Awesome place!! We've been here 2-3 times now and have tried the lobster rolls, the pizza and pastas, and the sushi rolls. The lobster rolls were delicious for sure but we've liked the food in general. They also have live oysters on the weekends so we've tried those. The drinks are so so but the atmosphere and choice of food vendors makes up for that. Service is fine because you get a buzzer but otherwise there isn't much table service. Lots of parking around the area and large amount of seating inside and outside. Definitely check out the back area where they have cozy sofas, armchairs and a library wall :)

This the wildest, weirdest food rodeo in a Dutch windmill you will ever experience. Full bar, live music, multiple dining restaurants, and community seating. Even Kids are welcome. Yeah, miniature humans are welcome. Crazy. I love the mini donut shop, a solid 10 on the foodometer. They have classic car shows!!! Once a month. Food, music and classic cars... almost heaven on earth for nerds!!! I'll be back!!! It is completely worth the visit.

I was reminiscing about Ruby's Diner, one of my favorite dining locations at the Oceanside Pier. They had closed many years ago and the building recently burnt down. But after doing a search online, I realize that they had a location in Carlsbad. This is my review of Ruby's Diner in the Carlsbad outlet mall. I am very happy that this Ruby's Diner is only 15 minutes away from downtown Oceanside. Although I don't come to this mall frequently, I may start returning more often thanks to my experience eating here. Ruby's Diner is known as a Classic American Diner that is well known for their burgers, fries & milkshakes. They're also famous for their vintage 50's & 60's themed decor & music. Their interior is very spacious and accommodate groups and families easy. You can also choose to sit outside on the patio as well. The vintage theme has various paraphernalia and decorations from the 60s era. They also have a functioning train set that runs a track on the ceiling above. The kids love it! I think the only CON I found for their atmosphere was in regards to their men's restroom being too small and only having 1 stall & 1 urinal. Their service is always courteous, fast & friendly and I love their uniforms. Although their menu is based on an American diner theme, there are many other options to help diversify one's dining choices. For breakfast, you can find items like eggs Benedict, omelettes, avocado toast, breakfast burritos, biscuits & gravy, chicken fried steak, waffles, pancakes, French toast, and of course, a typical American breakfast with eggs and bacon. Their lunch and dinner menu is just as extensive. Their portions are very fair considering the price, and overall, I love the customization options for customers who want to create their own flavor experiences by mixing & matching ingredients. My most recent experience was with a Cobb burger, Cajun Fries and a Salted Caramel Milkshake. I loved the variance from salty bacon, to juicy burger, to seasoned crispy fries & the sweet sips of heaven! Anytime I want a true vintage dining experience, I come to Ruby's Diner in Carlsbad to send me down memory lane. I recommend!

We had breakfast here before heading to Legoland for the day. The portions are big. We were able to skip lunch for the day, even with all the walking we did. The staff were attentive and the service was fast. The food was delicious. They gave my kid a cool paper car to assemble too!

Great food and friendly service!! I've visited a few times and the food and service have always been great. It's more of a fast food style option, similar to a cafe style where you order at the counter, they give you a number, and then bring you your food once it's ready.

Great spot for vegan and vegetarian food with lots of options they include burgers, sandwiches, salads, and Mexican food. They also have a few desert options and kids meals. Highly recommend!

This was my first time here but my wife’s comes here often. Very good menu selection. I had the tuna, salad and stuffing. I liked the tuna and salad. I had stuffing just to try something different but I will not order again. I’ll definitely return again.

Thank you Urban plates for dinner! I had the Mediterranean bowl today and it was delicious!! The pita chips were my favorite. Lety was an absolute pleasure in serving us tonight. Definitely coming back for more 😊

We went to this restaurant one night while I was staying at La Costa in Carlsbad. It’s a beautiful room and a nice vibe. We had great service at the bar. And the food was really good except one dish was a bit over salty (creamed spinach) which I couldn’t eat. All the other side dishes and the rib eye were great! Overall, a great experience and we will definitely go back.

This restaurant is Just OKAY, the service is what you would expect at a Flemming's but short of what you would see at a Ruth's Chris. The food on the other hand is incredibly mediocre epically for the price. The steaks were chewy and flavorless, the sides were nothing special. For the same price, I could have gone to Mastro's and gotten the Wagyu tomahawk which was amazing. But no, I wasted my money on something that tastes like it came from costco.

