Best sushi on the central coast hands down. Fresh fish, clean, nice atmosphere, and friendly service.

Whatever you do, don't go here. Seriously, don't go there. I cannot emphasize this enough! Leave more sushi time for me, please. Seating is already too limited, I don't need the rest of you fools filling up the seats. WHATEVER YOU DO, PLEASE DON'T GO THERE :) read more

At Nogi we discovered the BEST sushi I have tasted in many years, while celebrating our wedding anniversary. The ambience was charming, and unique, the meal was exquisite (Bluefin & Yellowtail Toro, tuna, salmon, et al., all of which melted in the mouth, as well as delicious sashimi and truly excellent "standard" and specialty rolls, and ESPECIALLY delicious Tamago...which constituted our dessert as we could not physically eat another bite!). The hospitality at Nogi was absolute perfection. This clean, intimate, inviting establishment is run with care, positivity, and a clearly deep affection for the art of preparing and serving sushi, without even a hint of pretension. 10/10. The hype is real. If able, I will definitely be returning for omakase. (Note: the itamae seemed to have overheard that my wife was having a little trouble with the generously portioned nigiri and very helpfully cut the last few pieces just for her; the rest of the meal was served traditionally. So thoughtful!) Dine at Nogi. I suspect you will not be disappointed! read more

Food quality is exceptionally good Service is friendly Nice atmosphere but only three tables so reservations highly. read more

Came here one evening to try this place out. It's small with not alot of seating so reservations would be required outside of lockdown. Service was good. Food takes a little bit to get, especially if they are busy but that comes when you get fresh quality food. They had some typical choices and not so typical. Would definitely go back when the sushi mood strikes. read more

Best takeout sushi I've had in a long time (maybe ever)! We ordered takoyaki, a salmon special roll, 2 classic salmon rolls, and a shrimp tempura roll. They were quite generous with the fish we received (as you can see in the picture I provided). The rice texture was perfect and the fish tasted fresh and delicious. The Takoyaki and Shrimp tempura roll were also great and helped us fill up before getting to the more expensive items. We will definitely be back! read more

Nogi - Salmon Special roll and Classic Salmon Roll (x 2) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Atascadero, California

Absolutely charming place with great sushi. My partner inadvertently offended the owner, but turned it around for a wonderful experience.

Incredible sushi! We got the albacore special roll (our favorite), salmon special roll, rainbow roll, California roll with masago, tempura and takoyaki. Sometimes when you get fried food all you can taste is the batter but both were so flavorful! Best yakotaki I've ever had!! I was also impressed with the sauces. I also couldn't find the full menu anywhere online so here it is. They have specials so ask if you call in your order! We got the uni nigiri today. read more

Super authentic and fish are amazingly fresh & great quality!! Owned by a lovely & super friendly Japanese couple with beautiful smiles! Very limited tables and usually busy with reservations but you can still enjoy their amazing sushi TO GO :) Oh their HARUMAKI is an unique but crispy and yummy :) Highly recommend!!! read more

Came here on a recommendation from friends. I was super excited to see that Atascadero is stepping up their sushi game. Chef Nogi and his family were very nice! You can tell from the quality of the sushi that everything was fresh. My favorite thing was their Albacore Toro! $5 apiece because it's difficult to procure right now but completely worth it. Due to the pandemic, they only have 4 outdoor tables available. Luckily they now take reservations. I wouldn't recommend this place if you have a party of more than 4 people, as there isn't enough seating at this time. Otherwise, solid spot to get sushi! read more

