Just a heads up for anyone (like me) who doesn't call ahead to verify they are open. I went by earlier this evening and was disappointed to see a sign indicating that they will be closed until May 21st.

Toshi is an old friend. I was there the day he opened up. He offers a unique Old-school true Japanese sushi experience. Even though I don't live in Ventura anymore I still stop by. But as usual, he is swamped with customers.

Not sure how to rate this place? Went there on a Saturday night @ 6:30 and they were closed

Best sushi in Ventura without question

Great sushi and amazing service. Come early to get a seat, the whole place is 3 four top tables and 6 seats at the sushi bar. By 5:10 there was a waiting list of at least 4 parties. Super fresh and well prepared traditional sushi rolls

One of best sushi restaurants in town. Amazing nigiri. Large cuts of fish and good ratio of rice. Flavorful without too many complex flavors.
Definitely recommended

This place has incredible food, service, atmosphere, and people. Make sure to arrive early (as close to 5pm as possible) as they sell out fast. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, and sitting at the bar is so fun!

I was excited to try this sushi restaurant and stopped in to place a to go order. The woman working abruptly just told me "no take out"! I was a lil shocked since I didn't see anywhere online, on their front door or anywhere that they don't do take out. We unfortunately couldn't dine in since couldn't leave stuff in the back of our truck.Maybe will try to dine in but they have very limited hours and small place.We went down the road to Banzai instead.

I immediately fell in love with Koba Sushi and the owners the second I walked in. My husband and I try to come weekly. There’s really nothing else like it around here, it’s very special and the sushi is authentic and amazing.

In my top 3 sushi places in ventura (Seaward sushi, Banzai Marina, and now Koba sushi). This restaurant is a smaller place that is cozy and inviting. It's a more traditional sushi restaurant that serves the freshest sushi! The staff was very nice and friendly. The place was spotless and pleasant to be in. And the food was delicious! It is pricey bit worth it. Would highly recommend to anyone that wants quality sushi (and sake)!
No American style rolls here. Most authentic sushi I've had in Ventura. Fresh fish. I especially enjoyed the blue crab handroll on the specials board. It's a little small inside, so there's a high possibility of having a wait.

Just wow. Hands down, the best sushi spot in Ventura and definitely in my top 3 of all time. The quality and atmosphere is right up there with Sushi Bar at a fraction of the price. It's a total hole-in-the-wall, and it's notoriously difficult to get a table; it took me and my husband 4 attempts before finally squeezing in but it was well worth the wait. They offer an affordable omakase with specials that you can't find anywhere else. While the omakase had sold out by the time we got seated, the chef still mapped out our order into "courses" so that we could enjoy each bite. Even the miso was the best I've ever had.
