Place was clean and quiet. The staff is nice and can help you with the specials.. just ask. My food was very fresh and tasty.. no fishy taste. I liked it but I would like the option of mango or pineapple. The ambiance is nice but a little too quiet for me. The parking is plenty and you don't have to park in the street. I would like to come back for lunch. read more

Stopped in Oceanside on our way to San Diego. Found this place hopping with customers. Constant stream of patrons, mostly there for take out. And the seats were pretty much full. We had Ramen. Shoyu and Miso Ramen. Miso did not taste like "miso" but passable. Toppings on both were generous. Would stop again the next time we are heading to SDG. read more

Great food; awesome staff. Shoyu Ramen with chicken, beef and teriyaki bowl and shrimp roll. Definitely going back for more.

Fish lovers roll was pretty good-- yellow tail, albacore, salmon, fish eggs , eel. Didn't seem like a good quantity of fish. The Oceanside roll with tempura was much better. Udon noodle tempura and vegetarian were good. Tempura light and tasty. My son enjoyed the chicken Katsu with curry...... Service quick. Ambiance clean. Busy.... read more

Went for first time this week. Very good customer service, good amount of seating inside & outside. Tempura good & would order the chicken teriyaki bowl again in a heartbeat. Sticky rice amazing. Definitely will try a lunch special soon! read more

Sunshine Kitchen is great. Always a go-to for lunch/dinner. The deep fried Cali rolls are great. Staff is nice, but the customers that frequent are often a bit rude. read more

I ordered today a pork dish not happy all your food is very good but this was disgusting it was pork katsu not good just saying maybe someone else likes it I didn't I will keep ordering stuff from you but not that no read more

My family and I absolutely love this place, but every time we have been going lately, the portions have been getting smaller and smaller, and the prices have been going up and up! They even charge extra for soy sauce! (Apparently, more than two packets of soy sauce is considered extra even when you have multiple sushi rolls, Poké bowls, etc.) Pretty bummed out with them! read more

Sunshine Kitchen - Used to be $13 and double the size now $18 - Ramen Near Me - Oceanside, California

This is a no frills family owned restaurant located off the 5. They're across Oside high in the Walmart/Wendys shopping plaza. We started going here pre-pandemic and I'm so glad they're still around. Everything here is GOOD! The best part is they have such an extensive menu that you could fill any craving. Food. * Vegan ramen. Their vegan ramen is some of the best I've had. Even my kids love it! * Edamame. The portions for edamame is generous (especially since other places charge the same price for smaller bowls). * Karaage. You could get 3 pieces or 5 pieces. But if you get 5 pieces you might as well pay $1 more and get the karaage lunch special! It includes rice and salad. * Sunshine fries. This is a family favorite. Our kids love the sauce, fries, and the adults eat the chicken. The sauce really makes this side dish amazing! * Bake salmon roll. My favorite roll here yet. If you like salmon, you have to try this at least once. Restrooms. * Gender neutral * Sinks are outside the restrooms Service. Is great! We've had to make modifications to some items when we order and they haven't skipped a beat. They get it right every time! You can score a pretty good deal with their lunch specials! You can even order them after lunch for just + $1 more. read more

I do recommend them, great food, always fresh food, a clean place and fast service and seem to be a family business. Except for the octopus and calamari, it taste like the supermarket frozen/defrosted ones. read more

There's plenty of indoor space and parking for this spot. They also have some outdoor patio space. It gives you an open air vibe with simple decorations. You order at the front and pay before receiving your food which I would say is pretty good! The servers are nice and helpful. We'd go back again to try other stuff. :) read more

Best ramen we've ever had ! So good, definitely will be stopping by next time we're on our way to SD again

Conveniently located off the Interstate which gave us a break from being in traffic. Sunshine Kitchen is located on the opposite end of Wal Mart Neighborhood Market next door to a taco shop and Pho place. Huge outdoor patio with heaters. It's a Japanese restaurant serving curries, rice bowls, plates, rolls, poke, fried rice, ramen, yakisoba/udon, hot soba/udon, salads and sides. We ordered: -spicy garlic edamame: Great garlicky sauce -Takoyaki: The least fav of all, it was a giant ball that had too much wheat flour that we just plucked out the tiny bit of octopus -chicken karaage curry over steamed rice: We asked for a higher spice level and it had all the right spice and curriness. -Oceanside roll: OMG this roll is so good. Fresh thin slices of avocado and soft shell crab. Inside had more crab and shrimp tempura. -Dinner plate #2 (chicken teriyaki over fried rice, 2 gyoza, mix tempura, Japanese potato salad, and green salad): Had a mix of everything. My fav was the Oceanside roll with the soft shell crab and avocado topping. The dinner plate was huge but I'm not a fan of the teriyaki sauce. It was thicker than normal and overly sweet. I was surprised a small place that has their hands dipped in everything may not be as good but I was wrong. The service was wonderful. You order and pay first before you sit. Sunshine Kitchen is on our list to return if we need to dodge traffic again. 4.5 stars, bumping to a 5 read more

Food was great! Service was awsome, they area is nice and great. Had a great experience and well priced!

