The sushi was delicious and it came out on a giant boat platter! I had guests from Korea visiting and they loved it. Great experience

这里的海胆非常棒，软壳蟹也很出色，寿司同样美味----在圣巴巴拉想饱餐一顿海胆的话，来这儿就对了。我们吃过两次，每次都很满意。 Excellent sea urchin, great soft shell crab, good sushi - great place to get you sea urchin fix while in Santa Barbara. Very happy with our two experiences here. read more

Edomasa is hands-down one of my favorite sushi spots in Santa Barbara. It has everything you'd want from a neighborhood favorite--friendly staff, consistently fresh fish, and prices that don't break the bank (a rare combo these days!). One of the things that keeps me coming back--aside from the great sushi--is the warm, welcoming vibe. The staff is always super friendly, and if you go often enough, they'll even remember your order, which adds such a personal touch. As for the sushi itself--delicious. My go-to orders are the spicy tuna rolls and the scallop roll. Both are packed with flavor, the fish is fresh and well-seasoned, and the portions are generous. It's clear that quality and care go into every dish. read more

I've been coming here for several years. Very authentic Japanese food. Their sushi rolls tend to be on the bigger side, packed with flavor and super yummy! I always feel at home here and comfortable. I love the experience every time. Also BEST tofu Agedashi I've ever had. I've had it from all the Japanese restaurants in SB and Edomasa's is definitely the best!! read more

This used to be a late night sushi house that we would go to after the "club". Now, it is our go-to family spot for early evening dinner. We like to sit at the bar or small tables in the front and enjoy appetizers that include calamari or tempura. The kids like the early dinner special that comes with chicken, California roll, miso, salad, and tempura. Adults love the Philadelphia roll and Mexican roll. Sometimes, we splurge on some love boat! Plus, mochi at the end with three flavor options is always a win. And you are always greeted with smiles! read more

Just ate this for dinner and immediately had to write a review!! We got the katsu curry and it was so yummy and flavorful. We also got the spider roll and salmon sushi, which was also fresh and tasty. Service was good and the inside of the restaurant is super cute. Def recommend!! read more

Diverse menu with really great options other than sushi. The sushi is of course, amazing. Highly recommend getting oysters here as they are prepared with ponzu soy and taste a little different than your typical oysters. Service is always great. read more

Edomasa is the only true izakaya in Santa Barbara! Taichi-San is holding it down and the selection of traditional Japanese dishes is phenomenal. Try Taichi's own sake that he imports from Japan. read more

Edomasa Sushi Bar & Restaurant - Japanese Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

It's not on the main tourist routes and parking can be a little difficult but this unpretentious little restaurant features some wonderful Japanese food. In addition to some great sushi, tempura, etc, they have some chef specialties. Nice teriyaki dishes too. And, most importantly, pleasant, hard working staff in the kitchen, certainly, but there is a friendly, personal vibe to their kind and efficient service. I always feel a warm welcome and this place is a sort of sanctuary from the world. Good Sake too! read more

Very good food, very friendly staff. Miso soup was free and tasty in exchange for some cake

The food and service here is always great. There are so many selections it's hard to actually pick which one you want read more

10/10 would recommend! Yoko was the best. We ordered the Tuna Carpaccio, Salmon Bowl, Teriyaki Bowl, crunch roll and the calamari. The service was great. Yoko gave us Enough time to decide what we wanted, without pressuring us. You will need 10-15 minutes to decide with the extensive menu. Interior was like any traditional Japanese cuisine, very quaint and on a busy street. Parking was easy since we go there later in the evening. We would go back just to be helped by Yoko, she was the absolute sweetest lady. Food was great, staff was helpful and we walked out more than satisfied. We will be back when we come through SB again. read more

After a big day I set out, at the recommendation of a local friend, to where, he said, the sushi chefs go when they go out for sushi. The place is pretty unassuming from the outside, and sensibly furnished inside. I went at 8:30 on a Thursday night and it was pretty full. Even with the bustle, the service was swift and efficient and, very importantly, it did not smell like fish. I sat down at the bar and one of the sushi chefs greeted me and gave me a menu. There's not the many pages of rolls you'd find in other places, just one page and then the sashimi, and hot dishes. I ordered the fresh Uni my friend recommended and, OMG, it was the most fresh and delicious I have ever eaten. The cool, pink pouches exploded with flavor in my mouth, wow! I also ordered the Salmon Feast, with Sashimi, Sushi, and a Salmon Avocado roll. The Salmon was fresh and delicious, and each iteration was well crafted and so flavorful. I may come back to Santa Barbara just to come back here! read more

