This place is SOOO good!! Super fresh and delicious food, wonderful staff and a nice out door seating area. I highly recommend the Harley Davidson Roll if you like spicy sushi and the Snowman roll is delicious too! Grateful for such a wonderful place in the neighborhood. Bonus: As of this review they offer $1 small sake and $2 large sake. read more

Food was good. The tempura was a bit greasy but very good. Large servings. Ordered through Door Dash and received the food still hot.

We have frequented this restaurant a few times and have had good experiences in the past. The food is good. However, with our last experience with the service, we will not be returning. We ordered, the waitress was friendly, and we waited for our appetizer which never came. Our sushi order was delivered by the bus boy. We had ordered a bento box that came with a side of sushi. Our sushi came out, but we never received the bento box order. Our waitress did not check up on us to see how we were doing with our order. We finished our sushi and the waitress came and dropped the bill. We told her that we hadn't received the tempera appetizer or the rest of the bento box. Then the owner came by and explained that there was an issue with the computers and the kitchen staff had not received some of the order. Fair enough- we understood. But the interesting part was that the owner began to break down what we ate and wanted to ensure that we were charged for everything that we ate. She ended up taking 15% off the bill - what her employees get (in my opinion, not the best employee discount, but beside the point.....). For all the trouble with the service and kitchen mix-up, one would think she could do better with customer service. At that point, what is more important, nickel and diming your customer, or ensuring your customer returns? read more

Great service - happily greeted and server and all the staff were smiley and energetic. Me and two friends sat outside on the deck and chairs, table and bench were nice and clean. I ordered karage- fried tempura/tofu- and sashimi mix appetizers - karage was moist and crunchy - as were the tempura and fried tofu - sashimi was fresh and tasty and portions were great. My friends wife ordered a roll/salmon bento and it was delicious according to her and her husband had two big rolls which he enjoyed greatly. Prices were very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food All in all definitely worth visiting read more

Good sushi, especially anything with salmon. Good service. Sitting on the patio was perfect for 6 adults and two little ones. Reasonable prices. What more could you ask for! read more

Solid bento lunch combos with generous portions and quality ingredients. Order online or at their window. If you sit in their patio, they'll bring the food to you packaged. Limited umbrellas so shade seating on a hot day might be hard to come by. read more

Rumble Fish - Three combination bento box. Pork katsu, California Rolls, and Vegetable Tempura. - Japanese Near Me - Scotts Valley, California

Had their dinner with beef and fried salmon. The salmon was unexpectedly really really good. Parking is plentiful, service very friendly, outdoor patio, dog friendly, and the restaurant is clean! They've been in Scott's valley ever since I can remember but I never really went cause they're kind of out of my way. My coworker wanted to go so we went. I'll definitely be back for their salmon. read more

Rumble Fish - SOOOOOOOO GOOD - Japanese Near Me - Scotts Valley, California

Stopped by here yesterday after craving some sushi. You can currently only order to go, but there's a nice patio attached so you can eat on premise. I ordered the Golden California Roll, Lion King and OMG roll. The OMG was my favorite but I really enjoyed all 3 rolls. The rolls are pretty big so come hungry. My bf ordered the Bento box with Chicken Katsu, Beed Teriyaki and an avocado roll. Again the portions were very generous. I'll definitely be back to try a few rolls. read more

Wow!! Some of the BEST SUSHI we've EVER had! We were in the area for a class and had a short 30 minute break. As slammed as this little spot was with other orders, they were so sweet to do their best to get our food out on time, which they absolutely did! Staff was all friendly and you could see they've become friends with a lot of their local customers, which is always so endearing. We drive up & down California a lot for work and as I said, some of the best sushi we've ever had. It was fresh, hearty and they were generous with the portion. So sad they're 3 hours away from home, but, please! Support these people! :) read more

Rumble Fish - Santa Cruz Roll & Asparagus Roll - Japanese Near Me - Scotts Valley, California

