Sushi Lounge Encinitas — Restaurant in Encinitas

I had one of the most surreal, revolting experiences at this restaurant. I ordered takeout while I was with my wife in the delivery room across the street at the hospital. I went to pick it up, but only part of my order was ready. I asked the hostesses if I could eat something at a table while I waited for the rest of the food, thinking that was a fairly simple request. They insisted I could not, so I asked to speak to the manager. He said I could not eat any of my food there. I told him I could just eat the whole meal there. They could set me up as a dine-in guest. I told him I was going to leave a tip regardless for using the table, in case that might have been the reason he didn’t want me eating there. He refused. “If it’s a to-go order, you can’t eat it here.” I told him my wife was in labor, and I just needed to eat something before I headed back. I was waiting for the rest of the order anyway. No again. It was shocking. We had been at the hospital for 36 hours. I had barely slept. I hadn’t eaten in I don’t know how long. He didn’t care. Restaurant policy. At a moment in my life when I really needed the smallest gesture of human kindness, or at the very least acquiescence, I was met with the most casual, indifferent cruelty. The food was mediocre, but what would you expect when these are the types of people...

We were so hungry that anything should have tasted good. Unfortunately the only good thing was the seafood salad. Perhaps the shrimp tempura was acceptable. We ordered 6 separate specialty rolls at 18 bucks a pop. Poor quality fish, warm temperature, bland flavors except jalapeños mouth burning spicy. They all tasted the same. Some were sloppy falling over. Then we ordered pork gyoza..still with freezer burn on it. Meh. And Japanese noodle dish with chicken which was so horrible it was inedible..dishwater comes to mind. 200 bucks worth of bad food. Ingredients are not high quality and where is the flavor? Hot is not a flavor! We ate outside on the edge of a parking lot by the freeway. Service was not good either. Needless to say we do not recommend this restaurant. I was surprised by the good reviews as we really kept trying to find something that we could eat. I hate...
