“Probably one of the best if not THE best sushi I’ve ever eaten! My first time, and now I’m a lifelong customer!“

“A mí me gusta que me traten bien cuando voy a comprar algún lugar y en este lugar siempre lo hacen es algo por lo cual yo vuelvo, y la comida pues me encanta todo muy Rico“

“Sushi Teri has been a mixed bag of tricks their whole life. The food is great, comforting and delish. The service is mid, but what the hell. They can NEVER get the sushi bar food and kitchen food synchronized. Sometimes hot food first, then sushi then appetizers. No shits given, what comes out, comes out. When with a gathering of people it is a disaster of some eating, some waiting, some wondering if their order was even received. Again...WHEN it arrives it is great.“

“Commercial sushi resturant. Nothing interesting, nothing unique. Open mall style as well as open mall quality. Not sure if its chain or what, yet the entire working team seems to be non Japanese origin. Again nothing is wrong but also nothing is genuine .
If you are willing to fill your tammy amd move on you can try this place , if you are looking to have true sushi experience this is not the right place.“

“Awesome meal with the finest ingredients! Romantic evening with the wife.“

“This place is the Go-To spot for sushi.. always fresh and delicious 😋“

“😋 Very Fresh sushi and huge variety“

“I lived in SB my whole life up until 4 years ago and have been going to edomasa for near 30 years now. The food is incredible!! Santa Barbara offers many other sushi restaurants but none come close to comparing to edomasa. They are mostly too expensive, not fresh, extremely packed with tourists, etc. Edomasa is the real deal when it comes to a locals spot with even the famous that live there frequenting (they skip the fancy frills for quality too �)... Edomasa will always be my FAVORITE restaurant in SB! �“

“Wonderful, thoughtful, and kind. And great food! Pleasant atmosphere.“

“My girlfriend and I visited Hibachi Steak House and Sushi Bar by Something's Fishy on July 10th after making a reservation by phone.

My girlfriend has a life-threatening allergy to peanuts and nuts in genral, so dining at a new restaurant is always a stressful experience for us. Unfortunately, not every restaurant takes food allergies as seriously as they should.

From the moment we arrived, Amy went above and beyond to make us feel safe and welcome. She carefully guided my girlfriend through the menu, answered all of our questions, and made sure to communicate everything clearly to Chef Fernando. He did an excellent job, not only ensuring the meal was prepared safely but also putting on a fantastic hibachi show that made the evening even more enjoyable.

The food was delicious, the quality was excellent, and the prices were reasonable. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, and we would absolutely return if we ever visit Santa Barbara again. Hibachi always makes an ordinary dinner much more fun, and this restaurant delivered on both the food and the experience.

The only very minor criticism is that the chairs felt a little low compared to the height of the table, but that's a small detail in what was otherwise an outstanding evening.

If I could suggest two improvements, they would be to offer online reservations through the restaurant's website instead of only by phone, as this would make it much easier for customers to choose your restaurant. Secondly, staying open a little later could help attract more European visitors, as we tend to eat dinner later in the evening.

A big thank you to Amy and Chef Fernando for taking food allergies seriously and making us feel completely comfortable. It truly made all the difference. We highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Sushi Gogo is one of the few affordable sushi places left in Santa Barbara. It just happens to have one of the best views situated in the heart Of Santa Barbara Harbor.
I have been eating here for years. The owner Chris is just a fantastic guy.“

“Loved it !!“

“One of our weekly go-to spots! The sushi is always fresh and consistently great quality every time we visit. The Mesa Roll is a favorite along with the gyoza and eel avocado roll. We’ve been coming here regularly and have never been disappointed. Great food, great service, and a place we’ll continue coming back to!“

“Food with great service with great“

“I will admit I pretty much have only come here for the boba and have yet to try their food. But the boba is AMAZING. Their quality is very consistently good, both the drinks and the boba pearls themselves, which are always just sweet enough and chewy enough. Would recommend!!“

“We got Rainbow rolls, It so delicious! My friends recommended me here. she recently had wonderful service that she kept talking about her and the food yes! Yummy! taking care of us. She totally so sweet and makes us feel welcome. We will come back and bring more friends and family here for sure. :)“
