Good take out place for sushi, ramen, bowls & bento boxes. This quaint place is located in the "Islands" in the middle of a business park. Geared more towards take out, there's no dine-in option but plenty of outdoor seating for this place and for the other eateries nestled here. The menu is small, but the food, delicious! We were helped by one employee who does the register and the cooking, and he was pleasant & efficient. We got the pork ramen and the beef (bulgogi) bento box. The flavors were great and the food tasted freshly made. This was a wonderful experience and glad we arrived before they close at 2:00pm (Saturday). read more

I ordered the teriyaki chicken bowl which was very good. Packaged air tight so the was no spillage. Big pieces of chicken and a salad in the bowl along with an egg roll. The egg roll was probably my favorite part of the meal. They even included a soy sauce packet which I appreciated because I squirted a few drops on the last remaining bites of rice. J Box is great if you are trying to not overeat during lunch. Portion control is one of the hardest things about losing weight...also exercise. read more

I'm a regular at this place and the food is delicious! I love the Katsu curry here, my critique is that the Katsu curry bowl can be a bit bigger to accommodate more food These guys are fast and service is 10/10. read more

I found this place on Door Dash and I can't believe I've never been. It was great! The sushi and tempura in the bento box were fresh and great!

J Box @ The Island is by far my favorite lunch spot. I come here at least 1-2 times per week. They have the freshest Poke around. They really ruined all the other Poke places for me because every time I try one - I always compare it to theirs and it is never as good. read more

This little place is located in The Island, a shopping plaza and very nice food court near my hotel. Though there are many choices for fast food here, inlcuing French, Tacos, Pizza, Bakery, Indian and Smoothies, I opted for the J BOX and was pleased with the result. I ordered: Ramen - Our signature ramen soup is made from a mixture of pork broth, a rich and healthy miso paste, and soy sauce. Served with cha-shu pork, bean sprout, egg, crab stick, and green onion. $9.45. And the outside dining venue for this food court is very pleasant, with seating under awnings available and a large fountain in the middle of the court. You've probably heard of the Good, Fast, Cheap Paradigm, where you can only get 2 out of three (Good and Fast, or Fast and Cheap for example). But the J BOX was Good, Fast and Inexpensive, a great choice for a fast lunch. A solid 4 stars for the J BOX. read more

We came for lunch on a Friday afternoon and it was pretty popular in this place. Mostly looked like a business lunch crowd with folks that probably all work in the nearby office buildings. We were headed to Legoland (a few minutes away) and thought we'd stop by for a quick bite. Since it's part of a food court, my family all wanted different cuisines, so we split up and one person got a sandwich at Croutons, two people split Indian food at Punjabi Tandoor, and one person got a Bento box at J-box. The Bul-go-gi was a little bit on the dry side but flavored well. Portion size was good (see photo). There was plenty of rice, and the California Rolls were on par with typical grocery-store level Cali Rolls with imitation Krab meat in them. Avocado and cucumber in it were both fresh and the rice was not dry. The Tempura shrimp was also satisfactory. I thought the salad was a bit bland/plain, even though there was dressing tossed into it. The ingredients were fresh though. Food came out pretty fast. --------TL;DR-------- PROS: location is convenient, service was fast. In the Food Court with plenty of outdoor seating. Portion sizes were good. CONS: prices a bit on the higher end for a lunch ($14.45 for the Bul-go-gi Bento box). Salad could use more dressing. BOTTOM LINE: If you want fairly quick takeout Japanese food, this place has it. Since it's in a Food Court, you have other selections to look into as well (Croutons, a sandwich/salad place nearby was our winner of the 3 places we went, btw). read more

J BOX - Bul-go-gi Bento - Japanese Near Me - Carlsbad, California

When one of my accounts asked for me to get their lunch from J Box I literally thought they were telling me they wanted me to go to Jack in the Box... I was a little surprised... like nobody has ever asked me to get them food from there. Well... not sober at least! When they started to name sushi rolls I became even more confused. Like when did Jack in the Box start selling sushi and why on this green and blue earth would you ever order sushi if they did start serving it?!? Thankfully my confusion was short lived and I learned of this small little sushi spot. They have online ordering which was very convenient for me. They were able quick and efficient getting my order correct. Their rolls were fresh and everyone seemed very happy with their order. I enjoyed my bento and I felt the prices were fair for the amount of food. I wouldn't say I was completely head over heels, however I for my simple bento and spicy tuna roll, they hit the spot! read more

