Best Asian Restaurants in Cardiff By The Sea

Lovely place - I wanted Thai or sushi and got both! Meanwhile hubby wanted a steak, and we both won!!

Fun vibe, great ambience and eclectic and delicious menu. Great for brunch!

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff greeted us with genuine smiles and were incredibly attentive throughout the evening. Every dish we tried was absolutely phenomenal—beautifully plated, full of flavor, and made with obvious care and quality ingredients. The chef clearly knows what they’re doing. Special shoutout to our server, who gave great recommendations and made us feel right at home. Whether you're celebrating something special or just want a great meal, this place is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Everything was so good! Great food, service, cool ambiance. Would definitely recommend!

I recently moved from Los Angeles so I've had incredible sushi experiences and have been lucky to befriended some of the best Sushi Chefs in Southern California. As I transition to San Diego a lot of the highly-rated Sushi places on Yelp have largely been focused on Sushi Rolls (nothing wrong with that) but personally for myself the best experience is usually the opportunity to engage the sushi chefs at the sushi bar and listen to how the sushi was prepared vs getting a tray of sushi that needs wasabi and soy sauce. To each their own but I can say that if you want a true sushi dining experience then Boto Sushi Del Mar provides that. It is a cute little restaurant and one of the longest sushi bars I've seen outside of Nobu or Roku. I had Omakasa by Chef Gary and everything was close to perfection with a variety of different dishes aside from the core Nigori sushi and some Sashmi. Each dish was delivered individually and explained how it was prepared by either the Chef or by the great staff. Enjoyed my first real exploration of Sushi in North County and will be back.