Excellent staff and service. We were there when it opened so not very busy. Food options were promising, but flavors were less than expected. Just not what you'd want or expect for the higher $20per person price. Good, but needs to be better. Also the fries and sandwich bread wasn't crispy or toasted enough. So flavors bland and textures limp. Parking was minimal. There's a tiny 2hr lot for free, but I'm not sure where you'd park if the spots were taken. Inside and outside seating available. Umbrella shades outside. AC inside. Kid friendly. View of the planes were good.

My son wanted to watch planes take off and land, and we got to enjoy some tasty pub burgers out on the patio. Servers were attentive. Food was hot and fresh. Prices not surprising for location. We had a nice lunch at The Landings.

Blue Ocean is my new favorite sushi spot in North County! We went for a happy hour on my birthday and were blown away by the quality and quantity of each of their dishes. The tomago nigiri was A+ perfectly seasoned and the wakame is soooo tasty. The rest of the nigiri was perfect and as expected for top notch fish. The rice was also perfectly seasoned. The crispy shrimp was plump and perfectly covered in a sweet and savory sauce. We tried two skewers - the pork with pineapple and the steak. Both were superb. I think I liked the pork one a little better because the pineapple was a perfect foil for the juicy pork. The birthday chocolate cake with a savory caramel and crispy amaranth was sublime. Not too sweet with lots of complexity. This isn’t our first time nor will it be the last time. If you want truly exceptional sushi and skewers. This is the place to go. Don’t sleep on the soup as well - it’s rich, dotted with tiny mushrooms, and very satisfying. There is plenty of parking in the lot or nearby. They also have drink specials weekly - I highly recommend the whiskey Wednesday!

Hands down the BEST, freshest, most flavorful food I’ve had in a very long time. Additionally, the environment is extremely pleasant and lively, but also not too loud. We ordered the Kaboconut Soup, filet + pineapple robata, Amberjack Carpaccio, and Marine Boy roll. As well as the Pina Verde (WOW) and the cucumber Saketini. We will 1000% be back every time we’re in town because I would love to try more items on their delicious and diverse menu! Lastly, thank you Meimei for being an awesome server!

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!

This was our first time here and we really enjoyed our meal! We ordered a variety of sushi and really enjoyed everything, Sarah our waitress was also amazing! THANKS Sarah

Caterpillar roll was great, we didn't like Dragon roll because seaweed smelled weird. Mango Roll (fancy Salmon Roll) was very good but a little spicy, Salmon Roll was tiny and nothing special. Sesame Chicken was perfect but the cabbage with it was useless. Yaki Udon was bad and tasteless. Bulgogi beef was great!

Probably now my favorite restaurant and cuisine. The staff is personable with great food recommendations. I visited 4x during my week long stay. Tried 8+ dishes and was not disappointed whatsoever! Tutu and her colleagues are intentional with service and the hospitality is definitely received. I’ve been obsessed with authentic Thai food for a decade, and now will be considering Himalayan cuisine as my favorite… Will mark this restaurant on my favorites! Kudos 👏🏽

The food was absolutely delicious with decent portion sizes at a reasonable price. My friend and I shared a lunch menu item and still had leftovers to take home. The establishment is clean and well decorated. The staff was top tier service that I haven’t received at a restaurant in a long time. They were happy to have us in and helped with some menu questions and recommendations. Even saved us some money by upgrading or naan instead of getting two (comes with the lunch specials). So glad we stopped in to eat here while visiting from Las Vegas!

Never expected American fast food to be the best, but actually I find this one way more pleasing compared to some European fast food restaurants! The place was very clean, friendly employees and the food was really good! It feels definitely like a safe option, you can see clearly how they’re preparing the food and despite the fact that it still is food meant to be done quickly to receive most sales, it tastes similarly to the ones people could get in some actual local restaurants. One of my favourite options for fast food in the US!

Amazing Chinese food at reasonable price. Good variety of mains & sides. Fresh & tasty.

This was my first visit to Noodles and LOVED it. I ordered my meal at the counter and requested it to go. I got Japanese Pan Noodles with chicken. It was SO good! The presentation was nice, even in a take out container. I look forward to trying more of their tasty, fresh dishes. Service was friendly, didn't take too long, and the food temps were perfect.

Never been here before and wanted to give it a try. Place is clean and has a nice atmosphere, food is disappointing on the other hand. Ordered what I thought was the most basic meal parmesan chicken and it didn't turn out good. Chicken was too thin and burnt, I don't like the presentation either for the 15$ I paid.. will not be coming back and will go to better options in the area next time.
