“Very fresh and reasonable price! All the sashimi in the combination are classic types so it's really a good choice, and the sweet shrimp as an add on makes the whole picture of a good sashimi dinner! The rolls and the fried soft shell crab were also very good! Also their water seemed to be filtered and doesn't have the typical tap water taste so it's really nice. A very good dinner indeed!!“

“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! �“

“Food is absolutely delectable and service is excellent, this place is a must visit.
Ramen was tasty and rich, noodles also, robata beef was a great “side” but the biggest surprise was the orange chicken… tasted somehow light and super delicious with amazing smell.

Today most of the restaurants are mediocre (at best) but this place actually deserves a visit.“
