Food is always amazing but unfortunately when I got sushi togo yesterday there was 2 pieces of foil in my French kiss roll. The first one I was able to spot and take out but the second I chewed up a bit :/ never had this issue before. read more

Not my favorite. I thought the service was lackluster and the food was just ok. The actual restaurant is beautiful and well thought out but I just felt so rushed and almost as if I annoyed the server with questions about what was in the rolls - having allergies is hard but it's usually never a problem for people. The udon noodles were fresh but the broth lacked flavor, the baked roll we had was pretty cold when we got it to the table. I was kinda over it by then but my hubby said the fresh roll was good. I really wanted to like this location as it is in such close proximity to our home however, Samurai isn't too far away and I think they will continue to be our go to favorite.. read more

Great food, great service! I go here all the time and have never been disappointed! If a mistake is made it is fixed right away and with a super kind attitude! The staff is so sweet and very hard working. :) read more

**Update** Came in today (10/12/23) and had a less than favorable experience.... I was really bummed because this place used to be my favorite spot.... but the last few visits have been incredibly underwhelming. Pro: The service has gotten mildly better. The young lady who helped us today was kind and patient. But servers were hard to find once food was delivered.... My mom received a teriyaki chicken lunch entree that was lukewarm at best... and what was returned to her was dry, jerky-like and haphazardly thrown about her plate. Con: My biggest complaint though, was that the place was really messy... there were crumbs all over the floor... tables not wiped and I believe that was the main reason I spent the entirety of our meal battling it out--swatting flies. Not a particular fan of sharing, especially with flies... Might have to give another thought before coming back here again.... read more

My favorite place for sushi recently visited the server seemed very incompetent to do her job forgot multiple things and had to ask multiple times. Came in for happy hour 45min prior and by the time we were seated it took her 20 mins to take our order and she said happy hour was over which was a huge disappointment and we could no longer order from the happy hour menu. The food is always fresh and delicious but the service we received was pretty upsetting read more

Good reasonably priced rolls for lunch. Been coming for years. The water ... tastes terrible. Always has. Friendly hosts

first I was charged $80+ from an ignorant employee who obviously wasn't paying attention whatsoever and charged my card for somebody else's meal PLUS my own. So In reality my card was charged a little over $130. Then finally I get to go on lunch just to see my sushi was fucking burnt?? Like why are you going to serve your customers BURNT food? I only ever this Dragon roll and never had any problems before this and extremely disappointed. Paid $130+ for food that wasn't mine and food that wasn't made correctly. Called in just now just for a middle man worker to have me on hold multiple times to talk to the manager back and forth. Why wasn't the manager handling the situation? Are they even doing their job? Sending out burnt food to regular paying customers. My only solution was to leave work to get a refund for the food I didn't eat or to leave my work so they can remake it? It wouldn't have to be remade if it was made correctly the first time. Now I have to waste my time going back again and wait another week for an incompetent workers mistake just to get my money back. GREAT SERVICE EVERYBODY read more

I placed an order to go. When I called Alexis answered the phone & put me on hold. She thought she put me on mute but she was having a personal conversation with her co worker! I heard all of it! I placed my order & she had a hard time understanding my phone number. She must have still been into her convo. I went to pick up my order, I get home & my expensive spicy pork is missing my rice & salad! WTH! I am not to drive back! I call & speak with Christina or Christine. I ask to talk to the manager & of course he's not available. I left my information to get a call back. I hope they do. read more

