Menu and stamped wasabi
Jan H.

I went here on a Sunday after attending another event in the area. We went around 2:00 so it was not very busy at all. We were seated pretty promptly, and our server was extremely cheerful and helpful. We decided to order three rolls to share. We ordered the Kimmy, The Majestic, and the blossom. My favorite hands down was The Majestic, it had real crab inside which I appreciate, and a really good flavor. The blossom had fried onions on top come off Which was different but not bad Period the sauce on top was a little much at times but still good. The Kimmy was good but my least favorite of all. It had a kind of smoky flavor to the salmon which just didn't fit in my opinion. During our dining experience, we also asked for extra ginger, and they brought us a huge serving which was much appreciated. I definitely think this is a place you should check out, if you like sushi. The prices were about average of a good sushi spot, and the rolls were really fresh. The size of the rolls were really good as well, I noticed a lot of places I've been to recently the roles have been pretty small. I love that they have a separate section for real crab rolls, because so many places are using imitation now. There were definitely some interesting options and flavor combinations, like they had a roll with wagyu. I plan to go back and try some of the roles I haven't had, and probably also get the Majestic again.

RB Sushi off the I-15 is always a great spot because it is clean, plenty of menu variety, and perfect for groups with their long tables. Tried a new coconut shrimp dish recently added to the menu. It tasted okay, but the presentation was gorgeous. Love the little touches, like the orchid I always put in my hair. Service was friendly, maybe not as attentive as before, but still solid. Always a place I'll come back to!

Philadelphia Roll

Came here with my family for the first time after receiving a 20% off coupon by mail (eating out is getting so expensive!) We love sushi and trying new places. I had never even seen this restaurant and driven by this area hundreds of times. It is tucked away in a strip mall but upon entering it is a large restaurant with both booths and tables (I love a booth). And there is in fact a HUGE fan in the middle of the restaurant which makes for fun ambiance and kept us cool. Our server greeted us quickly and was very sweet and attentive. We ordered two orders of edamame (garlic and regular) and the calamari to start. Sadly the calamari rings were very tough (deeply breaded) and hard to eat, wouldn't order again. The sushi was a bit pricey for what we are used to but we ordered our usual rolls, Rainbow, Tempura, Spicy Tuna, Philadelphia and tried a few ones. All of the rolls were good and nicely sized. The Lemon roll was really good. We had leftovers and took about 10 rolls with us to go. There were no issues with using our coupon which was very nice. But the bill was still pricey (rolls range from $17-$25). Overall just good and I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come here again. Great service though and I did like the little cordless lamps on each table :)

Unagi nigiri

This is the sushi place with the huge ceiling fan, I call it. Besides that, their actual menu and food are both creative and tasty. A couple highlights are their seasonal and their gluten free column on the menu which comes with gluten free soy and eel sauces if preferred. We ordered about four cut rolls a special, one nigiri plate and some hot sake. Our server was training that evening so service was a little slower but overall friendly and accommodating. Lastly, the quieter weekday crowd was small making it a nice place for conversation.

Came here last night with a group of people. The service was great and all the appetizers/salads and sushi rolls arrived fairly quickly and we're delicious. Good sized portions of sushi rolls, also the chicken and shrimp fried rice was delicious! Not a huge restaurant but a good size spot in RB. Also the prices for drinks were very reasonable and low for a sushi restaurant. Pictured is the One Punch Roll ($16) which is one of their many specialty rolls.

Bomb!!! RB Sushi remains top spot on my list. Always satisfying. If you're around come through!

I ordered through Postmates for pickup, and the app clearly listed spicy mayo as a free add-on. When I arrived to pick up my order, I was told it would actually cost an additional $0.50. I showed the employee that the app indicated it was included at no charge, but I was told they couldn't honor it. He said he even called the owner, who also refused to make an exception. This review isn't about the $0.50. It's about how the situation was handled. If a business's own ordering platform displays something incorrectly, the customer shouldn't be expected to pay for that mistake. Instead of resolving a simple issue, the response was essentially, "too bad." For the sake of fifty cents' worth of spicy mayo, they lost a customer. Good customer service means taking ownership of problems, even when they're small. Unfortunately, that wasn't the experience I had, and I won't be returning.

Lunch special included all my faves: spicy tuna roll and Chef's choice nigiri (4 pcs)

We tried RB Sushi in Rancho Bernardo for the first time, and I can confidently say I was very pleased. The food was delicious, but what truly stood out was the exceptional service. Lana was incredibly polite and attentive. She even knelt down to our level as we were seated to take our order. She offered great recommendations and she did everything with a warm smile. Her enthusiasm made us feel like valued customers, and it really elevated the entire dining experience.

