    Last night we had an amazing meal here and found out it's under new ownership and it shows! My husband and I have visited Japan a number of times and Onigiri & Sushi has the same vibe. Fantastic and friendly service and superb fish! We'll definitely be coming back, frequently!

    The restaurant was renamed and is under new management. Food is just as delicious and service is wonderful! Will continue to frequent this establishment.

    The sushi chef is the best. The owner is the nicest lady. The tempura chicken teriyaki is very shareable for two people. The sushi rolls are affordable compared to all the other sushi places in Santa Barbara. Since they have re-opened the restaurant is a lot cleaner and very welcoming. Everyone is so nice here. I would definitely come back and try many more sushi rolls. The sushi chef here previously worked at Oku and Sun Sushi so he is very knowledgeable and nice.

Chili crunch dumplings: 5 I love my dumplings and this is up there!! This was probably our favorite item. Would've gotten 2 orders looking back. Curry noodles w/ crab: 5 Amazing flavor. Loved the noodle texture. More soupy. Crab was a nice addition, a decent portion. Not shredded or small chunks but also not the most supple crab pieces either. But was happy that we added! Service: 10/5!!! Kathleen was amazing. So so nice. We originally had a different order but we kept going back and forth on items. Kathleen was not only helpful in helping us decide but came back to our table right before they started cooking and asked if we wanted to change our order only because the curry might give more contrast to our other items. I thought that was just so incredibly kind and really showed how she was invested in our experience. This is why I really wanted to write this review! Ambiance 5/5: Open kitchen is really nice and like that they had outdoor area. Garage parking next door too that wasn't too pricy. Overalls cute decor and clean space.

Got seated pretty quickly, where there are various heaters to ensure comfort. Drinks were served pretty quickly. Ordered the Black Ramen (made with Black Garlic Oil) for 19.50, solid price. I enjoy the choices of meat that you can choose from, which I chose Pork Belly, and added an egg to mine. Didn't take too long for the food to come out, everything was really fresh and tasted well. The pork belly was a nice chunk too (I had expected it was going to be smaller). The broth was very delicious, which I killed the entire bowl. With the check, they also give mini Hi-Chews. Overall, great food, great seating, great service. Much Better ramen than some chain restaurants.

I think this place is much better with its ramen than sushi items, however. I really liked my tsukemen (dipping ramen) but the sushi items my family ordered were just ok. Tsukemen broth was excellent and better tasting than ones I had in the past. The broth had little bit of sweetness which contrasted well with its rich fish broth and tonkotsu broth. It was served with thick noodles, green onions, spinach, bean sprouts, baboon shoots and soft boiled egg. Protein options are pork shoulder, pork belly, or chicken. I went with pork belly, which seemed to be a very good option. My wife and kids ordered a chirashi bowl, poke bowl, and California roll. These tasted rather standard, and the chirashi bowl just tasted very monotone. It was missing something, although I can't pinpoint what it is. Service was good and fairly efficient. This place only has patio dining.

It was an open layout that had plenty of seating inside the restaurant. The decor was moder, but not overdone. We were greeting and pointed to a table but that was it. We realized there was a QR code on the table and we could order our food on there. It took a little while to get our food even though no one else was there. I found it really odd to not even be told to use the QR code to order or be informed of anything. Stewed beef noodles with Ramen- 9/10 My husband ordered this and I tried some. The broth was delicious. Rich and flavorful but not overbearing. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the meat was tender. The bok choy was a needed touch. My husband ate the whole bowl and wanted a second because was so good. Certified Angus Beef hot pot- 8/10 I ordered this with the tom yum broth. I didn't know it was a creamy version of the broth until it was served. I'm not mad about it but it wasn't in the description in case others are dairy sensitive. The broth was flavorful and really delicious. I will say that the beef was tough and it a typical cut that overcooked very quickly in the broth. I'm not positive it was Angus beef grade. I just now realized it was missing the lotus root but gave me zucchini instead. I was also missing my quail eggs. If I didn't read the description to know I was supposed to have them, I would've missed that too. Overall, the food was delicious but the service was 1 star for sure. We were never checked on and the waiter only appeared if we pushed the call button. If you can overlook the lack of customer service, the food is really delicious.