I'm always looking for a good Sushi place but they are few and far between in Salinas. I got take out here a while ago, but it didn't leave much of an impression. I had some time to kill one afternoon so I stopped in for lunch. Previous reviews cued me in to certain details, but I went in with an open mind. Unlike some reviewers I found the service pleasent, quick, and efficient, even during lunch rush. The miso soup that came with my lunch special was warm, norshing, and delicious - very umami-y. If I had stopped there Arigato would have gotten more stars but, alas. My lunch special came with a choice of three rolls from the special list and I chose Super Salmon, Philly Roll (I like Salmon), and Tekka Maki. I must, sadly, agree with other reviewers, I find it a problem when rolls are put together but don't stay together. The most discouraging thing I found was the rice. I'm told by my Japanese friends that the way you tell a Japanese restaurant's quality is by the rice; it should have a certain taste and texture. Arigato's rice was bland and didn't form a cohesive Sushi roll. I'm not sure that I will give them a third try, but it is better Sushi than you can get prepackaged. read more

My wife and I came for our anniversary and we ordered 3 rolls. Let's just say they were all lacking flavor and freshness. Our salmon rolls were very fishy, had way too much crab salad, and they are so big that when you try to eat them, they completely fall apart. We wish they included some cucumber or cream cheese and a lot less crab salad. On top of the food not being good, the customer service was poor. Waitresses never checked in to see if everything was good and our order was messed up. We love sushi and this place was disappointing, we had high hopes but unfortunately I don't think we would come here again. read more

Service was wonderful. Sushi rolls ordered were delicious. Children teriyaki portion was pretty big. I had a couple issues. The silverware and cups are very much cafeteria. I mean, this is the only sushi establishment where I was served miso soup with a metal spoon. Additionally my daughter and I were served water in dirty cups. Luckily the waitress kindly gave us clean cups. read more

The service was good, we had a very patient and kind lady, however the food was interesting. The fish is not fresh at all and the rice tastes like it was made in a microwave. We also got a deepfried roll and the shrimp tempura was over fried, it was completely brown. The hot sake also did not even have a cover. The bathroom was also a complete mess. (Update:The person that ate the nigiri ended up getting food poisoning.) read more

Very disappointing. This restaurant has plenty of business from people who don't know there are other options. We planned a birthday treat for a friend and the three of us to try a new Sushi restaurant. I ordered the Chef's Sushi 10 piece menu item and was told the sushi order would take a while. Fine, except my order was not ready even after my 2 friends had finished their hot meals. I was then asked if I wanted to take my sushi "to go". There was no offer to make things right and save the relationship with the customer. They could have simply comped the $8 Edamame appetizer (also disappointing version of Edamame...did they use the jarred garlic?) or offered dessert. They were willing to let me cancel my dinner and let me walk out without any further effort on their part. I agreed to take my dinner to go and when I got home 15 minutes later, I discovered my sushi dinner wasn't even cold. Not how sushi should be served. The hot dinners-chicken and tempura were dry, overcooked and I had the impression that the food is mass produced way ahead of time. I'm convinced that Kokoro in South Salinas is by far consistently better quality, service more personal and I would recommend Kokoro time and time again. read more

The lunch specials are the best I've found if your looking for a lot of food, tasty food, and affordable food. I ordered the beef teriyaki entree lunch special, which included miso soup. I had leftovers, which if I am being honest I ate later that day when i got home. The food did not disappoint again, and our server was really nice. The lunch rolls are also big. I think the cleaning products scent is strong, so maybe keep that in mind if you are sensitive to smells. The booths are comfortable, and the menu has many options. I also would recommend showing up before it opens if you're going for lunch just because the restaurant is popular and seats fill up fast. read more

Placed an orders on 1/3/25 over the phone told the person who answered that we will be placing two separate orders. And would pay for them separately The first order was the lunch special two piece first one was Philadelphia roll and avocado roll and it was supposed to come with miso soup. The second order was Johnny roll. California roll and cucumber salad. They charged us all together for got the soup. And the Philly rolls taste not right. Did not end up eating the rest of them after eating one. The cucumber salad leaked all over the bag it was in! The California roll was tasty. As was the Johnny rolls. If we order from there again to go we will just walk in a place an order. To make sure everything is correct. As a different person picked up our order for us and thought that it was all correct as they tight the bags very tight closed. So could not look into them without ripping open the bags. read more