My go to Sushi spot almost weekly for as long as I can remember. Luna always has a smile and loves her customers. She runs a tight ship and the online order/pickup process is the smoothest I've experienced in the area. The fish quality is top notch and the restaurant will call you if there are any questions on your order. Some of my favorites include: Shiro Maguro Sashimi (with garlic paste and green onions) and the Tobiko Nigiri (the tiny sweet red ones). Yum. It's also the only place around that lets you fully customize your order (adding/removing ingredients from rolls) AND also gives you all the sides and sauces on the menu to order so you can further customize your rolls yourself. And one of my favorite hacks: get an order of their fresh (red) maguro tuna sashimi and a couple of sides of gyoza and thin slice them to plate a delicious tuna carpaccio and sprinkle with your favorite oil, capers, green onion. Perfect! [*] To Yelp: An older review got removed due to an apparent bug in the review update indexing that erased a different review than was selected (I had 3 stacked/updated reviews previously). read more

Delicious food and good service. They have indoor and outdoor dining. I need to add more words, so, they are on a steep slope, so be sure to set your parking brake. read more

The best sushi I've literally ever had and I have gone to many, but I always go back. They are truly the BEST! Plus they have amazing staff all our friendly. read more

The fully cooked rolls are really good. It was so good we had to order again on Day 2 of our stay in Scotts Valley. We ordered the following: - Super California Roll - OMG - Santa Cruz - San Francisco California RollSan FranciscoSanta Cruz Wish we live closer. read more

I'm new to Scotts Valley, but I just have to say even during COVID times this restaurant delivers nothing but the best. Brian took my order with a smile (mask on) and made sure I got everything I needed and then some. The fish here is INSANELY fresh! My hamachi melted in my mouth. Great outdoor dining and a place I will frequent often. read more

High expectations based on reviews but at least we gave it a shot. Doordashed since we had a gift card. Vegan wise do not recommend. Rolls were mixed with the order so the vegan roll wasn't vegan.. Unfortunately the mayo etc got on half my rolls and my SO ended up eating them.. I would have had an upset stomach. This place is the only Japanese restaurant in the area where it has been an issue. Mobo's, Geisha, Toya etc stuff is separate. The other half of the vegan rolls were poorly rolled and fell apart when I lifted them- taste wise bland not worth the 8.34. The Veggie tempura as also not worth it. Literally only four and a half pieces of tempura for 8.34 and the greasiest tempura we have had in a while. The sunomono salad also small portion for 5.94. The takoyaki was meh according to the SO. The saving graces were the titanic roll and tilapia appetizer. read more

The food here is good but no good food is worth the consistently deplorable customer service. I tried several times and brushed off the slightly off-putting attitude I experienced a few times. My last experience officially has me convinced that I can't go back here. I've never been so disrespected by someone who claimed to be the owner. It's really sad to write off a seemingly good place, but I will not be coming back or recommending this place positively to anyone. I ordered off of their google my business page and didn't realize it's indirectly made through door dash. It was not obvious to me. Because of this, I was reprimanded by the owner and she hung up on me. Thankfully I got a refund but I cannot believe how rudely I was treated. I'll go to otorro or Akira instead. Clearly I was wasting the owner's time with my business, and it will never happen again. read more

Good food, probably best sushi in Scott's valley. There was rather loud music playing but the Copa America on the TV balanced it out.

Had the beef don togo which I was nervous about. But it was delivered and package perfectly absolutely delicious. Great flavors. The leftovers held up well. Also it comes with the side salad and the dressing is amazing. read more

Pre-COVID, we used to enjoy dining in every so often. Now that it's all carryout and online ordering, not so great. The menu is quite innovative, with many items that are sweet, or spicy, or hot, or cold. The problem is that descriptions of items in the online ordering form are totally inadequate to describe them. And while I love spicy, some of what I've recently received was stupid hot, but with not great flavor. We don't like hot sushi things, and we don't like sweet sauces. And quality of the fish has been only so-so. Lately, we've ordered here because Mobu was too busy on a Saturday night to answer the phone to take our order (they have no online ordering for pickup, and we live in Bonny Doon, where nobody delivers). The fact that there's no on-site dining doesn't bother me -- we have vulnerability issues, so we don't eat inside anywhere. And we have no serious issues with the ordering and pickup process -- both of our two recent orders were ready within 10 minutes of the scheduled time, and we got what we ordered. Bottom line -- we'll go elsewhere until the menu allows us to know what we're ordering, and until spicy doesn't just mean hot, but includes flavor. read more

Fishy smell on a few of the rolls we got recently, which made us lose our appetite and rolls fell apart...sloppy. We much prefer Otoro.

