I really enjoyed the gyoza and the service was amazing and fast! I also got complementary edamame, and the miso soup was wonderful!

Bento was well worth the price. My wife enjoyed the tonkatsu entree. The miso Ramen was pretty tasty and good portion. Service was great! Will come back. read more

This is a very popular sushi restaurant, although none of the customers appeared to be Asian. Give that a little thought. There is some good food here and then there is some other stuff. The combo plates are very popular, likely because you get a ton of food with it. Some of it is good and then there is some other stuff. With the combo, you get salad, miso soup, rice, tempura shrimp and veggies, and your choice of either two or three menu items. The salad was mostly crunchy core. If you like the crunchy core of a salad, well, this one is for you. The miso soup was ok. The tempera shrimp and veggies were very nice. The spicy roll was mushy and not spicy. The crunchy roll was enormous and delicious. The chicken teriyaki was fine. I sampled the rainbow roll and it was good. We liked our server very much. She was busy but worked hard. Remember what I said: There is some good food here and then there is some other stuff. read more

I ordered Teriyaki chicken. And I got the smallest container I've ever seen with chicken and teriyaki sauce on a bed of cabbage? No rice, no gyoza and no salad like the order said. This cost me $11. . . read more

Yamariki Sushi is such a lovely place. I really enjoyed the decor. It is modern with a warm and inviting feel, and the overall atmosphere was calm and relaxing.

If you are looking for a peaceful sushi spot in Carlsbad with good food, kind service, and a relaxing environment, this is definitely a place worth trying. read more

Quick, solid options for lunchtime. Really enjoyed the bento boxes! Prices were a little high but the portions were big.

Best sushi I've ever had in my life. If you love sushi you have to come here or else; will come back for seconds every time. 10/10 sushi. Ambiance 10/10. Vibes 10/10. Bring the whole family and friends. read more

I'm giving this place a slight bump because I think it deserves better. I've been to Japan multiple times and of *everywhere* I've been around North County, I've liked this place's food the most. However, the vibes in the restaurant don't match the quality of the food. It feels like an Applebees, and is too far away from the feel you really want when going out for authentic Japanese. I think there should be a change in branding and overhaul of the look and feel of this place, as a nice japanese feeling place is something missing in the area. The food, which is the hard part, is already figured out read more

The best deal in SD is at yamariki sushi--if you eat there between 3:30-5:30. Usually it's 40% off during happy hour. For December it's 50%. Tonight, I had the big bento box which included miso soup, salad, tempura shrimp and veggies, California roll, rainbow roll, grilled salmon, white rice-originally 25.95 but today 13.50! I took more than half home for lunch. I loved everything that was served. Fish is so fresh! Salmon perfectly grilled. My sister loved her chicken teriyaki. All three of us had 9 different foods for $43-includes tax. Sooo good! read more

Yamariki Sushi - Bento box - Sushi Bars Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Sushi and service continue to be great with super fresh recent orders -- and fast courteous service. One small nitpick thing -- have to remind them when order "light rice" (great carb friendly option!) on rolls but they always remake it. 5 stars now since I do believe this is the top if not definitely top 3 sushi spots in north county for quality and value. PS. Get happy hour sushi from 3:30pm to 5:30pm each day -- save about 30% with 2010ish pricing. Unfortunately you have to order the happy hour now over the phone as no more online option, apparently due to fraud -- dang that's low to scam sushi, what's the world coming to (I digress!) read more

When the albacore is pink in the middle and gray on the outside my instinct say don't eat that. The kind young server took it back to the sushi chef , who I could hear voicing his frustration. The young girl returns embarrassed following orders to inform us the fish was delivered today. I kindly let her know we would not be consuming the fish. Hysterically an older lady (manager) returns a 3rd time with the same plate , I pointed out the discoloration of the albacore and sniffed it and ate it in-front of us. I was not expecting top tier sushi maybe just mid tier but I can't imagine this place will be in business much longer. Beyond this much of the flavors appeared to be overly sweetened. Happy hour is basically fair price for the quality. But beware of poor quality. read more

Hamachi Kama is one of the best I've had! Our favorite toro by far. Always enjoy ourselves here and the food does not disappoint. Yum!

