Best Japanese Restaurants in Poway / Rancho Bernardo

We made a reservation for 5:00 pm, once seated we asked about the Happy Hour, was told Happy Hour was only in the bar area. However, the Server allowed us to order food off the Happy Hour menu which was nice , we ordered from both menus. I don't understand why we dined during Happy Hour and had to pay $5.00 more for drinks due to sitting 100 feet away from the bar? Overall food, tacos, and drinks were excellent. Next time will sit in the bar.

We love this restaurant! The food is authentic and delicious. Growing up with a Japanese mother I have missed having real Japanese food! Just what I needed.

Came to Pacific Coast Grill for dinner and had a great experience overall. Our server was friendly, attentive, and checked in often without being overbearing. The Hot Stone Surf & Turf was a fun, interactive dish, though a little anxiety-inducing making sure everything was cooked correctly. The ahi was definitely better than the filet. The shrimp dumplings were the favorite of the night—the texture was phenomenal, and the sauce was sweet and flavorful. The sea bass had a light sauce that complemented it nicely. The salmon was cooked well, though it could have used a bit more sauce to balance out the amount of rice. It leaned on the sweeter side, which matched the menu description. The lobster was cooked well though there was nothing remarkable about it. For dessert, the tempura bananas and apple pie were a perfect way to end the night. Definitely a great spot for a meal with a view! You should plan on valeting your car.

First time eating here, place was terrific!! Great food and if your interested they have a happy hour menu, we opted for entrees.

The food is Outstanding, by far the best sushi place I’ve been to. Every single one of the items we ordered tasted amazing.
