Hyuga Sushi — Restaurant in San Marcos

Horrible! Horrible! PLEAAAAASE STAY AWAY from this Horrible Place. We arrived at 4:15 pm ordered right away. Get this Ladies and Gents, my wife and I ordered TWO ITEMS, yes not 5, not 3.... TWO ITEMS... We didn't order appetizers oh my goodness... and we waited for almost TWO HOURS and we left with our table and stomach still empty. Although we are pretty hungry, we like to give restaurants fair chance that's why we waited but then when they don't even check on you to make sure you're okay or at least apologize for the wait we decided to leave.

So when my wife went up to talk to the server and told her that we can no longer wait. She didn't even checked if the order is ready, beg us to stay or at least apologize sincerely. She just said "okay cancel order." Quite unprofessional and rude.

My advice to them is... If they can't handle a lot of customers then just let them know right away that dining in is no longer available. At least customer is aware that the wait is going to be long and if he/she wants to come back later they can, or if they decided to wait.. well it's on them. Believe me, if they only did this system I wouldn't even give them a bad review. I wouldn't just be fine with it.

I also noticed that the Itamae (Sushi Chef) just prepares food that are to go. They don't know how to prioritize orders! Again this is a horrible place, we will never go back and will never recommend. If I could give 0...

THE best sushi spot in San Marcos- I’d argue in North County. I’ve been coming here since I was a kiddo and my “musts” on the menu have always been the albacore sashimi, bar salad and fried gyoza. Of course, anything on the menu will be perfect. The owner makes the sushi by hand and is always happy to chat with patrons as he works. The service is always quick and lovely. The restaurant itself is very “hole-in-the-wall,” but it lends to its charm. The walls are covered in classic anime posters, signed records from European, American and Japanese rockstars and actors. There is a small TV, usually playing the sports channel, but it’s not overwhelming, and a mix of j-pop and 80’s music is usually playing. I do wish the restaurant was open later some nights, as my husband and I work later into the evening, and would love to come for our late dinner dates. It’s the perfect spot for a small group or a date! You can’t get a better sushi fix...

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...