Great service, food was excellent. Convenient location with plenty of parking. Clean, lively without too much noise.

Great service and good!food was great they gave us extra sweet cucumbers. great price my kids loved it definitely come here.

Horrible attitude and business relations. The server is great both the young girl and older ladies however the owner and older Japanese chef need to learn "Customer Service"! They try and fraud customers with different prices on their website vs. in store. They try and not give you the 40% discount for happy hour unless you request it. Went today for the last time! They were so cheap they didn't want to turn on the Air Conditioning. There was flies everywhere because of the heat and humidity. The chefs and waitresses are sweating. And when asked to turn on the AC the older chef (manager) lies and says it is on. I called him a liar and walked out. Good sushi but HORRIBLE customer service and I will be going somewhere else from now on. read more

Yamariki Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Carlsbad, California

I am 27 weeks pregnant and have a severe shellfish allergy, so I made it very clear when ordering sushi that I could not have any shellfish (crab, shrimp, etc.). The staff recommended the baked skin salmon roll and eel roll, so I ordered those. When I received my order, they gave me the baked salmon roll, which contains crab--a mistake that could have been deadly for me and my unborn baby. When I explained the situation, Josephine told me she would refund me and that she didn't need my card to process it. I was skeptical but trusted her. A week later, there was no refund. When I called to follow up, Josephine remembered me, hung up on me, and stopped answering my calls. She later called back saying the manager wouldn't be available on a day I could come. When I finally went back in, a staff member named "Young Bee" dismissed my concerns, refused to give me her real name, and wouldn't tell me when the manager would be available. Thankfully, a staff member named Alex kindly told me when David, the manager, would be working. This restaurant's negligence could have seriously harmed or killed me and my baby. On top of that, their staff was dishonest, evasive, and took zero accountability for their dangerous mistake. If you have allergies or expect basic professionalism, I strongly urge you to avoid this place. read more

This is the best kept secret in town. The Carlsbad Roll, the Red Bird, gyozas and garlic chile edamame are next level. The employees are so friendly and treat you like family. Highly recommend trying these delicious items. read more

Final review for this place. I am SO disappointed. And I know most of the regulars here are as well. This used to be so yummy, my favorite local sushi. But the restaurant is still dirty, trash all over the floor, and the food we had last night was bad. The sushi rolls were soaking wet. Like the rice was dissolving off of them, and it tasted like water had been dumped all over it. And the garlic edamame had a similar problem. It was sooo bland. It's usually delicious but last night it tasted like there was no seasoning in it, it was just wet edamame. The only thing that was good was the teriyaki chicken. Even the miso soup didn't taste right. I don't think we will spend anymore money here, it's just too expensive to get bad food. read more

Excellent food quality. Chef Alex did an amazing job food was delicious. Great local spot highly recommend read more

Nice local sushi spot. Very easy to get to. Has traditional rolls. Enjoyed a good bento box.

We had reservations for 5:15pm for my birthday and were looked over. Three people were sat ahead of us after we walked in and said we had reservations. We sat outside for 25 minutes with no drinks, order or help. My friend went into the restaurant, as we were seated outside, to ask if someone was going to help take our order for drinks and food. The waitresses response was, "Well, we're really busy, we'll try to have someone come out to help you." So we waited another five minutes and left. Really terrible service. Have never gone here and we will NOT be coming back. read more

I liked that I was able to sit anywhere I wanted and the food was good and the service was fast

I came here with a few friends and we were all seriously impressed. The sushi was super fresh, full of flavor, and beautifully prepared. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients and really take pride in what they serve. The service was also excellent--friendly, fast, and helpful without being overbearing. The atmosphere is relaxed but still nice enough for a date night or special occasion. We ordered a variety of rolls and some nigiri, and everything was delicious. Portion sizes were just right, and the presentation was beautiful. Even the appetizers and drinks were on point. read more

Yelp, you find me good lunch specials! For a foodie who looks for a quiet spot to read her book, this is a great lunch spot. The cucumber salad has just the right amount of tang and sweet.
