I've only eaten in the restaurant once and that was maybe 10 years ago. But wee regularly get takeout. The food has always been universally excellent, high quality, generous portions, ready on time, accurately fulfilled. Highly recommended. read more

Love Rumble Fish, one of the best sushi places in the area for sure! No hesitation recommending them very highly!!

Had two great experiences in a row there now. First time with a buddy, where we went on a sushi binge, second time with family. Both times the food was excellent. I've had rolls, nigiri, and sashimi, and all were very good. My better half prefers rolls whereas I've always leaned towards Sashimi. At Rumble Fish I don't feel you can go wrong because the preparation and ingredients are immaculate. The service is provided by the sweetest ladies out there. They are wonderful, super attentive, and love chit chatting with my son, who apparently adores them. Again, if you're looking for sushi and having that craving, give this place a try. You won't regret it. read more

We moved here in November of 2020 and we are big time sushi fans and we looked up sushi near me and we chose this one and it is so delicious satisfying every time read more

This is the best sushi in Santa Cruz! We order here regularly and are always happy with the food. They get very busy, but their online ordering system gives you a specific time for pick up. The lunch and dinner combos are the best, and portion sizes are good for the pay! read more

They don't accept cash anymore. Businesses should always accept legal tender. Hope they start again. This rule in SF is great. http://www.ktvu.com/news/san-francisco-s-cashless-ban-now-in-effect-stores-that-don-t-comply-could-get-slapped-with-fine?fbclid=IwAR0FJ-RP5DpTa2ua4hYAA6Q5MWDyCvPRstwB6T9myWrg14pXw83d0XdEVi0 read more

Rumble Fish was never let me down! Although the pandemic has closed down the indoor seating, Rumble Fish has made it so easy to order online and the quality of food has never wavered. I'm happy to recommend Rumble Fish! read more

We just happened to pass this place and we were kinda hungry. Sushi was super fresh. Would highly recommend.

Great food at a reasonable price and a non-threatening casual atmosphere. What more could you want?

Been getting doordash for work for the whole pandemic. One of our favorite lunch spots. Food is always fresh and tasty.

By far one of my favorite sushi restaurants on this side of the hill! Personally, I'm a huge fan of small and homey restaurants and Rumble Fish is no exception. The design of the restaurant is very relaxing and they portray an authentic Japanese style. The service is superb, they always make sure things are well and occasionally refill my water when it reaches halfway. The chefs are also super friendly, sometimes when the waitresses are in the back, I would just make eye contact with one of the sushi chefs and they would ask if I needed anything. The main reason that I come here is definitely due to their variety of special sushi rolls. My favorite rolls are: Lion King, Volcano, Las Vegas, Spider roll, and a few others that I do not remember at the moment. They also have another menu for bento boxes and udon. Omg, I always get an order of nabe udon with my rolls; the broth is amazing and there's a generous amount of udon. I can't say much about the nigiri and sashimi, but I definitely recommend this place if you are a fan of specialty rolls. There is no other restaurant on this side of the hill that has such a variety! read more

Scotts Valley has much better sushi options than Santa Cruz, which is a shame because you'd think it'd be the other way around due to our close proximity to the beach right? Nope :( 1) The service: This is the main reason they only get 3 stars. My group of 3 walked in with a pre-existing reservation with 3 groups ahead of us. Thankfully, because of the reservation we were seated first but there was no hostess at the front. One server was able to help seat us after less than a 10 minute wait, but during those 10 minutes no one came to the front at all--we had to stop a waitress and ask her if anyone was coming up. Our waitress took forever to come to our table. It was Friday night, dinner time, so it kinda makes sense. I understand if you can't come and check up on us every ten minutes but to never come to our table is sucky. She literally only got our drink orders & brought them to us, after that we were served our food by a gentleman (he looked like a sushi chef) and our check was brought to us by someone completely different--someone we had to randomly flag down. One thing that was pretty cool was when we walked out all the sushi chefs said "thank you" and "come again." PLUS a waitress actually thanked up and bowed as we were leaving. Totally didn't expect that :) 2) The food: Really fresh food and the presentation is what I'd expect from most sushi places. Nothing super fancy in terms of plating but really, it's the taste that matters. Overall, good food--Except my potato salad thing that came in the bento box. Edamame app was a gigantic serving. 3) The location: Maybe it was my map quest, because it honestly probably was, but this place was a little hard to find. If you can get on the street this restaurant is on, just keep going straight and you'll find it haha...my mapquest made me turn 4 different times before we got here. Why? No Idea. (Note: I didn't remove stars for this at all, just something I wanted to mention) 4) Atmosphere: I think it's because we came on such a busy night that we didn't enjoy our first time as much as we should have. It was so busy and that took away from everything--crying babies and no service = meh atmosphere. read more

The sushi is always delicious. The servers are friendly. I love that you can order online. This is always our go to sushi restaurant.

