Really nice ambience here with both indoor and outdoor seating. Went for dinner and tried the Udon and a couple of sushi rolls. The sushi was solid — I had the Land Shark and Tropi Maki, both pretty tasty. The Udon soup was just okay for me, but it might be because it was my first time trying it. Overall, a good spot to check out.

Yummy food, great atmosphere, wonderful staff! It was my first time here today and I decided to try a new place for sushi. It was delicious, I HIGHLY suggest the Giyuniku Udon, and Holy Moly Maki!

We went with a group of seven. Easy to get a table since we called a bit ahead of time and the weather was wet. We ordered the big sashimi platter $140. It had a bit of everything, mostly salmon and tuna. Calamari, octopus, lovely sashimi wrapped up in cucumber, mackerel, little cucumber cups filled with tobiko. We enjoyed 6 or 7 rolls, all different, all good. Ended dinner with green tea ice cream and tempura banana w/ vanilla ice cream. Plenty of sake and tea. The server was attentive but not too much. We all had a good time. I recommend visiting Mobo, I will be back.
Well I went back with some friends. Last week. It was good again. Same kind of dinner as last time. Large sashimi boat, some rolls, sake n beer. The sashimi boat is not the cruise liner it was last time, same price, maybe a “sloop” now (photo 3). It was still pretty good though. We shared some rolls, they are smaller than last time too. We all had some of it. Service was ok, we had to ask for a second soy sauce and napkins for the table. Prices are up, portions are down, no surprise there. Probably go back.

We ordered via telephone with the intention of picking up our order. The nice woman said our order would be ready in 45 minutes. When we arrived in 50 minutes it was not ready. We were told it’s not ready. Long story short, we came back 3 times and finally got our order after 2 hours. It was apparent orders were not being completed in the order in which they were received. If you didn’t take a table, your order will be kicked to the curb. Another to-go group also had an extended wait time. They said they talked to the manager and received a $20 gift card. Based on my observations of the manager and hostess, I’m certain the manager knew about my situation. When I expressed my frustration to the nice hostess lady, she suggested I speak to the manager who was eyeing me from the bar but did not take the initiative to walk over to a disadvantaged customer. I declined to approach the manager because the thought of a gift card to an establishment that I have no urge to return to did not appeal to me.
I pre-paid during the wait on a $100 bill with a 20% tip. Note to self: Don’t tip until the full experience is fully realized.

Bad service. Party of three seated at a two person table. Entree served to one person 15 minutes before two other people got there food. Probably wont be going back.

I have to visit this place every time I come to Santa Cruz. The rolls are extremely tasty, and much simpler than many sushi spots (no deep fried rolls here).
I recommend the Sunrise!

They have a great variety of rolls at Mobo. The vegetarian gyoza was also good. We got our food in just a few minutes

A must-visit!
Cozy atmosphere with friendly staff.
The food here is top notch, from the traditional to the far-out, they have a transcendent experience in store for you!

I should be giving less than a 2, however, some of their food is good. I have given this place 4 tries now to see if it gets any better and it is just no good. Their food is decent, but definitely nothing to rave about and their service is terrible! It is sometimes mediocre, but last night was even worse than usual. Not friendly, walking away before we are done talking to the server, and at 2 different points in the night we couldn’t find our server and had to ask someone else to get her for us. There were tons of servers walking around and the place was definitely not full so I’m not even going to give them a benefit of the doubt and say that they were just really busy. This was a Monday night.
Then they added gratuity, so I guess there is no reason to have good service if they are getting their % either way.
I am always disappointed when I go here and I will not try it again. No matter how good the food is at a place, we need to have the experience with it.
Don’t waste your time or money. There is a reason that it is less expensive than a lot of other sushi places. You get what you pay for. Spend the extra money and go somewhere that treats you right.
