Top Best Sushi Places & Restaurants in Carmel Mountain

"Locals know this sushi spot for its sustainable seafood but you should head in because it’s all delicious. Traditionalists will enjoy nigiri and sashimi while diving into the restaurant’s new-style rolls incorporating ingredients like black garlic aioli and blood orange kosho. Insider tip: Sake plays a big part in the menu with the option to order flights paired with your meal."

"If you’re in the mood for sushi, head to Blue Ocean Robata & Sushi Bar. The freshness of the ingredients is beyond fault, while its selection of specialty cocktails makes the perfect accompaniment to dishes like caramelized eggplant, crispy soft-shell crab, jalapeno slaw, caterpillar roll, and heart attack roll. If you can’t be tempted by all the delectable sushi on offer, you’ll still have plenty of options to try, including a superb pork belly robata and a stunning five-spice duck taco served in a coconut scallion crepe and accompanied by mint napa slaw, hoisin lime, and fried ginger."

"When it first opened in 2014, Blue Ocean brought a dose of high design to the neighborhood as well as a welcome infusion of Asian cuisine. It’s since spawned another location in La Jolla, which serves a similar menu of sushi rolls, small plates, and entrees that range from Korean bbq ribs to chicken teriyaki, but the Carlsbad outpost is unique for its Japanese robata grill, which is fired up after 4 p.m. for a lineup of skewers that include pork belly, wagyu meatballs, baby octopus, and asparagus with bacon."

"Blue Ocean has incredible ambiance, world-class service, and of course, phenomenal food!. It’s certainly one of our favorite Carlsbad restaurants. Try unique rolls like the Surf-Turf, made with tempura shrimp, and the Tango Mango with tropical mango mousse topper."

"The Oceana Coastal Kitchen is housed within the Catamaran Resort Hotel in San Diego. It is an upscale eatery that is known in the area for its spectacular bay views and well-prepared seafood dishes. The restaurant provides weekly specials and a wine and craft beer list."

"Their onsite restaurant, Oceana Coastal Kitchen, features an amazing view and a jellyfish aquarium in the restaurant. Highly recommend this spot for a seafood dinner, or plan to enjoy breakfast with a view."

"Though from the outside this Pacific Beach sushi restaurant looks like just another strip mall restaurant, it is almost undisputedly recognized as San Diego’s best sushi place. This sushi combination is just the beginning — if you’re adventurous you can try local live uni, beef sashimi and more. If you can, try and sit at the sushi bar to meet Chef Ota himself and so you can watch the masters at work and learn what’s fresh."

"Tucked in the corner next to a 711 of a very small shopping center, not even sure if you call it that, is this hidden gem.You know you’ve come to the rig..."

"A post shared by JSMedina (@kulokoy) on Mar 17, 2019 at 8:26pm PDT. At this all-you-can-eat buffet, your food choices are more than you can try in one outing (so come back soon!) Chow down on a large selection of seafood, including crab legs, shrimp and scallops and serve yourself a side of sushi to go with it. End your meal with a delightful dessert such as crème brûlée, cheesecake or perhaps some Italian gelato."

"This 3,000-acre conservation area near Dixon Lake was established in 1996 to help preserve biologically unique habitats.

"Hosp Grove was founded by a group of investors called The Hosp Eucalyptus Corp in 1908. They planted 219 acres of trees in this Carlsbad grove hoping they could be harvested & sold to the Santa Fe Railroad as railroad ties. Much of the grove has been sold off, but what remains are fun, forested trails with plenty of inclines and twists & turns."

"This hike will take you through unique rock structures, and at the end, you can enjoy the sunset from the beach (a sometimes nude one). Don’t forget to check out the Mushroom House too while you’re there. More: Photo Guide to Hiking the Ho Chi Minh Trail"