JBox by most accounts and by their website sounds appealing and appetizing, but frankly it's subpar and were it not for my need to warn you about it, forgettable. Over the years I've come here a handful of times and it's been mediocre, but being open minded when I started working nearby I decided to give them another chance. Since that happened I've come here 3 times and they've either made mistakes or errors on each of my orders. The first time they placed my order as a Paradise roll at $9.95 instead of a Philly Role at $7.45. Correcting them and them correcting the chef in the back I assumed they would refund my money, nope. Just shrugged it off. Really bro? I normally tip 20%, but you lost that by being incompetent. Philly roll needs to be righter and not square. Next visit. Teriyaki Chicken bento box. Salad is nothing like what it looks like, forget tomatoes, just shredded lettuce and carrot slivers with a creamy sauce with no identity. Shrimp tempura was soggy by the time I got to my office 1 mile away. Same with the egg roll. I like the chicken, but found the sauce to be bland for teriyaki. My California rolls had soy sauce on it already, what? Poke is basic, and not even competitive with the poke craze that hit San Diego 4 years ago. It just seems lazy. The fish is ok and I'm glad they use avo and seaweed salad, but it's not that much more difficult to bring some authenticity to the "fast casual fusion" they seem to be going for. This visit they did not give me an "all salmon" bowl. The menu is too small to not do everything well. The prices aren't amazing the food isn't anything to write home about, the service is bunk because they won't fix their mistakes or when you bring it up to them the next time it's like, that wasn't me or oh well. They don't even put the right sauces in their items. Sometimes I just want rice, so the bowl is the hardest for them to mess up. If they mess up my next order or two and don't acknowledge it fix it it's half way to JSux. read more

Full disclosure: my seven year-old daughter wanted to write a review and tell you how she feels about J Box- Guys this place is the bomb I LOVE sushi I am so happy and it has drinks too. aaawwweeesssooommmeee read more

This restaurant is in a great location! My coworkers and I met up here for lunch and I decided to try JBox. I got the j box spicy tuna roll that came with a house salad for only $7.45. I also got a miso soup that was under $2. My meal came out to around $10, you can't beat that price! My meal was yummy and fresh. They brought out the food quickly too! So if you work in the area and might be worried about the wait, don't be!! They were friendly, helpful, and fast. I will definitely be back to have lunch here. During the week parking can be hectic and finding a place to sit outside might be tough during the lunch rush. But my friends and I found couch seats under the shade that were great. And don't forget to ask for a side of spicy mayo or soy sauce, there's no extra cost! They did have a bento box option but only with chicken and beef, I really wished they had a vegetarian option or pescatarian option (especially for people like myself who don't eat red meat/or who only eat fish/vegan/vegetarians). I hope they can change that in the future!! read more

Ahh! Its SO NICE to know there's a Japanese place around the corner from work :-) There are 7 rolls to choose from.. which all come with a house salad as well.. there are also 3 salads entrees too! They few have a few korean dishes "korean beef" aka bulgogi, and you can get it as is, or as a bowl too. The family that owns this place is really sweet. They even carry a few Japanese drinks too like Calpico and Green/Oolong tea in a can. The salad dressing amazing and the paradise roll was yummy too! For the sushi and salad it was roughly $9 or a little less. The sushi is SUPER FRESH! Two thumbs up in my book! i'll be back again soon! read more

J BOX - Philadelphia roll comes with a salad! - Japanese Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Not sure what the hype is about. I am guessing the high ratings are from people that work in the area and are relegated to the food court for variable options. I had the #7, spicy tuna poke and choice of a Cali or spicy tuna roll. It came with a small salad of romaine ribs mostly (see pic). With a soda it came to about $14 for about 8 pieces of poke (mostly spices and sesame seeds), a weak roll (think small step up from grocery store quality), and a soda. I won't be back unless I get a job across the street and had to eat nearby. read more

I only have a 30 minute lunch break, so I like calling ahead and placing my order over the phone so when I get there, my food will be ready to go. Well, today, the day I decide to try J BOX for the first time, their phone was accidentally off the hook for the first 30 min after they opened! But I still took a chance, risking me running over my lunch break, and was the first customer of the day it looked like, score! Food came out decently fast, and I made it back to the office within 30 min. Located across from Thermo Fischer, in the food court area. Plenty of parking! I ordered: - Poke tuna over a spicy tuna roll (comes with a side salad) - SAMM (bulgogi on top of rice and sauce, wrapped in seaweed) - $15.00 Ok, so a bit pricey for lunch on a weekday. But the sushi was delicious! Pretty spicy I thought! I'll come back here on paycheck days haha. read more

