Sixteen years after my last review I decided to give them another try. Looks like all new chefs and a much busier place. The sashimi was top notch and likely the best in the area. Really attentive sushi chefs that make my custom orders without a question. Staff are on the spot and arrive quickly and then step back out of your space. Very busy at lunch and even full most evenings to where you have to wait. All good signs for a restaurant. read more

OMG! I loved this place. The food was incredible and prices were fantastic for their lunch specials. During the pandemic, they jacked up the prices. It's outrageous now. Service"was" great but I can no longer afford the indulgence. Ambiance is average. read more

This is a very good place if you are looking for the ambience and from out of town. It sits on the water in the harbor, so it's very pretty. From a food perspective, it's okay. The food is good but not outstanding and the price is geared towards visitors. read more

Authentic! Great service . Very busy on Friday during LENT. Great view, Great drinks read more

Came here for the Salmon Roll, left after eating the Eel bowl and a happy man. The entree is called Unaju and comes with miso soup and salad. The meal was delicious, not overly flavored but you can still taste the combination of the eel sauce, eel meat, and rice. The eel meat was soft and melts in your mouth but still had parts where it's crispy meaning it was grilled perfectly. The crispness with the sweetness with the eel sauce combined with the umami flavor of the eel was enjoyable. The dish is a bit pricey but what isn't these days. I would say I would have preferred to have the eel sauce to be a bit lighter as to be able to taste the eel better. read more

My husband and I had dinner here for the first time, we have only ever gotten to-go before. It was a wonderful dining experience. The sushi was incredible, so tender and fresh. The service was great and so attentive. We felt really welcomed by the staff. We split the Crabby Heart Attack and I ordered Sushi Combo C. The Crabby Heart Attack was an explosion of flavor and so filling. The salad and miso soup that came with Sushi Combo C were great and all of the nigiri was unbelievably tasty. We also ordered the Fresh Wasabi which was such a wonderful addition to every bite. I will definitely be ordering the fresh wasabi everytime from now on. The vibe was great, lots of people for a Thursday night, lots of regulars who were chatting at the bar and being super familiar with the staff. Parking is easy, there is a big shared lot. When you are waiting for a table there are about 3 chairs outside. read more

Ordered online for takeout. For the type of seafood that are in these rolls (imitation crab, shrimp tempura, spicy tuna etc) I'd say they are a bit overpriced. However the portions and size of the rolls make up for it. I really enjoyed the mixed seafood tempura, for $16 it was enough for two with some leftovers. We were definitely full and satisfied with our order. It was super busy close to closing on a Saturday. Would order takeout again. read more

Friendly staff Cute small space, but clean. The food was good. Had the dynamite roll and the lobster tail hand roll. The close from 2 to 4:30 pm so plan ahead with the hours. The parking lot seems to be busy all the time near the restaurant, so plan to park in the spaces further from the restaurant. read more

What can be better than sushi? Sushi by the water. Anaba is a great sushi restaurant located at the Seabridge Marketplace and serves great sushi. We were in town on a Sunday and decided to treat our friends here. There was a wait, and we took it as a good indication the food would be worth it. The staff was friendly from the start. They estimated our wait time would be 20 min and they were pretty spot on. Our group of 6 ordered a variety of dishes- tonkatsu ramen, salmon collar, yellowtail collar. I ordered the chirashi. They presented the dishes very well. My chirashi was beautiful. And everything was fresh and delicious! Definitely recommend it. If you want some great sushi, this is a great place to check out. read more

Salmon Delight was fresh, light and spicy altogether. Exactly what I anticipated based off the menu photo. Side of cucumber was a cool palette cleanser. Service was good and efficient as the waitress came to offer service in timely manner, whether needed or not. Ambiance was good for a busy Tuesday but overall, this was a good experience. Would come back read more

Great sushi spot. Lots of parking in the parking lot and a good amount of things around the plaza. We had some standouts with the crispy tuna rice and the el diablo roll. They were soooo good. Peter was making the sushi right in front of us and he says he makes the el diablo hot sauce himself. The hot sauce was so so good and the crispy tuna rice had so much tuna on top. Cute restaurant too with plenty of seating. Didn't have to wait long to be seated. Bathrooms were clean enough , though the ladies soap dispenser wasn't working (not a big deal though). Overall, awesome sushi spot !! Oh and huge shout out to Peter :) Great sushi making & overall nice guy who conversated with us a bit. read more

Food was excellent and came out in a timely manner. We got the Golden Tiger Roll and Anaba Roll. They had the dodger game on and faced us towards the marina. Bathroom was 5/5. Also had a urinal and toilet separate so I could split no. 1 and 2 if necessary. I hate hand dryers, and we were offered both options. So that was very kind of them. My only qualm was that the door did not have a StepNPull. Otherwise, a great bathroom. Please note that this was the men's side. Would come again! read more

Their sushi is very fresh and their Japanese food is very good but they are expensive when compared to other Japanese restaurants in the area . For the price reason I can't give this restaurant five stars. I Love Sushi in Ventura is on par with Anaba and less expensive. read more

Anaba had very fresh sushi and a lot of creative varieties. We got one sushi C that had mixed sushi with salad and miso soup. Normally I don't like Miso soup much, but this one was less salty and had good miso flavor. The lobster tail was our favorite with good amount of lobster and not too heavy. read more

A real Japanese food. I love eating at this place. Although it's kind of expensive but here is the place to eat Japanese food

I've been to Anaba plenty of times. Usually with my son. This was the first time we tried "The Boat." It was fantastic. Sitting at the sushi bar is our usual spot. The chefs are first class and very attentive. read more

