Kaito Sushi - Sushi restaurant in Encinitas - 130-A N El Camino Real, USA

This is a high-quality restaurant - great service experience. You can tell the staff cares about their customers and they provide a great restaurant experience. Fish is quality! Happy I stopped by ... I am thankful that they also held my credit card when I accidentally left it at the restaurant.. very easy to communicate with.

This has been our favorite sushi place since forever. We tried other places but we always come back here! The fish is fresh and delicious. The place always feels cozy and the staff is very nice. Don't miss the appetizers that are great, the Japanese fried chicken is amazing! After that you have a lot of choices, sashimi, rools, special mention to the eels one, my favorite. Dinning in or taking out- don't hesitate you won't regret it.

We loved it!! I was craving sushi and this place was super close to home. We went just after 5p on a Thursday and were lucky to get seats at the bar. So hot tip…call ahead for a reservation! My wife and I shared 4 rolls. Our favorite was the Red Tide. We also liked the Rainbow and Shrimp Tempura rolls. The only roll we won’t get again was the Veggie Roll…which I’m ok with. I can’t wait to go back!!

Loved the fresh scallops! And uni. Good service. No yellowtail or albacore which is a little disappointing but the rest of the fish is fresh. Different kind of dynamite roll and wasn’t my favorite.

This place is good if you live nearby and need a sushi fix. Service was slow and they seemed overwhelmed on the night we went. Took a while for them to greet us. No seats inside so we were asked to sit in the sidewalk with sad looking furniture. Decor was nice inside. The food was ok. Won't be going back again. So many better options available.

My new favorite sushi place in North County. A must visit. We called ahead in the morning and left a voice mail for reservations. Received a call back by a very friendly person and they had room for us at the sushi bar. If you go here sit at the sushi bar and make sure you call ahead they were busy. We absolutely loved the environment, staff, service, and of course the fresh sushi. We ordered omakase (sushi chef's choice) and everything, I mean everything was amazing!! Go here you will not be disappointed. Pro tip, they do run out of sushi (goes to show how busy they are) so for the most variety you may want to go earlier rather than later.

I’m not usually one for leaving reviews but this place didn’t disappoint. We had a hankering for sushi in the afternoon, on a Saturday, during labor day weekend. We showed up at 5:15 with no reservations and hope in our hearts for a table, and the restaurant was already pretty much booked out for the night, with a space outside for us. In spite of the heat and humidity, we had an amazing time. The food was fantastic, the quality of the sushi for the price was perfect and the beer was nice and cold. Our waiter was super accommodating to my partner’s allergies, and gave us some phenomenal recommendations. We’ll definitely be back soon for the omakase option! If you’re considering eating here make sure to try and book a table, you won’t be disappointed!

The food was incredible. Like, amazing. I haven't had sushi often, but this was one of the best things I've ever tasted, especially the eel. One of the memorable restaurants I've visited.