Good place for a quick bite. They offer great combo options, and everything I tasted ranged from decent to above average. The place was clean and well kept. It is part of a food court, so is quite small with centralized seating. I would say that more than half of the places in this food court were closed on a Saturday, so my guess is that this spot does most of its business on weekdays. The food court itself is tucked away in an industrial center, so it would make sense that most customers work in the area. I only came across it from a Yelp search, and had to waze it to find it. Overall, I would recommend them to anyone looking for a quick bite with decent options. Not quite a must try or anywhere to go out of your way for though. read more

I was craving beef bulgogi so I made the drive to try out J BOX. It's a bit tucked in among some industrial buildings. Parking was easy to find, but I came during lunch time on a weekday so I found myself mixed in with the lunch hour rush (which honestly wasn't that bad). J BOX is located indoors, but all the seating is in an outdoor food court where the majority of tables and chairs are shaded by umbrellas. The weather was beautiful when we went, so it was really comfortable to sit on the wooden lawn chairs, umbrella blocking the sun, and watching and hearing the large water fountain nearby. It was just a very relaxing environment! I would probably not come here during rainy days though since there is no indoor seating. We ordered one J Bowl with chicken and one J Bowl with beef bulgogi. It came with rice (brown rice is 50 cents extra), one veggie egg roll, and a salad. The service and the food was okay. The girl that worked behind the counter offered very minimal pleasantries, just took my order and gave me my receipt. Which is whatever, just glad my order was correct. Rice was fluffy and the salad was a salad, lol. The beef bulgogi is not as good as one that you would get at your average sit-down Korean restaurant, but it is okay. Probably not something to drive all the way out for if you live far away, but if you're in the area, it is a solid, quick option. I will probably come back and try their poke. read more

Today, I will admit I was craving Pho but all the local places near me did not allow online ordering and then I remembered that J Box is literally down the street. Usually, I would order their Beef Teri Bowl but I gave it shot at their ramen... ultimately, it became one of my favorite local ramen spots. On another side note, my office orders from J Box every few months for whenever we have office meeting and/or birthdays, and they never fail to impress us with the ability to accommodate particular diets and accuracy. Keep up the good work! read more

The chicken curry was okay. I think for a quick bite on a lunch break it will satisfy. As for a authentic Japanese curry flavor fix, I would go elsewhere. read more

J BOX is a humble cafe located in a food court where you can find various food genres. Came here for lunch and ordered their Poke Bowl ($11.95). It's simple, nothing fancy, but undoubtedly one of the freshest poke fishes I've ever tasted. By default, each bowl comes with a blend of raw tuna and salmon poke. For an extra touch of yum, you can request for additional sauces (extra $0.50 charge), and my personal recommendation would be their spicy aioli sauce - It was a good combination that got me hooked right on the spot! In All, JBOX is a great find on my short trip to Carlsbad. Great service and the food were good, very fresh, light and delicious. Recommended. read more

J BOX - Poke bowl...so good! - Japanese Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Been coming here for years and they've consistently provided great food and awesome customer service. I generally try and stay away from any fast serviced sushi but this place is surprisingly good. Aside from that, they do offer a wide variety of Asian dishes from chicken teriyaki, bulgogi, poke and ramen. As with any food court, it tends to get busy during lunch time. If you don't have the time to wait, you are able to call your order in. Here are some of the dishes I've found take the most time: - Poke Bowl - Chicken Katsu Curry - Ramen On my last visit, I had the Poke Bowl ($12). A little pricey but it's expected with poke. However, you do get a generous amount of fish (salmon & tuna) along with seaweed salad, rice, house salad and avocado. Fish tasted fresh and was marinated well. Rice was cooked well. House salad is plain. Nothing really special there so I usually ask to leave it out. Service is always friendly. They usually have 2-3 people working the front so they get through the crowd fairly quickly. Even the owners take the time to give a smile and say hi to their regulars. If you're in the area, it's worth a try for lunch. I'll be back when I fail to meal prep for work which is pretty often. :) read more

