I haven't been to Itsuki in over a year and was really impressed with improvements in service and food. We had the okonomiyaki appetizer (savory pancake with meat and vegetables) that was as good as those I've had in Japan! We followed with a course of sushi - yellowtail belly, ama edi (sweet shrimp), Japanese mackerel, snapper, and uni, all delicious! We also had a futomaki roll - unagi, pickled vegetables, and tamago (egg cake) - superb!!! Now my favorite sushi place in Goleta!

It has a decent menu and the atmosphere isn't bad for an IV restaurant, but other than that Sushiya is overall NOT good. The sushi seems to be very over processed, and almost every roll is either fried or based on crab salad (i.e. california roll) Additionally, the service is unbelievably bad, I have eaten here way too many times, only out of necessity becuase there not many options in IV, and have several times waited 30+ mins for my food when I have been the only person there. Really unacceptable, and I would never recommend this place.

We were traveling and visited this sushi place on a Friday night -- packed!! Great friendly atmosphere. The service providers are really well attending -- multiple people always on top of what you need. The food was delicious in every respect. Lots of options, even a vegetarian sushi roll that was so beautifully made. Average prices. Would go again. Reminded us of Tomo Sushi which used to be in Burbank, CA.

We missed the lunch rush by coming after 1:30. Friendly service greeted us. We noticed that everyone else was a regular in this strip.mall setting. In the midst of the usual staff you would expect to see is this Japanese man in his sixties. Looks like a retired fisherman from Okinawa. He proceeds to prepare one of the best Chicago bowls I've had. The rolls were also great, bit you can't hide anything with sashimi. The slicing. The selection. The placement. Yep. This guy is the real deal. Doing it right because that's the way you do it. Not because he's on iron chef. Thank you, master. I now to your integrity.