I ordered a Moss Landing Roll, side of white rice and teriyaki sauce on the side. First, they forgot the sauce on the side, then when I looked at my roll I noticed just about every single one was burnt. The rice on the outside of the roll was black and inedible, only the inside was edible. Everywhere else I've ever gone and gotten a baked roll has NEVER served me a roll with burnt black rice. The most over priced avocado, crab salad and scallops I've ever had. Also the scallop tasted super fishy, seems like they are not at all fresh. read more

Love going here, we usually do the beef donburi, firefighter roll & the hot night roll. We've always had really good service, only thing i will say sometimes when we call in our order for pick up they will say 30 mins and we usually give it an extra 10-15mins. When we arrive to pick up a few times we'd have to wait an extra 20 mins. Of course no one's fault but we're always told "it'll be out in a minute" read more

I'm not from the area, but I've had their food 3 times. Their sushi is not the best I've ever had, but it is really really good. The fish is fresh and good quality. The last 2 times I've gone...I've gotten the orange blossom. It's really delicious & a generous portion of food for one roll. If you like salmon, I highly recommend ordering that dish. read more

Seating was quick and efficient. That's the best I can say about 9ur experience. We ordered appetizers some rolls, and entrees. About 15 min of waiting, my entree and side soups arrived and the server took off before we can ask about our apps. About 25 min later another server came by w other's entrees ... this time we stopped the server to ask about the apps. Waiting another 10 min, the brought the apps and sushi. So now our table was overburdened with food and dishes. The tempura app we got was delicious and freshly crisp. Granddaughter's Ramen soup was good. Other's entrees were good also. The sushi was horrible and overfill with soggy krab mayo mix. read more

Lunch specials are great and the food has never tasted bad I would recommend for lunch.

First time trying this place for takeout I loved it I would definitely order takeout again

Arrived at 8:40pm to dine in. There were still dinners sitting there. They also don't close till 9:30pm We've came at 9:00pm before and they've seated us. I asked what time they closed, the gal couldn't give me a straight answer. She said they stop doing take out orders at 9:00pm. It really sounds like you need to change your hours on the door, and social media to avoid confusion. But it just seems like really bad service. I wouldn't want to spend my money here on not so great customer service. read more

Came here this past weekend with my husband, we ordered the Garlic Chilli Edamames, Chicken Teriyaki Bowl, Piña Colada crunch roll and a few other rolls. Everything was good except the edamame. They definitely had an odd taste that I could not get past. I felt as if the garlic was extremely burnt or the chilli was missing something, not sure what it was or how to perfectly describe the taste, but I was not impressed and I don't recommend. I've had "Angry Edamame" in other places similar to Arigato and they were delicious. Other than that everything was great! read more

Great food, good service, online ordering could be improved. Best overall Japanese restaurant in this area.

Came in on a Friday night and they were pretty busy as it was 5pm and dinner time. We already knew Walmart we wanted and so when I waitress arrived we gave her out order immediately. Our rolls came out really fast as we ordered 5. However the messed up on my sons Tonkastu and brought him out ramen tonkatsu. Thankful the young gentleman who brought our food put in the correct order because we didn't see our waitress but only 3 times, once when she took our order, then when we were almost done with our meal (& my son still hadn't received his order this was before we even discovered it was wrong) the last when I finally saw her walking by and just asked for the bill and to go boxes because I didn't know when I'd see her again. The food was AMAZING AS ALWAYS, but our service was terrible, but I didn't want to give lower stars on the account of our server. For the record we saw everyone else's servers and everyone else was beyond served and attended to but ours was completely MIA read more

Hands DOWN! The best sushi you'll find in Salinas and arguably the Monterey Peninsula. We had the firefighter, hot night, and beef teriyaki combo meal. Each one was fantastic. But let this be clear, this review is on the food. The service is probably 3/5. We had to wait a minute for everything. But it was totally worth it. Overall thoughts: sit back and enjoy some good sushi! read more