This is a small home style restaurant that serves a variety of Japanese food. From curry katsu to sashimi. I loved that there was an adorable elderly Japanese couple who seemed to be the owners manage the restaurant. Service was very good and everyone seemed very friendly. We ordered the curry pork katsu (large), beef curry udon, beef curry with rice (reg size) the salmon fest, and salmon hamachi bowl. Everything was delicious and the fish was fresh. Good size portions. Our 3 entrees came with miso soup. And the salmon hamachi bowl came with a mango mochi ice cream, My son missed eating authentic simple Japanese food and that's what he got. I thought the price was very reasonable for what we got. Can't wait to come back to try other items on their menu. (There's many specials posted on the wall.) read more

Love this place, highly recommend. Good food & even better service. The owners are so sweet and make you feel like family.

Edomasa is delicious & plentiful. Our favorite sushi restaurant in Santa Barbara. We love the Edomasa salad, and the Udon, but everything is delish! Wonderful staff! Open later than most restaurants, so go enjoy! read more

YUM. Rolls are smaller than I'm used too but if ya get 2 it's almost a full meal. They are reasonably priced and the ingredients tasted fresh :) Would love to come here for sashimi next time Service was nice, ambiance, chill, and noise level was moderate. read more

Easy and quick neighborhood sushi restaurant, good food, and solid service. I don't really like dining in, it feels a bit sterile and uncomfortable, so we always get it to go. read more

Great food and really great price. My girlfriend and I split the dinner special and it was perfect for a quick bite. The owners were so sweet to us and even gave us a lil free mochi at the end. Curse you bad reviewers! Eat mine from the back! read more

A hidden gem nestled in Santa Barbara that delivers friendly service, a delightful owner and no-frills sushi. Thank you, Tai!

I found Edomasa on Google and instantly fell in love with this place when I visited here for dinner. I ordered a chirashi bowl, a 16 ounce Sapporo beer, fried oyster, and a dinner special (not shown in the picture). Everything was extremely good and tasty, particularly impressed with freshness of ingredients and authenticity of tastes. It was pretty busy when I got there, so the service was a little slow but it wasn't too bad. It's cozy inside and the owners were super nice and kind. Edomasa is my favorite place to dine when I'm in SB. I will definitely come back here to try other items on the menu. read more

Eaten at various restaurants & disappointed with their karaage chicken & Spider Roll. Hairy claws masqueraded in tempura is disgusting. Not even Popeyes Chicken cooks their thighs in such DIRTY oil. This one hour drive is NOT worth it. Highly recommend Anaba Sushi in Oxnard- NO COMPARISON. read more

The fish tasted so fresh! And they were not skimpy. The raw fish slices were thick and delicious. I really loved the salmon. The egg cakes were not how I thought they would taste, they are very sweet and very delicious! They used a lot of rice to plate the fish which was kind of too much. I ended up throwing most of the rice away because it was like a pound of rice. read more

Edomasa Sushi Bar & Restaurant - Salmon Hamachi Bowl - Japanese Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Came back home for a lovely home style Japanese meal and was not disappointed. The Katsu Curry, great. The Karaage was plump, molten lava nuggets. Mouthwatering. However the star would have to be their Kama, Hamachi. The picture does not even come close to how amazing this piece of Kama was cooked, to perfection. How the rendered fish fat at the end curls with the skin. Then when peeled, it's so translucent and filled with Unami. Taiko drums were beating in my mouth like the summer festivals in Tokyo. This is a must get. Thank you!!! read more

There's no question where to go when it comes to late night and sushi in Santa Barbara. Walking in from a cold night made the choice for a hot serving of green tea the right choice. There is something special about the green tea served here. The first sip as thick and rich as can be will hit you with a warm, soothing and refreshing flavor. We decided to get a random selection of appetizers and entries and pretty much all were great. Appetizer-wise, the edamame was crispy with the right of amount of salt, the surprisingly amazing enoki mushrooms were to die for with its buttery flavors and then the Anton's Special of garlic and soy sauce seasoned beef was exactly what the doctor ordered. The Deluxe Sashimi and Rainbow Roll was pretty good too. You'll definitely get your fill and money's worth with both. When in Santa Barbara be sure to stop by Edomasa. Everything on the menu is worth trying at least once. read more

