• Sushi • Oceanside
Booked 34 times today
Please call for reservations of 7+ (760) 453-2738 Founded in 2013 by Davin and Jessica Waite, Wrench & Rodent is a space for culinary exploration and collaboration. This cozy, eclectic restaurant quickly became a destination for those who appreciated Chef Davin’s creative approach to celebrating local and responsibly sourced fish and produce. In addition to a set sushi menu, Wrench offers an omakase as well as a list of specials that change daily. The team is committed to reducing waste and enhancing flavor by elevating all cuts of fish and veggies, as well as featuring a diverse range of species. Many menu items are simple, fresh and creative, with a lesser-known fish species complimented by ingredients from the backyard garden. Byproduct utilization drives the menu as well, and recent explorations with aging techniques have led to a dry aged fish program. Plant-forward preparations are also celebrated, and a vegan omakase is available upon request.

    I got the catch of the day, halibut on couscous in a delicious sauce, and spouse got the boneless ribs, melt-in-your-mouth tender and flavorful. All the food was scrumptious and warm. Beautiful atmosphere. Can get a little loud but not more so than most popular restaurants these days. The servers seemed genuinely friendly (on par with Trader Joe’s crew members) and I would rate them exceptional.

    Each dish was exceptional with a nice selection of drinks one would enjoy in a balmy evening in Barcelona.

    I made a reservation for my group of nine people, we were celebrating an important event for the family. I was pretty disappointed that the restaurant didn’t acknowledge the celebration. I wrote it in the reservation and I even told the hostesses when we walked in. I absolutely do not expect anything for free but a verbal acknowledgment would’ve been nice. My second complaint was that the noise level was really high, and it was next to impossible to hear anyone that was on the other end of the table. I think this place would be great for more intimate groups of four people or less. The food was really tasty and came out quickly. Our waitress was lovely even with some food allergy issues.
