This is one of our highlights every time we make it out to San Antonio Del Mar. Steve the owner is always so welcoming and personally comes over to say hello to us. We have lots of favorite spots for breakfast, tacos al pastor, fish tacos, lobster, and even sushi in Baja. The personalized service and delicious sushi brings us back year after year. Live entertainment was a treat and the view surely topped our evening. We always start with Edamame and tried all three this time. (our fave was the spicy) Next we love their miso soup with their dumplings that we tried for the first time. We devoured our Rainbow roll, Spicy Tuna hand rolls no rice and a couple of their Special Rolls. Pricing: For the freshness and quality Inhave to say the cost is spot on. However, when in Baja, all expect to pay less, so I can understand why so many comment on the price of their rolls. It's always a treat for us when we have dinner here and expect to pay for what we get. It's an absolute must especially when you get tired of tacos and Mexican food. Ulysses and Flor are the BEST...ask for them next time.

The first role we got was the dynamite. It was 340 pesos. Pretty expensive for sushi, but we had to give the place a shot. The dynamite role was good yet small for the price. The waiter was great and the sake was hot. The second roll was the crunchy crab, and it was pretty disappointing. The rice was clearly old. There was imitation crab inside the roll and a couple of skinny legs sticking out of one of the rolls. It was very unappetizing. I really wanted this place to be great. I'd love to have a go to sushi restaurant in Rosarito. We just love sushi. There were approximately 8 to 10 workers in the restaurant/Play bar when we arrived and we were the only two people there. Yet it took 20 minutes to receive our sake and 30 minutes to get the first roll. There was no indication why it would take this long. There is an outdoor eating area, but it was too cold on this day to be outside. We sat in front of the windows that overlooked a couple row of houses and then the ocean. You'll have to try this out for yourself, unfortunately our EXPERIENCE less than we expected. I wish you luck in your experience. And I hope the restaurant continues to improve. Maybe we'll check it out in six months or so.

This place is great for cocktails, wine and of course...sushi! Walked over from a friend's home and had a late dinner. They close at 2am?!! Love it! The wine is delicious and came from el Valle de Guadalupe. Great prices on all the drinks and menu items. Service and ambience was nice and cozy. Looks like a place where regulars hang out at. Crunchy roll, spicy tuna roll and fried rice was amazing!

The service first: the servers are friendly and do their best to accommodate a sometimes full restaurant while being seriously understaffed. The owner of the place is very arrogant and not very personable but that's just my opinion. The food: the sushi is very good. Very fresh and well made. They also have some original ideas on their menu which is good. However, the prices are really high for the area and the menu is limited. After going there on a regular basis we got bored after a while and asked the chef to be creative and give us something new not on the menu. Something we've asked other chefs plenty of times and we're not usually disappointed. This time we were. It was obvious that they simply remixed what was on the menu. Either the chef is not given creative license or he's very limited in training. Either way we have stopped going so often and now only go maybe once a quarter when we've missed their menu enough to give it another try.

Steve Spradley Mucho Mahalo for the best sushi this side of Maui. Nobu used to be my favorite sushi bar, but now it's #mataashta Emi, the bartender is the thing cutest ever and knows his stuff. Happiest girl in Baja. Staff is amazing and if ya don't go here is on you

After 4 days of tacos and lobster and meats I was ready for something more familiar, rice. I eat sushi once a week back home and figured it was time get back to normal. Unfortunately we could not walk here as the toll road is not lit, despite being just a mile away. Uber to the rescue. Not to be confused with the taco spot next door by the same name this is the building on the left. It looks expanded since the door is not exactly centered, you walk by the glass and see everything just to get to the door. Live music, a separate bar, a half outdoor patio that needed heat. The bathrooms to the left. The open kitchen works, but was definitely not it's original design or purpose. Some hand rolls (nothing crazy) since we came here mostly for some warm ramen and something with rice. The California roll was good, the spicy tuna roll was not mashed at all, basically julienned topped with sambal. The soy sauce was good. They had a good beer selection, wine, sake, spirits (sans American whiskey). The prices were good, not great, sushi is one of those products that hold regardless of the economy. The ramen was bland, I regretted my decision when I saw hard bricks of ramen in a bag. It was basically maruchan ramen, but the broth was watered down. They did top it with a proper egg, corn, sprouts. I really liked the mushrooms, but the pork was fried and ultimately got soggy/chewy/fatty. Not chashu pork in any sense. Once we tried it we ordered a few more rolls as even though the warm broth was what we were looking forward to, it wasn't worth filling up on that. The Philadelphia roll had a nice and firm salmon which I liked a lot. The sake was good as we also got something with more heat(unknown chefs choice roll). The service was meh, the server had an attitude. The band was ok, nothing amazing, the crowd was cool, lots of couples, small families, a few kids, a few small groups. It's ultimately not a place I'd come back to, but try finding anything Asian open on a Sunday, semi late.

For a sushi place you have to try the boneless buffalo wings. I am dead serious when I say they are the best boneless wings I have ever had in my life. The Ranch could use an upgrade, but the chicken itself is breaded with a sushi style Tempura which is unreal. The staff is all incredible and Steve and Juan make it feel like a second home.

When you're south of the border, you may think your options for sushi have run out. But you sir or madam are incorrect. Just moving to the area, I had a huge desire to find my local sushi bar so I can pony up and get my fix. Good thing Mata Ashta is next door. The service here is impeccable and the fish is amazing. They make quality rolls with some other options for the non sushi eaters so my wife and I find ourselves here frequently. This location is perfect, nestled right above the water with amazing views, great food and amazing staff, I hope to see Mata Ashta stay around for many years to come. If you're in the area and need a stiff drink or a delicious roll, I would hesitate no further. Come in and see what it's all about.

Fresh and delicious, cozy and scenic. The service isn't quick but it is definitely friendly. Come at sunset for amazing ocean view!

Last Friday was my 2nd visit here and the again the food didn't disappoint! The quality is consistently fresh and always tastes great. The only reason I couldn't give 5 stars is having to ask several times for the bill. Don't mind that though, we'll be back next time we're down!
