Neat little place that was hopping on a weekday lunch. Service was good and the staff were friendly. The food was good yet for my taste I wanted the sushi rice to be cooked a bit longer so that it was more tender. A good lunch spot in Calistoga. read more

The ambience is cozy, everything clean and comfortable. The staff were all lovely, but the owner, Jose Cazares, made the experience really special. We requested a custom roll and he created the masterpiece photographed here. Custom Ceviche Inspired Roll. Inside: salmon, avocado, Serrano pepper. Outside: Wakame, avocado, red onion, green onion, tobiko, shrimp, cilantro, Hamachi. Priced well within reason and made with good quality, fresh ingredients. Highly recommend this place for ingenuity, friendliness, and quality food. read more

Sushi Mambo - Sushi rolls - Japanese Near Me - Calistoga, California

I have frequented this dive spot for several years after moving to Calistoga, I've gone in so often they already know my face by my order. I will never spend a penny here ever again. The food is subpar for what you pay for, Santa Rosa has far superior Sushi at the same price without the possibility of food positing. My spouse got violently ill here after I picked him up some Tempura which was under fried and some Miso since we've had issues with quality control with their rolls in the past. My spouse proceeded to inform the owner via a phone call after a nasty response to a review, and was met with nasty hostility and lack of accountability. The owner had the audacity to blow up my spouses phone and leave a completely bipolar, off the wall voicemail saying she wants to talk in a lesser tone and offered her personal cellphone number. I am also in the process of having my transaction dedicated my by debit card provider. read more

The pool at Indian Springs had too tight of grip on our party, that we decided to pick up some sushi and enjoy poolside. (basically across the street) Everyone ordered the Nigiri Special, which was just the right amount of food. All the fish seemed really fresh and tasty, which is why there was a full house that night when we picked up. Staff seemed really nice, especially the owner who didn't mind the drunken banter. Thanks everyone, see y'all soon! read more

Delicious sushi, high quality and charming dining space. Large selection of rolls, highly recommended tempura or house-made gyoza to start the meal! read more

My daughter and I were in Calistoga making a delivery to a local winery. It was almost 5 pm and our drive back to Salinas was going to be horrific so we decided on an early dinner to allow traffic to die down. Looked up nearby restaurants and ended up here. We didn't have a reservation but were immediately sat at the bar where we got to see how the rolls were prepped. We went with our server's suggestions and we were not disappointed. They have outdoor seating which I'd recommend in the summer. The inside was very warm. It fills up quick so I do recommend you make a reservation read more

This is an *update* since the owner Renee will report and have any negative reviews on yelp deleted which is typical fascism 101. She had my spouses review removed & the other person who also got sick that I wasn't affiliated with Jacob so I'm reposting this review. I can't believe it's come to this, I called this place Sushi TRASHO because of their lack of quality with food. I'm a local and was visiting my country house in Calistoga for the weekend and got Miso & Shrimp Tempura to go. The tempura wasn't properly fried, it was under fried so I threw it into the oven. Shortly after eating it OMG my stomach was doing the CONGA. I have had the worst bout of food poisoning since I was in Mexico. I literally had nothing to eat 36 hours before I ate this so it's definitely not any other food I've eaten. I've had horrible vomiting, fluids coming from all orifices for the last 40 hours. I've had bouts of sweating, horrible stomach cramps & I've literally purged everything within my body, I thought an intestine was going to pop out. I've ordered several items from here for years with missing ingredients or poorly presented rolls. When I order a Supercali which comes with avocado, they replace it with cucumber without telling me which I hate. I've gotten a high roller a few times with no tuna and only salmon on top. The Maine lobster made me a little ill a few years ago because the "lobster" was very fishy. The amount of times I've had to come back because my roll is incomplete or they subsisted an item they had on the menu for cheap cucumber is infuriating. What's even more ALARMING is that somebody else got sick a few days ago and made a complaint and the business owner shrugged it off stating that it can't be true? WTF?! I'm sick as a dog laying in bed praying that I don't have another bout of nausea. My Mother owned a very successful Asian restaurant in Santa Rosa for years & you NEVER respond to customers in the nasty tone you did on Yelp. Absolutely unprofessional and seriously lacking couth. I will NOT be returning here with my spouse and have filed a complaint with the Department of Health & the BBB. The owner tried to slander me by saying I was affiliated with another customer who also got food poisoning. Renee the owner harassed me non stop for hours, absolutely unprofessional. I had to *repost* this review because the owner Renee is a fascist who only wants positive reviews, thus the recent fake 5 star reviews I have reported to yelp for platform alterations which breaks Yelps TOS. I will laugh when this business goes under. Good riddance! read more

The food was very good. I got edamame, tempura, a few rolls and chicken karage. I was not happy with the service. I placed my order at 5:30 and was told it would be ready at 6:10 pm. I was surprised at the 40 minute time, but that was fine. I actually arrived late, at 6:15 pm. I checked in and was told that it would be 5 minutes later. No apology whatsoever! No explanation. I do understand that things happen, but when a restaurant is telling you that your food will be 10 minutes later than they promised, I at least expect that they will express -- I don't know -- something? Nope! And then, it ultimately was 20 minutes late. Got the food at 6:30 pm, just handed to me in a bag. They need to work on their service. If I had known that it would have been 1 hour from the time I placed the order, I would have ordered food from somewhere else. Lots of options in Calistoga. read more

