“Absolutely loved Yoichi's. Can't recommend highly enough! The Central Coast dining scene needs more variety and high-quality options - Yoichi's is definitely pulling its weight. The owners are super friendly and passionate, many of the ingredients are flown in from Japan, and the Kaiseki itself was beautifully executed, from preparation to presentation. Will be back!“

“We went and got a variety of specialty rolls and one of the specials (seared yellow tail with jalapeño). We also got the spicy edamame as a start and it was fantastic! I liked the variety and the rolls were great. My one complaint was that the spicy (fiery roll) wasn't very spicy! I could have used more spice in the spicier rolls but I added wasabi and it was delicious.“

“Some of the best sushi I've ever had the pleasure of tasting. Pro tip: Sit at the bar and watch as the chefs freshly prepare your meal. The flavors are truly out of this world. I still dream about this plate! Extensive sake selection to choose from. Quaint interior and large exterior patio seating area. Definitely in the ranks for best sushi in town.“

“All around an awesome restaurant! The food is amazing, the portion size is good, the service is awesome and fast, the atmosphere is comfortable for couples or large groups! Loved the Spicy Albacore Salad and we got a Summer Freash Roll that isn't on the menu but worth asking for! So delicious!“

“Excellent Japanese food option while in SB. Reasonably priced, food came out quick, wait staff was attentive, and the outdoor seating area was comfortable and nice. We ordered a 2 item bento and about 5 rolls. The only weird thing was it's the first time in my 40+ years where I had to cut my own steak and chicken at a Japanese restaurant. In any part of the world. Japan, US, etc. Not a deal breaker, because it still tasted good.“

“This restaurant is not typical Japanese restaurant. There is no sushi menus however, you can enjoy authentic Japanese original dishes that are not on the menu of other restaurants. The owner-chef is Japanese and has over 40 years of experience. The foods taste is reliable!“

“I love this place! Been going here since I was a little kid. High quality food at a good price point. Would definitely recommend getting the love boat if you are wanting to try a lot of kinds of fish. I’ve had a lot of sushi in my life and I can certainly say that this is a great option.“

“Excellent takeout. We ordered over $100 worth of food and it was all great. Chick teriyaki was good quality and arrived hot. All the rolls were fresh and made well. The service was top notch. They listened to all the special requests. We will order again.“

“Had dinner here last night, and was completely impressed! I wanted just about everything on their menu, which offers all sorts of options. The entire menu felt healthy and fresh, with lots of fresh salads. I ordered the green salad, which had a peanut dressing instead of the traditional carrot miso dressing, and it was lovely and fresh, with papaya and tomato on top. We ordered shrimp tempura rolls which were perfectly lightly crispy on the outside, not overly battered. The yellowtail sushi was fresh and delicious. The miso soup had a much nicer "umami" flavor than any other I've had in town. And to finish it off, we had freshly made Japanese donuts, served piping hot - ahmazing! Overall, the best sushi dinner I've had in Santa Barbara so far. Five stars, and we'll be back soon!“

“Literally obsessed!!! Made a last minute stop for dinner on a road trip one Saturday night and stumbled upon this place! Had so many unique amazing options on the menu! Tried as much as my stomach could handle!!! I can't wait to come back and try all the things I missed! It was an explosion of flavor with each dish, I can't even explain it! Make this a stop!“

“Who doesn't love some great Hibachi? Literally a dinner and a show! Although I don't come here often it is always a nice treat as they serve some amazing friend rice. The service is great for the chaos that Hibachi can be and the wait is always worthwhile in my opinion.“

“This is a nice traditional Japanese restaurant located at the high traffic corner of las positas and state. There is ample parking in their free lot. The food is decent. I usually just get sushi when I go. I prefer the shrimp tempura and the Hawaiian roll. One cool aspect is having dinner in one of the rooms. They are better than some of the other rolls I've tried. All in all I think there are better sushi options in town. This one is just ok. I love sushi, but I don't come here very often.“

“We had Omakase with sake pairing. The dishes were great from the beginning to the end. For me, I enjoyed all of the dishes. Chef Scott was professional, attentive, and friendly. He explained dish in detail clearly. The service was impeccable. The ambiance was perfect! Great experience overall! I can't wait to come back next season to see what chef Scott come up with.“
