Yamariki Sushi

Been going to this restaurant since it opened and the quality of food has always been fantastic. They have different specials and it’s important to check, see picture. We were there on a Tuesday at 4 PM and got 40% off our meal. be mindful that they also off at a lesser discount when you order online or walk up order and take out. The quality of the food is top notch as you can see from the pictures. We always have a large sake with our meal and it’s always warming to the soul to drink it. The restaurant itself is L-shaped and does contain bathrooms in the back. You can see the picture of the sushi bar which has bench seats with table and chair seating across from it. However, when you walk in the door, you’re at the cash register and if you kept going straight, that’s where the actual dinner booths are located along with the restrooms. Sometimes the restaurant seems a little dark, so make sure you have your reading glasses and your phone if you need it for a little extra light. The menu is quite extensive as you can see with a variety of sushi and sashimi options. For happy hour sashimi is not part of the happy our However, when ordering it’s very clear because on the order card, there are things that are marked with green and things that aren’t and the ones that are green are not included in the happy hour. We ordered three types of rolls and they’re all labeled in the pictures. This included the TNT, Alaska, and Eel rolls. We also ordered a few pieces of Unagi and Hamachi. Everything is top quality and taste fantastic. The sushi melts in your mouth with a little bit of soy sauce. Be mindful when you come as it can get crowded. They do have outdoor seating, which is really nice in the summertime although it’s a little chilly right now. I would highly recommend this as a sushi stop just be mindful of when you come and when the specials are, and you can save a lot of money for top quality food.

I came to this restaurant with my family to enjoy a weekend dinner, and the food and service were excellent!! Gina especially was a gem; she was very attentive, checking on us constantly, ensuring that everything met the restaurants high standards. We ordered quite a few rolls and appetizers and everything was excellent!! A great way to spend happy hour at this lovely spot <3

Service is friendly and fast, I sat at the bar top and was checked on multiple times to see if I needed anything. Sushi came out quickly and was delicious and very generous sized. I even had to ask for a to go container and they boxed it for me and gave me a nice sushi see through plastic box. Bill was returned quickly which I always appreciate when I’m trying to pay and leave. Would recommend their happy hour they have 30% off 3 rolls from 3:30 - 5:30 pm I believe. Great option if you’re a couple.

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.

My favorite Japanese restaurant in Carlsbad. Staff and people here are amazing. Friendly, jovial and caring. I love the food here. My favorite here is the kama. I was introduced to it by one of our friends and I love this grilled fish collar. Amazing dish, try it with fresh wasabi.

We had such a great experience! We sat outside with our dog and they brought her a big bowl of water without us asking! The sushi was really fresh and yummy. Highly recommend :)

The quality of the sushi is pretty good. Some were obviously not as high for the price. Service was descent. The atmosphere is pretty nice. Some things I didn't like to see were the boxes and bags being within line of sight but not uncommon, maybe just a pet peeve. However, the clearing of the table took longer than expected. Especially being sat near the entrance.

Delicious food and great lunch specials. It’s not crowded so no long wait times! Highly recommend!
