“Good morning ☀️🌞😃

A good way to know that a restaurant is fantastic is when you go back after 6 years and it’s just as good or even better.

I have been away traveling for a while and when I came back to visit my family this year my niece asked if I could take her out to eat sushi 🍱 🍣.

Without a doubt I knew that she would be able to learn everything necessary on what is best by having Steve take care of her.

He was on his day off however everyone else was on it 💯% and maybe even better than the boss man himself haha wink 😉.

Thank you 🙏🏼 for a fantastic culinary journey and catering to my niece, whilst teaching her the important fundamentals of the beautiful art of sushi.

“Good service and tasty food. My husband had the mixed tempura, and I had a delicious salad with pieces of tempura chicken. We shared the gyoza appetizer. Our server was attentive and friendly, the food came out promptly, and it was all very good.“

“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
At this point, there’s no going back. I go here at LEAST once a month. My personal favorite order is the protein roll, the miso soup and the cucumber salad which comes out to around $20+. Pretty macro friendly if you know what to get. There are so many options, and the food is presented very nicely. I’m a major introvert, so the fact that almost half of the seating there is booth seats is a huge A+. I might be overselling it a tiny bit because I love sushi and ramen, but this is a very solid restaurant. :)“

“Peter, Kevin, Ricky they bringing the service and the rolls. This is THE sushi spot in Santa Maria. Tell them Jesus sent you, they don’t really know who I am YET. But they will. Anywho sushi, sashimi, rolls, it’s all here. Pair it with some drinks and you have yourself the best sushi spot in Santa Maria.“

“Food is great, but service has been poor lately. The restaurant gets way too many To-Go orders to keep up with, which results in poor service to indoor customers who’ve waited 45 min or more from when they initially ordered their food.“

“Celebrated a special occasion here recently. Really lovely service and outstanding food and drink. Wonderful unfiltered sake. Got the motorcycle, tarantula, dragon and salmon delight rolls. All excellent particularly moto and salmon delight. Really great experience all around. Super friendly staff! Thank you!!“

“Very good sushi, great service!“

“We stopped by for a weekend lunch in order to get some last minute shopping out of the way afterwards. I got their barbecue chicken teriyaki bento special ($16). I should've split it with my friend as we both struggled to get through half of each of our bento orders. The bento comes with salad, steamed rice, miso soup, mixed tempura, and 4 pieces of a California roll. Luckily, the server had given our order packed to-go so I could easily take it back to the hotel and stick the leftovers in the fridge.

They have some seating indoors, but you can grab a table inside the mall if you're meeting up with others grabbing food from another eatery.

They're also right by one of the entrances from the parking structure, so not too hard to find.“

“Food is always amazing and extremely tasty. The waitress is super knowledgeable and extremely helpful, she is always super polite and remembers faces. But that could just be me because we go there a lot lol The food is comforting, the atmosphere is pleasant and calm. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant!“
