My boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary here and we couldn’t be more pleased! The staff was so warm and welcoming. We were a little overwhelmed with all the options on the menu and our server Dylan gave us amazing recommendations. We went with almost all of them and were so happy with them. The food was fresh, inventive, and delicious! Get the Hedgehog Roll, thank me later. The hostess was lovely as well! We’ll be back.

The food & service is excellent. Gabe & Reira took great care of us and the atmosphere was very welcoming. We ordered an assortment of rolls and specials that were all delicious. All the fish was extremely fresh and paired well with their respective plates. Its hard just to pick a few, but our favorites were the Hedgehog Roll, Baked Scallops, and Kanpachi. Will definitely be coming back for the delicious food & great people!

This place has the best sushi in north county San Diego that I’ve ever had. I did omakase and was not disappointed. Every dish was better than the last. I lost count of how many dishes were brought for us to try. The ceviche was creative and I loved the little pieces of apple in it. The yellowtail was beautifully done and I loved the local heirloom tomatoes they added to the plate. The cauliflower was creative and had the best flavor. The green lantern roll was my favorite but I also loved the hedge hog roll. The service was superior and my table was constantly surprised with the next dish to try. I would definitely recommend this place. I sat out front and it was a beautiful evening. I do recommend a reservation as it gets busy. I can’t wait to go back.

Celebrated my husband’s birthday here and the food was great. We both got specials and shared nigiri and it was all great. I also loved the Wrench 75 cocktail, it was done properly and tasted amazing. The second one I had with a rosemary sprig and it was awesome. Highly recommend this place for a special occasion if you like seafood!

The absolute best sushi restaurant in Oceanside! The staff is amazing, the food is stellar and the atmosphere is cozy. We had the pleasure of eating here twice while visiting the area and wished they were open Monday and Tuesday to enjoy once more. Our waiter, Giovani, and waitress, Reira, were beyond phenomenal. 10 out of 10 recommend! Do not pass up the opportunity to enjoy the experience here!

Unique, creative, fresh, and sustainable culinary experience. Non-traditional sushi with local and seasonal flavors. Davin is an artist. I’ve been coming here for years and the fish is always incredibly fresh and the service is top notch. Feels like family.

This is a great place to go to for a cool vibe and interesting dishes. Everything we ordered was really good. If you’re looking for more traditional type sushi dishes and rolls, then it will be challenging but the chef was open to making slight adjustments when we asked (specifically for the kids).

I dined at Wrench and Rodent in Oceanside yesterday, and it was truly unforgettable! The food was exquisite, showcasing a brilliant blend of flavors.
We sat under a beautiful fig tree outside, which added to the charm of our experience. Our server, Reirá Rose, was a gem—attentive and friendly, plus a talented poet! Her passion for food and art made our evening even more special.
I highly recommend Wrench and Rodent for an unforgettable culinary adventure!
