19 Best Sushi Bars near Aptos

“We’ve always loved Akira, but recently their chefs have been taking their sushi game to a whole new level. Very delicious with big portions of food & we have yet to have a roll that we didn’t like. Highly recommend!“

“Service was wonderful, food was excellent. Special deal if it’s your birthday! Don’t worry, they don’t sing to you😂“

“I LOVE this place. The BEST ever!!!!“

“Incredibly good food. I got their Volcano roll, and it was to die for. We also got more of their traditional dishes, and they were equally as delicious. Definitely worth the stop, as it'll be on our regular list when we visit the area.“

“Best sushi in Santa Cruz. Most innovative rolls we have had in a long long time. We opted for the real seafood rolls as opposed to the vegan fish this time but I can't wait to go back and try those next. Great service, food and price. We will definitely go back for more...“

“was delicious and lots of choices on the menu. service was great.“

“The hamachi I had to night was incredible!!!!! Thank you!!!“

“We stopped in on October 11 during happy hour. Being from Michigan, we did not know what to expect. Our daughter, now an Aptos resident, said this was her favorite place for sushi. We could see why! The flavors and variety of items were excellent. Best of all was our server Isabell. She was great; friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Great food, great service. Thank you.“

“Visiting from out of town and my husband picked this place. As a studio Ghibli fan I loved the art on the walls. It was very creative and welcoming. We ordered rolls that were super good. The prices vary but I felt like they were affordable for a nice night out.“

“Kevin makes the best Sushi in Santa Cruz. We were bummed he closed his Scott’s Valley location but we followed him to the Capitola location. After having tried every Sushi spot in town I can confidently say Wasabi’s rolls are the best. The location is small and no frills but that makes the Sushi the focus. Must try if you love amazing sushi!“

“Wow, super surprised at how incredibly good this place is. Quality of the sushi flavors was similar to what you get at higher-end places. Way affordable for darn good sushi! Highly recommend this place! We got the Titanic, Santa Cruz, Salmon Skin and Lion (this order in the picture).“

“Great sushi cooked by the real Japanese sushi chef. Miso soup was really good and great sake selection. Highly recommended. サンタクルーズで日本人の握った美味しい寿司が食べれます。お客さんたくさんでした。“

“Amazing food and great staff! Their hand made Boba is the best I have ever tasted! Everything tastes very fresh. Does not disappoint. Owners help rescue homeless animals too!“

“I hadn't been here in awhile, it's still good, service good, nice atmosphere. Enjoyed the 3 entree lunch. Alot of food.“

“Amazing food! Friendly service! You’ve got to see the Waterfall at the bar on Friday and Saturday evenings. Sake bombs for everyone!“

“HIDDEN GEM Best ever! So you HAVE to give this place a try! Alex was our server tonight. She was excellent. Food was amazing. Prices fantastic. Choose over Akira all day long, no wait ... reservations for party larger than 4 but sushi bar is stellar!“

“It is a pleasure to go there. I start out at Kohl’s than visit Macys also new shops have opened. The Easter Bunny is there for the kids. I appreciate the Mall keep it open.“

“This is a great place with excellent sushi and great attention to detail. We normally do take out. However there is a large patio with tables behind the Octagon and I had lunch sitting in the sunshine.
The menu is very good and good selection including cooked and vegetarian rolls.“

“Very fresh sushi and for the price it's very good! Definitely recommend coming in“
