Used to be a top place but now fish is mushy, rolls not tightly wrapped. Very disappointing.

I decided to give Sun Sushi another try and ordered takeout. I ordered two miso soups, with a side of rice, cucumber salad, three different rolls, and a cheesecake. The miso soup was very lacking in flavor and the tofu was too firm for my liking. The cheesecake was dry- I originally asked if they had mango, to which the employee at the door said yes, but then returned saying they did not, after I had already been charged. I opted for the green tea cheesecake, and it was interesting, but very dry and crumbly. The cucumber salad is expensive for what it is ($7 for half a cucumber cut in slices). The sushi was really good. If I were to go again, I would only order sushi and skip out on everything else. Total cost was $70.19.

This place gets busy very fast, make a reservation or get there as soon as theyre open! We gave it a try because it was close by and love sushi! It is expensive from what I'm used to and the portion sizes are also small. But the food still tasted amazing and was filling. I reccomend ordering sushi along side one of their meal options, such as the teriyaki chicken or beef. The miso soup was delicious.

Totally delicious! Visiting from AZ and the restaurant was right by our hotel, picked it out of convince but it was fantastic! A little on the more expensive side, but you pay for the quality you get. Staff was incredibly fast and friendly despite it being busy. Speaking of, get there early! The good food draws a crowd!

The only restaurant open on Christmas Day—truly a lifesaver for travelers. The food was fresh and delicious, the service was attentive, and the atmosphere was quiet and comfortable. Highly recommended!

Excellent meal. Very high quality sushi. Thankful we made a reservation- very crowded even on a Tuesday night which says a lot for its popularity! We ended up sitting at the bar which we like to do. Would recommend the spicy crunchy Tuna app. All of their rolls seem very tasty- we had a hard time choosing. We ended up with State Street, Red Dragon, spicy scallop (a little too much mayo, but still delicious), and salmon 6 step.

Food was good but definitely saw some inconsistently from visit to visit. Service is also a hit or miss. The servers have completely forgotten an item more than once.
The sushi is good but play accordingly if ordering takeout/pick up. It’s usually late.

Sun Sushi in Santa Barbara has great friendly service and some tasty dishes. I really like the Aji, Saba,Toro, Yellow Tail, Kurodai, and seared Halibut fin. The uni shooter with quail egg was flavorful and a nice starter to a delicious lunch. Always follow the chefs advice, and you won't go wrong. I'm looking forward to next time!
First time we came here it was good, the rolls were a good size and yummy. Second time we came the rolls were noticeably smaller and we left disappointed since there was barely any fish inside. We decided to give the restaurant a third try, we ordered both regular and special rolls and they were once again very small and had small amounts of fish inside. Just not worth it anymore so we won't be coming back unfortunately.

I have eaten here SEVERAL times and I’m very disappointed by the lack of food I received for this meal. I spent $45 and these are the smallest pieces I’ve ever seen in my life. I’ve always made this my spot but I feel these get smaller every time and I’m extremely disappointed.