Found this unassuming Japanese restaurant after a performance at the high school across the street. Ordered at the counter where the service was very friendly. We ordered a LOT....gyoza, edamame, chicken karaage, tempura, ramen, sushi rolls, pork katsu curry, chicken teriyaki, yellowfin kama, pork fried rice, sake. It ALL HIT THE SPOT. Delicious. Nothing fancy, just well executed. So glad to find this restaurant! read more

Very nice sushi spot inside a strip mall. There are a few eateries and n this strip mall and we chose Sunshine Kitchen. It did not disappoint at all. Great quality food , if you're a local in Oceanside and you're looking for some Japanese cuisine I'd say give this place a try. read more

Locally owned, comfortable diner-like atmosphere, and consistently good. Service is friendly and adept. Katsu and tempura are spot on. Most all of the rolls contain Krab, which is too bad. But, you can ask them to leave it out. Nothing fancy here, but a reliable spot. read more

I've ordered takeout from Sunshine Kitchen before when in the area. A similar menu to Teri Cafe but prices have gone up a bit since my last visit. I ordered their chicken & beef bowl plus spicy tuna handroll & it was over $20. The chicken was dry & beef stringy. Spicy tuna handroll made up for it , being really good. Maybe I should stick to their sushi. We've had their entrees before & enjoyed the food. So I'll continue to order from here & update my review if warranted. This visit had slow service & the chicken & beef bowl was just okay. Maybe just an off day. read more

Really good variety of ramen and sushi. You can get sake or a beer here. The staff is really friendly. Kind of has a casual hole in wall feel, but it's clean. I like it. read more

Sunshine Kitchen - Champion ramen - Ramen Near Me - Oceanside, California

I ordered 5 of their $12.00 lunch specials . Ample Amounts and Yummy . I'd suggest including soy sauce packets and more Poisen sauce

Walked into Sunshine Kitchen hoping for tuna that whispers secrets, rice that hums jazz, maybe a sliver of uni that rewires your brainstem. What I got? Not quite. This place isn't exactly chasing Michelin stars--it's writing love letters to Japanese mall food under fluorescent lights. Don't let the Yelp hype fool you. This isn't that. It's a bento box done with surprising discipline. The ramen? Legit. Broth's got backbone. Noodles got spring. The sushi? Tight. Clean. No frills, no drama. You want toro that dissolves like a bad memory? Look elsewhere. You want a spicy tuna roll and miso that won't betray you during a Tuesday lunch spiral? You're in the right place. It's more Sushi Stop than Nobu, and proudly so. Think microwave meets mirin, but handled by someone who gives a damn. Teriyaki bowls, poke, spam musubi--it's fast food, but not lazy. Competence is the theme. Execution over ambition. Three stars if you're hungover. Four if you're feeling generous. Not a fever dream. Not a destination. But it's honest, and I think that counts for alot. read more

My husband and I love eating their food - it not only delicious but cheaper than Teri Cafe which is about $4 more. They have about the same menu and both have a similar taste. However Teri Cafe gives big plates to create an illusion that they are serving you more food pound by pound. I recommend this place over them any day! The have made mistakes on our order but they did not hesitate to fix it to make up for it. read more

Was looking for a simple sushi spot for a very early lunch snack and since they open at 1030, we ended up here. Korean owned Japanese food. Plenty of free parking in their lot. Decor is very cute. There is an artificial grass wall in the outside patio. Outside dining available, perfect if you have pets. You order at the counter, pay, they give you a number and bring you your food. If you need anything else, you have to walk up to the counter to ask. There are no utensils, water refills or anything accessible. You have to go and ask for anything extra that is needed. Staff is ok. Restrooms are located in the back. Sinks are communal outside of the restrooms. Food came out very quickly. They have many options on their menu, including ramen, poke, yakisoba, sushi, salads etc. So great options if you have a large group with multiple craves. The sushi was good. Felt a bit queasy as I was driving off but luckily the feeling went away. Overall great inexpensive spot. read more

Fresh food, fast service. They pay attention to detail. Good selection of sushi, poke, ramen, yakisoba, teriyaki. Something for everyone. Has a Hawaiian theme with the potato salad on the plate (pretty good tasting) Reasonably priced with most bowls and plates under $15. The atmosphere is very chill with ambient music playing in the background. read more

This place is pretty decent. Came here for lunch with some friends during work. Walk right up to the counter and ordered our food. It's a Japanese restaurant with a lot of Japanese items to choose from. We ordered the chicken karaage, house fried rice, Philadelphia hand roll and the sunshine ramen. The chicken karaage was pretty good but it isn't not karrage. Yes it was lightly batter and fried but not at all karaage. The batter had too much pepper but the chicken was good quality thigh meat. The Philadelphia hand roll was also good, great quality salmon. The house fried rice was decent nothing special. And the sun shin ramen lacked umami. No tonkotsu flavor, kind of over powered by pepper. The service was good and the restaurant had a welcoming vibe to it. I'd like to try other items on the menu but the food was really just a bit better than good. Nothing special. read more

Needed some ramen and found this spot near our spot nearby, I ordered the Sunshine Ramen, it was decent, not used to a pork tonkatsu on top but it was okay. My favorite was the calamari tempura!. My daughter ordered the soba noodle soup with tempura and she said the seaweed made the broth too salty for her. The staff was friendly but they don't really offer much or follow up. Place was clean and well maintained. read more
