This place is trash!!! Not friendly at all. First mistake. was even thinking of going here for sushi. 2nd the old man behind the sushi bar said no bar seating. So we waited for the old woman behind the register. For about 5 min. She was bagging something and turned around and walked away. Never greeted us and never asked us to take a seat. Guess they dnt want business. First sign when walking in was no customers. read more

I'm impressed with the chef's ability to consistently cook a great meal. I believe it's called a Bento chicken that thing is outstanding. Every single time. read more

This place was reasonably priced and the food was fresh and tasted great. The rainbow roll is filling and really hit the spot. Lunch bento boxes are really well portioned and tasty! read more

Always a delight at Yasubay's. Friendly atmosphere and great food. Service was excellent as well.

Mediocre. Went with my husband and my daughter and all 3 of us were disappointed. It wasn't the worst we've ever had but it is over-priced for an under-whelming dining experience. Dining area needs updating, the tables are wobbly with uncomfortable chairs, there's no air conditioning (it was hot and muggy). Server seemed like she was either counting down the days to a vacation or it was the 1 year anniversary of someone's passing. Sushi was SUPER mediocre and even though there weren't any baked/warm rolls ordered, everything arrived at separate times with a VERY long delay in between. 3 seems too high and 2 too low. Wanted to leave 2 1/2 stars but it doesn't allow 1/2 star ratings. read more

Food was . Amazing service. It was one of the first time both my little kids ate everything off their plate.

Whelp guess what! They finally remodeled. And it's great! My previous review is very true. Food is great, staff is amazing. This is by far my favorite sushi place in Oxnard/Ventura area. True family owned business. I will always support them and their Great staff! I highly recommend coming here. read more

Picked up some food last night and I was so disappointed with not just the quality but the outrageous prices, I see why they are not on the menu because it's almost DOUBLED since I've last been there ... it was very upsetting bc I could have gone to pho Saigon and got 3 delicious plates for less but you live & learn so oh well never again ! I got a udon and fried rice, or should I say a PEA SOUP RICE :( not to mention the meat was not even edible it was soo chewy read more

Yasubay's - Japanese Near Me - Oxnard, California

Good food and nice little restaurant. Staff is usually friendly and helpful, and the service is fast.

If you want cheap food that tastes good this is the place for you. I also get the dinner combo. That's always a solid choice. And the sushi rolls are good for what you're paying for. The real bang for your buck. If you do eat inside I would avoid the "water" they give you. It tasted disgusting, like they didn't fully rinse the cup they gave me. Staff is slow but friendly. I'd recommend the soft shell crab, gyoza, firecracker roll, rose roll, and teriyaki chicken bento box. read more

Atmosphere was very large with TV's playing sports and a bathroom, bit it was quite warm inside and service initially and throughout was pretty slow. Great deal on the bento box the tempura and salad was excellent but sushi was very average. read more

We were trying to find sushi close to Heritage Square and found this place. Very pleasantly surprised by the prices, as it was probably about 30% less than we are used to paying. The bento my wife got was surprisingly large portion for the $9, the salmon was a proper 4-5oz filet. I ordered a couple of rolls, the Sensual Pleasure roll and the Jalapeno Crunchy roll. All of the food came out pretty quickly. The crunchy roll had a lot more crunch on it than I had anticipated, but otherwise was pretty good. The Sensual Pleasure roll was great, spicy scallops and spicy tuna together made my day. I'll have to ask our local places to make me something similar. Overall a pretty solid place at a great price. Service is a bit slow, but very friendly. read more

The food is always delicious, I noticed they add a dollar more on almost everything but it is worth it.

