Love the unique rolls. We liked the Veggie King Kong roll, Godzilla roll. They were all very good, Convenient parking underground

So, here's the thing, dry noodles need to be boiled to be reconstituted. Think those Ramen noodle brick packages or styrofoam bowls you make them in. No one eats them when the water is too hot (boiling), but hot water is necessary to go from dry to edible. Ok, so the present situation at this place. Went in for a quick bite before a show. The broth was too hot to eat and the noodles were as described above, reconstituted also too hot but I managed to blow and cook them enough. Burnt my tongue unfortunately. Disappointed to say the least.My thought is the restaurant could make the noodles and the broth separately. In other words add the noodles to broth that's not boiling hot and inedible. It's actually what Japanese Ramen joints do (and those are fresh made noodles).I gave a 4 because unless there's a health violation level issue, i don't like to hurt a business with a terrible rating. This fast casual restaurant serves sush, which, as the name of the restaurant suggests, is their main, and I didn't choose sushi so can't speak to how good those dishes are. Ramen is just a menu choice, it's not a Ramen place. Plus, listen restaurants do the best they can. The place is clean and the service is good. Low rating for a review over my experience could hurt a restaurant unnecessarily. Take what you will from my review. Maybe order something else? Or the restaurant could make the adjustment after considering my thoughts.

Udon and ramen manufactured from instant 50 cents cups- chicken quality terrible - mostly cartilage. Sorry i do not recommend this place for good food. Water machine broken do you have to pay 3 dollars for a water bottle and no bathrooms. They send you to the public bathrooms far away which are extremely crowded . Avoid.

On vacation in Santa Barbara staying at a nice hotel. Ordered 3 rolls of sushi, it arrived to our surprise, without chopsticks or soy sauce. I don't mind using my fingers or fork, but I'm not a fan of eating sushi without soy sauce. Long story short it went in the trash. Thanks guys.

Very friendly welcome. Very good preparation. We ate outside in a very nice musical atmosphere.

In the evening we went to explore Santa Barbara's shopping mile and missed these little shops. Food was delicious. Good value for money. The service was particularly great. All in all a nice dinner

The quality of the product and care that goes into the preparations has fallen off a cliff. This was a go-to spot for us a bit recent experiences has us searching for a new sushi joint to order from.The veggie roll tasted like they used expired food to make it and the tuna topped roll we normally order went from a nice slice of fish to gritty ground tuna smothered in mystery sauce atop flavorless rice.Whatever changes were made to ingredient procurement and staff please change back.

I had a bad tyme at sushi tyme. My obviously packaged ramen was served with a two week old hard boiled egg. The whole experience reminded me of the weekend I spent in county jail, as the menu was identical.

Totally mediocre sushi with a totally mediocre vibe. Casual and relaxing but obviously the quality here is debatable. I will say that the outdoor seating and informal vibe is a big plus, but the pricing matches that of an indoor restaurant and fails to deliver the same set of standards. Definitely not a spot I’d come back to (especially considering the questionable attitude from the cashier working there) but maybe it could be your cup of tea?

Service was above and beyond Heather was taking orders and serving the food. The sushi is really good but left something to be desired. There specials are something to be talked about though mix and match 2 for 15 should be a thing everywhere!

Horrible place, first time eating here and last time. Worst experience. Do not come here to eat sushi. I got a baked salmon roll and there only two pieces of the roll had salmon the other ones had salmon
