9 Best Japanese Restaurants near Santa Maria

“This place is always a solid choice. I go maybe once every month or two and it's always a delight. I've had most of their bentos and they are tasty and a decent amount of food for the price. They're hot sake ? is an excellent addition to the evening. And they are the restaurant that has been getting me to try sushi again and I am starting to like it as a result. The customer service is good and the place has an excellent atmosphere for a fun night out

Parking: It's a large parking lot overall, but it is a busy area. While there is typically no issue finding a spot, it may be a ways away from the restaurant“

“I’ve eaten here about a dozen times now. I’ll just say the food is very good, exceptionally good for the price. Today I had the chicken hamagozen lunch. It came with miso soup, gyoza, salad, along with tempura shrimp, broccoli, and carrots. All this and green tee for just under $15.“

“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.“

“Excellent food! Great service and huge portions!!!!“

“We came here for a birthday and got the royal treatment. The food was good, but the show and presentation at the grill was a hit with our party of 6. The toddlers in our group had a blast and ate all their food surprisingly, even the veggies! ?? They accommodated our party well and we had a very nice time.“

“Pretty great food, not always the best service, and lacking in atmosphere and drink options, but always leave fully satisfied. The roll selection is diverse and interesting, and the fish quality is above average. I recommend this place to my friends.“

“Very good sushi, great service!“

“This place has great service and good food. I've had the ramen, both the salmon and yellowtail collar, and the pork cutlets. They were all good and the fish collars in particular are delicious. They have always had quick and great service. I like coming here whenever I'm in the mood for ramen or fish.

Parking: It's right at one of the entrances to the mall by the parking structure. You'll not struggle to find parking.“

“This sushi place was a pleasant surprise. The food was great, the service outstanding and the decor comfortable and attractive. It's nice to have an excellent sushi place in Nipomo.“
