Thank god for late night sushi!, 6/12/2010
Reviewer: Lisa
from Santa Barbara, CA
I've had so many 11pm cravings for sushi, and I'm just so glad that Edomasa is open. For the most part, the sushi is good but not great. Sufficient to satisfy a late-night desire. But service is usually terrible, probably because it's hard to find a waiter to work until midnight or later! My recommendation: Unagi Don. A bit overpriced, but if you love unagi, you'll be in heaven.

So good, I am now a new sushi lover., 5/12/2010
Reviewer: Diana
from Carpinteria, CA
At Edomasa, there were four sushi chefs when we came in. We sat down at the counter in front of one of them, and I told him that I am a vegan, and he proceeded to whip me up all kinds of specialties. Each one was more delicious than the one before. I especially liked the one with tempura. We felt like we had our own private chef. I had a friend visiting from out of town and I really just went for the sushi to make her happy, but now Edomasa is among my few favorite Santa Barbara restaurants. I am sold!

After three visits, Edomasa has become my favorite place for sushi in Santa Barbara. The restaurant is clean. The service is friendly and efficient. The fish is always fresh-tasting and nicely presented.

Pretty Good Food, Nice People, 2/23/2010
Reviewer: Glenn
from Buellton
Dinner Special was good(6-8pm). Dinner only and open very late. Ambiance Ok. I think just limited parking on the street? Some off Alamar in the back possibly. Food was pretty good, I only had a bad experience with their salad dressing(or something in the salad) which was inedible. Ichiban's was way better. Seemed like nice people.

Consistently bad fish in roll
Reviewer: David Vo
from Santa Barbara, CA
I came in with a friend for a late-ish meal and the moment the Hip-Hop roll hit my mouth, it was like deja vu. What is that foul taste in my mouth and why does it taste so familiar? That's right, it's old fish and the same roll I ordered last time I was here. Newsflash: fish isn't supposed to smell or taste old or "fishy" for that matter. After we each tried a piece (2/5th's), I didn't feel right sending it back. But I will remember next time - don't order the hip-hop roll. It's Edomasa's equivalent of the "house special". In other words, their way of getting rid of the other night's scraps. The upside is the service is generally good, except the waitstaff never notices when you need something. They deliver your food and never talk to you again unless you flag them down.

OK food, bad management
Reviewer: Lam
from Santa Barbara, CA
I've been coming here for 4 years now and I like the food although it's not consistent sometimes. Service used to be faster and better, but recently they seem either understaffed or bad-managed. The last time I was there, it was hectic. All the waitresses were busy and the manager were standing, looking around?! I miss that old manager who always had a bright smile and came to our tables and made sure everything is fine....

really not so great
Reviewer: Jackson
from SF
The unagi/cucumber roll did not taste good - way too sweet bbq sauce on eel; California roll had ground up white paste in middle where there should be fish (fake crab). Gyoza was ok. Really, Santa Barbara restaurants in general seem highly overrated. Yes I'm quite particular, but a lot of years of eating great food, from NYC to SF Bay Area, not to mention excellent homecooking... anyway, that's the idea here - tell it like it is. This place rated 5 stars?? I don't think so! Quite dark insidew and not especially clean.

why is edomasa so crowded?
Reviewer: rachel
from Santa Barbara, CA
I just had dinner at edomasa with my mom because it is always so busy so we thought it would be good. However, the philadelphia roll smelled and tasted like it had been left out all night (fishy). The gyoza contained pork that looked raw. The tenpura was fine, however. I figured out why it is so busy- it cost 33 dollars for two people! Nice and cheap but I won't be returning.

All around pretty good restaurant
Reviewer: Nicole
from Santa Barbara, CA
This place has a great dinner special! The food has been cosistently above average and the service is prompt and polite. I've been there countless times over the last several years. Sometimes its a quiet date in the corner or its for a group of 10 very loud and admittedly annoying people. Each time the service and experience has been wonderful. They are very patient and accomodating to large parties and always ask for ID which is great to see. This place is fun and friendly, the food is delicious!

Dining here +10 years, over 300 visits, great every time!
Reviewer: Dean
from Santa Barbara, CA
I have tried 98% of the menu and everything I have ordered has been prepared very well and tasted very good every time. I have only had 1 slightly wrong order in over 300 meals (I asked for no salad dressing) but it was fixed very quickly. The service is always fast and friendly. It is almost always busy and packed but the entire staff is always working at 110% speed to take care of everyone as fast as possible. It is very apparent to see when someone is just "working at a job" or when they actually "take pride in doing their job well". Out of all the places in the world I have eaten at more than 3 or 4 times, this is the only restaurant I've ever seen in my 30+ years that I can honestly say I've NEVER seen anyone slacking off or not caring about what they were doing. Edomasa is #1 on my long list!