Excellent food. Wait times are extremely long and a food pick up disorganized. It would be better to have them text when the food is ready, versus waiting half an hour past the time they committed to have the food ready. read more

Came here to celebrate my friends Birthday and their sushi is so good. We tried all of their vegan rolls. My favorite was the veggie pop star roll. read more

Went back here today with my boyfriend to show how great this restaurant was like the last time I went, and it was just as great, maybe even better! We were seated right away and the owner of the restaurant gave us a deep-fried crab roll on the house! Woo-ey, nothing attracts a customer more than free food! I'll definitely be back again soon. We ordered a two-item bento box for us each during dinner time, as well as a dragon roll. The dragon roll literally came out two minutes after we ordered it, and I've never experienced faster service in my life when it came to making sushi. And as expected, it was fresh and tasty. My salmon teriyaki was very tender and I loved how the skin was crispy. My boyfriend's chicken katsu was fresh tasting as well. Rumble Fish, you have definitely won my heart more than once :) read more

Really fresh yellowtail. I will be eating there as often as I can. The lunch was too much food for me to finish.

Used to love going there for sushi to dine in. Will they ever open up again for that??

Best sushi ever good Service. Also locally owned. The owners are good with kids and also they have very good chicken Katsu read more

A solid 5 stars! I love this place!! Food: The food here is DE-LISH!! I've never liked udon noodles (even though i'm a noodle soup lover) since I've never experienced good udon noodle soup. Rumble fish has the BEST udon noodle soup I've ever tasted and I order it almost everytime I eat here. The rolls are also very good and decent size with fair prices. Service: I'm greeted every time by the host, waitress/waiters, and chefs whenever I enter the restaurant. After being seated, I'm given water with a cucumber slice in it (pleasantly different from the usual piece of lemon). They will come over from time to time to check on you and refill your water. Ambiance: This place is very cute with great decors. I also love how this place is very clean! It's a great place for lunch with co-workers, out with friends, or even a date. read more

Best Japanese place in the SC area that I've tried so far!! I was never really a fan of sushi or Japanese food in general, but this place has turned me into a believer! This is my boyfriend's go-to place when he takes me out for lunch/dinner (even though he hates seafood) because he knows I love it here. I always get a 3-item bento box with chicken katsu, salmon teriyaki, and a california roll (seriously really good). It comes with rice, miso soup, and a salad (that I don't really eat because vegetables). They also sometimes give us a tiny roll for free while we're waiting for our food to come out which is cool I guess. I'm not really sure what's in it but I eat it anyway and it tastes okay. They also put cucumber slices in your ice water, if you're into that. The staff is really nice and attentive. + points for cleanliness!! I can't wait to come back soon! read more

Rumble Fish - The food is amazing... I love it here! :) - Japanese Near Me - Scotts Valley, California

Ordered take-out and it is as good as ordering from the sushi bar. This place is simple yet delicious- food is amazing. The take-out line was long right at opening but the staff moved through everyone with quickness. Highly recommend getting some food from here. Ordered mothers day night 5 minutes after opening and am eating it 40 minutes later while writing this review. First time being here as well. Have been to Akira and pleanty places around the western us read more

Looks odd on the outside looks nice on the inside the fact that this man is screaming in front of me is awkward. Lol But the food is pretty good. I enjoy the poke Bowl I ordered. read more

The service was outstanding. My family and I walked in last night at 9:15pm for a quick bite and they closed at 9:30- they greeted us warmly, gave us a free roll for an appetizer (Rink Roll and wow, that in and of itself was 5 stars) - and continued to be prompt and friendly. The menu was filled with pictures (awesome) and we ordered the Orange Blossom Roll, TNT, Aloha Roll and Spider Roll- all of which were EXCELLENT. There was even a unisun "WOW" at the table, which doesn't happen too often with sushi. Lastly, when the waiter brought the check, he also brought over a piece of chocolate icecream cake for my son from the employee birthday they were celebrating to the side. Way to put the cherry on the top Rumble Fish! Thanks for the experience, we'll be back for sure!! read more

I always enjoy dining at Rumble Fish. I usually get the bento box with teriyaki chicken, California Rolls, and tempura. It is always fresh and delicious and the service is exceptional. read more

Darn good sushi. That sums up this place. I've eaten at this establishment numerous times over the past couple years and have never been disappointed with the food. Would be a solid 5 stars if not for the spotty service. Luckily, the service was decent tonight. My hubby and I dined for dinner and it fulfilled the sushi craving we've had for a while. We ordered a Crazy Horse Roll, Ika nigiri, Uni nigiri and Ama-Ebi nigiri. Everything was really good and very fresh. My only wish was that my Ika nigiri was served with a Shiso leaf in place of the seaweed strip, but that's personal preference. A complimentary Rink Roll was offered and gladly accepted. I will continue to return again and again! read more

Amazing food but a little pricey, but that makes sense for sushi, there's not much seating and not much to look at but at least they can make a family worth of food pretty quick. read more

The best, freshest sushi in Scotts Valley. Great price points and very tasty. Highly recommend.