Hello, I love sushi, but do not eat it all that often. Vegetarian tendencies are a prime reason. I had looked at the menu for Rumble Fish various times and was amazed at the low prices for some of my favorites: shime-saba, ika, shiro maguro, and bonito. Yesterday I weakened and gave it a whirl. The facility was pleasant and the service people were appropriately attentive. One of the first ways that I judge a sushi bar is the temperature of the fish. If the fish is too cold the flavors are not given a chance to develop. The fish temperature was perfect. I had the above 5 nigiris and found each one to be wonderful. I was also quite surprised at the size of the slices, They were, for my experience, quite large. I totally recommend Rumble Fish for anyone looking for really good sushi at a very fair price. My only problem now is not going there too often. If you like sushi Rumble Fish is a very worthwhile stop for you. Enjoy, Marty read more

This place we found by accident. We were in the mood for sushi and on our way home from Santa Cruz we gave this a try. PRO TIP: order before you get there. Food takes a while and they don't do Dine in. They do have seating but very limited. FOOD: Miss Piggy Baked Roll 10/10 this has bacon which was weird at first but honestly one of the best we've ever had. We had others which were good as well. SERVICE: The man that takes your order is a bit on the rude side but I dont think means to be. They also gave us free food which was in the end cool. I wish they had Dine in. Overa we will come back ans would recommend read more

Good food at a reasonable price. Bento boxes and sushi roll lunch combos and a good way to go. A tasty balanced meal with many options to choose from. Sushi is always fresh and tasty. Luna, one of the owners, can be found at the restaurant many days a week, and is always looking in on her customers, making sure that they are having a good dining experience. She's quirky with a fun personality, and makes sure you feel welcome. We dine there quite often, and will be going again soon. read more

We went to Rumble Fish this evening, the waitress never checked on us aftert she got our appetizer order and part of our main course order. She never came back! We had to flag down her helpers to order anything else and close out our tab. We are really upset because I clearly told her that I wanted a "plain udon with no meat" for my daughter and then when it came my daughter noticed something didn't taste right about it. She's vegetarian and it turns out that the udon had fish in it. The waitress was terrible and apparently good friends with some of the other customers because she was hugging them and inviting them over to her house all while ignoring us for the entire time basically. Our favorite place around here by far is Otoro sushi where the service is great.. even to the point where I would say they check on us too much! In general, we've been avoiding Rumble Fish because the owner strangely would touch my daughter unnecessarily over the years, of us going there, but after deciding to give it another chance this evening, we probably will never be going back again. read more

Sushi has great flavor and you can taste the quality and freshness. My biggest gripes are 1. Wait time could be more accurate. On the website after putting in my order it said 30 minutes, after heading to the restaurant I waited about another 30 Minutes along with a crowd of waiting customers so I waited in my car. I give them props for at least knowing which order they are on and they at least let you know how many orders are ahead of yours. 2. My rolls always fall apart- please roll them tighter! read more

Probably one of the best specialty rolls I've had but I was also disappointed with other things. First I found this place through Yelp and I was craving sushi rolls. They have a great variety of specialty rolls and really good reviews from other people. I was very impressed with the pictures. When I got there apparently they were not doing indoor dining and outdoor was too windy to eat outside. So she suggested I place an order online and even gave me a tip to add a "code" to get 10% off. I asked for a menu because what they had posted outside was too dark to read. She gave me one and I read it in my car. I was surprised that the pricing was actually decent. But when I went to order online it was obviously higher. I wish they would give you updated menus. But then again our world is digital so menus are rare. The San Francisco fully cooked roll was a great roll to get! I also ordered a beef teriyaki roll so that I can get some meat. I was impressed by the packaging and presentation of both the rolls, it was very nice. The SF role was bomb!! Omg soo good!! A combination of cooked salmon, cream cheese, avocado and whatever sauce they used. It was actually a big portion too. But the beef teriyaki roll failed. Because the meat they used obviously wasn't great, it was chewy, and had a lot of "fat" in it that made it taste bad. But at least it wasn't expensive. You get what you pay for...haha. I'm not in love with this place but it was a good try. Great rolls but not great meats. read more

