Sakana Japanese Restaurant and Sushi Bar

We went here for an evening adults only meal. Went beyond our expectations. So innovative and tasty. Every dish we had was fresh, excellently prepared and beautifully presented. Each dish had its own unique sauce, which enhanced the dish. This is an excellent choice for Japanese food.

SIAM Elephant Thai Restaurant

Reviewed By bethinhoboken

Staff was pleasant and service was quick. Wonton Soup was tasty altho the wontons seemed a bit under cooked. I had the red curry which was tasty but I would have preferred a few more vegetables, there was tons of chicken (which is great) but it would have been better balanced with more veggies. Thai iced tea was very good. I've had better Thai food but this was pretty decent and I'd go back and try something different.

Always like to come back here when I am in Santa Barbara. This Sushi place is always crowded and never disappoints. The wait to get a table (including outdoor seating) can be an hour. Plenty of places to enjoy some wine or a cocktail while you wait in the direct neighborhood

We liked their parent restaurant, Empty Bowl, in the Public market downtown, sonwere delighted when this offshoot opened. Food is just as good and more choices. First I always try the Pad Thai and theirs ranks right up there. My husband loves their curries, while I usually go for the hangover noodles. We’ve eaten there 4 times since their recent opening , trying different dishes, no disappointments. Will keep going back!