I loooove this place!!! The new mushroom bomb is BOMB!!! The fire dragon roll os awsome!!! During lunch, roll combination special is the most cheapest with most rolls!!! read more

Wonderful food as always! Have not eaten here in so long!! They have a great system for safe pick up during pandemic. The vegan had vegan rolls and shitake rolls and broccoli rolls, son had bento box and 3 way shared aloha rolls (my favorite) miso soup and warriors roll and tempura mix. Tempura was very tasty and crispy. Ordered online and the menu is very easy to use and to individualize. We will be ordering again very soon!! read more

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. We got the lunch special which comes with 2 rolls, miso soup, and salad, as well as the Pier 39, Rocky, and Chef's Special. The food is fresh and the portions are definitely what you pay for. They no longer accept cash. read more

First time here a couple of weeks ago and it is now one of my favorite sushi spots. We got this spicy mango roll, which was more on the sweet side. It was too sweet for me, but perfect for my boyfriend. In addition, my bf got the salmon lover and I got the yellowtail lover. I love the set up on these dishes! You get some sashimi, nigiri and rolls! What?!? And it is delicious! What is happening?!! I was very pleased and so was my boyfriend. We also got the spicy edamame to start and it was yummy. It wasn't as spicy as I expected and slightly overcooked/steamed, but it was good and my boyfriend could eat them too. Definitely a place to try (and for us, go back and try more!). read more

Best sushi in town and it's walking distance from my house! My kids LOVE the Aloha roll and bento boxes. I love the Dora Dora and Summer Breeze. The food is always FRESH. I ordered take out tonight and was missing 2 items. I called to let them know and they delivered the missing items plus a bonus CA roll to my house!!! THANK YOU Rumble Fish! read more

Been going here for my whole life, really amazing food. Never disappointed and sometimes the food takes a bit but I suggest ordering from their website (not grub hub) and you get 20% off!! read more

We have been dining at Rumble Fish for years including outdoor dining through Covid. On December 28th we took my son and daughter in law to Rumble Fish for my son's birthday. We came away happy diners. Our sushi order was fresh, delicious and came to our table in a timely matter. As busy as they were, their staff was cool, calm, friendly and doing a wonderful job. Kudos to them! Thank you Rumble Fish! read more

This place i great amazing sushi and way better then orato the other sushi place in town and cheaper

Stopped in here to get someone a gift certificate, and thought we would try it out. Sure glad we did. I only had one roll (the Golden California - tempura fried california roll), but the waitress brought us a sample of something else. Im not sure what the something was, but it was soooo good. The staff is super friendly, like a lot of good japanese restaurants and sushi bars. The food was great. Can't wait to go back again. read more

Rumble Fish - Golden California roll - Japanese Near Me - Scotts Valley, California

Came here today and ordered Salmon Sashimi, and the Oh Yes! roll. Service was excellent! The waitress was very attentive and friendly. My friend ordered the salmon teriyaki that came with miso soup, but when he opted out of the miso soup, she came with two bowls of salad (one for me, too)! We also got a little bowl of japchae (korean clear noodles) that was delicioussss. Salmon Sashimi (6 pcs for $10.95): Six fat, fresh slices of salmon. That's all you need to know. Yummmm! Oh Yes! roll ($7.95): Salmon, tuna, yellowtail, and cream cheese on the inside, a ton of rice, and then seaweed to wrap it all up, and some special mayo sauces on top. Like I said, a ton of rice. The roll itself was very wide, but all I tasted was a mouthful of rice and some cream cheese. It was definitely overpowering the small pieces of fish inside. The mayo sauce drizzled on top was overwhelming, too, and I ended up scraping it all off before eating it. My friend also got a roll, that seemed to have a lot of rice. The other special rolls on the menu were on the pricey side, and considering how much rice there was in the two rolls we ordered, I don't think it's worth it. If you're looking for sashimi and nigiri with great service, this is a place worth trying, but if you're looking for more special rolls, I'd look elsewhere. There are places with delicious rolls and fresh fish nearby, so I unfortunately don't think I'll be coming back. (I don't want to name another restaurant name in this review, but I wrote a review for another sushi joint in Scott's Valley if you wanna check it out!) read more

Rumble Fish - Salmon teriyaki and salmon sashimi - Japanese Near Me - Scotts Valley, California

Just ordered from door dash....so fresh! Cannot wait to try it in person when everything opens back up!

FOOD 3/5: Just average food compared to the Japanese restaurants in Scotts Valley. It's not worth eating here if Otoro is open. Their sushi is vastly inferior, in terms of quality and quantity for the price. SERVICE 4/5: Service was not memorable, but nothing negative to share either. The owner was taking shots with some guy at the bar, which was kind of strange to see. AMBIANCE 3/5: Kind of whack interior. Trying to be Japanese style but it's not really working for them with how their restaurant is shaped and designed. PARKING 5/5: Parking is fine. NOTES: Take the 5 minute drive and go to Otoro. read more
