    Cucumber roll and avocado roll
    Sharon E.

    Took an overnight trip to Ventura with my husband and we decided on the Sushi House for dinner as it was walking distance to our hotel. It is small and quaint with an outside patio as well as a few tables inside. We chose to sit inside and our server/host told us to sit wherever we liked. He was prompt in taking our drink order and upon returning we decided to try some edamame and the kappa cucumber salad for appetizers. The edamame was steamed and tasted like you would expect steamed edamame to taste. The cucumber salad was a touch underwhelming. The cucumber and daikon were fresh but the ponzu sauce lacked a strong flavor. We asked for additional dressing and our server was more than happy to oblige our request. For our entrees, I selected the Santa Rosa specialty roll and a yellowtail house roll. My husband ordered the cucumber roll, avocado roll and vegetable roll. All of our rolls came out together. They were fresh and I enjoyed the cucumber mixed into my yellowtail roll. The Santa Rosa roll had a nice spice level without overpowering the fish. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his vegetable roll. He said it was one of the best he's ever had. It was full of different veggies, including asparagus, avocado, cucumber and sprouts. Overall we enjoyed our taste of the Sushi House and would consider returning when visiting Ven

    Super fresh fish this was a solid sushi spot. Great customer service as well. Parking is a battle

    County Line Roll (top) and Pacific Roll (bottom)

    The Sushi House is a 10/10 sushi restaurant located on the beach. I worked up an appetite and was not disappointed with the fullness that I left this establishment with. The specially discounted Pacific Roll was promptly suggested to me, which I was happy to add to what I already came in to order: the County Line Roll. The special roll expertly contrasted with the County Line Roll, which is fried and contains cream cheese. The latter roll was one of the tastiest and most flavor-packed rolls that I have ever had in my sushi-eating career. I will be back to try more. If you're reading this and thinking about trying this place, let me help you out--quit thinking and go.

    Came here in a whim . I've been hearing a lot about them so wanted to try them out since I was in the area. Nice service that's for sure . They keep everything pretty clean too. We ordered: Seared red snapper was too dry for my liking and didn't have much flavor to it. Escolar was good. Usually can't go wrong with this sushi . Toro came out instead what I actually ordered , yellowtail belly, but I didn't feel like saying anything since it already came out lol. It was good tho. Giant scallop wish it was cut better. But the consistency was great quality. California roll (not pictured) was pretty good. Overall the sushi was ok but if they worked on perfecting their rice (it was dry and tasteless. Hopefully I came on a bad rice day idk) they'd be so good especially with their location being right next to the beach. Plus they have a cool patio area to enjoy the nice weather.

    I think this is our 3rd time here? Not too impressed with our dining experience... when we got here it wasn't busy "yet" but still felt a little forgotten out on the patio. It's a very tiny restaurant with a very tiny patio. They really could stand to upgrade their tables & chairs (especially the chairs!) it's all old stuff and super uncomfortable... It became very busy and one guy is running everything so our service was understandably poor. The food was just "ok" - one of their sushi specials was the halibut so my husband ordered it and said he didn't like it at all, it was tough. The seared garlic albacore was "good" but sadly seared with a blowtorch and we could taste it yuck! The rolls were pretty good... the Rincon Roll definitely did not have all the stuff in it that the menu described but still was tasty. We waited a long time to be checked on in between orders and when the guy finally came to ask if we were doing alright, we told him we'd like to order more food & he tells us it's really busy so it's probably going to be a while...? Ok? So are you discouraging us to not order more food? Well we did and Honestly it didn't take that long. But the appearance of the roll was not pretty, it looked rushed and plopped on the plate. I'm just being honest? One of the most beautiful things about the sushi experience is presentation and this experience was disappointing. Clearly they were Understaffed. This TOTALLY affected our dining experience which makes us think twice about where we're going to drop $150 on sushi. They needed at least 2 more servers and maybe another sushi guy? Just saying.

    10/10 service and food!! Even though it was packed (well earned), the waiters and chefs were so fast. Fish tasted super fresh and was FLAVORFUL - new favorite Ventura spot!

Loved the enoki mushrooms and yolky boiled egg. Also tried their Godzilla and KAIJUrolls- both were tasty. My husband is not a fan of kewpie mayo so we had it on the side. TIP: ORDER a side of SRIRACHA and a side of GARLIC CHILI OIL. Dipping your sushi in both of these will take your tastebuds to another level!! DRINKS: It was hard to decide between all the different choices. Millennium Falcon Fizz was delicious- reminds me of a Scooby snack, comes with a foamy top. They give you a bottle of water which is nice, but the waitress forgot to give us a refill when we asked for it. Other than that, the staff is friendly and did a good job checking on us. If you're in the area check it out!

    Absolute gem in Ventura! Food was absolutely the best I've had ever had!…read more Bring everyone you know!

    ~ SMALL SPACE, BIG FLAVOR, A HIDDEN GEM ~…read more Gotetsu is one of those blink and you'll miss it spots, but once you're inside, you know you've found something sooo special!! Cozy, intimate, and very much a hole in the wall izakaya, this place is all about authentic Japanese flavors and perfectly grilled skewers. There is NO sushi here (they make that very clear), just kushiyaki, small plates, and goooood vibes. I've never been to Japan (yet), but I would imagine this is what it would be like walking into a small mom and pop shop there. The open kitchen is tiny but fun to watch, and from pretty much any seat you can see your food being made. It's a GREAT date night spot, order a bunch of dishes and share everything so much fun. We came for dinner and with a rotating menu of skewers and specials we were satisfied and it kept things interesting! Lunch is more limited, with preset options, but the quality still hits. The donburi is solid, the chicken curry is comforting (could use a little more protein), and the skewers, especially pork belly, chicken & onion, and meatballs, are seasoned and grilled really well. Veggie skewers like zucchini and brussels sprouts are simple but still tasty. At dinner, my husband and I loved the spicy garlic edamame, chicken thigh with yuzu pepper, ribeye skewer, gyoza, and the yaki onigiri (grilled rice ball with a crispy outside). Pro move: dip the onigiri into the leftover spicy edamame sauce. Trust. Ordering is easy with scan-and-pay, the owner is hands-on, and you can feel the care put into every dish. Take it easy with the ordering (they are typically skewer by skewer because you can easily rack up a hefty bill!) If you're looking for an authentic Japanese izakaya experience in Ventura, focused on flavor, not trends, Gotetsu absolutely delivers.