I came to Yasubay's with my homegirl Liz for lunch and since Sumo in Ventura is a bit of a drive, I decide we come here for sushi :) We ordered the Oxnard roll, Rainbow roll and a simple California roll. Our meal came with their salad (love their tangy dressing) and miso soup. Rolls are reasonably priced ranging from $5-$10 each. The variety of fish on the Rainbow roll surprisingly didn't taste very fresh and the seaweed in the California roll tasted stiff to bite through. Oxnard roll was delicious because it had the crunch on the outside lol Service was somewhat slow since it seemed like only 3 employees running the restaurant and they were inside the kitchen or at the sushi bar/front counter where it's difficult to catch their attention. I'd say my luncheon was OK but in the past, I've tried their lunch bento box for $7.95, which is such tasty and filling meal, as well as their chicken udon for $5.50, which was still steaming hot when I brought it home. These were the good items of Yasubay's and maybe I should just keep ordering the usual items to go :) read more

Love the food. Always good. My mother and son and I go often. The hostess is so sweet and kind. Will continue to go there multiple times a month. read more

Really great amazing food definitely my favorite sushi in Oxnard. It's affordable, and it's family owned. They take care of you as soon as you walk in. read more

ThI service was extremely terrible. We didn't get checked on on offered refills on water. It wasn't busy in there. In addition the server was rude. She threw away my plate without asking me if I wanted my food to go. There was still enough for another meal. It's just common courtesy to ask if I was done. I guess also partly my fault for being in conversation with my friend. The food was good on what I got to eat which was just some of the chicken teriyaki. I'm pretty disappointed because that was money down the drain. The restaurant was clean and I wasn't really welcomed until 10 mins later. This is just unprofessional behavior. Would I recommend, yes and no it's good food but the service was terrible. read more

Always delicious food. Reasonable prices and good service. Welcomed every time we walk in and thanked when leaving.

Love the orange chicken and the miso soup also great customer service the shrimp fried rice is okay not the be set

The best place to eat Japanese food in the area!!!! We also had Mango & Avocado Salad and it was so fresh and delicious. Everybody was very nice and professional. I would definitely go back again to try other food! read more

What can I say; food was good, the restaurant was clean, and the price was cheap. Compare the price to flavor and this place definitely blows the others away. I got the spicy pork, fire cracker roll and chicken and beef teriyaki. Everything was delicious, besides the chicken and beef, it was just grilled chicken and beef tossed in teriyaki sauce. This place is definitely worth a try for anyone looking for cheap and good food. read more

A pleasant surprise after our Camarillo outlet shopping. Didn't go with high expectations but the freshness of the sushi surprised everyone. The spicy ramen was a perfect combo with the sushi and the rolls. Kids loved the bento box. This place is a hidden gem within 10 min of the outlet. Will definitely be back. read more

So delicious! I heard that this restaurant was remodeled and under new management, it was really clean and staffs were nice! Also, the price was really cheap and the flavor is way too good for the price. We ordered Baked roll, Firecracker roll, Spider roll, shrimp tempura, sushi plate, and veggie tempura. Tempuras were really good! And rolls were amazing! I can't even decide which rolls were my favorite because they were all so tasty! I really wouldn't read the old reviews here, everything was great when I visited recently :) I will definitely come again! Highly recommend this place! read more

My co-workers and I enjoy coming here for a inexpensive and fast lunch, for under $10. The owners are extremely focused while, preparing our food. They know each person by name if you give them the opportunity. Our food is always fast and delicious for the price. It doesn't seem busy, but its a steady flow of customers. Parking can be a little tight or no parking, so you can park on the side road. read more

