In sashimi, the yellow tail and salmon taste very good, and the fat is very rich. But the tuna is a bit sour so it's not ideal. And sashimi costs about $14 a serving, yet there are only two pieces per fish. The ramen was even weirder. I ordered the pork-flavored version, but the soup base was made with fish and lots of seaweed. So the only thing that has anything to do with pork in this bowl of noodles are the two pig shoulder on top. read more

My husband and I take the Amtrak to Santa Barbara about twice a year. We love to visit our favorite places, but also like to try a new place each time. Where we live, sushi places are everywhere and many are good, but none have my favorite dish...sukiyaki. I just had the beef sukiyaki here and it was delicious! The beef was so tender and I have enough leftovers for at least two more meals. Plus, my dinner included miso soup, cucumber salad and mochi ice cream. This place is small and unassuming, but the staff were so attentive and kind. read more

Late night sushi craving? Hit up Edomsa and you'll be satisfied with the rolls, the service and my favorite part tempura ice cream! It's fast and efficient to grab sushi the place is kinda small but like I said it goes by fast because there's a bar and a lot of mini tables that people are courteous to come in and out. Mg favorite sushi roll was actually discovered here it's called the flower roll and I always make sure to get one along side my dessert of green tea tempura ice cream or even better try the red bean no regrets it's a dull different taste if you like flavors that aren't fruity and dull like authentic matcha you'll like this red bean. The servers are always laid back and welcoming so don't be shy give them a try read more

The best! I love the people too! Yuko is a true angel. I have been coming here for over 4 years. This food is seriously divine. I swear it gets better every time. Love you Edomasa! Yellowtail Sashimi, Salmon Sashimi, all thé spécial rolls, edamame, miso, seaweed salad... Mochi! Honestly and it is open late in Santa Barbara when no one is open. What a gift. Do yourself a favor and try this place. People complaining just sound like they aren't very nice people. If I ever have an issue I ask about it and they take care of me. Treat people the way you want to be treated. Covid-19 is already very difficult for everyone... so try to have kindness for those risking their health to make you sushi. I have had sushi all over the world and this is truly one of my very favorite places to eat. Thank you Edamosa- read more

Good sushi at reasonable prices, with great customer service, what is there not to like? I've been coming here since I moved to SB back in the day and have continued to do so ever since. They are my "go to" when undecided on sushi houses in SB, and definitely a great late night spot for food in general. I've ordered a lot off the menu, and can tell you there hasn't been a dish that I didnt like. From ramen, to teriyaki chicken, to sushi and sashimi, you name it, I've had it, and it was gooood here. I came by last night with my SO, and ordered the sashimi assortment plate and an extra sashimi plate of salmon. The sashimi assortment had fresh cuts of octopus, salmon, yellowtail, ahi, scallops and daikon The sashimi tasted fresh and was worth the price we paid. Top it all off with great customer service, plus they take axxess SB card (10% off) Are there other sushi houses in town that have great sushi? Sure, but this place is consistent, priced right and straight up delicious. Most locals come here for a reason, and so should you! read more

Good place for a party. Most of the food is decent. The uni we got here was very disappointing.

The cutlet was Crispy and the curry was spicy yummyy. The portion was very big. So Good

I meant to add this review a week ago so I apologize for the lateness! This was one of the few sushi places that I found to be open late on a weekday and that was a major plus! I went ahead and ordered 20 of the Edomasa rolls, which usually will get me pretty full if I'm hungry. These rolls are BIG. Five rolls actually filled me up and I had leftovers! Sushi was really good and the pick-up was fast and on time! I find many sushi places in Santa Barbara give really small portions, which does give you the freedom to try more rolls at once, but when you have a favorite, I like to have big portions. I can't wait to have sushi night again read more

I tried calling several times with no luck. So I thought I would ask here. How are you going to charge me a take out few while we are still under stay at home orders and can't dine out? On top of that then charge me sales tax on said take out fee. I will never be dining at your restaurant again. Everyone please check your receipts. read more

Edomasa - Grilled Broiled Fish Mackerel - Japanese Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

This place was a pretty average place to get sushi. The food here wasn't outstanding, it was just so-so. But it's a good place for you if you're craving sushi pretty late at night. The salad was pretty tasty--I liked the dressing on it (not sure what it was though). I had the Ladies' Set (I kinda take issue with the name but oh well), which includes 3 choices of handrolls. They were good, but not the best I'd ever had. All the sushi combinations come with mochi as dessert, which they forgot to give us until we reminded them. But that isn't a big deal. Overall, this is your average sushi restaurant, and a place to visit should you find yourself having late night sushi cravings. read more

