Sun Sushi

The only restaurant open on Christmas Day—truly a lifesaver for travelers. The food was fresh and delicious, the service was attentive, and the atmosphere was quiet and comfortable. Highly recommended!

Sun Sushi in Santa Barbara has great friendly service and some tasty dishes. I really like the Aji, Saba,Toro, Yellow Tail, Kurodai, and seared Halibut fin. The uni shooter with quail egg was flavorful and a nice starter to a delicious lunch. Always follow the chefs advice, and you won't go wrong. I'm looking forward to next time!

I decided to give Sun Sushi another try and ordered takeout. I ordered two miso soups, with a side of rice, cucumber salad, three different rolls, and a cheesecake. The miso soup was very lacking in flavor and the tofu was too firm for my liking. The cheesecake was dry- I originally asked if they had mango, to which the employee at the door said yes, but then returned saying they did not, after I had already been charged. I opted for the green tea cheesecake, and it was interesting, but very dry and crumbly. The cucumber salad is expensive for what it is ($7 for half a cucumber cut in slices). The sushi was really good. If I were to go again, I would only order sushi and skip out on everything else. Total cost was $70.19.

Excellent meal. Very high quality sushi. Thankful we made a reservation- very crowded even on a Tuesday night which says a lot for its popularity! We ended up sitting at the bar which we like to do. Would recommend the spicy crunchy Tuna app. All of their rolls seem very tasty- we had a hard time choosing. We ended up with State Street, Red Dragon, spicy scallop (a little too much mayo, but still delicious), and salmon 6 step.

Great food! Their California rolls are the best I've had. The miso soup is flavorful and the teriyaki beef was cooked to perfection. You can't go wrong here. It's a tight fit and you'll be eating with a lot of people, because the best places are always like that.
