All Ono and all freshly made with perfect quality ingredients. Also got Hawaiian Sun POG and Passion Orange cans. My favorite was the Bachan's Shrimp, with crispy shrimp sauced with the Bachan Japanese BBQ sauce. Perfect!!! Second favorite was the Dawn Patrol which had many layers of flavor, including bacon and very filling. The Classic was also good and tasty. Definitely a return visit call for me. Just need some planning and a hungry spirit to fall in love with The Musubi Love!!! read more

My boyfriend was soooo excited to check out this place and has definitely become a new favorite of ours. We placed our order and it took about an hour before we could pick it up. Each set is around $9 so we got a good amount of food for the price in my opinion. His favorite was the Spam Katsu and mine was the Bachan's Shrimp. The shrimp one was great and perfect is you want Musubi but might not be the biggest fan or spam like myself. I liked the tropical heat as well. The pineapple added a nice sweetness. We'll definitely be back! We're dying to try the Dawn Patrol one but it sells out quick! read more

So excited to find this delicious musubi spot after becoming obsessed with it in Hawaii! This is easily the best I've found in San Diego since coming back, and I'll definitely be returning to try more of their specials. I went with the classic this time, it's generously sized, super filling, and easily a full meal. Be sure to place your order early, especially on weekends, as pickup times can be a few hours out. That said, once your time comes, pickup is quick and seamless. read more

Good grub Superb little takeout spot tucked away in quiet Encinitas, This Musubi Love is making some noise with some seriously good omusubi! I picked up an order of the Katsu Spam and Bachan's Chicken. The Katsu Spam was excellently fried, perfectly crispy, and the saltiness was balanced by a sticky, sweet soy sauce on a bed of sushi rice. The Bachan's chicken came with crunchy pieces of fried chicken glazed with a sweet sauce and spicy mayo on a bed of sushi rice. Really great spot, finding the entrance was a bit tricky (maybe getting a bigger sign could help), but one phone call and they helped me find them no problem. read more

Can't get enough of these! Katsu spam is my favorite but you can't go wrong with spam and cheese. Definitely try out the bachan's chicken and shrimp if you have a friend to share with. It's super easy to order online but up you have to order before the lunch or dinner window opens to pick up at the right time. Support local! read more

I had been wanting to try this place since I heard about it, and I was not disappointed. They had a bunch of different types of musubi to choose from. I ordered a tempura shrimp, katsu style spam, and regular spam with avocado. All were super delicious and it took less than ten minutes from the time I ordered online, to someone bringing my food out to my car. Musubi is the ultimate comfort food. I'll definitely order from here anytime I'm in Leucadia. read more

Lived on Big Island for 10 years, now in Oregon. We were in the San Diego area for vacation and went looking for an island flair. I'm happy that we found This Musubi Love! The menu is small but everything we ordered was so good. Ordered online and couldn't find the driveway because it was dark with no street lights but called them with no problem and they were very happy to help. I wouldn't hesitate ordering again and have already recommended them to friends. read more

Such a hidden gem! I was a little confused when I first arrived since it looked like I was pulling up to an apartment building, but a quick call to them cleared everything up. They were super friendly and gave clear directions--just head to the side of the building and call when you get there. They'll bring your order right out. I ordered the katsu spam and edamame beans, and wow--I seriously regret not ordering more! The katsu spam was crispy, flavorful, and addictive. I could've easily eaten a few more. Can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu! read more

Best Musubi! I lived on Kauai for over 10 years before moving back home and have searched for the same flavor that I loved. Found it! Do not hesitate to try this amazing food! 5 stars. read more

found This Musubi Love last July. We have tried the classic, Bachan's Shrimp, Bachan's Chicken, Dawn Patrol, Tropical Heat, and Cordon Blue and omggggg all sooo fire!!!