Edomasa Sushi Bar & Restaurant - Japanese Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

I was craving sushi so I popped on DoorDash and this looked super good. I know this is Yelp, but I do want to shoutout DoorDash on here to say that I think it's great they offered 30% off for pickup instead of getting delivered. However, I had a little trouble picking it up because they didn't understand my name and that yes I was picking up but I was ordering through DoorDash--no I was not a dasher. So, besides the communication issues, the food was delicious I got a spicy volcano roll which is a baked California roll with crane cheese and spicy sauce. I then got some spicy edamame for an appetizer. Pretty sure all this food was supposed to be for 2-3 people.... it YES I ate it all myself! Oops, not actually sorry because it was too good not to stop! read more

Pretty happy about our experience at Edomasa! Me and my SO will order A LOT of sushi. Like an amount where sushi masters will check the order twice and then check that there are only 2 people, ha! The service here was great! Seems like the owners were there (an older lady and older man) and they were so friendly and attentive to us. The sushi was average-sushi price and the quality is good. Our rolls came out in a good time while the restaurant was busy and we liked everything we ordered. What stood out to us was the Baltimore roll. We absolutely love cream cheese and this roll had Crab Meat Tempura, Cream Cheese, Cucumber, Avocado with Spicy Sauce. The volcano roll was also also delicious with Baked California Roll, Cream Cheese with Spicy Sauce. Overall good experience and we will be back for more sushi! - Jess H. read more

shared sushi boats and sake between 6 people and had an absolutely wonderful time. Service is amazing -- cannot stress enough how much that added to our experience. This is the kind of sushi place where you can tell just from walking in that it's going to be a great time. Will be coming back!! read more

We stayed at the AutoCamp across the street and decided to get our dinner to go with it being our last night. Very friendly service and the meal was actually very delicious. I ordered the mackerel (Saba)dinner which actually came with two big servings of fish and plenty of rice. Also with delicious miso tofu seaweed soup and the sunomono side (pickled cucumber and seaweed). The one fish was more than enough portion wise so have one Saba still left to eat. Husband ordered the shrimp tempura dinner which came with four shrimp tempura, 4 tempura scallops and four tempura fish! A lot of tempura which also came with the miso and sunomono side. It doesn't look like much from outside but you will be pleasantly surprised once you enter - you will be greeted by friendly staff behind the sushi bar counter. We were Pleasantly surprised and would definitely come back next time in town. read more

Edomasa has been a gem for a long time. I personally love the pork cutlet Katsu curry. Best Japanese curry in Santa Barbara hands down.

I've finally found my sushi spot in town! & it's close to the newer Handlebar coffee. My husband only eats rice dishes and I love a little bit of both sushi and Japanese homey dishes. In most places in town, they are only good at one or the other. This place is great at both. The family feel of this restaurant is great. They were all so friendly and we felt really welcomed. We can't wait to go back! I've also had their food delivered and it travels really well. read more

Edomasa Sushi Bar & Restaurant - Chirashi bowl to go - Japanese Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

My husband and I take the Amtrak to Santa Barbara about twice a year. We love to visit our favorite places, but also like to try a new place each time. Where we live, sushi places are everywhere and many are good, but none have my favorite dish...sukiyaki. I just had the beef sukiyaki here and it was delicious! The beef was so tender and I have enough leftovers for at least two more meals. Plus, my dinner included miso soup, cucumber salad and mochi ice cream. This place is small and unassuming, but the staff were so attentive and kind. read more

Excellent food, friendly staff and reasonable prices! Casual atmosphere. Bargain full platter meals, too.

Edomasa is one of my favorite places to either drop in or pick up sushi. My absolute favorites are the edomasa, marina, and buffalo volcano roll. Sometimes I decide to switch it up and I will order the oyako don! One thing that I love about this place that is it a late night spot. Yup! They don't close until midnight! So if you get out of a movie late and the popcorn wasn't enough, this gem is the perfect spot to eat at. Enjoy! read more