Do not go here. The attitude that I got at the end of the night made me decide I would never come back to this place again My friend found this online so we wanted to try it out. It's in a tiny strip mall on Saviers in Oxnard. They only had 2 or 3 people working from what I could see. Could hear the clanking in the kitchen area. Not attentive enough. Ordered Gyoza, but it was too spicy. Requested no pepper and they gave us red pepper flakes and spicy sauce. Tempura was delish. Not enough flavor in ramen soup. Very bland. Needed to add salt. Little chicken. Price is nice, but the service isn't worth it!!! Got 1 star for the best Tempura, not for the service. Waiting for bill, is taking some time. Dishes seem to take presidence over us. And to go orders seem to be handled first. ;-( Do not go here despite the fact that them there's some poor it is delicious the attitude of the owner is Unforgivable. The woman at the front snapped at me and told me that I should have come up to the front to pay for my bill that they do not come to you to give you the bill. I said you should have informed us that since we told you we had never been here before you should have told us what the standards and the rules were. She said I checked on you and I said yes 20 minutes ago you had not checked back with us since then she said I looked at you and you seemed fine you didn't look like you needed any help. Do not go here read more

Best authentic Japanese restaurant in town! Food is always great! Service is always great! Nice sit down place as well. Just wish they prepared onigiri and katsu chicken. read more

I can't get over how yummy the coconut shrimp was!!!! It was sweet, but not tooth achingly sweet. I think the next time, I'll ask them to cook it a little longer so it'll be crispier (I like crispy!) Seriously though, I'm in love with the coconut shrimp. So in love that I ate the shrimp tails! The manager of the place (I think she's the manager) was really friendly. She remembered my friends' names & orders & the fact that he didn't like veggies. Small chit chat here and there, which I enjoy. I'm glad I finally ate here. Great service, decent prices, yummy food. read more

Yasubay's - Coconut shrimp!!! Soooo yummy, you'll eat the tails! Cuz I did :) - Japanese Near Me - Oxnard, California

Good food sweet service good people will be back again everything is good here u will not regret

I've been coming to this spot intermittently for years and I'm happy to say that the quality is still there! My absolute favorite thing to order there is their bento box combo because it's so delicious and such a great value. You get an entree, a California roll, rice, miso soup, a salad, and a small mixed tempura shrimp and veggies platter, all for 8.95! My boyfriend ordered their curry and said it was super good as well. Small businesses need us now more than ever, so if you're able, please order take out and support them! read more

A good small japanese restaurant . Food was good and the owner was so pleasant amd very hospitable. Cery reasonable price. It was our first time and if you want sashimi, you have to order 24 hours in advance, that is why we didnt get any. But other than that. We enjoyed it. Thank you read more

I've been going here occasionally for the last 10 years or so the reason I keep coming back is simple- great food at an affordable price! The food always tastes great and the service is relatively quick. On rare occasions it can be a little busy so it may take a little longer for you to get your food. If your a "top tier" sushi fan, this place is probably not for you because you won't find the fancy dishes with colorful garnishes and crap. But, if you simply love sushi and can appreciate good sushi and a simple menu, this place is for you My favorite is the sushi bento or any of the other bentos for that matter. For about $8, you're looking at a meal complete with meat, mixed tempura, miso soup, rice, salad, AND a CA roll! Not a bad deal if you ask me They've got something for everyone. For example, my fiancé isn't a sushi eater yet she loves their veggie yakisoba. Give Yasibay's a try... You won't be disappointed. read more

Great sushi at great prices ! It's a hidden gem in Oxnard. I've never been to a place where tuna sushi (6 pieces) and a crunch roll is only 15 dollars !!!! Is you're scared or have doubts just try it! It's so worth it! read more

This place is amazing and always is super friendly to my family. The food is authentic Japanese food and you can taste it! I could eat this everyday highly recommend the bentos(katsu) read more

First off, I'd like to say that I had high hopes for this place but me giving this place two stars is me being NICE. When my husband and I entered the establishment, it was blazing hot compared to the actual weather outside. While we were greeted at the door and were handed menus, it took over 20 minutes for the waitress to come and take our orders. Then it took her an additional fifteen minutes to give us water. While I'm an understanding person, there was literally only my husband and myself, and another group of three people in the whole entire restaurant. So I find it hard to believe it takes over 35 minutes to take an order and serve drinks with that many people and a full staffed kitchen. Our appetizer was served cold, when it was a dynamite entree. It was lacking in so many ways, that I guess they had no choice but to saturate it entirely in mayonnaise to make up for its inadequate flavor. Our waitress, while I get people have bad days... her attitude really grated on my nerves and how she served food was more as if she HATED being there. I had ordered a spicy tuna bowl, which had very little spicy tuna and no taste of spicy at all. I think the redeeming factor was the soup and my husband's lunch box. Overall, I'm pretty salty over this establishment because I felt as if the servers and the chefs just didn't really care to even be present or want to cook. You could sense how everyone was just either irritated and rather be half assed here. Never again. read more