J BOX - Poke Bowl ($12) - Japanese Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Very cute little asian fusion store in the food court. I ordered the beef bowl, and although it came a little dry (less sauce than usual), good flavor and good portions. I got a taste of their other appetizers (fake crab meat and cream cheese?) and it was amaaazing. I think some food items are hit and miss, I thought the sushi was alright for being some fast sushi, but I'd like to try the ramen and curry. The guys behind the counter were very nice and courteous. There was a slight wait during lunch hours, but with the fountain and patio seating, it feels relaxing. In addition, it's the only little asian fusion bowl store near my work place, so I will frequent here more often than not. read more

Friendly, fast and good consistent quality food! Nice little spot located in a cool little food court in cbad. I've been here a few times and they never disappoint. They are pretty quick which is a huge plus in this area that caters mostly the 30 minute lunch breakers but if your in a hurry, you can always call in your order. Today I ordered their Bulgogi bowl. It comes with white rice (I LOVE RICE), marinated meat, a side garden salad and a veggie egg roll. It's great, tasty and very filling! It cost about $10 but it's pretty fair for their food quality. They also have a pretty good poke bowl for $12. Good portion of salmon, tuna and seaweed salad! read more

Decided to try this place because it was a good halfway point for my friend who lives in OC and me, who is now in SD. Also the Yelp reviews were great. I would've given it a higher score but when I got my drink (iced tea) there were 2 baby flies that came out of the tea dispenser! I showed the guy behind the counter and all he said was, " Oh, here's a new cup". Thanks, but GO DUMP YOUR TEA and WASH OUT your dispenser!!! Its too bad too because the food was pretty good. Not likely to return unless I get bottled drinks instead of fountain drinks. Ick. read more

J BOX - Bento box containing salad, california rolls, tempura shrimp, an eggroll, and teriyaki chicken with rice. - Japanese Near Me - Carlsbad, California

My friend and I met up at J Box for lunch earlier today. This was the first visit for the both of us. J Box is a small and very, very clean and tidy Japanese American fast food restaurant. It is not your typical fast food joint. It's healthy and delicious. Plus: The prices are awesome!! The food is fresh, healthy and delicious. And... the service is quick. I was able to drive to, order/ wait for the food, and drive back to work within a 30 minute window. (Maybe, I was just lucky??) Minus: Their rolls are smaller than what I'm used to. Maybe they're trying to compensate for the low price. Their menu is simple and direct.... So are the rolls. The shrimp tempura only had shrimp and avocado in it. I can't complain too much because it is "fast food." read more

This place is close to my work, so we order food here a lot. I like their online order system and usually the food is ready to be picked up on time. Most of the selections are tasty but I think their price are pretty high considering the portions. Its hard to order on Saturdays because there is only one person doing everything and one person cooking. Communication is not best either. No matter how many times I put on the online order for brown rice, I keep getting white rice ... but the location is so convenient so I will probably go back. read more

I'd probably give this place 3.5 stars. I've had this bookmarked to try out, but never really got around to it because of the distance. I was already in the area and decided to stop by because the coffee shop I was looking for had closed early. They are located in a food court/strip mall type area, with a large pond/fountain just off of Faraday Ave. There is no seating at any of the shops, except for maybe a bench to sit on while you wait for your food. I ordered the Bulgogi bento box, and boy was it expensive! The bento box came with several items: 2 shrimp tempura (nice, crispy, not fishy tasting, but the dip tasted like it should have been with gyoza instead of tempura), a vegetable eggroll, salad (the vegetables tasted fresh, but there was little dressing on it), your choice of either a 4 piece california roll or spicy tuna (spicy tuna roll was good, but seemed hastily made and some didn't hold together very well), and the beef bulgogi. The bulgogi is similar to the beef in a Japanese beef bowl, but with Korean flavors. It tasted pretty good, but was a bit on the dry side. I've had it several times in South Korea, and it was usually served pretty wet with sauce. The customer service was all business, a welcome from the cashier and that was it. No small talk, no smiling faces, just a give me your money/here's your food, now leave kind of vibe. You're on your own for utensils, they don't put anything but the food in the bag. They are near the soda machine, chopsticks, forks, low sodium soy sauce, etc. There is little containers of hot sauce near the register, I think it was sriracha, but would have preferred the Korean gochujang to go with the bulgogi. Overall the food was pretty good, but very overpriced for what I ordered. I'd probably try one of the daily specials on a second visit, but that too seemed expensive. read more

