“Never had a bad experience here, always great food, and my go-to food is the sushi burrito with salmon and tuna top-notch burrito. If I'm by Sushi Go-Go, I don't feel right not stopping by to get me a sushi burrito. The owner and his wife are great people who strive to give quality food...“

“Really enjoyed this sushi spot — everything was fresh and beautifully prepared. The rolls were flavorful and well-balanced, and the sushi tasted top quality. My favorite was the oyster and sea urchin combination shots — rich, briny, and super fresh! Great service and nice atmosphere too. Definitely a place I’d come back to for good sushi and creative dishes.“

“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! �“

“WOW!! This is the BEST sushi I've ever had!! Thank you to the local that directed me here!!“

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

“😋 Very Fresh sushi and huge variety“

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

“The food tasted good, its presentation overall was good but when I ordered a simple Tuna Roll 90% of it was cut well while the other 10% was a little messy and the second order of Tuna Roll did not have the excellent presentation as the one before.“

“Tried Santa Barbara Craft Ramen with a friend. I orders the black garlic ramen with chicken. It was absolutely delicious. Broth was very flavorful. Noodles were very tasty. Seasoned perfectly. We will happily be back. I also added an egg to mine which I highly recommend doing!“

“Our hotel recommended them and we LOVED the food and atmosphere here, the service was excellent too! My wife had the tonkotsu ramen which came with a healthy dose of pork shoulder meat which was very tender, seasoned egg, the noodles were firm and had texture when you bit into them and the broth was very tasty. We also had sushi - we tried the catepillar (eel) and the Dragon (shrimp twmpura with avocado!“

“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. :)“

“Excellent service the food awesome I recommend the playboy roll ❤️“

“We love this place and had yet another great experience! I was very impressed with Princeton who greeted us, confirmed our reservation, and was incredibly professional and friendly. He really elevated the experience for us!

My fiancée and I got their hibachi dinner with Fernando as our chef. He was excellent - our food was prepared wonderfully, everything was seasoned to perfection, and he was thoroughly entertaining!

Every time we are in town, we make a point to have a dinner night here because it is always such a good time with great food! It is a shame to see other negative reviews on here when we have never had a bad experience. We hope this place continues to thrive under Maria’s leadership and will be here for a long time to come! Can’t wait to go back!“