My buddy suggested coming here for dinner. The last time I came here was several years ago when I was studying for my Masters @ UCSB. The host asked us twice how many people we had in our party...maybe low IQ? Asparagus Beef - My buddy highly recommended it and it was super tasty! - Asparagus was super young and tasty! :D - Beef was perfectly cooked w/ a nice teriyaki sauce My buddy and I ordered a bunch of rolls: Eel & Cucumber, Spicy Tuna, Hip Hop, and Spider. They all came out pretty good, although my buddy noted that he was unable to locate the salmon that was supposed to be included inside the Hip Hop roll... One interesting point that I noticed was that the seaweed was wrapped outside, as opposed to rice being on the outside at most NorCal sushi joints. My soup and salad were decent as well, although the salad could have used less dressing... read more

Great sushi and menu for the sushi and sashimi connoisseur. Lots of healthy scrumptious options. If you're on a special diet: vegan, primal, grain free etc. you'll find some really good options. The fried burdock and pickle dish were some of my favorites. The place is cozy and has excellent management and service. read more

Food is amazing as well as the service! ((: best iced green tea! I go there just for that on my way to work and!

Edomasa has become my go-to place for sushi rolls. They have good prices and a varied menu. I usually get Tokyo, Marina, and Hip-Hop roll and is a good amount of food for two. My husband has also tried their beef ramen and it was super tasty. Friendly staff and a perfect option for a Friday night dinner! read more

This place is the best sushi restaurant in SB. Their customer service is unparalleled. They make you feel valued as a customer, and the environment is delightfully unique. I got the dinner special which was delicious, affordable, and filling; it was incredibly worth the money. Their strawberry mochi is also delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a comforting, fresh meal. read more

Totally fantastic family-run spot. The one star reviews are all a little fishy to me. Everything was truly great and generously portioned. The salmon skin salad was the best I've ever had. The Baltimore roll was uniquely delicious. We placed a giant order despite there only being two of us. Nice sushi breakfast the next day. "Late night sushi" are three words that signify true civilization. Will be back! read more

My bf and I are take out masters. We go all out and order family style...for two. We just moved into the area and decided to splurge on some late night Japanese food. This place is open til midnight so that's convenient! We got: - Sushi Deluxe (assortment of nigiri and your choice of spicy tuna or California roll) - shrimp and veggie tempura appetizer - ginger beef entree Sushi deluxe did come with a lot of stuff. 8 nigiri pieces and a roll. Not rice heavy like some other cheaper Japanese places and included uni and unagi, my faves! Tempura was overly fried and the batter didn't taste like tempura. It tasted more like fish and chips batter. I probably wouldn't get this again. Ginger beef entree was oily and soggy and pretty much whole thing was bean sprouts. Also wouldn't eat again. But the entree came with some pickled cucumbers, miso soup, and rice. It would have came with mochi ice cream too if you eat at the restaurant. Not for take out :( Overall I think the sushi is good and would love to go back and try more of the fresh stuff! Seems like a good night neighborhood hang out spot too! read more

Plenty of protein for the price. Fish is also fresh. Very nice service, the people are friendly!

This place is pretty good! When we got there, they were pretty busy so we sat at the bar. The sushi chef who helped us out made our food super fast. We ordered the sushi and sashimi combo, tempura udon, green salad, and agedashi tofu. The sushi and sashimi combo comes with nigiri, sashimi, California or spicy tuna roll, miso soup, and mochi!!! The chef for some reason kept thinking we wanted spicy tuna roll instead of California but he eventually got it right. The California roll was really big, like each individual roll had a large radius and the avocado was like a legit entire slice of avocado. Sashimi and nigiri were also pretty good! The chef, who didn't speak Japanese, didn't know what agedashi tofu was so one of the Japanese chefs had to tell him what it was. The agedashi tofu was really good! It's one of my mom's favorite dishes and she loved it. The tempura udon was really good as well! They give you two shrimp tempura when most places give you one. The green salad was DRENCHED in dressing. So if you get it tell them less dressing. Like a lot less. The servers are all pretty nice and attentive and fast. Overall, pretty good sushi place! read more

This place currently has an average review of 3.5 stars, and based on the Nabeyaki Udon I got as takeout, I would say that is accurate. The broth was really good, but not all of the other ingredients were good. Notable items that reduced the quality of the dish: a chicken bone shard, some overly-tough lotus root and/or bamboo chunks, and a slightly unpleasant-tasting (overcooked?) egg. I will stick with Sushiya and Nikka for my future Japanese noodle soup orders. read more