I have been waiting for something like this to come to the area for so long; J Box' food is so fucking fresh!* I've been to San Sai once or twice and it's OK, but never exactly what I wanted and always little pricey. At J Box the prices are perfect; I wonder how long they will stay so low. So far I've had the J Bowl, and No. 7 - Spicy Tuna Poki. Both were absolutely fantastic and way too good for their cost....and both were made even better by their Sriracha-esque hot sauce. The owners of J Box have executed every aspect of their business perfectly: from their solid and consistent brand to their extremely well thought out menu (on flat screens no less). Winrar. * I fucking loath the word fresh. It's neo-hippie, Prius-driving, locavorian, going-green bullshit in almost every case. I reserve this word for emergency situations only. Using it as an adjective to describe J Box is such a circumstance. read more

I got sent down to Carlsbad for work and spent an hour Yelping to try to find something yummy, quick, and semi-healthy. J Box was the only place within a 5 mile radius of the client's office that fit the description. The first day, I ordered the seared albacore salad and added a side of bulgogi. Everything was fresh and tasty and I thought the little onigiri that came with it was adorable. The albacore wasn't amazing, but it was at least average quality. I got 5 big pieces with a garlic ponzu sauce that I really enjoyed. The sauce was great both as a dipping sauce for the fish and as a salad dressing. The romaine was not at all wilted and the seaweed salad was really good as well, not overly salty like they can sometimes be. The cute little onigiri was made with seasoned sushi rice that could have done with a little more seasoning, but I enjoyed it anyways. I liked the bulgogi enough to order the bulgogi J bowl the second day. It wasn't the best bulgogi I've ever had, but it had a nice mix of sweet and salty and the sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds was a nice touch. I absolutely love that J Box offers brown rice. The bowl came with their house salad and a vegetable egg roll. The egg roll was the least yummy part of the bowl. The filling wasn't too bad, but the wrapper was too thick and not very crispy. I liked the sweet dressing on the salad luckily because there was a lot more salad than I thought there would be. I'm not complaining though because I was extremely full when I finished the bowl. Surprising, since the bowl didn't look all that big and I was worried that I would still be hungry when I first saw it. read more

They call this place "The Island" but we refer to it as "The Food Court". We end up here because it's near the office and we're lazy. The food here is good; the menu is really limited, it's fairly expensive (for lunch, less so compared to other sushi places), and they're not all that fast, but everything I've had was well-prepared and tasty. Extra star because it's probably the healthiest meal you can have here. read more

what is it about a bowl of noodles and steaming broth that just feels like a warm hug ?? there are lots of "dining" options at the food court (pizza, gyros, tacos, sandwiches and whatever they dish-up at RICE KING) but, after browsing thru the YELP reviews, settled on J BOX. the guy at the counter was extra friendly and very helpful. i ordered the ramen (spicy after i added a couple shots of sriracha), a miso-pork soup with roasted pork, fish cakes, scallions, semi-hard boiled egg, nori, a sprinkling of sesame seeds and a big pile of noodles -- a delicious way to slurp your way thru lunch. best eaten with chopsticks and lots and lots of wet, sucking noises. also had a SSAM roll (again, spicy after adding a shot of sriracha), a nori wrapped mini burrito with rice, daikon sprouts and a sprinkling of sesame seeds. J BOX is a great light and healthy lunch alternative. read more

My lady called me over to have lunch with her one Friday when I wasn't working. She tells me about this place J Box that she goes most Friday's. It was sunny and beautiful outside. A perfect day for lunch on a patio. J Box is a small place with only two tables and a counter. The lady working said counter is super nice and somehow remembers EVERYONE's name. We waited a minute or two in line, she answered a few of my questions, took our order and called our names super quick to pick up our food. We ate on the huge patio outside. Being that I've never eaten there before, I'm not sure how full the patio gets, but I could see the situation come up where you have to eat out in the sun. That could be a little uncomfortable, but I really don't know what I'm talking about now, do I? We had the bulgogi bowl and the California roll with some really huge pieces of quality tuna on top. The bulgogi came with a small salad with a creamy dressing, an eggroll and a mound of your choice of white or brown rice. The Cali roll came with a small salad as well. Both were quite tasty and I would order them again. The only reason J Box doesn't get 5 stars is because I wanted some sake with my sushi/bulgogi and they don't have booze. read more
