    La Postal - Fried rice mixto

    First off this place is super cute and the food presentation is just like the pictures on the menu,…read morebeautiful! For the most part the food was delicious with some exceptions. What was on point was 5 stars but what was off was off. The fried rice was delicious, a work of art! I had the mixto with chicken, beef, and shrimp, they were all delicious. The rice was topped with the crab like filling you would get in a California roll and some stringed beets and carrots. One ingredient that was a bit odd was the cream cheese. The not good was the ceviche roll had an overall bitter taste that was doable with enough sauce but the roll was very wet making the rice soggy. I would not recommend this roll. Also the udon was cooked well with yummy tempura but the broth was just plain weird. The location, view, and service were all great but the bottom line is the flavor, sometimes they nailed it and other times, not so much.

    Food is amazing. Unfortunately, they aren't the best place to go when they open. They open at…read moreexactly 11:30 but when we showed they said they weren't ready and need at least an hour to set up. An hour after opening is ridiculous. 2 stars may be low but as someone that works in a restaurant this is ridiculous. Like I said at the start, the food is great. But they need to be more prepared, they should be ready right at opening time!

    Overall, the experience was great and I will be coming back! LOVED THE SUPER SALMON. Absolutely…read moredelicious and will get again. The miso soup was some of the best soup I have ever had!!! The salad dressing was pretty disgusting. I'm not sure if it was "bad" or something but it had a very rancid taste and smell. I even had my sister and mom try it and they said something was off. The salad was actually the whole reason I tried the place so I was a little disappointed. I wish I could have tried the great salad I read so many news about but I will probably not take a chance again. Will be back for the sushi though. Just maybe don't get their salad.

    The food was excellent, but unfortunately the service was very disappointing…read more We visited on a Saturday night, and the restaurant was not busy at all. There appeared to be four servers on the floor, yet most of the time they were standing around while only one seemed to be actively attending tables. After being seated, we waited approximately 10 minutes before anyone offered us water. Fortunately, we received menus right away, which allowed us to place our food order at the same time our server finally came to take our drink order. Throughout the meal, our server was largely absent. To make matters worse, the main dish I specifically came to order was forgotten. When I reminded our server, she assured me it would be out shortly. Fifteen minutes later, after my wife and I had already finished our roll, I asked to cancel the missing dish. Once again, I was told it was almost ready. The item I ordered should not have taken nearly an hour to prepare, and it became clear that the order had been forgotten entirely. What made the experience even more frustrating was that the restaurant remained slow the entire evening, with several servers standing around and no obvious reason for the long waits for drinks and service. The food itself was great, but the poor service significantly detracted from the overall experience. Very disappointing.

    Double-edged sword: Decent rolls, but the cleanliness needs a major upgrade…read more ​I really wanted to give this place a chance, but the environment made it hard to fully enjoy the meal or even go in. I almost turned around. ​The Food: 3/5 To be fair, the sushi itself is okay. It's not top-tier, blow-your-mind gourmet, but the fish tasted fresh enough, and the rolls were decent for a casual sushi fix. If you're just looking for standard, passable sushi, it does the job. ​The Ambiance & Cleanliness: 1/5 This is where things took a nosedive. The entire restaurant felt incredibly dirty and unkempt. The tables were sticky, the floors looked like they hadn't seen a proper mop in a while, and the overall surrounding area just felt dusty, neglected, and abandoned. It's really hard to relax and enjoy raw fish when you're constantly looking around wondering when the place was last deep-cleaned. ​The Verdict: The kitchen staff seems to be doing their part, but the front of house/management really needs to step up their sanitation game. Until they give the place a serious scrub-down, I'll probably be looking elsewhere for my sushi cravings. Questionable if I ever return. Would recommend if u absolutely must have some kind of sushi. Note: No AYCE price and no half rolls.

    Been here server times and always go with our friends who go there all the time…read more Waiters are nice and service is great. I wonder sometimes if they're nicer cause they know our friends lol. The food is yummy, executed well. We like so many of their sushi rolls! It may be small but they put out good food! Smaller, to me, is very often better.

    A good little Sushi/Ramen hidden gem in Chula Vista. Heard a lot about this place so I finally came…read more& yes I'm a fan. First let me start with the customer service, it was great, from the door to getting seated to the waiters checking on us & the cooks smiling & the speed & quality of the service was all great. And the prices are very reasonable, they don't open till 5 tho, for dinner basically, weekends can get busy so get there early. The food was very good, I got the Chula Vita Ramen & I'd get it again, very filling & flavorful. The sushi was very fresh & good & filling as well, Abre La Boca Mucho was our fav roll, it can be shared with another person for sure, Viva Chula Vista was a good roll too. Miso soup was ok & no garlic edamame they have lemon butter edamame, if you like lemon & butter flavor you'll like it, it was ok but it lack a bit of flavor for me. My fav item here was the Jalapeño Popper as an appetizer, 8 pieces & man let me tell you, it was mouth watering & on point, it's a must to start with. Overall I good little spot & we come again for sure, keep up the good work Naruto & see you soon :)
