Rumble Fish

My wife and I absolutely loved this location. We stayed at a nearby hotel and grabbed lunch here one day. The wait was longer than a normal restaurant, but the food was a pleasant and enjoyable. It felt like a little hole in the wall. Great spot!

Great sushi joint with friendly staff & quick service. Portions are good & food is always delicious. Will be back again soon

Attentive staff and great food. The three of us shared edamame, a few rolls, and some sashimi. It was all very good, but the sashimi was excellent. Incredibley fresh.

Soooooo good. My table got a lion king roll, chicken teriyaki plate, unagi don, chicken karage, and a couple other dishes. We’ll be back if we’re in the area again. A gem in Scott’s Valley. The presumed owner, as far as I can tell, is kind and bubbly. I’m leaving this review while here lol.

Great place to grab some sushi

+1

Staff are always kind, sushi tastes great and they have great lunch specials!

the BEST sushi in town!! they have the best staff so friendly every time I go to another sushi place I regret it because they are just so good.

Great food, fast service, very friendly staff. To top it off, they make their own wassabi, you can taste the difference, the consistency isn't as smooth as the fake stuff. My number one sushi recommendation in Santa cruz county.

Always love dining here, even though it is often very busy. Great place for date night or as a sports bar, if you get the seats that view a screen. My husband ❤️ s that.

All of the food was really good. The outdoor patio was nice. Highly recommend the Warriors and the Aloha rolls.

I'm very impressed w the quality, sizes, prices, and overall value you get here. Yes, it is all still takeout which isn't always what you want. They have a cute outdoor area to eat. They have the BEST sashimi salad at such a great value. Just double check you have wasabi and chopsticks as those have been forgotten several times. I am overall very happy with this spot and will keep returning!

Every time I am here the food is amazing. I adore the staff and Luna and Mr.Kim are always friendly. I love being a customer and I loved my time working here. I will always come back when I get the chance. I highly recommend to anyone wanting an amazing Japanese food experience. Out of all the Japanese restaurants in Scott's valley I will not dine at any other that Rumble Fish.

After a round of golfing at De Laveaga, 4 of us from south bay stopped by Scott Valley for dinner on the way back. What a hidden gem! We enjoyed a great dinner here sitting in the patio. Tasty rolls, spicy fish rice bowl, combo plate of teriyaki beef and pork katzu and shrimp tempura, and Sake. Perfect finish for the golf outing. BTW, found out that the owner is a golfer from the picture at the hallway (next to the restrooms 😊

Came in for a quick lunch and ate outside on their patio. Staff was friendly and attentive. An incredible amount of choices including lunch specials. Good value in large rolls. My fried tofu was perfectly golden and light. Everything was fresh and served quickly. One of our many local sushi restaurants that we love.

I was truly impressed by this Japanese cuisine. Every dish was incredibly delicious and exceptionally fresh. The flavors were deeply authentic. Having been to Japan several times, dining at this restaurant made me feel like I was right back there. I’ll definitely be coming back — this place is a gem. ❤️

1st time, and it was great. Got there when fist opening and service was super. Food was very fresh and tasty. We will be back!

A great little sushi spot. The hamachi is always on point and their bentos are sizable. 2 dollar hot sake is a no brainer. TVs for sports. Small sushi bar. Outstanding service.

Great place for rolls. We loved our Harley Davidson rolls and spicy fish bowl. Great service and loved the outdoor seating. Will definitely come again

Stopped at RF for a quick lunch. It was delicious 😋 and a feast for the eyes. It's almost too beautiful to eat! We will be back soon!

I was very impressed with what I’d call hospitality that is unmatched. Our server Nessa was extremely patient with our large party of 12 which is always tricky. We were sending my niece off to study abroad dining in to some AWESOME sushi, some of us driving pretty far. We are humbly thankful for the accommodation and spectacular food. PS. I had the Ms Poggy Sushi adding in fried banana 🍌. YUM

Fully operational... Popular place. I love local restaurants in Scotts Valley. I think the sushi here is a bit better than the other place in town. Still love the food in the place. Don't hesitate to try it... Been coming there for years. The staff still remembers me by first name even though I'm not necessarily a regular. I always get shrimp tempura pan, fried pot stickers or gyoza. And also hibachi appetizer... Love the place. I'll add photos next time. I remember years ago they were AOI . Owners back then moved to Gilroy. Try it you'll like it

This is the single most extraodinary and fantastical food experience we've ever had. The sushi here is nothing short of excellent and works of art..