I was so pleasantly surprised how good our meal was at Nogi! As out-of-towners from LA, we have eaten some pretty damn good sashimi and nigiri sushi in our lives and when I saw how many rolls were on the menu, I was worried about what kind of sushi we were eating. You know, there's the, "OMG, I totally LOVE sushi (proceeds to order tempura, California roll, dragon roll, and anything but un-sauced fish)!" And then there's tasting the delicate flavor of the freshest fish, understanding that the chef will dress the fish with whatever sauce it might need, so there's no need to add extra, etc. I think Nogi hits on both notes, which is a smart business plan! The 'tempura and roll ordering' delegation in our party seemed pleased with what they ordered. We were in love with some of the special items that night: Wild King Salmon (not easy to find wild salmon nigiri), Blue Fin Tuna (ridiculously good!), and Uni (so fresh and tasty!). On the regular menu, the Mackerel and Scallop were also delicious. We dined outside in a lovely little courtyard (I think the restaurant only has 4 or 5 tables outside and is super small inside); reservations are a must. Service was nice and friendly (one of chef's daughters). They also have a nice, albeit small, selection of sake and beer. What more could you ask for?? Definitely check it out if you're a local or in the area visiting locals, like we were =) read more

I love Nogis!!! Always great service and the freshest, most delicious sushi (and poke bowls) around!

Awesome new sushi restaurant in town! Highly recommend. Reasonable prices too. Have to make a reservation for dine in. We also got to watch them get a delivery of fresh fish from Morro Bay which was pretty cool. Boyfriend and I shared a bottle of sake and tempura shrimp/veggies to start. Also each ordered miso soup and a special roll combo. The combo included one of their special rolls plus four pieces of nigiri (chefs choice). Food was fresh and delicious. Service was incredible. We will be back for sure! read more

Nogi - Special roll + nigiri combos: salmon (front), tuna (back). Chef gets to select the four nigiri pieces - Sushi Bars Near Me - Atascadero, California

Cute restaurant with delicious sushi and super friendly service. This is one of those places you can't shop by prices alone. Look at the stellar reviews and know that you are getting quality GENEROUS cuts of freshness. The chirashi cuts were especially thick and satisfying. We were just passing through Atascadero from SoCal to NorCal and hoped the in-between north of San Luis Obispo wouldn't be a food desert and we are finding very good eats along the way!! If it weren't for the miles, I'd happily make this my go-to for sushi. Alas, its a compelling reason to take the 101 instead of the 5. read more

I've read all the bad reviews and it's bologna! The ambiance is amazing, it's cute and intimate! The owners are wife and husband, they are the sweetest people who are so fun to talk to! Don't even get me started on the food it was amazing!!! Big portions for the prices and absolutely delicious and fresh! I would recommend this place a thousand times over!!!!!!!! read more

It's small, it's kind of hidden and it is a GEM of a find in downtown Paso. They only have a few tables and are way popular for their takeout but I gotta say... wow. Outstanding fresh catches, perfect slices and preparations and unbelievably affordable! Expert owner/chef is a true sushi master and we recommend you order off the catch of the deal menu - but feel free to add in some very light tempura if you want a little extra cooked something. read more

This hidden gem in Atascadero. There's only three tables currently so you definitely need to make a reservation but totally worth it. The food was amazing and the atmosphere is lovely. The musical choice is equally great. Imagine mellow jazz covers of some of your favorite songs. Try the yellowtail, magnificent. Will definitely be back. read more

Great little place in downtown Atascadero. Food quality was excellent. Everything was tasty and high quality. Service was excellent as it's run by owners. Seating is limited but totally goes with the vibe. We will be back for more! read more

Price follows quality. This place is quality. Probably the highest quality sushi in our little town. On Wednesdays you might be fortunate to spot the Mayor of Traffic Way, Herman the dog, and his owner picking up sushi before heading to Raconteur Room for trivia night. read more

Worth the hype, I cannot find a single thing about this place I don't like. The owners are absolute gems. Husband and wife team so their hours of operation are a bit fluid depending on how busy they are, but it actually adds to the appeal. Freshest fish I've had outside of the Pacific Northwest. Also, very simple menu so you're not overloaded with options. Highly, highly recommend. read more

Stopped in for the first time (based on the amazing reviews) to get dinner "to go" for "Date Night" at home. It did NOT disappoint!! Outstanding sushi (arguably the best we've ever had), large portions, beautifully packaged by the very nice husband & wife team owners, and reasonably priced! We will definitely be back - maybe even to dine-in since the setting and atmosphere were just as appealing. read more

Not your typical sushi place. They only have three table, it's mostly for takeout. I had the sashimi. It was fresh but I preferred sitting down to enjoy my food there. read more

Great mom and pop business. Service was spot on. Food was excellent! Decorated really cute.

