    Delicious take-away sushi with a Tex-Mex twist. Lots of choices on the menu. Among us we had five different dishes. All excellent.

    Wow, I'm so impressed by the quality of the food here! For a drive thru spot, I expected fast food…read moregrade, but this is beyond my expectation good! I got their chicken and beef plate that came with miso soup, rice and salad. First of all their teriyaki sauce and salad dressing are both sweet, which I didn't mind. Secondly, their meat was either charboiled or grilled and I love how flavorful the meats were and the beef is not just beef, they were thin steak strips! They cut it into bite size pieces for you. Most of all, and I feel a bit ridiculous to even say this but how did they make their rice so tasty?! Each grain were so pillowy with a bite to it, chewy and fluffy, not too soft, as if rice can be al dente. It was literally perfectly cooked. I am guessing they used sushi rice, without the seasoning. Service was fine, I ordered ahead of time on their website and then picked it up at the window. Took 15-20 min. I didn't go inside to check the ambiance since I just needed to go quickly. Will definitely one back again to dine in with my hubby.

    They serve rolls, udon, ramen, stir fry, rice, bowls…read more We ordered a variety of dishes to share with 4 of us. A few dishes stood out. The chicken katsu curry lacked flavor as in the curry spice but the katsu was cooked well. I enjoyed the Black garlic tonkotsu ramen. The broth was garlicky and the meat just melts in your mouth. The karaage was very hard and dry. This place is decent for the area of Escondido if you can't get yourself to Convoy area. Food is average, not the best but it'll do.

    We are officially DONE with this place. Ever since they changed the restaurant from Fiore to Salt &…read moreFin, it has all gone downhill. I understand they're competing with the other restaurants. However, they really need to reevaluate everything. The last couple times we went to the main restaurant, and as my previous reviews state, the food has never improved although the servers were amazing. The food cannot stand on its own. We took our son specifically to the oyster bar because there were noodles. Unfortunately, we were told once we sat down that there was no Ramen and the udon was not an option. So my son had decided he wanted the curry rice. My husband and I settled on getting some light appetizers and possibly wanted to split a dish. However, remembering that the rice was horrible and overcooked, we avoided any rice based dishes. So we asked our wonderful server For a taste of the sushi rice (please note that my husband is a sushi chef), unfortunately, they were not accommodating so we did not feel comfortable to order sushi at that time. We sat at the bar, watching everything get prepared, we realize that the young person who was building the seafood tower was inexperienced. We only say that because every oyster and clam that we had on the tower had some type of shell broken in or possibly dirt. The shrimp and crab legs were fine. However, we could not get past eating the majority of the oysters as they were not shucked properly. As we waited for our son's dish, we were told that the curry was no longer an option, and unfortunately, that was the only other food. My son was interested in. I do not put blame on the oyster bar front of house, staff, because I knew they were not the ones in the kitchen who dropped the ball in making the curry for the evening. As my husband and I received our temporary shrimp, one of them was rancid. They were kind enough to replace it, however, we have to note that the temporary batter was not properly stored because it was too thick like a pancake batter, the temperature was either too low or the batter was too warm. The tempura vegetables were okay but the batter killed it. Also the tempura sauce itself, was way too sweet. Most of it could've been easily bought by the food distribution company Sysco. Not something I would want to pay high price for. The salad that we ordered, was a simple Caesar salad however, it was lightly dressed, and we could barely taste anything. It's just heartbroken to see that they have all the space to work on noodles and yet nothing could be done about using it. Maybe they can't afford to fix it. I don't know. The restaurant seemed like it had in a space for a lot of guests however they were very limited. I'm not sure if it's because the kitchen staff was overwhelmed and they couldn't handle high volume. It's just very disappointing that we couldn't get the food that we would've liked. Unfortunately we did end up going to another place to get some chicken on the property. It was a total waste of money and we will never return.

    We were sat at the bar which has a different menu than the actual restaurant. We started off with…read morethe clam chowder and it was ok in my opinion. Not my favorite. Next we ordered the seafood tower to share. It was really fresh and delicious and enough for two people. Overall it was a very tranquil experience and staff was very attentive.

