About

Fish Boon in Carlsbad's Bressi Ranch district is a Japanese restaurant from the team behind Gami Sushi, which has operated in San Diego's Carmel Valley since 2007. The concept opened in August 2024 inside The Square at Bressi Ranch on Gateway Road, taking over the former Ebullition Brew Works space and joining the open-fire dining anchor Campfire on the Armada Drive corridor. The Asian-owned kitchen applies the sourcing standards developed over Gami Sushi's 17-year run to a menu spanning nigiri, signature rolls built with real crab rather than surimi, Japanese tapas, ramen, and poke bowls. A heated patio hosts live acoustic sets on weekends, and the full bar pours sake, Japanese beer, and California wine alongside the Bressi Ranch dinner crowd that also fills Luna Grill Bressi Ranch on the same Gateway Road stretch. Specialty omakase-style chef's selections rotate daily based on whole-fish deliveries from West Coast purveyors, with each piece cut to order rather than pre-sliced from a display case.