Highly recommend!!! Excellent service and good food . The workers are very nice and greet you once you enter the door .

If you are ever in South Oxnard and you are trying to get to the North side via Saviers road, there is no reason to miss this restaurant. For the most part you will be at 5 point traffic for a good 20 minutes. Yasubay is about a block away from this intersection. I always noticed the restaurant while i was on the road and always thought about grabbing something to eat. I went with my brother to get some sushi. The restaurant, when we went was not packed but it was active. Even though it looks a little sketchy from the front, the inside is really comfortable, the decoration is very minimalistic, there is a soft field to the walls, and one or two paintings that blend to the restaurant. It is that and then the wooden tables. the decorations work for the restaurant. Ok the food I ordered a spider roll, and a dragon roll, my brother ordered a Yasubay roll and I've had a sunset roll before. Each roll comes with a free salad and a free miso soup. That's a huge plus because I hate it when sushi bars do not give it for free or you have to order it. The soup was good, however I was disappointed because it did not have tofu in it. But other than that it tasted good, being it was a cold afternoon. The spider roll and the dragon roll were really good, I'm a fan of soft shelve crab and eel, so I was really happy. The spider roll especially, it had that good crunch that I love to feel in my sushi roll. The dragon roll as well full of flavor, the eel was good the the sushi was good. The Yasubay and sunset roll were more disappointing, they did not have as much flavor as the other ones, but still they were good. There's a wide variety of sushi that you can choose, so I guess they have options if you like the more bland taste or the more flavorful taste. Anyways I will give it 4 stars because I actually see myself coming here over and over when ever I'm craving some sushi that it's near by. I can't say it's the best sushi because I can deff. say that I've had better. But again I totally see myself coming here. Let me say something about this small shopping center though. This is probably the most eclectic strip mall per square foot in all of Ventura County. The tiny strip mall shows the diversity that SoCal is all about. There are about ten small stores, and here you find Yasubay a Japanese restaurant, a Vietnamese noodle shop, a Mexican restaurant, and a Bakery. A hidden Gem in Oxnard for a fact. People have this image of Oxnard, but once you lift the layer and see what Oxnd is about, you discover gems like this one. Strip malls like these are more often seen in Urban centers like Los Angeles or SF, but in Ventura and Santa Barbara County, I must say that I love the south west corner of Saviers and Wolff Street! read more

Yasubay's - Japanese Near Me - Oxnard, California

Sometimes when it comes to sushi, I don't want to spend over a $100 for my husband and I. But I also don't want to buy the sushi that comes prepackaged at the grocery store either. That's why we come to Yasubay's. Very inexpensive, very fresh, and very good. Here's the lowdown... Service: Great service. Alex that runs the front of house is very joy full and accommodating. She's fun to talk to, that's why we always sit at the bar. Food: All the roles here I've had were good, and the price made them even better. Most rolls are between $6-$10. My favorite is the spicy albacore roll. Their spicy ramen, is really spicy in that so fresh way. They use fresh jalapenos in it, and I believe it's in the broth too. It was great. The best ramen I've had. The japanese curry is great as well. Tastes just like homemade. I've lived in Oxnard my whole life, and drove by this place countless times, I'm glad that my husband and I finally decided to try Yasubay's. It's a true gem, especially for South Oxnard. It's great to have affordable sushi, that is not only fresh, but really good. read more