Yum, yum, and yum. If you've never had Musubi, this is a great place to try. You definitely need to give them a call. Great item to grab and drive down the street to enjoy at the beach. read more

This probably has to be one of the coolest spots around. If you can live around this area then do so...not a care in the world. IYKYK!! The food was LEGIT! (Pictures to follow) My only regret was we didn't order more. When I called to make sure I was in the right spot, to picking up my order the guys were top notch! When you go and when you arrive at an apartment complex, don't be fooled...you have arrived! Go check this place out and support local (I came from Murrieta) so they can expand!! Until next time!! read more

Lucky to have found this hidden gem on Yelp about 6 months ago and have been coming ever since. My daughter and I love this place! The spam musubi is soooo good...flavor is spot on! We've had spam musubi at a few other places in the area, and this place is the best, hands down. Also love the mac salad. Prices are very reasonable too! read more

Omg... what a GEM this new spot is! This Musubi Love is a take-out only spot located in someone's very own (restaurant certified) home kitchen right near downtown Leucadia. We ordered the tropical musubis and the chicken musubis, along with a side of Mac salad. Everything tasted... well, home-made!! Excellent flavors, very reasonable price points, and short wait time for pick-up. Can't wait to try literally everything else on the menu!! read more

This is the best musubi I have ever had and let me tell you why. The portion is large, no skimping here. I pushed eating 3 because I had to try the Bachan's Chicken, Katsu Spam, and Tropical Heat in one sitting. 2 is plenty for normal people lol. The chicken had an awesome crunch to it, katsu has a great crispy layer, and the tropical (which was my favorite) had a great juicy pineapple component to it. The jalapeño is not hot so don't worry. Got the Mac which tasted great and of course edamame just cause. You literally pick it up from his house so follow the video and directions on the instagram. I will be ordering often! Foodies this is a must if your in north county. read more

Solid musubi rolls from a solid dude. We got the classic, shrimp, and chicken katsu. Great flavor and rice was spot on. Spicy mayo was spicy enough but not overpowering. He even gave my dog some leftovers that gobbled up once we were home. Easy ordering process but make sure to follow the pick up directions on the website. Will be ordering again soon! read more

Roger is the man! Food is delicious and hits the spot every time. Will be back. again.

Best musubi i have ever tried and portion is great as well. roger is super nice. The Bachan fried chicken musubi is so good. I will definitely come back and try more. Hidden gem in Leucadia!!! Highly recommended read more

This is not a restaurant, pop-up or food truck...this is a certified home business in a residential area. Owner Roger was awesome! Great service from the moment he picked up the phone. We were in constant communication for pick up time. The musubis smelled soooo good that it made the long Friday drive up to OC difficult...was so tempted to pull over to snag some from my suv trunk. Despite sitting in the car for almost 2 hours the musubis were delicious. Very generous portions, good spam to rice to furikake ratio. Classic is always a solid safe choice. The katsu spam was a good play for added texture but not much different in flavor from classic so I'd stick with Classic between the two. Vegan was surprisingly flavorful. Bachan's chicken was a big hit all around but everyone's absolute favorite was the Dawn Patrol. That would make a great breakfast dish any day, any time! Roger if you read this my son has a suggestion: spam, egg & hash brown ;) and good luck with the business! read more

If this place ever receives under a 5 star rating it's 100% because they are just a huge hater. Such a nice guy who services you like family. Literally no where and I mean no where even comes close to this place. Brings me back to living in Kauai and smacking these almost daily! The OG and trop heat are unreal, katsu is goood too but nothing beats an OG Musubi! read more

I had high expectations for the musubi based on Instagram reviews and this place blew those expectations out of the water. Incredible musubi!!!! We tried the Island heat, original, vegan and chicken. They were all perfectly seasoned, had incredible flavor and were the best musubi we've had, even better than what we've had in Hawaii. Keep up the good work, this is amazing food! read more

Friendly reminder this is not a restaurant or food truck. It is certified out of a home and this gentleman just opened. WHEN I TELL YOU this musubi is amazing I MEAN IT! The Banchan chicken and the Dawn patrol are so delicious!! He's becoming very popular so please be a little patient and it's so worth it! Our family can't wait to come back and support! read more