Love RB Sushi! We usually order their sushi platters and they never disappoint. Ordering online is super easy, and while we often do pick-up when we're town, I'll definitely try delivery next time for convenience. The rolls are always fresh, beautifully presented, and a big hit with family and friends.

I love to come here with my brother when I'm in San Diego - we usually order to go, though we have eaten in, and had lovely service. They are personable and efficient, and the sushi is great! We tend to get rolls vs. nigiri, and the flavor and freshness is outstanding, and they've never gotten a to go order incorrect. Looking forward to seeing my brother and RB Sushi soon! Check out the fan - "Big A** Fan Co." apparently - it tracks!

Sophia C.

The service was wonderful and the rolls were quick to come out. The speciality rolls were good but one was over powered by lemon and wasn't quite enjoyable, even the fish didn't taste as fresh as we would've liked. It was busy but we never felt forgotten. The sushi was okay compared to other spots in San Diego but got a delicious mochi dessert for a birthday celebration.

Shrimp Sautee roll
Jazel Q.

I often frequent this place on my lunch break by myself and I had to shoutout this time because the roll that I had was absolutely delicious. It was on the chef special menu and truly one of the best rolls I've had in a long time. Shrimp Sautee roll!! Get it while you can! The service is always great and here and they're all very kind!

Chiashi

4.5+stars and a pleasant surprise! Located in a narrow retail strip along Bernardo Center Drive just east of the 15. This place didn't look like much from the outside, but once you enter, the space is roomy and inviting. I had the pork katsu lunch special, and my wife and her mom each had the chirashi bowl. All well prepared/presented, very generous portions, and wonderful service. They also had the largest ceiling fan I've ever seen in an eatery.

Ask the Community - RB Sushi

Are they going to bring back all you can eat?

No. The food was so bad.

Wat is the all you can eat prices for 2022?

Don't think they do all you can eat anymore.

How much is the all you can eat?

I did hear they don't do that anymore, shame, but it was only for one person at a time and you had to eat there, but alas no more.

So, is all you can eat back or not?

No, they do not have all you can eat.

Is the all you can eat available still?

No Considering they are closed due to a rat infestation the health department shut them down

When is happy hour?

Happy hour is all day long, Monday through Friday. Lunch specials including sushi combos, rice plates & the lunch price for all you can eat ($24) are available every single day of the week from 11:30AM to 3PM as long as you're seated before 3PM.… 

Super random question, but this has been bugging me for some time now haha. What does the "RB" in RB Sushi stand for? I always thought it alluded to the Rancho Bernardo location, but was told that's not the case. Anyone know?

RB Sushi does stand for Rancho Bernardo as that is where the first location originated.

Super small and intimate service, never felt rushed and very attentive staff. Extensive sake list and more than the usual options for beer. Chef Maru recommended to take photos upside down to get a better angle and he's so right lol The nigiri was great and I loved how the menu switched from fresh snappy bites to buttery melt in your mouth pieces, never felt like the last piece was competing with the next. I loved that crab was used in multiple dishes, like the warm dish and soup. I wish the nigiri was bigger in general, on the smaller side compared to other spots. Tuna lovers will appreciate how many dishes had tuna. The warm dish (seabass w hairy crab sauce) was one of my favorites, the hairy crab sauce consistency reminded me of banh canh cua.

My first impression of the restaurant was, it was beautiful restaurant with a counter that seats 14. First off, Chef Maru and his entire staff was absolutely fantastic and professional. They were all attentive on refilling water and tea. Chef Maru himself was absolutely awesome, he explained each course that was served. Which was the right way to do it. Omakase: Omakase 20 pieces at $180. It's a great price, but in my head there had to be a catch to it. The starter and appetizer started out strong. Everything (fish) were all fresh, so when the nigiri course started that's when everything went south. The nigiri that chef served was really small and it's not your standard size nigiri .There's barley any shari ( sushi rice) and fish. If felt like I was sampling each nigiri. You can't really enjoy it when it's that small.The only highlight was the Uni from San Diego. That felt like a month full, other than that everything just felt like a tease. Don't let my photos fool you, it was all zoomed in. My wife and I had many omakase before and lelf happy and satisfied. This was the first time that we ever left after an omakase meal and was still hungry and a little disappointed. I would love to give Sushi Maru more stars but I just can't after this vist.

