Wrench and Rodent Seabasstropub

My favorite restaurant in oceanside and there is a growing list of amazing spots in this city. spectacular seafood and a good mix of veg/vegan options. try the omikase for full fireworks (available in seafood or vegan menu) or any of the nightly specialties. taste, creativity, detail everything is amazing. if they haven't eaten here, their taste buds would argue their criminals.

This is a very solid and seemingly popular sushi spot. Although I have not tried any of them, the daily special appetizers were quite unique and tasty. The sushi menu is specialized; it is small compared to most sushi spots, but they use unique shrimp/ sauces and flavors that you may not see in your typical place. Even the flavors of the restaurant were different from any other sushi place where I did (in a good way)! The hedgehog was excellent and more than one server said it was their favorite role; the subtle crunch, sprinkled with salt and garlic. I'll remember that for a while. The Green Lantern and salmon nigiri were both solid and high quality, but I expected a touch more excitement based on their descriptions. Wrench and Rodent mix culinary genius with fresh seafood and skillful preparation. Despite the Friday crowd, the service was extremely fast. Up from me!

SO SO SO has stolen the search for this place! As a vegetarian, most sushi restaurants usually only have veg roles for me, but this place had a role with tofu in it! It was absolutely delicious, I ordered the dead roll and Patrick the Great. Somehow it was my chair because it was so delicious. My bf ordered the rainbow and disappeared quickly. Shoutout to Ellie also for the wonderful service. Thank you kitchen staff for the great remedy, I cannot wait to come back!

What a hidden gem! We were not sure what to expect when we arrived. Decor was simple and customers were casually dresses. We all ordered Omokase and it was such a delightful surprise. All the sushi we had were fresh, deliciously prepared and portions were really generous. The swordfish bone marrow was a interesting texture and interesting to try. The only thing I would say I was not thrilled about with the sushi was the sushi rice, which were more like regular rice, not sushi rice. It was different. I also loved the scallop and coliflower dish- seasoned beautifully and cooked to perfection! There was plenty of food and the price was reasonable. This was such a lovely find and we will surely be back again.

I've come here a couple of times now and have done the omakase both times. It's $65 for 5 courses. This place is seriously great. It's creative and fun. You can tell the chef is super passionate about what he does. each piece of fish was delicious. will continue to come here when I'm in the area :
