An absolute gem here in Oceanside. From the food to the vibe, this place hits all the marks. I came by during the Friday rush of Memorial Day weekend, and even with the hustle and bustle, the moment you step inside, you're transported into a beautifully decorated, creative space that instantly puts you at ease. The staff was top-notch professional, friendly, and welcoming. From the hostess to the servers, everyone made the experience smooth and enjoyable. The Hawaiian-inspired menu was a highlight. I really enjoyed the poke bowl and the fries they were flavorful and satisfying. My berry smoothie was refreshing, and my wife loved her coffee. The layout of the hotel and the patio area is stunning open, stylish, and perfect for relaxing. All the photos I posted say it best this place doesn't just serve good food, it delivers a whole experience. Highly recommend! read more

This place is a chill restaurant at the bottom floor of a hotel. Having lived in the area my life, I never thought to come here until my friend visiting from out of town decided that we should go, and I'm glad she did! Very cozy and well decorated, the folks who work here are also very sweet and helpful. The environment was chatty and my friend and I had an espresso martini and I had one of their kombuchas, which were both solid. I got the fish tacos and my friend got the pork fries, and honestly I feel like the food was just okay. The portions were smaller than anticipated, the fish tacos and chips were both very dry. I didn't try my friend's food but she reported them being really good, so this is likely a one-off thing! Overall, would recommend for someone who is visiting Oceanside. read more

I'm not surprised to see this place closed. Years ago it was one of my favorites. At our last visit it was actually inedible, not good food at all. The service was also horrendous. We ended up leaving and walking across the street to eat elsewhere. read more

This has taken me a couple of days to think about because I wanted this to be a hit. We just finished watching Lilo & Stitch so what perfect way to follow up the movie, but a Hawaiian lunch that wasn't fast food. However, due to a few things, I think there's potential to improve. 1. The space - its awkwardly small. The bar takes half the space and I'm really unsure how they handle a busy Friday night. The Fin hotel had a lobby, the switchboard restaurant, and then a coffee shop. The restaurant has 3 tables, plus bar seating. 2. Entrance - no one greeted us. We didn't know where to go to get seated. One couple was eating at a table, and another pair of guys were at the bar. My partner eventually walked to the coffee shop to check where to get seated and someone came out to help us. 3. Seating arrangement - at first, my party of 3 was going to be seated in the corner, awkwardly next to the old couple who was already taking up the table snuggly right next to it. We asked if we can sit at the table by the window. A third chair was pulled up and I sat partly in the walkway space. 4. Brunch menu - great selection of food, but limited in vegetarian options. I was excited to see that tofu was an option for the Hawaiian plate. In fact, my whole party of 3 ordered the Hawaiian plate, but we each chose different proteins - tofu, Kahlua pork, and bulgogi beef. I eat tofu A LOT. I cook tofu A LOT. This tofu was WEAK and I was UNimpressed. It was literally cooked on a flat top with maybe a tsp of soy sauce? I couldn't taste it, if thats what made it brown (although it could've been oil). How could you serve 3 slabs of tofu with a touch of furikake and call it $23? It needed more flavor (like teriyaki) or it also could have been made crispy with some cornstarch and panko and turn it into tofu katsu. So much potential! I had a taste of the bulgogi and kahlua (i had hope for this spot), and they actually had flavor. The Hawaiian mac was the best part of my plate. The fried rice was fine; I added the hot sauce they provided. 5. Service - was OK at first, but he didn't ask any one of us if we wanted white rice or fried rice with our Hawaiian plates. For some reason, all three of us got the fried rice. We didn't think anything of it because maybe we misread the menu, but here comes the bill and a $2 extra charge times 3. I didn't say anything because we ate it all, but I warn you to double check the menu options. $25 each Hawaiian plate for us. read more

First time here for breakfast, and the main restaurant area was full. There was bar seating for 5, but not an actual table. So they seated us outside in the lobby next door, which was shared with the Fin Hotel. It was quiet. Service was pretty quick. Food was pretty good. We ordered the kalua pork fries (pretty good) and coconut shrimp (6 pieces) as appetizers. Coconut shrimp wasn't worth it though. You only get 6 pieces. The Island Breakfast was decent- can choose how you'd like your eggs. Spam was pretty salty. The Hawaiian plate with teriyaki was good. The mac salad was good and so was the teriyaki chicken (tender and not salty). The Loco Moco was good too. For the chicken and waffles, the chicken was good but the waffles were really sweet. Felt more like a dessert waffle rather than entreé. Parking was on the street. read more