I have to admit I am very impressed. My hotel suggested I walk the .4 miles here instead of the place a few blocks away. The service was friendly and quick. The portion size is enormous, not to mention fresh, clean, and delicious. They handled my gluten and egg allergies with no issues. A++ will be back before I leave town.

Very nice food and nice service in the local jem we just found.

Been going here since I was 15! From the moment you walk in, the staff is welcoming and attentive, making you feel right at home. The atmosphere is modern and relaxing, perfect for both a casual lunch or a special dinner. The sushi here is absolutely top-notch — super fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor!

Solid place for sushi and Japanese dishes. Great local atmosphere for gatherings and groups. Top not service always.

This is the best sushi in Santa Cruz and their prices are pretty reasonable for sushi.

We've been going here for years, and it is consistently *the best* quality sushi in our area. An excellent value - sushi's not inexpensive but you never feel like you're not getting your money's worth from them. The owner Luna and her crew are fun and friendly and always provide a welcoming atmosphere and great service. Two big thumbs up for this place!

Overall good lunch stop in an area with relatively few choices. Perhaps a first for me is that this review is in regards to the exceptionally warm and understated service that I received from the hostess when I came in as a single diner amongst several large groups. She sat me immediately and made a point to take my order when the main server was occupied taking care of the large groups. She had a wonderful smile and energy throughout. It truly turned a otherwise good experience to a great one. To the unnamed hostess working the lunch hour on a Friday, I hope that your management appreciates you and you see great success in your future.

One of my favorite sushi places ever. The Golden Gate roll is especially delicious. Rroom for a ♿ both inside and outside seating areas.

I can't tell you much because I am vegetarian and don't eat fish, but it is a popular Sushi place for locals in Santacruz and Scotts Valley. Large portions and very nice service.

This is my go to sushi place. The food is always excellent, and the prices seem very fair and reasonable. During nice weather I really enjoyed dining on the new outdoor patio. The service people are very nice and personable. I go back regularly.

First time here. Customers have the ability to order online and get a 10% discount. Unfortunately it didn't work on my phone. Staff said they'd had problems but wouldn't honor the discount. Fresh fish, fast service. Didn't go away hungry. Smaller patio area which was nice.

Good sushi, but it can be insanely busy. Tables can be a little too close and too small for some. Staff is friendly, but can forget parts of your order when they get overwhelmed with customers.

Great customer service. The sushi was all fabulous. I ordered seafood tempura and was surprised to see that it wasn't the light crispy batter but panko breaded instead. I'd had never had tempura breaded style before. The dining areas are relatively small and it did get pretty loud in there at one point but the overall quality of food and service was fantastic.

While visiting Scott's Valley, I came across Rumble Fish. Great menu! And the staff was very attentive. But I'm not sure what to do with the atmosphere. So much potential. The rolls are really good, with fresh fish and ingredients. Portions are dead on! Not too big or small. The albacore Sashimi was delicious! I would definitely recommend this place when you're in the area looking for sushi.

The food was good and the service friendly. Quiet when we stopped on Saturday for a late lunch.

Way too noisy inside, and the piped music outside is over the top. Not happy that we can't pay cash or split a bill without an extra charge. These things keep me from coming back very often.

The Food is normally delicious, not today… my baked roll wasn’t even warm plus the service needs help. It wasn’t busy only three customers! If you order on line Don’t forget to add this code if you want your 10% for ordering on line. They will not fix the discount at the window not cool. The beer is flat and tasted gross 🤔 we will never return we use to be regulars…. Sad

Friendly, quick service but unfortunately the food was terrible. Look at the picture of the sashimi. Um, sashimi is supposed to be thin nice evenly sliced pieces not huge chunks of fish that need to be cut up on one’s own. So strange. Quality was meh and tasted terrible. What a waste as I couldn’t eat it. California roll wasn’t much better. The Nori was wilted and made it impossible to eat and the avocado was hard and again, thick chunks. Apparently the sushi chef doesn’t know what they’re doing here. Even the miso soup had a strange taste. Side salad had large pieces of spring mix that weren’t cut up so they were difficult to eat, especially with chopsticks. Expensive waste of money and food. At least they had outdoor dining and allowed dogs.

Doordash deactivated my account cuz I waited for the order more then 40 minutes... thank you...

The sweet potatoes fries were wet and soggy. Horrible. I just threw them away. The sushi was just ok. Nothing great. Won’t return.
