“Hands down BEST sushi in Ventura! We come here at least once a week. Highly recommend parking along the street, catching sunset on the beach, then coming here for dinner. Although everything I’ve ordered here has been excellent, my very favorites are the Avocado Bomb (the best I’ve ever had) and the Sushi House Roll. The staff are always very welcoming, friendly, and attentive.“

“If you're in Ventura, love good food, and not wanting to break the bank? Then, go to this place. Absolutely, the best mom and pop Thai restaurant in town! I first ate here when I moved to Ventura 2 years ago, and I have not stopped. The owner is the sweetest person ever, and the service is great.

The food is really tasty! A veritable explosion of taste that will satisfy your cravings. And, if you're vegetarian like me you won't find better crispy tofu anywhere else!

If you're traveling through town, this place is easy to find. It's right off the entrance to the 101 South ramp. With fast food costing an arm and a leg, I think this place is worth the stop. You'll leave fat and happy!

I've tried the cashew nut, the drunken noodles, the curries, and their iced tea with boba. So good!“

“My boyfriend and I showed up 4 minutes before closing, and we were served like royalty. The hospitality was impressive. We ordered everything we wanted. The shrimp glass noodles, the chicken dumplings, and the pork belly ramen. Everything was incredibly delicious! We were even gifted a side of chicken and a flavored boba drink of our choice, that we didn’t have to pay for.
The food court had closed but we were still able to sit and enjoy our meal. I wish I would’ve gotten their names, the man and woman working tonight were so friendly and thank you so much for even offering a free refill. We pray that your business is financially blessed! Thank you for your all hard work!“