I've ordered the Omakase each time and while I still love the atmosphere and the energy from Chef Soichi and the staff, I do have to say that this last go round was not quite as good as the last two. This is meant to be opinionated criticism to help improve but I think the dishes could use more diversity and depth. Having done a fair share of omakase from places like Kinme and Matoi, I feel like this isn't that much more memorable or special and I'd hate for it to follow the same path Tadokoro did where they were absolutely my #1 choice and fell after they got their star (which they later lost). Still love that Chef Soichi continues his tradition of birthday serenades with his guitar and the place still has that mom and pop charm so I hope they continue to thrive!

We initially couldn't get a reservation, so we joined the waitlist and were thrilled to get a Friday afternoon call offering us an 8 PM opening. The sushi bar has only about 10 seats, making the entire experience feel incredibly personal. The fish is flown in daily from Japan, the menu changes every three months, and you get to interact with the chef as each course is prepared. There are two omakase options: $145 or $165 with additional nigiri. If you're worried about leaving a tasting menu hungry, get the nigiri. I lost count of the courses and was completely stuffed by the end! The highlight was getting to try fish I'd never even heard of and some genuinely creative flavor combinations. You do need to be an adventurous eater--think oysters and fried shrimp heads--so it may not be ideal for someone hesitant about seafood. But if you're willing to trust the chef, that's part of what makes it so fun. The entire experience lasted about 2 1/2 hours, and because the setting is so intimate, we even ended up chatting with the diners next to us. And the sweet potato ice cream at the end was absolutely divine. We left full, happy, and feeling like we'd been briefly transported back to our travels in Japan. Such a special experience.

There was no wait here but parking was a nightmare and there is almost no street parking right around the restaurant which is near the trolley tracks. I recalled coming here for a light dinner with my husband many years ago and thinking it was good, but expensive. I asked if they had Japanese soda for my daughter because it was not on the menu, and they said no, but after we came back from the bathroom the host had found one for us. They gave us chopstick helpers and were very nice. We ordered braised pork belly as an app and wagyu nigiri, albacore, hamachi, salmon belly, 2 salmons, and unagi. I think that was all. They nicely split the order so half had no wasabi for the kid. They were very considerate and I appreciated it. The food however took a while to come out. The braised pork belly was ok, but the fat had not rendered as well as at some other places so we ate around it. The flavor was good though. The hamachi was probably the best item-tender and tasty. The albacore was standard and a generous piece, but the salmon was a bit tough and my kid who usually inhales salmon tasted and then left the salmon. The wagyu had good flavor but was surprisingly chewy. For $26 I would expect it to melt in your mouth but it was not easy to bite through. The eel was very tender but had a weird taste, and was disappointing. I found myself chewing on a scale from maybe the salmon and was overall underwhelmed by the food. The bill for a soda and the sushi came to almost $150 after tax and tip for me and a 6-year old. Usually my husband and I and my kid go to places with better quality and pay the same price for the three of us. Will not be back.

We ordered the miso soup, spicy edamame, Den Miso pork belly skewers, tamarindo tuna ceviche, seabass serrano, crispy karikari tuna, and mochi ice cream for dessert. To drink, we had the Taiyo Margarita and the Clouds of Matcha cocktail. The spicy edamame was probably the only dish that fell a little short for us. It wasn't bad by any means, but we were hoping for more flavor. The absolute standout was the Den Miso pork belly skewers. My husband and I both took our first bite at the same time, looked at each other, and immediately said, "Oh!" We were genuinely surprised by how juicy, tender, and flavorful they were. There were only two skewers, but they packed so much flavor that we instantly wanted to order another plate. The tamarindo tuna ceviche was fresh, light, and refreshing. The taro chips added a nice crunch without overpowering the dish. The seabass serrano was enjoyable, though it wasn't a stand out for us. The crispy karikari tuna (spicy tuna over crispy rice) is one of my go-to orders whenever I visit a sushi restaurant, and this version was up to par. The only component I wasn't crazy about was the long, thin slice of avocado on top--I personally could have done without it, though my husband actually liked it, so that's just a matter of preference. We finished the meal with mochi ice cream, which was the perfect sweet ending. Overall, we had a great dining experience. Between the rooftop ambiance, attentive service, and several delicious dishes - especially those unforgettable pork belly skewers - we'd definitely come back and would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a great dinner spot in the Gaslamp.
