so yummy and the service was on point would definitely come back again! the restaurant was clean and the food was excellent.

Absolutely our neighborhood gem!! Love the Passport roll Excellent service and amazing food!! 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

Yamariki Sushi - Lunch combo + Carlsbad roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Carlsbad, California

I think I ordered wrong based on the good reviews here, but found everything to be average at best. I liked that you can add black garlic to the ramen, but the veggie ramen was so salty. The spicy tuna inside the salmon lemon roll was absurdly spicy and really ruined the roll for me. The color is such a bright red, you can tell just by looking at it. The garlic albacore roll was okay - I thought there would be chunks of fish but it was all chopped up which usually means they're using the scraps. Prices are decent but I rather pay a little more for much better quality elsewhere. read more

The Dragon Roll is a must try! The sauce on it tastes amazing. The workers are really friendly and the vibes are real.

Good food. Good service. Ask for the specials. I had the hot and tuna, and crispy rice. Delicious. The happy hour pricing is great

Great service and good food. It was pretty hot in there but they had some fans to help cool everyone off. I think their ac was broken.

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

Good quick service, good variety of dishes. Our 4 year old absolutely destroyed his chicken yakisoba. Very family friendly place!

Great food. Love their 50% off 3:30-5:30 Happy Hour; I come on my off-work days. The outdoor patio is very nice. Thank you for great service as always Andrea, Yeong-bi, and Gina! See you tomorrow! read more

Yamariki Sushi - Spicy salmon handroll - 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

If you are in La Costa Town Square and feel like sushi you should give this a try. Fresh fish and great atmosphere. Five stars ! read more

Great service and food,I enjoyed my meal.I will be returning in the future.The lights are nice as well

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 - Carlsbad and tempura roll are sooooo good! Crispy rice and garlic edamame are delish too. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Amazing food and discount! We loved the bento box. Our two young girls had a great time.

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

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

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

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