Came here on a Saturday around 3:50pm- was happily surprised they still have happy hour on the weekends but it ends at 4pm! The server was nice and gave us the heads up to put in our orders asap to get the deal. We ordered the crispy dumplings, the kalua pork fries, and the switchboard burger. Everything was super tasty but the appetizers were my favorite. I think the burger was just okay- I wish there was a sauce on there that made it tastier. The dumplings and fries though were soo good! It wasn't busy at this time, the servers were really friendly, and service was quick too. I'd recommend coming during happy hour because the food is more reasonably priced. read more

Searched for a restaurant in Oceanside to have lunch with a friend driving from Torrance. I went by Yelp reviews and a bit nervous about picking a restaurant I never heard of without a recommendation. It didn't look like what I expected but was greeted by a sweet server who was expecting us, The menu lacked items that were on their Yelp page but it did have what I was most interested in. We started with the #BulgogLettuceWraps. It did not disappoint #KaluaPorkFries Amazing with #KimchiAioli #GarlicAioli #CrispyOnions and a perfectly #FriedEggs definitely one of the best #FrenchFriesFusion The only miss was the #HawaiianPlate We picked chicken as the protein but we did ask for it to be fried and it was a bit dry and overcooked. Good slices of breast meat though. The macaroni salad seemed on the healthier side - light on the mayo but not bad. For dessert we had #Turon aka #BananaLumpia. Having turon many times this was the BEST Very crispy because it wasn't wrapped like an egg roll and the banana filling was very delicious it didn't need a side of caramel sauce but I love caramel so nice addition. Accompanied with #AmericanoCoffee a perfect ending, It does have a coffee shop vibe with switchboard decor in honor of the women who worked at this historical site. Service was fast and our server made great recommendations and was a delight throughout our meal. read more

We swung by here sometime in February on our way from LA to SD. Kiddo was getting hangry and couldn't wait to get to SD to eat. Interesting spot, small and located inside a hotel. There's only a couple tables in the restaurant but they were open to seating us in the hotel lobby, which worked out better for kiddo to sit and eat. We ended up ordering Kalua Pork Fries, Hawaiian Plate with bulgogi. Everything was tasty! The bulgogi was a little salty and the fries were fried crispy well. Service was great, even for us being separate from the actual restaurant, the servers check on us often and tended to us. The bathroom in also located in the lobby. Glad we stopped here to try this random spot. read more

2 stars for effort. I am highly disappointed. This is definitely not the same quality of food as it was about a year ago. I already knew coming here that the previous owner and chef were gone. We ordered the loco moco and the Hawaiian plate. Both dishes were nothing special. I could probably go to a chain, fast-food Hawaiian place down the road and get the same quality of food. I had the kalua pork w/the Hawaiian plate-it was a bit salty for my taste and spicy! Not sure why they decided to do that. However, let's talk about the macaroni salad-this was not your traditional Mac salad except that it was cold. It was basically cheese Mac w/curdled cheese and no flavor. Just as a reviewer (below), said the same exact thing I was thinking-the minute I looked at the food, I could tell something was different. It was definitely the taste and quality. I agree, it is really sad that they can't or won't, keep up with the past quality and customer service of this place. Good luck, I won't be back. read more

Nice spot for Valentine's Day dinner! They had a dinner for two menu but we ordered a La carte. We ordered the bulgolgi lettuce wraps (delicious) to share and the salmon plate for my entree. The bourbon salmon was good, but medium rare was slightly too undercooked for my preference. Service was good even with a full house, and so was my cocktail, The Local Vibe! read more

I was excited to try Switchboard as it had such solid reviews. Unfortunately our experience was not the best and the issues pretty strange. Firstly, the service was quite unusual. Our server left several times in the middle of taking our order. Such a strange approach and she did it seemingly randomly. One person would order, then she'd leave for a few minutes or so and come back with not explanation. She also forgot drinks as a result, very strange approach to waiting on a table. The food was also not great. The spam musubi was extremely dry. Our burger and chicken sandwiches tasted like Salmon (I guess they were grilled on a spot that had recently had Salmom grilled on it)? The salmon was dry, and the burger was not cooked to any temperature. When the burger first arrived it actually came with no burger patty at all. Weird mistake. In summary, Their food was simply not well prepared and it felt like amateur hour. The menu is arguably more Korean than Hawaiian as well (which I guess is okay, just unexpected). Felt like amateur hour read more

