Sakana Sushi Japanese - Santa Barbara

The food was not good and I dont recommend it here. Food: 2 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3

If you're a sushi enthusiast or simply appreciate exquisite Japanese cuisine, Sakana Sushi Bar Japanese in Montecito, CA, is an absolute must-visit. I recently had the pleasure of dining at this hidden culinary gem, and I can confidently say that it exceeded all my expectations. The star of the show, of course, is the sushi and sashimi. Each piece is a work of art, beautifully presented on the plate. The freshness of the fish and the expert craftsmanship are evident in every bite. The variety of rolls and sashimi options cater to all tastes, from traditional choices to creative and unique combinations. Whether you're a fan of classic nigiri or prefer something more adventurous, Sakana has you covered.

Convenient sushi spot in Montecito! I’ll be honest the quality here is sub par. The consistency of the fish and rice makes me skeptical of how fresh the ingredients might be and for pricing this premium, I’d expect a high standard. The nigiri was passable but even visually disappointing. While the sushi roll plates are a visual spectacle, I found them to be quite theatrical the quality was totally disappointing and the taste clusters with these random sauces made no sense to me. Purely visual rather than prioritizing quality food. Minimal service, crammed table spacing, and a long wait time for our food sure didn’t help, but nonetheless I appreciate the convenience of this location.

Great sushi!! Fast service!! Good company : Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

This place was great they have a lunch and dinner schedule, I came over here for dinner. The Lobster rolls and blackened mango was good. The service was also nice, they're not pushy and they interact with their clients quite well. The staff knows how to read their clients I like that. The overall experience was great