Came here with my friends during our girls trip weekend. Found this place randomly for lunch and decided to go. We asked the chef for omakase (not on the menu) and he delivered. Everything was so fresh and good and prices were reasonable too (around $75 pp including taxes and tips). We loved it so much we decided to order omakase for dinner as well! read more

Nogis is an absolute treasure. Not only does Nogi himself curate the finest fish options in our county, but the service you receive from him and his family is absolutely unparalleled. The warmth and passion you experience while there is rivaled only by the quality of offerings and caliber of execution. We are so lucky to have such a special business in our community and can't encourage you all to try it enough. With only 3 tables, please plan ahead and don't be afraid to take food out. Can't wait to return read more

I can't tell you how happy I am to have Nogi Sushi in Atascadero! I went today for the first time and I was very impressed. By far the best sushi in Atascadero and possibly the entire county. We had the Chirashi and nigiri combo with rainbow roll. The fish quality and freshness was stellar. Service was very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back soon to try more off the menu. read more

I had the gift of being treated here by a friend and I have to say that this was an absolute treat. I was looking for good, high-quality sushi and I can say without a doubt that this place has this and more. I will try and remember everything I ate as I did not take pictures sadly. We had the takoyaki, tempura mix (shrimp and veggies), miso soup, eel roll, rainbow roll, and three specials consisting of: bluefin oro, salmon skin roll, and I believe it was a bluefin tenderloin. my friend ordered two kinds of rolls for himself but I cannot remember those nor did I try them. I have to say that I loved every bit of it. The miso soup tasted authentic and the best I have had out here and really in general. The bluefin oro special they had that day was my favorite of everything. The meat melted in your mouth and burst with so much flavor. The nice part is that after eating all these dishes, I did not feel sick like I normally do with sushi. It is prepared very well and you can tell right away. You leave feeling full and not feeling sick or with an upset stomach. It really stands out as an authentic and delicious place to get sushi. Additionally, upon walking in the owners greeted us and welcomed us in. The woman serving us checked in on us and was very kind and humorous. The chef greeted us and chatted with us as well. Both are kind and friendly people. The atmosphere was welcoming inside and inviting on the outside. There is not too much seating to be sure to either get there early or do what we did and make a reservation. I had a wonderful experience here and will definitely come back when I visit the area again. read more

WOW This is hands down the best authentic sushi in probably the entire county of San Luis Obispo. I had the Albacore roll and the fish was so fresh. The flavors that they melded together were out of this world!! The service was prompt, great and seating outside was so cute. I want to bring everyone I know here so they can experience this little diamond in the rough read more

Fresh, flavorful, amazing sushi. Also one of only very few places that offers real wasabi. It's just a little extra because the ingredients are apparently hard to find, but if you haven't tried it it's definitely worth a try. I never eat the green pasty stuff one normally gets with sushi, but the real stuff is like if horseradish and tomatilla salsa had a baby. Okay, that kind of sounds gross, actually. But believe me - it's amazing. Anyway, I digress. Back to the sushi. SO, so good! I didn't know this place even existed until recently, and we don't even live in Atascadero, but we'll be back for sure! read more

This place is the best sushi available in all of SLO county!! This place is family owned and the employees always seems so grateful and happy to be patronized. Full discretion, this is mostly a takeout place. The restaurant could sit maybe 4 people total but the flavors and service make it beyond worth it. We live over 15 mins away and we would pick ordering from here and eating at home or on a picnic than eating in at any other sushi place in SLO. My partner and I feel lucky to have such a reliable and consistent sushi restaurant as an option. read more

This place is very small. We were lucky to get a table at lunch time. This place, without a doubt was some of the best fish both in portions and freshness/quality I've had in quite some time. When in Atascadero we will be coming back for sure read more

By far the best sushi that I have had in SLO County. The owners are so nice and welcoming every time that we go in. I recommend the albacore special roll, but all are amazing. Make sure to check out their "roll of the week" those are always worth adding on to your order! read more