Great location , staff are awesome food and service is great you will love the vibe there

Solid brunch place! Not very kid friendly (no high chairs) and not a lot of indoor seating, but service was great and food was good~ Loco moco was labeled Korean but not sure what was Korean about it? And the beef was super dry. But we loved the Kalua fries with the kimchi aioli and the chicken and waffles had a kick and was great! read more

The concept of the Switchboard is super cool, with the interior completely decked out with switchboard-like decorations. The service here was good and our server was super nice and gave us a rundown of the specials they had for that day. Unfortunately, I wasn't really impressed with the food. We ordered the edamame, which was $8 for a tiny portion. And I didn't really love the sauce and salt it was covered in. We also tried the Salmon Tartare, and again, I wasn't a fan. Maybe next time, I'll have to try one of the entree items, since a bunch looked good. Would definitely return for the service! read more

I was spending the day in the downtown Oceanside area and we decided to grab some lunch after going to a movie. After looking up places on Yelp I bookmarked The Switchboard since I was interested in eating some Hawaiian fare, just recently returning from the islands. Cute place attached to a hotel and coffee shop. Our server was friendly and attentive. The restaurant itself is cute but pretty small so they must seat people in the lobby area of the hotel during peak hours. Our table ordered the Hawaiian plate lunch meals with different proteins. Together we ordered the Kalua pork, the tofu and the bulgogi beef. The plates came with fried rice, mac salad and our selected protein. My bulgogi was very tasty although the portion sizes for the proteins were much smaller than what you get on the islands for the price. My daughter's tofu didn't have much seasoning on it and we all thought of many ways it could have been better prepared to give it more flavor. When the bill came they charged us an up charge for the fried rice when we did not request it or even given an option. I would have said something if I knew about this but I didn't find out about it until after we left the restaurant. My daughter treated us to lunch and unfortunately didn't say anything. I subtracted 1 star from my review because of this. Otherwise I do like supporting local businesses and enjoyed our lunch. read more

You know it's a good spot when you already plan on returning after finishing up your meal. I love Hawaiian food so expectations were already up going into this place and thank goodness The Switchboard didn't disappoint. I tried the Teriyaki Chicken, Korean Loco Moco and Spicy Seasoned Fries and all of them were very satisfying. The Teriyaki Chicken was very juicy, the sauce wasn't overly sweet and paired with the fried rice, it was very enjoyable. The Korean Loco Moco was quite the hearty dish that will leave your tastebuds with a warm pleasantry with every bite. The gochujang gravy is a nice twist and adds a subtle spice to the dish. This dish is more on the savory side but not overly savory where you're searching for water after every other bite. As for the fries, perfectly crisp and the spicy seasoning works very well with all the dipping sauces they provided. The service was great with friendliness and persistent check-ins from the waitress. The atmosphere is also inviting to either just sit back and enjoy a beverage from the bar or have a tasty dinner and drinks in a casual, yet classy environment. read more

I had some time between checking out of my hotel down the street and heading to the airport, so I came to The Switchboard for a working lunch one afternoon. It's smaller than I expected and connected to a coffee shop and hotel lobby, but I was able to grab a table and get settled in for a bit. It seemed there was one server manning the joint and although busy, he was good about checking in with me and getting my orders in. I started with a drink and after some consultation, decided on the burger with fries. This may be my fault for not asking questions but the burger was just a regular burger - no Hawaiian flair, which I was expecting so that was a bit of a let down. The burger was fine, the fries were top 10 I've ever had, and the drink was delicious. I'd certainly return and try some other items from their menu. read more

We came here recently for dinner after having positive experiences in the past. When we arrived, it should've been packed, since it was dinner time, but only 2 people were inside. By the time we left, we were the only people eating. Anywho, I ordered the Hawaiian plate lunch and my wife ordered the loco moco. The food was tepid, especially the fried rice. Not sure what's going on lately, but it has changed since last coming in. The staff was still very good, but the food has gone downhill. read more

