A Feast for the Senses
The meal begins with an impressive presentation of rolls, often garnished with fresh wasabi and pickled ginger. The freshness of the fish, particularly the tuna and yellowtail, is a highlight of the dining experience.
The service is awesome! They were on top of everything and very attentive despite it being a full house.
The food portions are good and everything tasted great.
I love the authentic Japanese decor including the tatami rooms.
So I guess the only problem is that this place is popular amongst the college crowd? The night we were there, there was a party of at least 16 college-age girls being loud and obnoxious in the tatami rooms. I’m not kidding when I say that I happened to have ear plugs and was so relieved that I was able to wear them during dinner, but I know other guests complained and asked to be seated away from them.
Aside from loud parties and lack of parking, this place is great!
Food wise, ROLLS HERE ARE AMAZING!!! Highly rec!! Tonkatsu was eh, little disappointed. But definitely try the rolls here!!
What really stood out, though, was the incredibly unfriendly service. Staff members were cold and unhelpful from the beginning. We had to ask multiple times before they finally unlocked the restroom for us, which felt unnecessary and uncomfortable.
Another issue was with the vegetarian options. Although the vegetarian dishes were supposed to include soup and salad, the soup clearly contained meat. When we asked if there was a vegetarian alternative, the response was rude and dismissive. No solution was offered, and we were made to feel like we were being difficult for simply asking.
Overall, for the price, you can find much better Japanese restaurants in Santa Barbara—both in terms of food and service.
