30 Best Sushi Bars in Bakersfield

“Ahi Sushi is easily one of our all-time favorite restaurants and definitely our most frequently visited. We’ve been here on packed Friday nights and on quiet Tuesday afternoons, and every single time, the experience has been nothing short of amazing.

From the spicy edamame appetizer to the complimentary miso soup, every bite is spectacular. What stands out most is the consistency. We’ve been here at least 10 times, and each visit has delivered the same exceptional quality and flavor. That level of consistency is rare and something we truly appreciate.

The service is also unique in the best way. Servers seem to work as a team. You might not have the same person bring your food or check in, but someone is always taking care of you. It’s clear the focus is on making sure the customer is always attended to, and it works beautifully.

Huge shout out to the cooks! Their attention to flavor and quality shows in every dish. And equally important, the cleanliness of both the restaurant and the bathrooms is always top-notch. That says a lot about how the place is run.

Ahi Sushi is one of the best spots in Bakersfield, hands down. Please never change a thing. We will continue coming again, and again, and again. This place has never failed us and truly deserves the title of hidden gem.“

“Been here before for Sushi but this is the first time for Teppanyaki. Very good. Must try“

“This is one of my favorite places to go in town~ They always have the friendliest staff and their food never disappoints! Their new yaki noodles and tazuna rolls are really great. I loved their tazuna roll because I got to build what I like in it, since I always have the hardest time choosing between what roll I want. Their tea is so refreshing to drink! I got the mango black tea and it was definitely the perfect thing to have in today's hot weather. Great place to go for a casual lunch or dinner :) <3“

“Their menu and their sushi is soooooo amazing. Everything is fresh and great prices. We try to stop there every time we are in Bakersfield. The service is great…very friendly. If you’re looking for amazing sushi…this is the place!!! 😋🥰“

“7/6/25 I so enjoyed my Beef bento delicious,sushi, salad so fresh our server was great Davy O I will for sure return, We were a party of 12 with 3 children they also loved it!“

“clean establishment. would definitely be going back“

“It says a lot when I like to stay budget and can still comfortably go here for a lunch break often.

The food quality has high standards, and the atmosphere is actually really nice for a downtown building. It still feels unique while keeping to neutral and abstract decorations.

Getting occasionally end-of-meal treats have always been so nice, especially with the occasional art pieces.

Definitely a quality experience that had me very surprised for how most other service restaurants behave today“

“Love Sushi Ko. I constantly take new people here to visit and they always love it. I sure do miss Shawn the old owner, I was told he was only visiting in Korea but he has never came back.“

“I went with my family of 11 yesterday and we had a great time we had the tempura roll and the mar y tierra roll the aguachiles and shrimp ceviche and every was pretty good like margaritas and micheladas were delicious too and my little liked the chicken tender and fries it is pricey so be prepared to pay the good stuff our waiter was amazing didn’t get his name but he talked Spanish and that’s always a plus“

“The food is always fresh to taste, tender, savory, crisp were needed and that Miso soup, is . . . DELICIOUS! 😋 The Bento dinner is very feeling along with sushi and the sashimi rolls.“

“easily the best ramen place in Bakersfield“

“Excellent food, fast and friendly 😊👌“

“I had ordered some rolls and spicy pork meal and don't regret everything was amazing and great portions for rolls other places are very limited. I had to take one home. And after they offered this amazing dessert not everyplace does that ! Will be back very soon !“

“Hands down 🙌 this is the best poke bowl location in town!!!“

“This place is INCREDIBLE! the service was great and the owner even made me a special Aguachile with his homemade sauce and chitlepin chiles! It was hands down the most savory and tasteful aguachiles I’ve ever had. Highly recommend! Was passing through from Ridgecrest but I can’t wait to go again!!“

“I f I enjoy the chicken teriyaki tempura bento box everything I tasted was good it tasted delicious as well as the egg rolls that were crispy. Listen to great place to bring your kids and your family to relax have some good Japanese food and just sit back only Friday or Saturday night“

“I live close to Umi so I go in a few times a week for the Umi Special. My family and I go in at least once a month and my kids LOVE sushi! When I take them, its definitely not a cheap dinner. we spend just under $200. I order the same thing every time for the special. This last time I went in the chef refused to make the change I always ask for. I'm just not a fan of spicy tuna so I ask to switch out the spicy tuna for spicy crab. this one particular chef just wouldn't do it. That's fine, but I feel like it should be equal across the board. It's not right as a loyal customer I have been ordering the same thing for SO LONG, and then one guy just didn't feel like doing it. A little disappointing but oh well. I came to Jin instead :)“

“7/6/25 I so enjoyed my Beef bento delicious,sushi, salad so fresh our server was great Davy O I will for sure return, We were a party of 12 with 3 children they also loved it!“

“Awesome, the food is fresh and well presented, great service and value.“

“Great food very polite staff.Makes you feel like family every time you go.“

“It's my favorite place to have sushi. Prices and staff are great“

“Luis , a teppanyaki cook was very entertaining, enthusiastic and food was awesome!“

“I tried sushi from grocery stores like WinCo and didn't really like it, but I heard about this place and gave sushi a 2nd chance and tbh (tbh= to be honest) I liked the sushi there, the chopsticks were kinda hard to use but a staff member gave me another set of chopsticks that were much easier, I'm now keeping those chopsticks as a souvenir“

“Fantastic food, setting, and the service is great. Everything came right out quickly and correctky, and the server tonight (9 Jun) is just on top of it all.“

“I ordered takeout - 2 rolls, garlic edamame, and gyoza. The rolls were very fillings, and everything was delicious! My only critique is that the Salmon Killer and Volcano rolls could have really used some avocado inside the rolls to boost the flavor. They both had a lot of crab in the center, but it just felt like something was missing. I will say, I completely inhaled the rolls regardless! I would definitely eat here again!“

“We have been there twice and will return. I have a question??? My sister asked me if the tips were already Incorporated in the bill? I told her I didn’t know but I have always made sure they received a tip. Could anyone answer the question so I can pass it on to her. Thanks“

“Great service and delicious food“

“Kamisama Ramen is a must-visit for any ramen lover. The ramen is incredibly flavorful, with a rich broth that perfectly balances all the ingredients. Speaking of ingredients, they are always fresh, adding to the overall quality of each dish. The portions are generous, ensuring you leave satisfied, and the prices are very reasonable, offering great value for the quality and quantity you get. I’ll definitely be back to try other food options. Highly recommended!“

“What a wild place. The bar stools are torn up, doesn’t look like anything has been replaced or upgraded in about 15 years. They have no spoons because they all got stolen?? With all that said we had a blast! The food was great, our chef was maybe newer? He didn’t have all his tricks down but he was fun and funny. I think he put about 5lbs of butter in our food but it sure did taste good. There were flames all over from the shows so it did get very hot. The servers were beyond nice, true hospitality. I was very surprised at how good everything by was given the first appearance of the restaurant.“

“Awesome Ramen! Great tasting broth“