Three words: Late Night Sushi. Edomasa is one of only a very few restaurants in Santa Barbara open past 10pm. Sometimes, you're just craving some sushi late at night! Look no further than this spot. The restaurant is located within the Samarkand neighborhood and is fairly close to the Las Positas freeway entrance. It's on a busy road and parking is accessible through a condominium complex directly behind on Alamar Avenue. The place is nothing fancy on the inside, but is clean and the service has always been friendly. Their sushi rolls are well-made and taste great. They make this large sushi platter that comes in a literal wooden boat, pretty cool to view its overall artistry. Their rolls are an ideal pairing with a sake or a Sapporo. Great place overall. I hope to be back soon. read more

Service was fast. Sushi was above par. Our server went to lunch during our meal and didn't inform us, or possible even the staff. We waited 15 minutes after finishing food. I never got my michi, another bus boy asked us if we need anything and it was to pay. I gave my card right away. As I was signing the receipt another lady not involved with my table swiped I. And almost ran my card again. Ekks. Watch out for the management aspect but food was good. read more

Mid. Only good thing is the spicy edamame. Spicy ramen was trash. Bulgogi was 90% bean sprouts. No flavor at all.

I've been wanting to find a sushi place where the price, quality, and service is consistent. Edomasa was my first stop in an extensive journey to find the most satisfying sushi in the area. To add the cherry on top, Edomasa is open late night, which my SO and I appreciate since we always work late. From the seating to the end, their customer service took great care of us. I never felt like I was impatiently waiting to have my order taken or waiting for the check. Even our order had come out in a short period of time after placing it. We had the tuna capriccio, salmon, and California baked roll. All very flavorful and nicely portioned. I would definitely recommend this place to others and hope to come back again to try out the other menu items. read more

Pros: affordable prices, standard quality soy sauce and ginger! Plum wine is a great choice to drown away the sorrow of this food... Cons: unapologetically dirty tea cups and dishes; uneatable Hip Hop roll which was made out of a sad blend of spicy spoiled fish-mush tuna/salmon combo and shumai with unpleasant taste of a mystery meat...we left feeling sick after eating few pieces of that meal...very unfortunate because this used to be one of my favorite sushi restaurant that I've recommended to so many people...very disappointed read more

Finally, I've found my sushi place in Santa Barbara. Now this isn't the best sushi I've had, but it's not trying to be either. It feel like a local mom/pop shop doing it right with their best. I've tried so many different sushi places in SB and they're all either way too expensive for the value or they are just bad. Edomasa hits the right medium of price and quality that it'll be my go to place now in SB. I got the deluxe sushi set with the edomasa roll for $32.50. The nigiri are actually real nigiri; the size, mold, fish, and rice are all how they're supposed to be. The fish taste clean and have their individual flavors. I was surprised at the quality of the uni given the overall price and other sushi items in the set. It was really good uni and could have easily ballooned the cost of the set. I also usually don't like imitation crab rolls, but the edomasa roll with the shrimp and sauce was very good! It's also huge to help to fill you up. I was very happy and satisfied with my meal and it seems like a nice place to drink/eat for happy hour once covid gets better. read more

This place was great. It was not a cheap meal at $50+ and it wasn't 100% authentic, but the food was definitely unique and hit the spot. Salad had plenty of fish and was very filling for $15. It was $7.50 for the 3 rolls of spicy tuna rolls with sticky rice, which was a bit steep. Service was prompt and good, no complaints. It is an older run down building and there is only one stall for each bathroom, which is hard to get in and out of since it's so narrow. Hard to wait if someone is already using the restroom when they need to wash their hands. read more

Arrived at about 10 pm for take out. Quiet, clean, and good service. Parked right out front street parking. Bf and I ordered one of the sushi combos that was about (about 14.95) for cucumber roll, California roll, & spicy tuna roll. Also ordered a lobster cut roll (about $9) and the crunchy roll ($12.95). I think the sushi was a bit overpriced for the quality. I liked the crunchy roll and that was about it. It was prepared very quickly we didn't wait more than 15 min and the restaurant wasn't very busy. Well rolled sushi didn't fall apart tightly and generously packed. I don't think I'd return as the selection was very minimal the specialty rolls were very similar and prices range (7-15) I wasn't a fan of the lobster roll it had a tart taste. But as far as being open late night this spot was very clutch. The service was great. read more