Muna you have a heart of gold I thank you for making my family and I feel warm and welcomed. You really deserve the best in life! Muna's professionalism, kindness, and warmth truly changed my experience. Maurice was also very welcoming and kind. He greeted us with a big smile and made sure we felt comfortable and attended to. Before going in, I opened the restaurant door where a group of ladies and one male yelled with a very rude tone "we're closed." After their rude comment, the female employee with the copsticks in her hair (who ended up working at the bar today) turned to her friends and laughed with them. It is very rude and unprofessional to greet a customer that way. It is purely childish. This was 4 minutes before opening. Before I even stepped inside to ask a simple question to see if we need reservations, I was disrespected and felt so disappointed I walked away. I wanted to say something to management and never dine here again but Muna changed my experience. Thank you Muna for making such a positive and strong impact for salt & fin. If it wasn't for you, I would not have come here again.

    The best part of this place is the oysters!! So fresh and insanely delicious…read more The rest of everything else was subpar. I came here for my birthday dinner and was a disappointed. No complaints to our server but probably to management, but they seemed understaffed for a Saturday night. We got neglected a lot and observed the other tables complaining. $80 for a mid steak is crazy. But shame on me for craving a steak in this casino i guess. Meat was tender but you could taste that it was probably thawing in the fridge for a couple of days. Also disappointed in the lobster roll. Lobster itself was cold which over time made the bread itself cold. Ended up just taking out the sad lobster and eating the roll itself because it was buttered up and fried goood... just cold. Wouldn't really recommend those two dishes. Ambiance was nice and cozy and they had those fake candles. I'm not sure I came on a bad night but I came out disappointed. Wouldn't recommend for a birthday dinner.

One waitress was giving people the wrong food and not paying attention at all, she was just sort of walking around giving people the wrong orders. Problem was I had time to just sit and watch the mess. I wanted to order the poke bowl but I couldn't decide if I wanted the salmon or tuna. I asked the waiter what was freshest. He went to ask the kitchen and came back with "both arrived fresh today". Liars!!!!! I ordered the tuna.... It was previously frozen (should have just told me that) and very fishy smelling and tasting! The rice at the bottom was in a POOL of dressing... It was terrible!! I have never had an issue with this meal! My husband ordered a Philly roll. The rice was way too sweet and it just didn't taste fresh, we left 4 pieces on the plate! To add insult to injury, it took FOREVER to get our food! The other customers were also having issues with the service and getting their food. We left hungry!! $60.... Flush! I have noticed a decline in quality of the food the last few times I've eaten here. I might try one more time. This used to be our favorite sushi place! It was a place we would come for a special sushi night. Not any more!

    I visited the buffet twice this month- mostly because I didn't have enough time to try more items…read morethe first time. The wait is LONG! Be prepared to wait an hour at least. The selection is good- they have sushi but I don't recommend it. They also have a surf and turf that comes with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Good deal. I liked the variety of drinks and desserts. I recommend grabbing a hot chocolate on your way out. This place is only worth it if you can eat ! I liked the portion sizes because they allow you to rey more things. You can only order 4 items at a time and that's great because the table space is not much & really? How much food do you need at once. For dessert I recommend some ice cream or cheesecake. I say go at least once and carve time to be in line and 2 hours for dinner.

    The food and the variety here is why this place gets four stars, but the service completely drags…read morethe entire experience down. First off, note that this isn't a traditional self-serve buffet. You have to order everything through a server, and you're capped at ordering 4 items at a time. The Highlights: Great Variety: Solid selection across both entrees and the desserts. The Standouts: Lobster tails, crab legs, and beef tenderloin. The crab legs were awesome, sweet and surprisingly not overly salty like most casino buffets. Pro-Tip: Skip the prime rib and go straight for the beef tenderloin. The Lowlights: The service was pretty atrocious. Getting food brought to the table was a battle, we dealt with forgotten items, servers disappearing for long stretches, and an overall persistent feeling of being rushed. Great food can only save a place so much when the actual dining experience is a constant headache. Hard to recommend until they fix the service.

It disappeared from our table in record time. We also ordered the house special fried rice, chicken teriyaki ramen, beef and chicken yakisoba, and the Korean popcorn chicken. The fried rice was packed with flavor and had a little bit of everything. The yakisoba was delicious, the ramen was comforting, and the Korean popcorn chicken was perfectly crispy with a nice little kick. It also came with miso soup, salad, and rice, which was more than enough food. Nothing here is overcomplicated. It's just good food, good portions, and genuinely great service every time.
