Benihana
Although him cooking us the best shrimp and steak we’ve ever had vladimir gave me and my family an unforgettable experience. He was a very funny and charming guy for our table making jokes, playing games and providing us the best food as well. The service was amazing as well. We had the sweetest waitress, lauren who provided amazing service and was a very friendly and sweet girl!! I be returning to benihana in carlsbad real soon!!
Marco was an amazing cook! Super talented, he even made a unicorn with our fried rice! It’s always a great experience coming here, but Marco made it 10x better! Our server was super friendly and accommodating, he was amazing too!
J BOX
The owner is a hardworking humble man just trying to make good food. I had their chicken teriyaki and ssam. Fast and yummy!
It was my first time trying this place out. It's super convenient , only a couple of minutes away from work. I ordered the regular Poke bowl and ate half the bowl and notice something crawling around in the rice and its a bug..... Not extremely ecstatic about this and disgusted that its been all over my food and especially the raw seafood. With COVID and all these other things going on please do better with preparing your food.
Ichitaru Ramen
The Salmon teriyaki bento and ramen were great. Good amount of food for the money. The sound of the grills were pretty loud. Family friendly - lots of high chairs.
Ordered doordash waited almost an hour I think which is fine but when my food arrived I got 2 bites of rice boiled chicken 2 bites of a dumpling and a half effort salad small portion. Look at how I received it.. Update just tried eating the chicken and it’s not even chewable rock solid and can even squeeze it with my fingers. There’s no way this restaurant is real gotta be a social experiment 😂
Bricks Family Restaurant
This is regarding the dinner buffet. This was our first time at Legoland Resort and decide to try Bricks' dinner buffet. Don't waste your money. There is barely a selection, employees look unhappy, and there was no one at the pasta station so we couldn't utilize that. Food was mediocre. Not worth what we paid per person. Legoland needs to revamp this place or shut it down. Such a bad first impression for us.
We stayed at legoland California hotel for 2 nights so obviously we got 2 free breakfasts at Bricks. Breakfast buffet (since it was included with the stay) was pretty decent. Great hot food options like biscuits & gravy, different sausages, eggs, waffles, pancakes (different menu on 2 mornings) however I also bought dinner for one night thinking we’d be too tired to drive outside the resort to go eat. Mistake!! For a family of four, including 20% discount (bc I paid in advance when booking) I paid something like $80. I expected something way better for that $. To be fair, they had a few good dishes like steak with chimichurri sauce, pork belly, good salads but def not worth $80. The whole kitchen area gave me a school cafeteria vibe with plastic kids plates and the service wasn’t that great. I don’t mind spending a lot of money on food as long as it’s worth it (bc it would’ve been over $100 normally) but unfortunately this wasn’t.. There are tons of of GREAT restaurants within 10 mins from the resort. We did that the 2nd night and spent $75 for waaayyy better quality food.
Punjabi Tandoor
I ordered dessert while in town for business from this restaurant. I tried the Kheer Rice Pudding and Gulab Jamun. The Kheer Rice Pudding was good. The Gulab Jamun was a bit hard and wasn't that great. I would recommend the Kheer Rice Pudding and would get it again but would definitely stay away from ordering the Gulab Jamun again.
Butter chicken wasn’t very flavorful and was honestly bland. The yogurt was watery and tasteless. They make batches and have a counter serve style restaurant so everything is one spice level. Understandable for the clientele in the area. Maybe I would’ve enjoyed it more if it was spicier. There is better quality and authentic Indian food elsewhere in town. The service was good though. I won’t be back.
Notorious Burgers
Great burger, chicken sandwich was all batter. Service was good but kitchen was very slow to prepare the food. Fries were excellent.
Delicious burgers and good selection of craft beers. Had the Bulger and Smashurger (2 patties). Very pleasant servers. Nice outdoor seating which is better than sitting inside which is a little drab. Great spot for a bite before a movie at Cinepolis.
Harumama Noodles + Buns - Carlsbad
Oh my god!! This is by far the best food I have ever eaten in my life! No joke! Super fast and excellent service. My wife forced me into the restaurant and I am blown away. The flavors and textures. You have found your next restaurant!
