Love Boat Sushi Oceanside — Restaurant in Oceanside

Love Boat Sushi is a cozy restaurant tucked in a shopping center, meeting the needs of convenience and hunger satisfaction for customers in various retail stores or those shopping at Lowe’s.

When I came in, I was greeted pleasantly by the host who offered a booth or table and after giving her my request she kindly ushered me to the table. Unfortunately, my good experience was short lived as a slew of events while at the restaurant left a bitter taste in m mouth.

My server was polite for the most part. She didn’t make recommendations and cut me off after I made my drink order to tend to another guest. I wanted to make my appetizer order with my drink order but I couldn’t even finish myself. “Gimmie a second, I’ll be right back” I understand it was busy, but if you’re tending to a guest at that moment, that person/family/party is your priority in that moment.

After 5-7 minutes she came back with my drink which was a Nigori Sake and then, asked me what I wanted to order. To my dismay, the sake was not my taste, and I queried on options of exchanging the drink for something else. Per my server’s words, it could not be done, and even though I didn’t like it, I couldn’t exchange it, especially since I opened the bottle. I was only able to stomach one full o-choko. She offered to wrap it up so I could take it home, which was not the best offer to make since I did not like the drink I would not have a reason to want/need to drink it at home. There was no offer for a discount or to comp the beverage. I ordered another drink, paying the full price of both items. The peach sake was tasty and sweet.

After my sushi rolls arrived, my server checked on my once. I noticed however that she was checking on nearby guests more frequently. On several occasions I needed more napkins or another straw, and she was nowhere to be found. I had to resort to calling out other servers, bussers, and luckily the host was walking around giving extra napkins. When I was done with my rolls I scanned the restaurant for my server, who finally caught my eye contact. But instead of asking me if there was anything I needed, she already had a closed bill and check ready for me, and gave it to me. By this time I was a little disgruntled by her lack of attention and sincerity towards me. I had to tell her that I was not ready for a check because I actually wanted to order some dessert. I shouldn’t have ordered dessert. That should have been my queue to leave. But I really wanted the full dining experience.

The mochi ice-cream…The ice-cream itself was fantastic. Should it be called mochi? No. Mochi is known for its chewy rice “shell” on ice-cream that is sweet, chewy and delicious. At best, this “mochi” was just mango ice-cream coated in flour.

After all this, and a wallet-gbusting bill, I am disappointed by the experience at Love Boat Sushi, and do not hold this establishment to...

I have never left a $0 tip and walked out of a restaurant before tonight. The wife and i decided to try this location for the first time. Walked in thought we were lucky there were only five other tables then us. Right as we sat down a gentleman asked us for our drink order and a few moments later the sushi chef asked for our paper sheet filled out with only one roll as i was ordering a dinner entree. The chef looked over the paper and started making sushi, told me to ask the other waitress for the entree. Ok!. Well 10 minutes later i had to stop the waitress to ask to order my entree. She was very short and gone quick. About 10 minutes later i got my food but no silverware, my lemonade was out and no offer to refill. Had to stop her again for a refill. Remind everyone there was only six tables in this place. Not busy! Another 10 to 15 minutes later as this chef is still standing in the same place he was after reading our menu and still making sushi. I figured this roll was really hard to make or something. So i asked and he looks at the paper and goes "o sorry i forgot". At this point i was done with my food and my wife was starving. I then walked up to the front counter asking complaining to the staff about the service. After i was done talking i was presented with a bill minus the forgotten roll. I guarantee i will never be visiting again.

PS: the other location does this strobe light signing thing with the staff. My epileptic friend i was with had to run out the restaurant. Great food though . And dont try to substitute anything. They give you attitude and have to ask 3 other...

Love Boat Sushi has really delicious Japanese food. I placed my order on Yelp online delivery order service through the Grubhub delivery service yesterday for my lunch.

The Chicken Teriyaki Lunch includes the Miso Soup and Mini Salad. For my Dessert I ordered the Mochi Ice Cream in the Mango flavor with whipped cream topping and Chocolate syrup. I received 2 quantity of the tart and delicious Mango flavored Mochi Ice Cream snd I added a scoop of whipped cream topping with the Chocolate syrup.
