This place is a gem. Best happy hour menu in the area. Spotless environment. Kind staff and lovely ambiance. I highly recommend sitting at the bar with Luis. RUN, do not WALK! Just like other reviews said, this place will ruin other Japanese restaurants for you. You have been warned. The FISH is so super FRESH.

I enjoyed the Chefs Tasting Menu during restaurant week and left feeling so satisfied and happy. Chef Ethan was there making sure things were perfect but his staff were absolutely rocking all departments. I loved my margarita and lychee martinis. Really enjoyed all the dishes that came out, but the King Ora Salmon sashimi stole the show for me as well as the ***yuzu sauce*** with Rock Shrimp Tempura on top. The Bluefin was truly spectacular. I can’t eat at crappy sushi places no mo’!

Thank you, Glass Box! Please give Luis a raise!

From the very first bite, this place makes it painfully clear they are not here to play. Every piece of sushi was impossibly fresh—the kind of fresh that makes you pause mid-chew and question every other sushi experience you’ve ever had. The fish was so tender it practically melted in your mouth like butter, rich, clean, and perfectly balanced.
And here’s the part that really sets this spot apart: it’s not just heaven for seafood lovers. The wagyu is on another level—luxuriously rich, silky, and cooked to absolute perfection, delivering that melt-in-your-mouth magic all over again. Even the chicken options are standout—juicy, flavorful, and handled with the same care and precision as the fish. Whether you’re not into seafood, easing into it, or just want the best of both worlds, you’re completely covered here.
Perfectly seasoned rice, pristine ingredients, and that quiet confidence only truly great restaurants have. Nothing flashy for the sake of it—just elite quality across the board. This is the kind of meal you think about later that night… and then start planning your next visit.
If you love sushi—or just incredible food in general—this isn’t just a recommendation. It’s a must.

First Sushi I had after returning from Japan, so my standards were raised and glass box delivered. I was more than happy with the yellowtail carpaccio and the sashimi lunch plate was fantastic. Good prices for lunch and the area. I would come back if I was in Del Mar and I wanted to treat someone to an elevated spot.

First time visiting. Ordered from restaurant week menu. Attentive service. Flavors were spot on. I didn’t order sushi though so can’t speak to those items but the food I did order I have nothing bad to say. My friend ordered options with seafood and had no complaints.

Our apps and sushi were amazing!!!! Miso fish way over done though 🙁 scallops were good but again over done. It was a busy restaraunt week menu so maybe that was the issue. Nevertheless we will go back for sure. Fun date night!

Overall nice place. Service was five ⭐
Food was great. Vegetarian tempura, egg roll and drunken noodles are some items you can ask for if you are vegiterian. Great selection of drinks as well.

We didn’t realize Happy Hour ran from 2–6 PM, so when we arrived at 5 PM for an early dinner, we were pleasantly surprised to find $1 oysters and discounted rolls on the menu.

Service was attentive, and the sushi and sashimi were fresh and flavorful. The poke nacho sauce was too sweet for my taste though.

The only odd part was our seating. The restaurant is fully enclosed in glass, and our table was pushed right up against it—with another table directly on the opposite side. It almost felt like we were dining with the other party, separated only by a thin sheet of glass, which was somewhat amusing more than bothersome.

Great staff and I enjoyed the happy hour and the food as well. It may have been a bit cramped but it is called the glass box. I shall return to try other establishments. The building itself seems like it has so much to offer.
