“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!!“

“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! �“

“The food is fine and the service is attentive at Ichiban. This is your basic strip mall sushi joint. The chicken teriyaki was better than the beef, but they were both good. The California roll was basic but it worked. The place was not busy, but our server was attentive and helpful. The decor is basic sushi restaurant. Nothing was bad, and nothing was memorable. We would return to Ichiban and give it another try.“
