Itsuki - Goleta

Hidden gem in Goleta for great sushi by a local family owned business: It's by the Goleta DMV and the old appliance store, worth the drive if you're located downtown. Went twice with a friend for lunch and was thoroughly satisfied both times! We had the amiyaki beef bento box, the tempura shrimp roll, a side of teriyaki chicken, sake, and a Sapporo. Thank you for a great meal both times and excellent service, all the staff is so kind and attentive.

The ramen and soup here is pretty good. Every time I come I usually either get the spicy seafood ramen or the beef curry ramen. I got the beef curry ramen this time and the flavor definitely tasted good. The only thing that was a little disappointing was the lack of beef it had. They only gave me a few cut up pieces that were really small.

We ordered food here to support local businesses, but there will be no other coming back. Seaweed Salad: $9.50 for costco seaweed salad. Shoyu ramen: $17 for one thin slice of pork belly (see attached photo) and a half an egg??? It's not even ramen eggs that are soft boiled and soaked in soy sauce and mirin. It was just a plain hard boiled half an egg!!! This place is a scam! Do yourself a favor and stay away from it

Itsuki has great sushi and presentation of sushi compared to nearby sushi places. I had the tempura and sashimi bento (see picture below), which I have to say is was very unique in the fact that it had many components, but not a lot of each component. Their sashimi was fresh and tasty! Their sushi rolls are presented very well and taste great as well. My only criticism in this review is that it does cost a pretty penny, but overall the food was great!

I saw Itsuki on the Axxess Card and thought we'd try it. I'm so glad we stopped by! We really enjoyed our lunch and the service was pretty outstanding considering the lunchtime crowd. We did not feel rushed and didn't have to wait very long to receive our order. We ordered from the lunch special menu which featured typical bento box type lunches, but the quality was amazing! The menu is very reasonably price and had lots of interesting options.
