Poke N Salad

Hawaiian restaurant

👍 Fresh and delicious, I got a regular poke bowl with two proteins. They have all the regular toppings you'd find at any Pokey place. All the ingredients were fresh, and they had quite a few different sauces. The Thai tea was good and had a lot of spice to it. They are a bit more expensive than other...

Tabi-ji Japanese Cuisine

Authentic Japanese restaurant

👍👍 This place is the greatest. We drove up from San Diego to enjoy their meals. No one has Sukiaki that tastes as good as theirs and the portions are ample. The Miso soup is also outstanding. I don't know their secret, but don't change it.

Good Choice Sushi By The Sea

Sushi restaurant

👍👍 Wow. Wow.Wow. I would never expect a place this good to be in this location. Sure, it's "right on the coast" and all but the train tracks and general location doesn't give it much foot traffic. This hidden gem is a must if you are driving through the area, especially during happy hour. We stayed at...

Sushi Wazen

Authentic Japanese restaurant

👍👍 We had an amazing dinner at this mom and pop restaurant. The quality of fish was really good and everything tasted like an authentic Japanese sushi.
