The area is beautiful, the place is nice, our waitress was great and attentive. I felt the prices were quite high given the portion sizes, but we have enjoyed everything we got. I loved the eggplant stir fry and the tempura – the veg selection in the tempura mix was so great! And, I had a veggie roll. One of the best veg rolls I have had in a long time! Loved it!

Shimbashi Izakaya was such a treat! Everything was fresh and delicious:
Assorted nigiri appetizer
Miso soup
Lobster salmon roll
Halibut nigiri
California roll with real crab
The shaded outdoor patio with ocean breeze is perfect, and inside feels like a traditional Japanese spot. Staff were amazing and so kind. Can’t wait to come back!

Food is amazing quality. It’s a little pricier but totally worth it. Parking is only validated for an hour. I loved the oyster shots and the rolls with wasabi! If you like wasabi it’s worth it!

I came here in August with my friend for a 1:00 PM lunch on a Saturday, first time here. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor patio seating with a nice view. The patio was fairly busy. We were able to get the last table for 2 in the shade. The hostess/server, Kyoko sat us and took our drink order. She was very rushed, but still attentive, maybe understaffed? The poor women was running all over the place.
We ordered a couple beers along with Sea Urchin, Yellowtail, Tuna, Salmon, Eel, Masago with Quail Eggs Nigiri, and a Fried Soft Shell Crab appetizer. All the sushi was fresh and presented well. The quality of the fish was very average as compared to other Del Mar competitors, but for the prices which was very reasonable it was good. Take note, my favorite part of the meal was the Soft Shell Crab appetizer…that was fantastic. I could of eaten a whole appetizer myself! I would definitely come back for lunch.
Atmosphere: nice, great patio. Service: good. Food: good (I would come for lunch only)

So nice to try this Japanese restaurant out in Del Mar. This place has an amazing ocean view. It is really really popular. I have to say the service is extremely slow, that makes me almost give a 4 star, but I can tell they really need more staffs. The waitress is nice, she really tried hard to make everyone has service. But it is super slow…. We waited over 30 minutes to place our food order. Gladly the foods came to our table not too slow. And all the foods are very delicious. I love their menu, you can get almost anything that you want from a Japanese restaurant, even including sukiyaki hotpot and grilled beef tongue. I was craving for cold soba noodles, and I enjoyed my food. I just hope they can hire more staffs soon.

A very decent Japanese restaurant. Their food was not only tasty but the garnishing looked great as well. Each dish was very delicate. We ordered several dishes and I liked the beef tongue the most. The service was very nice and the atmosphere was pleasant.

Extremely delicious Sushi. The environment was great. Wonderful service. Glad we found this spot as it will be our go to sushi place moving forward. And the sunset during dinner was to die for.

I was craving some sushi & found this spot awhile ago while I was in Del Mar. They have one heck of a happy hour menu. Some of the popular dishes are $5! I wanted to try some veggie items along with some fish / chicken dishes & they had a wide range of options.
I got the veggie gyoza to start. Very good. The veggie inside was a bit bland but the actual wonton was delicious. Add some hot sauce and it was just fine! The chicken was perfectly cooked & tasted great. The yellowtail with jalapeño was fresh. Would definitely order this again when I come back! The seaweed salad & smashed cucumbers were SO GOOD. I cleared every plate here real quickly lol.
I got mochi for dessert, you get 2 for $6. The strawberry & mango are so yummy. The mango was definitely my favorite!
You really can’t go wrong with a delicious spot with great prices & services. They also have a view of the beach from the outside seating! So it’s all around a great spot for your next dinner 🙂

I stopped by some Shimbashi Izakaya for a beer and sushi after work today.
Parking was super easy as it was mid week, and I easily got a table. During summer and weekends, it’s almost impossible to find parking and makes it harder to get to the restaurant.
The sushi was really delicious, and tasted very fresh, they also had ice cold beer. The sushi rolls were OK.
There’s some good prices from 5 to 6 PM for happy hour, and have a large selection of sushi and appetizers and rolls to choose from.

This is truly an excellent place for food and atmosphere. If you’re thinking of going on a romantic date, this is a great place to go. Also, the vegetarian and vegan options were endless!