I ate there last night. Food was good. However I woke up with terrible food poisoning. I have been before multiple times. Never had this experience before. Pls take my sickness seriously. I notified the business and the owner quickly responded, and offered me a refund. I appreciate the care. Most importantly I hope to create this alert for future prevention. read more

Very popular around here but unfortunatelly only because there is nothing else. Service was, let's say, marginal. Long wait, and the food was *** at best. May-be this is my New Yorker's expectations but for the wait and dollars spend I certainly expected more. read more

Everytime I come to Napa, I inevitably end up at the only sushi spot in Calistoga. This is probably because I'm traveling with my family, and they're all sushi fiends. This restaurant is a small little bungalow with about 8 tables plus a sushi bar. They have a large variety of rolls, plus nigiri and bento boxes. For being in Calistoga and not near water, it's always a pleasant surprise to taste how fresh the fish is. In terms of recommendations, I'd say just order what you like. The only item I'd avoid is the agedashi tofu, which is really just a bunch of fried tofu piled into a bowl. You can park along the street pretty easily. Given it's a small restaurant, service can sometimes be a little slow but it's relatively easy to get a hold of the server. read more

Unbelievable to find a Great Sushi Restaurant in the middle of little Calistoga. It's a charming little piece of heaven. On a nice day I strongly recommend sitting on the outside deck. Fish is fresh and wonderful read more

While visiting Calistoga, we walked along the town and stumbled across this place. We were craving sushi and decided to give this place a try. A tip: make a reservation! This place is small and it's POPPIN! Very busy, and we weee lucky enough to get seated without a reservation but overheard wait times up to 45 minutes! (This was on a Sunday night at around 6:30 pm) Upon arrival we came inside and stood right by cashier corner and what I assumed was a check in stand. We waited...and waited....and waited as server after server walked right past us. One was fulfilling orders, one going outside to deliver food, one going back to grab food...yet no acknowledgement to us or even eye contact for us to feel like we were even..there? Honestly, I was a little turned off but tried to be sympathetic because I know that workers are hard to come by nowadays and they were very busy. However, even a simple "we'll be right with you" would've been nice just to feel..."seen". Once we were seated it did take awhile to get our orders taken and to actually receive our food, but again..I totally understand because short staff, all good. My husband and I ordered the dynamite for appetizer. It was a scallop and mushroom dish baked in their dynamite sauce. It was amazing! The scallops were perfectly cooked and the mushrooms gave it the perfect touch. The sauce had the perfect kick and it was very very good. I ordered the lobster roll, my husband ordered a hamachi roll, and we ordered the great balls of fire which is two deep fried rice balls filled with tuna, salmon, and hamachi. My husband also ordered the sashimi platter as well. All the rolls were okay, fish was fresh. Sashimi was good but a little on the thick side on the cuts. Our waiter was very nice and we enjoyed our time. read more

The only sushi in Calistoga, but it is not a good one!! Maybe we r spoiled living in the city but for us it will be last time at sushi mambo Ambience and service are ok, but the quality of the fish is not read more

Did the mud bath earlier that day and decided for some Japanese food before heading back home (2.5 hr drive). For the only sushi place open in Calistoga on a Sunday (noon it opens). The food wasn't bad at all. The menu can be overwhelming since there's a lot of sushi rolls to peruse. My wife stuck with the bento box chicken teriyaki and I went with hamachi , an order of unagi, We also got the spicy edamame which was ok... had a lemony taste to it and a bit messy to eat. We ended with green tea cheese cake and deep fried tempura ice cream. Bill came out to $85 not including tip. Would I go back? Sure if I'm craving for sushi read more

Delicious sushi, excellent service and a very welcoming setting at Sushi Mambo. After a day of wine tasting nearby, we wanted to enjoy a quality meal and sushi mambo really hit the spot. Our server, Maki, made us feel very welcome. We were quite impressed with the high quality of the sushi dishes we ordered. The salad that we had was one of the best I've tasted anywhere in months. Great place, very reasonably priced for the high quality food and top notch service make Sushi Mambo an excellent place to visit if you are in the area. read more

Nothing wrong with this sushi, unless you are annoyed by huge menus. These guys serve it all!, yet somehow did a good job on everything we ordered. I'm not a fan of complex silly rolls but really liked the "4 get a Halibut". They are still on a Skelton crew but are super friendly and hustling. read more

Came here to visit the area for the weekend getaway and we came here for dinner on the 02/24/2019 around 7 pm! there was no wait time. my girlfriend and I were seated quickly! Took our orders for drinks and appetizer. We ordered for appetizer kitchen chips and tuna ceviche and it was really really good! We ordered 3 rolls also hottie, just 4 the halibut and high roller! All three rolls were very good and very fresh! The appetizer we got cost 12.50 Special rolls prices are 14.50 to the lowest 10.50 read more

