoor seating. My favorites, Kama, Sashimi, Steamed Veggies. Friday nights can be busy because there's a weekly farmers market venue that includes outdoor vendors, and music. (4pm - 8pm). Wish the restaurant operators would put grilled Tako on the menu.

    Came here with my husband and mother in law from out of town as we were craving sushi…read more My mother in law ordered 2 rolls, my husband ordered a rainbow roll and 2 hand rolls, and I ordered the B set sushi plate. I thought the rolls were bland despite them being a combo of good ingredients or sauced up (crunch salmon and the dynamite roll). The best thing was the baked dynamite roll. Maybe I'm a bit biased but if the best thing at sushi place includes baked cheese, it's not giving quality ingredients or talent for the cuisine category. The biggest letdown was my sushi plate. The fish didn't have much flavor and the texture was off. It almost seemed like someone rinsed the pieces of fish thoroughly under cold water. Also the 3 salads it came with were NOT fresh tasting and you could tell they'd been sitting all day (and not in a 'oh it marinating' good way). Service was also lacking, but it was a busy Saturday night. The ambiance is a 10 out of 10. I'll give it that. Plus they had plum wine which not many places do, and my mother in law loves.

On my last order... Chicken Bowl-fresh vegetables and teriyaki chicken over round rice. Sunomono (cucumber) salad was delicious and refreshing. Spicy tuna roll and tiger roll were incredible as always. I'm so glad that this restaurant opened few years ago. We've pretty much had everything on the menu and never been disappointed.

    I really wanted to like Sapporo, as I've been trying to find an alternative to the excellent sushi…read morespot in La Costa Town Square (no affiliation). I came in for lunch and ordered the "B" special, which includes 4 pieces of chef's choice nigiri and 5 pieces of sashimi, along with two gyoza, salad, and miso soup. Positives: * The salmon and tuna quality were very good * Service was friendly Negatives: * Despite the apparent freshness, several pieces of fish were cut with noticeable connective tissue (white fibrous strands), which made the sushi and sashimi unpleasant to eat * The spicy tuna roll was extremely spicy, far beyond typical sriracha or similar, to the point it was hard to finish * The salad dressing (looked like a Thousand Island style) was also unexpectedly spicy and heavily coated the lettuce * The albacore quality was not great and also had connective tissue * The ambiance was loud and not very relaxing * Seating felt oddly high and uncomfortable * Prices felt steep for what was served (around $50 for sushi/sashimi lunch options; the mixed "B" special was $26) * The soy sauce dish was very small and made it difficult to dip the nigiri properly Overall, a disappointing experience given the price point. I was hoping to find a new go-to spot, but I'll keep looking.

Coincidentally, if you're still naive enough to believe in that sort of thing, was the night the family ate at LOVE BOAT SUSHI and my grandson's birthday. we sat outside to accommodate a party of nine there to celebrate the thirteenth anniversary of Benjamin's birth. that's a nod to my late father who ALWAYS insisted on making the distinction between anniversary (which happens every year) and the actual day of birth (which happens only once). as you would reasonably assume from the photos (and AWOL are an additional eight or ten items), to paraphrase a line from my favorite Muppet movie, dinner in this restaurant costs the same as a new Buick. hey, I read it in the Wall Street Journal -- it must be true. service and food were both five stars. happy birthday, Benjamin. ps: not sure why only ten of the nineteen photos attached to the footer of my review since they ALL posted. does Yelp have a cutoff of ten?
