Hyuga Sushi

Legit Japanese food. Excelllent sushi, the Japanese family running the place is so nice. They may seem slow but make the food with the care and attention to detail you would expect in Japan.

Hyuga Sushi has a charming, comfortable atmosphere with warm service and very delicious food. The chefs and the hostess were all very attentive, and I liked that the space was small and cozy with a very personal touch. While all the food was delicious, I was particularly happy with the agedashi tofu, which was pleasantly crisp and delicious. I look forward to coming here again soon, hopefully to try out their lunch menu 👍

It's always a great experience, especially at a sushi restaurant to know the owner/ chef! It's great to meet Master Kuro and receive great service and great sushi specialties!

A hidden sushi gem for sure. Best part is it wasn't crowded and they stayed open late just for us to finish our meal and talk. Felt really special. Sushi was good and fairly priced. Was impressed with the ngiri.

Stopped for lunch when we saw a sign for Sushi. What a nice find.. Lunch was great, service great. we both had a Hyuga special....delicious. We'll be back!

Hands-down, best sushi & service in all of San Diego. This is our go-to spot. If you get the chance-GO!! Couple of our favorites are El Fuego & Rainbow rolls. Go now!!!

A small sushi place run by a family. Rolls were great. I can't say nigiri sushi was the best. We also enjoyed other dinner plates like Katsu Curry and small dishes.

Still the best!

I haven't been here in a couple of years so I was curious to see if they changed but to my delight, they're still delicious as ever! Took my parents here last month and they loved it as much as I did.

The chicken karaage was crispy and tender. The pork curry was just the right balance of salty and sweet. The tempura batter is very light so you actually taste the vegetables (the way it's supposed to be so you're not just biting into thick batter). The miso soup is heavenly and the owner's wife offered us several more bowls of it since my mom liked it so much, without charging (unlike some places).

I've never had the saba shio (mackerel) here before but gave it a try. It was probably the best mackerel I've had any where. Wasn't greasy or too salty, just grilled to perfection and even the skin was crispy and delicious!

You won't regret coming here.

Very good food and friendly service! Must try the agedashi tofu. New to San Marcos, and I think we just found a go to Japanese restaurant in the area.

Love this place. Can’t believe I haven’t reviewed them. We go so often, didn’t even think about it. Best Japanese food in the area!

Yum! Loved the chicken katsu curry. My wife got the karaage...never had this anywhere before so I don't have anything to compare to but it sure was tasty. Also, unique & fun ambience with lots of pop culture art and eclectic music.

This place came recommended to my wife and I, so we popped in for lunch. First off, amazing cozy vibe with some great music and artwork adorning the dining area. Service was prompt and friendly, and the menu compact, yet with plenty variety. Our food arrived in a timely manner, and was absolutely a treasure - a perfect amount, and expertly prepared and displayed. The tuna was absolutely perfect, as was the shrimp, soup, and even salad. We will definitely be back!

Been going to Hyuga for the better part of 9+ years. Lots of options in the Carlsbad area, but this continues to be my go-to. Besides the award-winning sushi:

- Atmosphere is low key
- Small sushi-bar seats approximately 5, max capacity about 15-20.
- Service is attentive, friendly, and genuine.
- Every wall, you’ll see the owner’s interests from Anime to Heavy Metal. Always fun to look & learn.

Best sushi place I’ve been, fresh fish, excellent service. Totally blown away. I now go here as regularly as possible.

Take out experience is great. Food is consistantly high quality. Always on time. The Japanese curry is amazing 👏 sushi is fresh.

Only dined in one time. Dine in experience was a bit slow, but this is a small business and it looks like it's just the owner and one waitress so I don't really have a problem with waiting a bit. When im hangry thats a whole other story... Decor is fun. The order form was a bit confusing as we accidentally ordered hand rolls (1 rolled up item) vs cut rolls (8 cut up rolls).

Kuro is the chef and owner of this little jem, we believe he’s going on his 16th year. GOOD FOR HIM and his passion for putting art in creating beautiful sushi. The proportions of fish to rice is perfect. Remember going into some Sushi bars with 2/3 rice and the fish is cut paper thin for higher price because it’ some fancy deco. This is Kuro’s second home, rock n roll posters, great music and fresh fish. Orange Sunrise; creamy delicious quail eggs, salmon and smelt egg, melt in your mouth. El Fuegio is spicy, but not the hottest, just enough to make it one of our favorites. Rainbow Roll is a sampler of many different fresh fish and that’s the difference between other sushi bars, this fish is fresh and created with a passion. THANKS KURO for serving us for ten years. btw, he’s getting busier every month, so try to make it on Tuesday- Thursday if you don’t want to wait.

I almost don’t want to share this hidden gem. Excellent all around. Fresh and authentic sushi cuisine. Chef-owned and operated, with service that goes way above the norm.

Doesn’t get any more authentic than this, felt like we were back in Japan. Everything was superb. Our new spot for real Japanese cuisine.

just started coming here. Been awesome both time so far. super fresh and small place. It is my new go to sushi spot in town and I've tried them all!

Okay it’s been five years

kura San is the best sushi chef in north county
