As a follow-up to my recently published piece in San Diego Magazine on Sushi Yaro’s Lunch Bento Box, I wanted to provide a little more thorough review of the lunch options offered.
I had heard of various lunch offerings at Sushi Yaro through their tweets. I had no idea the extent of the offerings until I arrived. I was surprised and excited to see so many options, and immediately regretted not bringing more people along so that I could explore the entire lunch menu.
In addition to the lunch menu and the dinner menu, there was a board posted with live sashimi specials.
We both love toro, so we ordered the live toro. Mmm..pretty toro.
I was also very curious about the rice plates which are only $3.99! So we ordered a bbq beef plate.
On the plate was a large scoop of rice, a good helping of marinated beef and a gyoza. The portion may be a little small for some, but if you eat a lighter lunch, then it’s the perfect size. Plus you can always add something else to your meal, like a roll.
Here’s my bento box which I wrote about. There were so many items among the two items to choose from but I eventually settled with sashimi and vegetable and shrimp tempura.
The bento box comes with a miso soup.
It also comes with 4 pieces of either a spicy tuna roll or California roll. I chose the spicy tuna roll.
There is also a lunch deal on sushi rolls where you get to choose 2 cut rolls for $7.99. We were surprised when this huge plate was presented to us. It took up most of our table and was a little hard to photo. Though, I have to confess, I’m really pleased with this photo I took.
I love that the lunch specials are available seven days a week and until 2:30pm. I don’t work close enough to this area to stop by during the week, but now I can stop by more on my weekends.

Oh nice…really inexpensive! Maybe one day, I’ll get to visit Sushi Yaro.
Come visit!!
I definitely have to go here with my daughter. Those lunch specials are quite enticing!
I want to come back and try some of the noodle soups and more of the bento box options.
haha you’re just like me, I bring more only for the sole reason that I can order more variety! 😀
Haha. Yup. I invite my brothers along when I need more variety.
Thank goodness that plate was only $3.99 b/c it looks tiny! Does this place serve Korean inspired dishes? That beef looks like beef bulgogi or something.
This will definitely be a place I must try for lunch! How was the parking situation?
The parking lot is kind of small, but if you can’t find parking in there, there is usually parking on the side streets. In general, I don’t see a lot of Korean inspired dishes on the menu, but these rice plates appear to be the exception.
