As soon as you walk in the door you get this big stinky fish smell which the owner should know better. Next, we ended up spending $410 and barely got any sashimi. The prices are outrageous, total rip-off!
We’re from Los Angeles in Korea town & we know what the fish prices are like!… Remember, there was no prices on chef sashimi special plate & we asked the chef if he can give us a “Chef’s Sashimi Special” with a reasonable price, we ended up with a glass bowl with some mediocre pieces of sashimi and didn’t think that we’re gonna be charged so much. When we saw the check, we almost fainted!….wopping $410!… For instance, 2 little round pieces of scallops were $36…..that’s outrageous! We talked to the chef if he could charge a little less but he stared at us with this dirty look and said “You pay for this!” I’ll never forget that face ever…. It was disgusting! We’re never coming back here ever again!

The food here is amazing! Went today and had the black cod off the specials menu, along with some crispy rice with salmon, tempura veggies, and waygu bbq. One of my favorites is seeing Teru there knowing he’s putting that amazing fresh food out for us. His regular menu is so good and the specials he has behind the sushi bar is top tier stuff. We’ll be back again and again!

The cold and eat appetizers were very tasteful. I will come back for the Hamachi collar without a doubt! After visiting Japan 2months ago, we didn’t taste the freshness and flavor of the nigiri sushi. The staff was friendly. Unfortunately, the atmosphere did not meet our expectation a for a Japanese dining experience. A more serene and authentic environment would greatly enhance the enjoyment of the meal.

Five stars all the way! We ordered off the specials board and enjoyed some fine sake. The food was outstanding, as was the service. Teru San accommodated our wishes to have three pieces of each (since three of us were dining together and wanted to eat the same food). I love that this place has the small vibe of a sushi restaurant in Japan. It’s also covid safe with tables set far apart from each other and high ceilings. I’m looking forward to my next visit!

Chef Teru is from Osaka and puts so much love into his food. Not only is this the most authentic sushi in Santa Barbara, but also some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. Highly recommend ordering omakase.

Good selection of fresh fish on the daily menu. Plenty of specials too. They have plenty of local uni dishes including whole fresh uni. There’s a selection of good sake to go with the fresh seafood. Food is a 5 star for variety and freshness. The beige plates don’t show off the food enough and it’s hard to see the daily specials menu board from some tables. I wish they have a couple more copies on the walls. The daily fish selection is excellent!

Very fresh toro, uni and other things. Great combination and tastes for all things we ordered. Loved the toro hand roll trio, uni on toro and lots of other things.
We went on NYE. Like others mentioned, the restaurant seems to be a small family business (seemingly Japanese family), while they seem to be really nice and kind, it does seem a bit short on help when it gets crowded – you’d be patient. I will go again for their really authentic and delicious food!

The BESSSSSSST Sushi… not just in California, but (at the risk of sounding like Elle Woods)… like, EVER!
The freshness, the flavors, the sauces– AMAZING! There’s so many options for a variety of preferences… for the pure sushi lover who just wants the simplicity of sashimi, or the “deck the halls” sushi lover who wants everything piled on top of that little roll of love, you can’t go wrong.
Not to mention, Teru himself is the best. He creates a friendly and comfortable environment to enjoy delicious, fresh and often local options to make up a memorable dining experience. If in Santa Barbara, this is a must go, “treat yo self” spot!

Highly recommend dining here! Some of the best sushi I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a lot )
Food: 10/10. Here’s our standouts:
– bluefish trio (special) melts in your mouth. So fresh!
– oyster uni (special) one of the best things we’ve ever eaten!
– baked eggplant
– toro taku roll: toro + uni
– welcome roll: topped with salmon and a basil truffle oil. So good!
Overall, I don’t think you can go wrong with anything in the specials menu. It changes each day with what’s fresh!
They also have a rotating sake on their specials menu, which is fun to try new ones!