I have to be honest with you all, I love Sushi and Japanese cuisine but trying to find a decent restaurant in the Santa Cruz area that gives your money's worth, is pretty hard to find, in this area. Santa Cruz is a major tourist and vacationers hot spot and because of that, we who live in this beautiful area have to put up with a lot of mediocre restaurants that serve lower than average food at redicuously High prices! However, Rumble Fish in Scott's Valley, is a Great Sushi and Japanese restaurant! Sure, sushi is pricey but any fan of sushi already knows that! But Rumble Fish is an excellent restaurant, that gives you your money's worth! My favorite entree is their Sashimi and Nigiri combo, that includes Miso Soup, Dinner Salad, Several Pieces of Sashimi, Several Pieces of Nigiri, a full California Roll And the massive Godzilla Roll! When you get your order, you'll notice how Fresh everything is, And how generous the slices of fish are! They are HUGE, Fresh and Delicious! "Yum-Yum-YUMMERS! (Trust me, you Definitely get your money's worth at Rumble Fish!)...I always have enough left over, that I can enjoy Sushi for the next couple of days! If you're not a sushi lover, Don't Worry! The Menu at Rumble Fish is Huge and includes Soups, Salads, Noodle Dishes, Tempuras, Teriyaki, Appetizers, and a large selection of Rolls! They also have a large selection of vegetable and vegan dishes too! Trust me! You'll love Rumble Fish! Visit them today!!! read more

Ever since cherry blossom sushi closed you have been our favorite. We drive from the west side of Santa Cruz and have enjoyed at least one meal a month if not three there since We have over looked the issues during Covid and the numerous times you didn't get our order quite right. But I do have to say your rice is really not our favorite. Akira is much much better and our dream would be for you guys to take a look at your rice It's not that wonderful and a revitalization of this could really improve your overall rating. read more

Absolutely wonderful. Food was yummy and the vibes were good. Our server, Nessa was lovely and made the experience just that much better. 10/10 will be returning. read more

Consistently good food, friendly service. The ambience is nice; good to eat outside on a sunny winter's day. I have a sesame seed aversion and they are always happy to accommodate that. Once the server didn't tell the kitchen and I got a sesame seed covered roll that they immediately re-made. They offered to take it off the bill but we declined, as it was not anything the kitchen did wrong. We're lucky to have Rumblefish here in Scotts Valley. read more

This is a somewhat understated sushi spot what has big flavor. They have their own lot for parking which isn't any big deal to get in or out of at any time.No worries on parking here. Inside it's smaller space. More or less two sections for dining, and six to seven stool spots inches away from the fish counter. Sometimes the counter seating is the best spot to be in sushi places, but this is not so here-all you see are fish parts on ice. Generally speaking your best off at one of the tables in the dining area. Decor is of a american small restaurant theme with light japanese overlays. Nothing too exceptional, but also nothing that will make you feel uncomfortable. Service is pretty solid and they can pump out orders pretty fast if you are in the lunch rush hurry, otherwise take it nice and slow. Having said that bear in mind the sushi is made to order when ordered, which means that if all six of your orders are sushi it may be a minute or ten. No real weaknesses on the menu-I find the bento specials to be the way to go for sure as they are nicely balanced combos and unusually the veg options are pretty tasty. Good news if you are the kind of vegetarian what goes to sushi places. Overall this is a very reliable, consistent, and tasty bento/sushi spot. read more

Rumble Fish - Japanese Near Me - Scotts Valley, California

Ordered 3, 2 item combo plates. Arrived early to pick up. Order wasn't ready. I live .2 miles away. Yes, point 2 miles. Every Hot Item was cold like it's been sitting for a while. I guess if you want hot food, you have to eat there. We used to get to-go because we were so close and food was always warm when we sat down at home to eat. Seriously bummed. Rumble used to be the best deal in town. But now, I'd rather pay more for less as long as it's warm. read more

Awesome sushi rolls, great selection, great service, online ordering is a plus. Our go to sushi spot.

I went to go pick up delivery orders. I came in twice in one day and both times that I went I told the hostess I was picking up food for a delivery order in English and the second time I went the lady looked at me and pointed to the two bags of food and said "This one caliente , this one frío" I've never had someone assume I can't speak English much less do it so openly with other customers behind me waiting to be helped. I've decided I will never come here as a customer, please ask your staff to treat others with respect. read more

Yum and great service. I really enjoyed sitting o ur side and getting a roll and drinking a beer.
