Great atmosphere. Great box rolls, even if they fall apart immediately

This is my favorite sushi place in the world, by a long shot. From Marco's smiling face to the savory cacophony of flavors, the experience is unmatched. This place is a must visit.

If you're a sushi enthusiast or simply appreciate exquisite Japanese cuisine, Sakana Sushi Bar & Japanese in Montecito, CA, is an absolute must-visit. I recently had the pleasure of dining at this hidden culinary gem, and I can confidently say that it exceeded all my expectations. The star of the show, of course, is the sushi and sashimi. Each piece is a work of art, beautifully presented on the plate. The freshness of the fish and the expert craftsmanship are evident in every bite. The variety of rolls and sashimi options cater to all tastes, from traditional choices to creative and unique combinations. Whether you're a fan of classic nigiri or prefer something more adventurous, Sakana has you covered.

Convenient sushi spot in Montecito!I’ll be honest - the quality here is sub-par. The consistency of the fish and rice makes me skeptical of how fresh the ingredients might be… and for pricing this premium, I’d expect a high standard. The nigiri was passable but even visually disappointing. While the sushi roll plates are a visual spectacle, I found them to be quite theatrical… the quality was totally disappointing and the taste clusters with these random sauces made no sense to me. Purely visual rather than prioritizing quality food. Minimal service, crammed table spacing, and a long wait time for our food sure didn’t help, but nonetheless I appreciate the convenience of this location.

This used to be my favorite sushi restaurant so this makes me really sad to write. The crab on the basil crab roll was clearly just taken out of the freezer, the salmon on our salmon nigiri had the dark skin on it and was so hard and chewy is wasn’t even edible. Our waitress, on Thursday night, was so mean to me specifically and then had an aggressive and rude attitude to the rest of my table when only 2 questions were asked about the menu. It made our whole experience so uncomfortable, I couldn’t wait to get out of there.

An not rave enough about this restaurant! They have the most delicious and creative menu of various sushi rolls. Their seafood is super fresh. We waited 20 minutes on Friday night to be seated which was not bad all things considered. The waitstaff and the hostess were super friendly and knowledgeable. We ordered some wine and sake as well. I would recommend Wagiuy appetizer, uni sashimi, miso eggplantand lobster roll. Can not wait to dine there again.

Excellent sushi. Line out the door before they open! So get there early. No reservations possible. Wagu carpaccio sounded good but was the least of all dishes. Basil flute was great. Short ribs were great.

My experience was not good. Because they made me wait more than an hour until I decided to leave better, the worst thing was that I watched as people arrived and left, while I was waiting. It is disrespectful that they have the time of others in that way
