    Late night grub
    Lindsay W.

    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!

    Super cozy place, delicious food and attentive service! Will go again when we are back in the area!

    I think it was still alive Not cooked Was told this is medium but I don't think it was even close to that

    Salmon bowl is delicious
    Mr F.

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

    Salmon hamachi bowl
    Corinna W.

    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.)

    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.

Got the shishito peppers and they were flavorful and not too spicy! Can't go wrong with a few sushi rolls. Our server was sweet and attentive. The vibes for this restaurant is around intimate depending where you sit but also loud and vibey if indoors. Great place to visit but make sure to make reservations for the outdoor patio on the second level for views of the ocean and the pier!

The miso soup was pretty "meh", but the salad with its miso dressing was tasty, as was the shrimp and veggie tempura; nothing outstanding, but on point. The pork-filled gyoza were also fresh and delicious. The "Bluefin tuna 6 ways" was outstanding: each presentation highlighted different cuts of the fish and each one was delicious and a bit different, really good. My girl had some green tea mochi she liked; I tasted it and it didn't do much for me, but... Wine pours by the glass are generous and reasonable, and the service was just fine, courteous and attentive. This is a small restaurant and it can get kind of noisy and crowded, but that's also a testament to the fact people know how good this place is. If you're a local you probably know this, but if you're a visitor (like we were) be sure to check this place out if you're in Santa Barbara and craving really good Japanese food. Recommended.

Every bite tasted clean and high quality, making it a solid choice for anyone looking to enjoy a range of seafood in one dish. I also ordered the Ultimate 10, which features ten pieces of premium nigiri. While the fish itself was certainly fresh, I found it difficult to justify the $80 price tag. There was nothing wrong with the quality, but the overall experience didn't quite feel proportionate to the cost. If you're looking to maximize value, I'd probably steer toward some of the other menu offerings instead. I love uni (sea urchin) and it was particularly fresh, creamy, and rich without being overly briny. Another surprise was the Gold Shot, featuring quail egg, uni, chives, and ponzu. The combination works beautifully, delivering a burst of creaming, savory, and bright flavors in a single bite. The Popcorn Rock Shrimp was also a winner, crispy and satisfying without feeling overly heavy. The Wakame salad (seaweed) was also refreshing making it a great palate cleanser between some of the richer dishes. The Wokked Edamame was also quite yummy with the garlic chile sauce. The restaurant was bustling during my visit, creating a lively atmosphere that reflected its popularity. Despite how busy it was, the staff remained friendly, and welcoming, and attentive. Be sure to make reservations. Overall, Arigato delivers on freshness and quality, which is ultimately what matters most at a sushi restaurant. While I wasn't completely sold on the value of some of the higher priced items, there were enough standout dishes throughout the meal to make it a worthwhile visit. I'd happily return and explore more of the menu on a future visit.

Had reservations for 7 pm dinner on Friday. The place wasn't busy during our entire dining experience. Aside from a larger table of ~10 people and 2 smaller tables, the place was empty, which was nice and quiet for date night and anniversary celebration. The 9-course Kaiseki was plate after plate of flavor. Highlights: - Course 4: Somen with sweet broth, grilled beef, and grilled green onion. THIS. The beef was so good, I refused to swallow, so I could savor the flavor. Fatty in flavor. Lean in cut. Somen cooked to perfection. - Course 7: Chilean sea bass simmered in bonito chicken broth with daikon and green beans ~ THE SEA BASS WAS GAS. Marinated in miso before grilling, the tenderness and juiciness of the sea bass is locked in prior to simmering in the broth. Chicken broth with the bonito added depth to the dish. - Course 9: Black sesame pudding with tangerine jelly ~ THIS. This dish embodied the level of black sesame I expect for any dish. Tangerine jelly cuts through as a nice refresher for the next bite. Perfectly not too sweet. All in all, I had the best experience. Each component of a dish adds its own flavor that completes the dish as a whole. Ultimately, one of my favorite culinary experiences that took my taste buds on a journey! Would return!

We were drawn in by the happy hour specials, which were advertised until 7:30 p.m. We arrived at 7:15 p.m. and ordered a couple of appetizers from the happy hour menu, along with miso soup and sushi rolls. At the time, we were the only two customers seated in the dimly lit dining room. As soon as our appetizers arrived, gnats began swarming our table. One landed on my water glass, and another ended up in our soy sauce. After dealing with a couple of them, we felt rushed to finish our meal before more appeared, which made for a very unpleasant dining experience. The food itself was decent, but nothing memorable. The miso soup could have been served hotter, though I did appreciate that it wasn't overly salty. Our server was friendly, attentive, and our food arrived promptly. One aspect that made the experience uncomfortable was that the four staff members stood nearby watching us eat, which gave the impression they were waiting for us to finish and leave. Finally, despite ordering multiple happy hour appetizers before the advertised cutoff time, only one item was discounted at the happy hour price. Overall, the service was good, but the insect issue, uncomfortable atmosphere, and pricing left us disappointed. Unfortunately, this isn't a restaurant we'll be returning to.