Ate here during a trip to Calistoga. We did not have high expectations, but were still disappointed.. The good: We were able to call same day and get a reservation relatively easy. Prices are very fair for the area. Definitely in-line with sushi I've had elsewhere. We ordered tempura which was okay. Not very flavorful or particularly tasty. The portion was also pretty small. My partner ordered the bento box dinner special and enjoyed most of it. I tried the salad and the dressing was tasty. The bad: Although the prices were fair, the quality of fish was not good. I ordered the shrimpgazm and could not eat it. The tuna in the roll was definitely not fresh because it was brown in color. Definitely not the red tuna the owner is alluding to in her response to this review. Regardless if it was cooked or not, it was disgusting. Because of the quality I decided not to order any additional rolls because I was concerned about getting sick. My partner mentioned the California roll was not good either, and he didn't eat it. The service was also not the best, but it also wasn't the worst. Overall, I would caution anyone visiting this restaurant about ordering sushi rolls. I rarely give negative reviews, but this place is not good. However, their menu is very extensive and it seems as if other options may be better. I could have just ordered the wrong thing, but I won't be back. read more

We had takeout from here and were nicely impressed. Serving sizes were generous and the quality of fish was great for being so inland. I wish I remembered everything we ordered but it was many standards (rock'n'roll, salmon nigiri, avocado rolls, tempura, spinach salad) and they were all fantastic. We'd definitely go again. Sad thing about Japanese food during COVID is we always end up with the MOST single-use plastic of any takeout food. It always feels yucky to have a nice meal and big stack of plastic afterwards. read more

I noticed how as of right now, my top categories said Italian is in my top five with Breakfast & Brunch and Seafood. Italian is the last out of the five. Italian is tied with Japanese and Pizza. Anybody that knows me, knows I like Italian, Japanese, Pizza, Korean, Laotian, and Halal more than Chinese. I like how Cantonese, is differentiated from Chinese. I want Japanese to overtake the Chinese now. To be honest, I wanted to be back in San Jose for something today. But I guess, I'm going to be staying in Napa slightly longer. Until I go to the next city, and be back in Napa again. I'm going to be in this part of the city once and only once out of this year. I've been here a few times ten years ago, but I think I like spending more time in like Oakville, Rutherford, and Yountville. This is next to a resort. It looks posh and cozy. I'm here for one thing, and one thing only. That's the Beef Yosenabe Stew. I like how it's in an earthware. I've had a lot of Stews. This one is in a clear broth. Is it really a Stew? It arrived scorching hot. The broth had a depth of flavor. It reminds me of a Caldo de Res Soup. The veggies were so fresh. I was surprised it had cellophane noodles in it. The ponzu dipping sauce was a great addition. I give this 4.2 stars. read more

I highly recommend you get your sushi fix elsewhere. Some of the saddest sushi I've ever had. Ordered Lunch C which includes a miso soup, rock and roll, and California roll. Both rolls were cut terribly unevenly -- some pieces were double the size of others. I think the chef closed his eyes when adding the unagi sauce because some pieces were drowning in it while others (basically 4 out of 6) had none. The imitation crab part of the California roll was dry. Miso soup and avocado quality was decent enough to bump the review up to 2 stars. My partner ordered saba nigiri and a roll. Similar disappointment. It's worth noting that when we were seated, we were the second couple in the restaurant and the first table had already been served. There was no sort of rush or excuse for what we received. The server was prompt and friendly. The place has a dark, swanky ambience with music to match. Would be a nice spot for a dinner date. I'll be blunt, if you've only ever had sushi in small white towns, then you may be happy with it. If you've ever been to San Francisco, any other major city, or a traditional mom and pop Japanese place which serves real sushi, you'll also be scratching your head wondering how this place currently has 4 stars. Seriously, I'm embarrassed by what I received. Guess it's easy to get away with when you're the only sushi spot in town. read more

Great sushi place though it can get busy so plan accordingly. I was able to nab a table outside around 5pm on a Saturday but I called ahead. Tried the edamame and three rolls-shrimpgasm, salmon skin and grilled salmon. Everything was delicious and service was kind. Fair price point given the area and quality. Would definitely recommend! read more

Service was definitely slow, but there were 3 other tables at the same time as my party sat.. very friendly staff though. Food has a lot of potential and I was excited to try it given the sushi roll names, but it fell a little short. I ordered amaebi nigiri, a love boat (fancier upside down shrimp), a hamachi fried roll and what I thought was a salmon skin hand-roll. I was kind of bummed as the amaebi was not cold- more like room temp- as well as bitter and the fried heads were also more room temp/colder. I think my biggest gripe was that I ordered a salmon skin hand-roll and received a maki long roll. I brought it up immediately and refused the roll; however... I received the same chopped up salmon skin/rice just rewrapped into a hand-roll... I definitely would've asked for the actual hand-roll to be remade correctly but we were already late to our appointment due to the kitchen being bum rushed. Definitely plan for a long meal here so you can actually enjoy your food. Parking - lots of free street parking in Calistoga, but be mindful when you cross the streets as there weren't crosswalks really. read more
