Best. Sushi. Anywhere. The biggest menu of varied and delicious sushi rolls, sashimi, hand rolls, salads, hot and cold dishes. Always busy and bustling with some good people watching. A personal fav.
Lea FuturoApril 28, 2014My fave sushi in Santa Barbara since their tiny space in Victoria Court, before moving to their grander spot on State St. Try the Yuppie Roll and Pro Roll! And ask for a chef's choice creation!- Aprille WrightDecember 30, 2014We went here for dinner and sat at the Sushi Bar. The food was magnificent and the service even better. The Sushi chef was fun and quick. We had a great time and would recommend this as #1.
Jett GalindoAugust 22, 2014Grab a seat at the sushi bar. Always fun to watch the busy sushi chefs artfully craft every sushi roll. Miso soup was filling and quite memorable.
AJune 10, 2015Another amazing CA sushi. Im a huge fan of Sugarfish in LA, but if you're into rolls this is the place! They have a long rolls menu- Trisha C.July 2, 2015Yellowtail Jalapeño Sushi Roll was amazing. The rice has sesame seeds which I really enjoyed.
- Social News NetworkAugust 12, 2013By far the best sushi in Santa Barbara! Only problem is you can't make a reservation so be prepared to wait a few minutes for a table
greg pJuly 12, 2015Don't be discouraged. They always say it's going to be 1.5 hours. We go across the street to get drinks at Good Lion and the phone rings in less than 30 minutes.
Flan TasticMarch 12, 2015Amazing toro. Definitely try the seared ahi tuna- seared and peppered ahi tuna topped with chopped mango
Remi MosandMay 3, 2012Amazing sushi, pretty in pink was my favorite! Friendly staff and nice prices. If you come to Santa Barbara you need to stop by here!- CHEN CHEWOctober 11, 2014The toger roll and tiger roll are my fav! Make sure you ask for chef's specials also!
Mike WippelSeptember 15, 2013This place is absolutely outstanding... Try the special rolls and nigiri. They serve amazing combination!
Crystal LongJanuary 16, 2014Fluke'n Crab - we ended up ordering it twice. Banzai Roll and Pacific Rim also worth a shot.
@HungryEditor Ben SetiawanOctober 16, 2012Fresh sushi. Let the chef bring you dishes omakase style & you won't be disappointed.
Miss ebeyln. Ask for rolls rolled in rice paper if u don't want seaweed. And get a dish of rice w aioli on side...incredible!
Tammy LounsburyNovember 27, 2012I really like the atmosphere... Very cool! And the sashimi plate is to die for!
Almost every single roll here is not only amazing but unique and absolutely satisfying.
Ryan McCuskerNovember 15, 2011Sushi was great. A little pricy for small rolls. But they were great. Def recommend
Sean SOctober 19, 2010Love the review on yelp: just because it's the best in Santa Barbara doesn't mean it's any good.
Dave SteinJuly 27, 2010Get the snake role. Fresh water eel on top of a California roll. It's amazing.
