Everyone was very friendly and service was efficient. They great you when you walk in and also on your way out. The calamari was fresh and the aioli dipping sauce paired well. The truffle salmon roll was soooo delish. It was the first to go. Definitely will see myself back here!

Was craving some Ramen and saw this place on Yelp. Was…read morepleasantly surprised. I ordered the shoyu ramen. It had a simple and clean flavor. The Cha shu was not too fatty and wasn't dried out. It really hit the spot. Ordered agadashi Tofu and Spicy tuna rolls for appetizers, both were well prepared. My wife had the BiBimBap. Which was actually Dol Sot BiBimBap so that was a nice surprise. The two people working there were Super Nice. I am definitely going to be back.

I really enjoyed the #9 Marinated Boneless Galbi and #27 Gopchang (small intestine). We got the wrong order a few times like the large intestines instead of the small intestines, but that was fine! They had good sides to order like the kimchi, sesame balls, corn cheese, sticky rice wraps, vegetables, green onion salad, pickled radish wrap, and ramen. But I will now tell you WHAT NOT TO ORDER! Stay away from the #37 tteakbokki, it was atrocious with few rice cakes and the sauce was horrible. Highly recommend not getting the tteakbokki here!

Their sashimi has been fresh everytime, very unique…read moredishes also available like carpaccio with monk fish liver that you can't easily find elsewhere to try. They also have a rotating specials menu so there's different seafood options to try for your sushi and also cooked options. My go to is the chirashi bowl. Good portions and delicious sashimi! Sushi is one of my favorite foods, so I don't say it lightly :). I have brought family and friends back here too My brother in law brought his kid and tried the chicken of the sea nuggets (tuna) and even I loved them! Friendly service, although sometimes food takes a while to come out. The parking is plentiful, in a plaza parking lot. Good ambiance for a bit more casual date night that's cozy!

The menu is pretty extensive, but it definitely has a good quality for what we ordered. Service is quick and ordering to food coming out was pretty fast. For someone with a low tolerance of spice, you never know how spicy the spicy tuna will actually be, I gambled wrong for my tolerance. Delicious none the less but for me a little too spicy haha! The other rolls were fantastic though, and all very good. Would definitely come again if in the area!

The atmosphere is ok but I have to say some of the tables are so uncomfortable because of the grill (my legs kept hitting the grill). The first time I dined in I got the galbi and it was really good. The next time I got the galbi tang with cabbage to go and got a bad stomachache after. The third time I went I got the yuk gae jang and it was ok. I may or may not go back and try other items.

Food: 5 Service: 5…read moreAmbiance: 4 After living in Poway for 25 years, I only discovered Joyee within the past two years, and honestly, I have no idea how I missed it for so long. Joyee is a legit, homey Chinese restaurant that delivers every single time. The service is friendly, no fuss, and very efficient, whether it's busy or slow. What really stands out is the food. It is always fresh, piping hot, and insanely delicious every time we visit. No matter when we come, the quality and consistency never change. Everything we've ordered has been amazing -- from the boiled fish and boiled beef to the walnut shrimp, salt and pepper fish, Mongolian beef, and the green beans with garlic, which is my absolute favorite. Every dish hits the spot. We've also ordered takeout many times for family gatherings, and the food always travels well and is just as good at home. We are always left super happy and super stuffed after every visit. If you're looking for a solid Chinese food spot in Poway, I cannot recommend Joyee enough. This is hands down my number one Chinese restaurant in Poway,

Disappointing takeout experience. I asked for a simple adjustment to my beef chow fun (more…read morenoodles, less vegetables and meat), but the staff refused and then hung up on me. Very unprofessional. The inability to make even a basic change also makes me question whether the food is freshly cooked, it feels more like pre-made. Wouldn't come back.

I have faith. Worth the try!

I always get the bulgogi tofu pot with brown rice, medium spicy, and I'm never disappointed! Deep flavors boiling in front of you.. the worst part about this place is that you have to wait for your dish to cool down enough to eat it! If you like eggs, make sure you quickly Crack one in there so it can cook while the dish cools down. I'm always a fan of this place and will be coming back in the near future!

Oi Fusion in Carmel Mountain is a casual Asian fusion spot with bowls, fries, wings, desserts, and…read morehonestly a menu where everything sounds good. One of my favorite things about this place is how easy it is. You order on the kiosk, grab a seat, and your food usually comes out within like 10-15 minutes. The inside has a lot of seating and even games like Jenga which makes it feel like a fun spot to hang out for lunch. I didn't interact much with service since I used the kiosk, but the worker upfront was really friendly and even brought my takeout to my table. This time I tried the Dynamite Crawfish Bowl and the Dynamite Fries. The bowl comes with crawfish, rice, dynamite sauce, eel sauce, seaweed, sesame seeds, and pickled radish on top. The fries normally come with sweet potato fries but I swapped mine for regular fries because I just wasn't feeling sweet potato that day. The fries were honestly kind of underwhelming. It was basically fries with dynamite sauce and only a few pieces of garlic confit, which was the part I was most excited for. They weren't bad, just really underwhelming. I honestly think the sweet potato fries probably would've worked better with the flavors. The crawfish bowl though was really good. The crawfish had this slight smoky flavor to it like it was lightly torched and they give you a lot in each bite. The rice was fluffy and cooked perfectly and the pickled radish on top helped cut through all the richness from the sauces. Everything worked really well together flavor wise. My only complaint is that halfway through the bowl the flavors started blending together a little too much and it gets boring, but overall it was still super satisfying and filling. Definitely still one of my favorite quick lunch spots in Carmel Mountain and somewhere I'd bring friends because the menu has so many good options. Their dessert menu also sounds insane so I already know I'll be back.

My favorites are the chicken adobo and loco moco bowls. My husband usually gets their dynamite crawfish bowl. The food is tastefully crafted together. For an introvert like me, I don't mind ordering ahead of time or using their kiosk to order and wait in the dining room. They still greeted me and was super friendly when giving me my order. Their walls are decorated with pictures of their food and a wall of art. So cute. The tables looked new and clean.

FYI: Order ahead for this takeout-centric spot!…read more We learned the hard way-do your research before coming! This BHC location is strictly pick-up only, though there are a few tables and seats out front in the plaza for outdoor dining. We ordered via the kiosk and waited about 20 minutes. Next time, I'll definitely order online in advance so it's ready when I arrive. While waiting, we popped into the Vons next door for bottled drinks since they only have cans here. What we ordered: 5-piece Hot Fried Drumsticks: Crispy and decent flavor. Sweet & Spicy Rice Bowl: This was a solid choice. It comes with both rice and japchae & I found the noodles especially flavorful! Halfway through our meal at the outdoor tables, a staff member kindly brought out plates and gloves, mentioning she didn't realize we were planning to eat there. It was a really nice service touch for a spot that mainly focuses on takeout.

If there was an option to dump them in a flavor or dressing it would go a long way. Regular chicken had multiple options for flavors. Those same options should come for the boneless (nuggets). Service was great. I had never been to the spot so they waited until I ordered and helped me pick something since I was lost. The feel of the place was great! Maybe next time I try the actual wings and not basically chicken nuggets.