I'm giving this place 2 stars because we've had great food and service here in the past--but unfortunately, that was not the case tonight. We made a reservation for Mother's Day dinner and mentioned it upon arrival. A polite gentleman asked us to wait while he checked. Shortly after, another staff member approached us with a noticeably rude attitude. He said they didn't have a table but could seat us in the "lounge," which is the hotel lobby facing the front desk . I politely reminded him we had a reservation, to which he replied, "Yeah, everyone else here did too," while motioning to the other diners. He then walked away toward the bar without making eye contact or offering an apology. He resumed making drinks and made no effort to accommodate us. It's disappointing to be treated this way as paying customers. We chose to leave and ended up having a wonderful dinner at Allmine instead. read more

All you need is a good story sometimes! I was impressed reading about local Marine vet Kevin Shin and his plans for a city block of goodness. His businesses rank high on my list of favorite places in our foodie City of Oceanside. A hotel, coffee shop, art gallery restaurant (all reviewed individually). My first visit to one of his establishments was here at The Switchboard, a Hawaiian inspired restaurant. We have visited for lunch and dinner and were welcomed with the dogs. The lunch was bold, but breakfast even bolder with fabulous offerings made with SPAM to the best chicken and waffles I have ever eaten The drinks are tropical and pair with the food. Everything Kevin does he seems to do with heart and he will likely introduce himself when he can. Thanks for creating these wonderful spaces open to opportunity in O'side. Happy you are here! Aloha and thank you for your service! #TheSwitchboard #Oceanside #CoastHighway #ALittleAloha read more

Today it was very busy. Switchboard has very few tables within the restaurant itself. There is seating within the cafe, in the restaurant, and in the hotel lobby. There is a bar and bar seating right as you enter. We were attended to immediately at the start. Initially, we got a seat at the cafe, but after that, we moved to the main restaurant once someone left. We ordered our drinks - greygoose cranberry for the hubby and a cappuccino for me. Hubby's came pretty quickly within 10 minutes. Mine took way longer. Trying to look for someone to let them know that my drink hasn't come was very trying. Each time someone walked past, my hubby tried to wave then down but was ignored. By the time we finally got the attention of someone, my cappuccino finally came. That said, cappuccino was pretty good. Strong coffee and delicious. Hubby's greygoose cranberry was weak for the first drink and over strong for the second drink. It was inconsistent. I ordered spicy pork kogi Hawaiian plate. And my hubby had bulgogi beef Hawaiian plate. My spicy pork kogi had very little pork. It had like 4 pieces of pork total. It was seasoned well but it was overcooked and dry. It came with Mac salad and I thought that was just ok. My hubby's beef bulgogi was just ok. The way it was seasoned- it had a very strong taste of ginger. It was overpowering for him. It was ok for me. Beef was cooked better than the pork it was juicy. He added eggs over easy and those were good. I also had an espresso martini. And that was really good. Coffee and alcohol was a good balance. When we tried to pay, it took awhile to try and wave someone down as well. Overall, it had very slow service. Food was not fantastic but has potential. Would I come back? Yes, for drinks and maybe other food. The other patrons who did not order the Hawaiian plates look like they had decent portions. I'll give it one more try. Hope it gets better. Maybe I just ordered something that is not their specialty. read more

We received amazing service for a late dinner. With 3 kids in tow, the staff did a great job taking care of us. This place is pretty upscale and not the first place you'd choose to take your kids. So thank you kindly! I thought the food was A-OK. Beautiful presentation, but our dishes were just alright. For me I wouldn't bookmark as a place to come back to. What attracted us to the Switchboard were the Hawaiian dishes. For Masubi and BBQ Chicken Platter we'd be ok at L&L! read more

We've been exploring this side of Oceanside more and more and had a weekend afternoon of walking around and dropping in on bars for a drink and a bite to eat. This was our last stop of the afternoon and I was glad we finally made it here. I saw this place on Yelp and then we have passed by it many times making our way around other restaurants in the area. The place is cute inside and we were greeted immediately and sat down at the bar. I ordered a white tiger and my husband ordered a dirty dolphin (espresso martini). We loved both of these drinks. Then we decided to get some food: the banchan pickled vegetables (our favs were the pickled garlic and kimchi), spam musubi (amazing since I've only ever had this dish cold I thought I didn't like it but damn was it good) and the Kalua pork fries. All the food was so good. We finished off the afternoon with another round of drinks- I asked for something fruity with vodka and got a pineapple passion fruit mix from a previous cocktail menu- amazing. I loved it! And my husband ordered The Switchboard (a Knob Creek old fashioned). The ladies working the bar were great- attentive and kind with great suggestions. We will most definitely be back. read more

