Rosewood Kitchen

Loved everything about this place! The owner Joshua was very nice and interactive.
He explains the menu with a lot of detail so you know exactly what you are getting.
I got the filet mignon fried rice and the flavors were amazing! I think the price to portion ratio is the best part! They are not stingy with the meat and I appreciate that.
The overall portion was perfectly filling for one person.
I finished my plate and was very satisfied.
I will definitely be back to try more!

We wanted to go for Korean BBQ but the wait was too long and this restaurant had been on our "must-try" list, so we came here instead! I reserved a table but honestly we didn't need it.
At 6 pm on a Saturday night, this place was not super busy.
Also, don't let the name deceive you.
Rosewood Kitchen is an Asian restaurant.
Our server was nice and friendly but a little harried. We got the fried chicken karaage and Katsu as well as the steamed dumplings.
The karaage was my favorite, followed by the Katsu and the dumplings equally.
For the mains, we got a house special Tonkutsu which seemed to be the combination of miso and black garlic, the back garlic Tonkutsu, the garlic noodles with fillet mignon and the fried rice with chicken Katsu.
For dessert, we got the green tea ice cream.
I tried two of their house special cocktails (sangria and sake) and I hated them both. The soups were wonderful but I definitely enjoyed my friend's black garlic one more than my own house special.
The fried rice and garlic noodles were excellent and I think I will go for one of those options in the future. Price wise, it is on point for an Oceanside eatery.
We sat outside with at least 2 heaters on an April evening, so I'd recommend sitting inside if you get chilly quickly.

If you’ve never been to Rosewood Kitchen, I recommend it! Seems to be family owned and ran, from an awesome Father - Son combo! It’s Japanese Comfort food, and it is DELICIOUS! Very reasonably priced for todays day and age too lol Everything about this place is amazing.
If you get the opportunity to chat with the Owner, I highly suggest it, he’s a people person that loves to put his all into each one of his customers & it’s cause of that (and the delicious food) that my wife and I will be returning customers 😁👍👍