Anaba - The Boat. It was a delicious as it is beautiful. - Japanese Near Me - Oxnard, California

Anaba is my favorite sushi spot -- the food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently great. Unfortunately, the service really brings the experience down. Once your food arrives, the servers rarely check back, and it's almost always necessary to flag someone down for any kind of service (and that's after several attempts before you even get someone's attention). Today was by far the worst service I've experienced, which was really disappointing. I truly hope they improve their service because it discourages you from coming back. Everyone I know agrees -- the food is excellent, but the service really needs attention. read more

Been here a few times and has always been a good experience, at least for me. It can get busy sometimes with 20-40 min wait times but worth the wait. Sushi is always fresh. Service is excellent. It's just pricey. Golden Tiger is delicious! My partner doesn't like raw fish but he tried it and loved it! He even got it again the second time we went. 10/10 Wooley Roll seems to be pretty small and cut thin compared to other rolls. Still tastes good though. It has blue crab and eel in it. 7/10 Rock N Roll was good aswell. It has salmon and shrimp tempura with creamcheese. 8/10 Miso soup wasn't too salty it was just perfect so was the edamame. read more

Wow! Blows my mind how we were treated. Took our pastor and his wife to dinner last night, food was ok, not like it use to be back in the day. We were talking and finishing our meal when a lady came up to our table & told us that she has bad news, they will be closing in a little while she has people waiting & needs our table. Sitting there mind blown..... I have NEVER in my life been asked to leave a restaurant! I dropped almost $300 on dinner last night at this place & I will not be going back! Why are we the ones who have to give up our table when we got to the restaurant at a decent hour to enjoy our company & meal! Not my fault that these other people can't get to dinner at a decent hour read more

Came here because of the positive reviews, lovely location, and my desire to explore new places. I was not disappointed. This is a great restaurant! Next to the harbor with views of the boats, it is a well-decorated and well-staffed. Beautiful. Service was professional and responsive. I went in right before their break in between lunch and dinner and they were quick! The food was super good. Garlic Tuna and the Sunset Roll were delicious. Super satisfying. Not the place to look for a bargain. Sushi at the harbor with a view will never be cheap but it wasn't overboard. Definitely worth a try! read more

Loved it ! I came here after leaving another Japanese restaurant I did not have the best experience at! This spot was a breath of fresh air. Amazing service . I had my roll in 5 minutes !!!! My friends did too. We were all happy with our rolls. Yes .. it's on the pricier side but great quality. I love the view of the marina! Such a nice location for a dinner with the bf or girlfriends!!! Really my favorite sushi place :) read more

Delicious ramen take out! It'd been several months since my last bowl of ramen in Redwood City and on a cold evening, this bowl hit the spot. Nice serving size. I'd recommend grabbing extra soy sauce & utensils (they only pack chopsticks as standard to-go inclusions for dinnerware ). Enjoy! read more

Allergy alert Food was ok. Allergy alert: This restaurant cooks scallops in shared fryer oil, so even fried items that don't contain scallops (tempura, rolls, vegetables) may be cross-contaminated. If you have a scallop allergy, avoid fried foods here. Food and service were good otherwise -- posting this to raise awareness. read more

My boyfriend and I placed an online order and it took less than 30 minutes to be ready. I got a regular california roll with spicy sauce and it was great. My boyfriend got the Alaskan roll and the rainbow roll. I recommend getting 2 things of rolls if you are really hungry read more

I walked in and was seated immediately at the sushi bar. I always enjoy sushi restaurants where you can sit at the sushi bar and speak directly with the chef. The menu was extensive, but with the assistance of the sushi chef, I was able to decide what to order. I chose the Sunset Roll, the Dynamite Roll, and salmon sushi (nigiri). All three were absolutely superb. The fish was high-quality and fresh, so there was no need for soy sauce. I prematurely poured the soy sauce, but after the first bite, I realized I shouldn't taint this delicious sushi by dunking it in sauce. read more

This is the best Sushi the county. The Blue Crab hand roll is amazing and so is the Sushi. We've lived in the area since 2019 and this was our first visit.

We happened to be in the area because we actually planned to eat somewhere else, but they were unexpectedly closed so ended up deciding to grab sushi around the area. We had to wait about 20-25 minutes around 7:45 PM on Friday night. Although I was getting a bit hangry, I had a feeling it was going to be pretty good if this many people were waiting. The menu is quite extensive and can be a little overwhelming, but I don't think you can go wrong. The items are on the pricier side, but I think they are pretty generous with the portions of fish and everything tasted fresh. The food also came out really fast, which was a huge bonus especially because I was starving! We ordered the edamame and killer calamari rings to start. The batter was nice and crunchy, but I do wish there was more calamari since it seemed like half the plate was batter. For the rolls, we ordered the Sunset Roll and Salmon Delight. Sunset Roll is very refreshing and Salmon Delight is a little more rich. I was very pleasantly surprised by the fish-to-rice ratio of the rolls. It has a very nice casual-classy ambiance and there were several parties celebrating birthdays. Service was very friendly! read more

That sushi boat was a dream !!! Salmon, albacore, snapper, yellow fin, on a bed of crunchy julienned daikon and perilla leaves, everything was delicious and fresh ! That bluefin tuna was just melting in my mouth! I think we added $10+ to have a special roll upgraded. It was delicious too. Very fresh ingredients. Very beautiful presentation, even that sliced orange was beautifully cut and picked as a dessert, it was very juicy. Honestly, the best I've had in the area. My 6 year old thinks so too. Can't wait to order a sushi boat again! read more