Well, you know what they say about the best laid plans. Despite making a plan to check out The Switchboard, and actually sticking to it, I still managed to mess up. Not that my experience was at all bad, obviously. It's just that if I had done the proper research, instead of deciding deciding purely based on convenience, this might have been even better! At the very least, I would've discovered how much they have to offer...which, to be honest, is far more than I expected! At a glance, if you walked in from the street, The Switchboard might look a lot like any other cute coffee shop out there. However, if you venture through the doorway on the side (or come in that way), you'll see they're actually a full restaurant/bar that's attached to The Fin hotel next door. The lounge area has a relaxed vibe with an interesting cocktail menu, but what really stands out is their Hawaiian inspired food menu. Whether you're coming in for brunch, dinner, or anything in between, they have so many enticing things to choose from! -- HILL STREET BREAKFAST SANDWICH - Scallion Omelet, Bacon, Cheddar, Kimchi Aioli, Hawaiian Bun with Free Week Drip Coffee...$8 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-switchboard-restaurant-and-bar-oceanside?select=BIPbxgGVUrrKVov3xYnvNA) Honestly, my picture didn't do this justice. The (King's Hawaiian?) bun was super soft and flavorful, but the omelet was what really impressed. It's simple, but so tasty with the melted cheese and the aioli. Another piece of bacon would've been great, but that applies to everything! -- SPAM MUSUBI - Nori Wrapped Spicy Pork and Meat and Sticky White Rice with Kimchi Aioli...$4 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-switchboard-restaurant-and-bar-oceanside?select=fuzNXt8lGFUATXKQNH0dRw) Maybe I'm too used to Bay Area prices, but this didn't seem bad for $4. Not to mention the fact that this was also really good! The rice was tender, the SPAM was decently thick and juicy, and I loved that it came with a side of kimchi aioli! While the food was certainly fantastic, the service here isn't far behind. The two workers working on the coffee side were both super friendly and more than happy to help the two people ahead of me with their questions. What's more, after ordering the musubi and sandwich, I also asked for a house coffee...without realizing that the sandwich already includes one. They easily could've tacked on another one and made a few extra bucks, and it would've been my fault for not paying attention, but the girl working the register made sure I didn't end up with two. Easy to say that she did the right/obvious thing, but it doesn't mean it's any less appreciated! As much as I enjoyed my breakfast (and the coffee, which was quite delicious), I can't help but wonder how much better it could've been. Had I known they had so many intriguing dishes to offer, I definitely would've planned to snag a seat outside to eat instead of just grabbing food to go. I mean, if their SPAM musubi and breakfast sandwich were this good, I can only wonder how good the likes of their Korean Loco Moco, Korean Fried Chicken & Waffles, Kahlua Pork Fries, and K-Pop Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich might be. I guess I just have that much more of a compelling reason to come back to Oceanside...and The Switchboard! read more

I loved my experience here! Service was great and the food and drinks were fantastic! I love that it's veteran owned and that it is in a historic building that during World War II was commandeered as a communication center in support of the war effort. It's chicly decorated with old switch boards all around and its name is inspired by the women that worked in this significant building. Love that! We were greeted right away and sat right away. Service was top notch the whole time. Our food arrived quickly and was fresh. I will always order a spam musubi if it's on the menu and theirs did not disappoint. The Gochujang syrup on the chicken and waffles was to die for and the kimchi Bloody Mary was so unique and delish! Everything was great!

Nice little restaurant with a small bar, attached to a boutique hotel. I came here for an afternoon happy hour and for breakfast while I was on a work trip. The bartenders during happy hour were super fun and pleasant, great conversation and great deals on food and appetizers. The food was quite tasty! One thing that could be better is that the food preparation during breakfast was a bit slow, perhaps the kitchen might have been a little behind on prep during opening that day or something.