Food was so good and they had all the buns in stock. Other locations are usually out of one or more flavors. We had the buns, fried rice, ribeye and ramen. All delicious & close to perfection!!
Aroi Thai Carlsbad
The foods taste really good.. and the decoration of the restaurant looks nice and fresh. The service is a little slow but I don’t blame them because they have only one server. We got very satisfied with our experience overall.
If you're looking for IMMACULATE food with an aesthetic, welcoming atmosphere, Aroi Thai is just the place! It's astounding service acts as the cherry on top to this perfect cultural bistro. Give it a go - you won't be disappointed whatsoever ;) P.S. The penang is to die for!
In-N-Out Burger
Back in CA for a few days and had to get In-N-Out. Opted for extra cheese and raw onion this time. Fries of course and a drink. $12.34!!!! Still pretty cheap. I ate in the dining room. There was a dining room attendant who was friendly and kept the place clean. John, who took my order, was also friendly and had a smile on his face. Drive-thru was packed as usual. Waiting patiently for In-N-Out to open closer to Kentucky. Great job!!!!!
The food is always good 😊 we also got the animal fries. They first got us the regular one by mistake, then we asked for the animal fries. And they gave us the regular one for free. You need to eat the burgers right away, otherwise the burger got cold and the texture is getting worse.
Thai Style
We stopped by for dinner to wait out the traffic before heading back home to SD. Both the drunken noodles and Thai green tea tasted delicious and authentic! Very pleased to have this amazing Thai place in the food hall. Decent value for tasty Thai food. Also, shout out to the amazing cashier and cooks! Super friendly and professional. We will definitely come back to try their other dishes!
The food at this cute little Thai spot is amazingly delicious! The service is always friendly and quick, and the portions are huge! I love the yellow curry without chicken, add extra potatoes and carrots and wide noodles instead of rice. The tofu Pad Thai without egg and traditional style with no spice is scrumptious. I add extra scallions and peanuts. Don't forget to get a Thai iced coffee. I understand there is a new 2nd location in Oside.
Mot'to Japanese Grill
Needed a quick bite while we were at the outlets, food was fast, pretty healthy and tasted good. Service was very friendly and helpful. Recommend if you need a counter service restaurant.
My mom dropped the plate as she was bringing it to the table, but they just cooked the food again for us without making us pay again! The staff were all very professional and kind, cleaning up the floor so quick and checking if my mom was ok. This was our second time here, and the food is always great with good portions at an affordable price! Highly recommend this place!!
Hooked on Sushi
Adding to place to our list of favorite sushi places, and they have several locations. We came here in a group of 7 and had a wait time of 20 mins. I personally think that it's not too bad at that time because it was a full house. When we sat down our server was kind enough to let us know that the kitchen was backlogged and might take more than 15 mins for our orders to come out. She took our orders as soon as we were ready. Their menu has a large selection to choose from and it might be overwhelming because of all the good food items you would want to order. We ended up getting several rolls to share and they came out much faster than we expected. My personal favorite and I highly recommend the Chirashi Sushi, I loved their North Coast Signature Roll and I enjoyed the Soft Shell Crab Hand Roll. Also, we were told that a part of the proceeds from the sales of the North Coast Signature Roll goes to a good cause. That's a great motivation for me to get it - and it was also really good. On top all the good things I shared here, what was really the best part was the freshness of the ingredients, how clean it was, and how generous the portions are. The rolls and the sushi were big and had more meat that rice/extenders. We will definitely come back here again!
My favorite sushi place in north county San Diego! I am half Japanese and grew up in a Japanese household, so I tend to be very picky when it comes to Japanese food. The Hooked On in Carlsbad has fresh sushi that doesn’t leave you feeling bloated after. I usually get the vitamin roll (see roll with a flower in the picture) and they use fresh crab instead of imitation, which I LOVE. It does have fresh lime on top, so it’s definitely for citrus lovers. Their Mexican roll is also delicious if you love some spice and heartiness in your rolls. Staff is always on top of it and friendly. Prices aren’t crazy. 10/10 recommend and so does my family!
