The food is amazing and taste so good. Great quality and its very relaxing. The sushi are all perfect. The baked salmon roll was the best. The hotpot was so savory and the noodles were perfect. The portions are perfect. The staff was very welcoming snd helpful with any questions. Absolutely in love. The price is very good as well.

Update: we swung by for a late lunch on Halloween day and were pleasantly surprised to find that they have a happy hour menu. We ordered the plain edamame, a salmon roll with avocado, and a black dragon roll. All fresh, all delicious, and the service is just the best in Ventura. We love this spot! We had a fabulous dining experience here with delicious, fresh food and exceptional service. We sat outside with the evening breeze bringing in the fog, and the seating area was quaint, pretty with flowers and lights, and heaters going to keep us warm. We ordered the edamame, beef gyoza (it was pork-free, and they had veggie available as well), and green mussels as appetizers. All were fresh and tasty, and our favorite was the meaty and flavorful mussels. The gyoza had a delightful dipping sauce served alongside it. As for sushi, we ordered the spicy tuna roll and ocean roll, and they were each perfectly prepared with the right amount of spice. The service was above and beyond, and we appreciate the friendliness and attentive servers. Topped everything off with a small bowl of miso soup and this meal and visit was at what we feel is the best sushi restaurant in Ventura. We will be back!

Sat outside for a quick lunch, service was good, food was good and I was happy. I got the almond fried tofu which was different, sauce was really good and the H.O.T roll. They were good and reasonably priced.

I don't even like Sushi, but guess what I loved it here. Sure I ordered the teriyaki chicken fried tempura combo plate. My daughter ordered the baked lobster roll, it was delicious. Every thing we ordered was great. Ya gotta order the sake. Fantastic service!

Best happy hour during the week and the most adorable outside experience in all of downtown Ventura. The food is always fresh and consistent and the Avocados are perfect every time!! All of the staff is very bubbly and outgoing which makes it that much more of a must try restaurant. Thank you Ellie for making this our weekly favorite stop!

It was the first time for all 3 of us, and our food was delicious. We'll come back again next time we're in Ventura.

One of my favorite sushi spots in the area - I always come for happy hour where the deals are amazing, and the service has always been incredibly attentive, friendly, and quick. Google says it's cash-only but it's not! I know their management changed recently so hopefully maybe the problematic employees other people have been pointing out have been changed. I've always had a pleasant and lovely experience here in the past few months and it's definitely a go-to spot!

If you love taking a trip down to flavor town then I would recommend Maki. The rainbow roll will knock your socks off. I’ve seen some complaints about the California roll being with crab and not salmon. I’ve had it, and it’s absolutely delicious. Escape tradition, embrace innovation. I’ve also seen people complain about tipping for groups, to which I say, you absolutely should tip. I’ve been to Maki a few times now and have loved it every time. The sushi is fresh, delectable and served quickly. There is lovely outdoor seating with heating to keep you cozy. The staff are friendly and don’t bother you. The beer is German size, cold and refreshing. Your bill is given promptly but you are not rushed away. Every time I pay, I dream about when I can rush back to my beloved Maki.

Great roll options as well as good prices. Our server was young and not very engaging but got our modified orders correct. It would have made the evening had the server been a little more knowledgeable of the menu and a bit more welcoming. Will definitely return regardless of the service, as the rolls were fresh and affordable.

Great dinner spot and wonderful service. The 6 dollar roll and the veggie tempura rolls were the crowd favorites. It wasn’t super busy, even on a Friday night.

Had lunch here. It was really good. The only issue i had was that when I first arrived I was waiting for the other party to show up. Which took about 10 minutes for them to arrive. Within that time the waiter served my drink but also asked me 2 times if I was ready to order and I told him I was waiting for the other guest to arrive.

went in for happy hour, rolls are okay, but the spicy ramen was super bland and not spicy at all. Wouldn’t recommend getting the soup, but other things were ok.

My SIL and family 2 adults and 2 kids dined here and told us to join them, they were halfway done with their food when we arrived and we sat at the same table. My husband and I placed our order - chicken teriyaki special combo and asked for a separate check. My SIL's husband went to pay and told us that they included 20% tip to the check because there were six of us. When we paid, they said the same thing - this policy made no sense to us. Food took about 10mins to come out, two of the plastic glasses they served have some sort of lipstick on the rim. The portion for our food was pretty large but expected for $24, we were famished and ate the whole thing. They do have the nicest outdoor settings on the entire street

Decided to give this place a try since our go to sushi place Banzai was closed. I thought since it changed names maybe it was new ownership and the food would be better than what it was before. Unfortunately, it was not. The rolls had SO much rice on them like you were eating mainly rice and mediocre fish. The fish didn't taste as fresh as I would like and the soy sauce containers on the table that say low sodium and definitely NOT low sodium so request it from your waiter/waitress if you go. Service was friendly but the food was disappointing.

I ordered the beef udon and a spicy yellowtail roll. The roll was a little tough. The udon texture was good and the meat's flavor was good, brother was a little too salty.

I ordered one roll to go, was charged for two. I had enough money on my card for one and the rest of my money on a different card. I was only supposed to be charged $19 for the one roll but instead she charged me all the money remaining on my card which was 24.19 and issued me a refund of $6 out of $33 total. it makes zero sense why I was only issued a refund of $6, the second roll surely didn’t cost $6. She took extra money from me because she was irritated she made a mistake in writing my order. Also when we came into the restaurant you could smell strong sewage. It took me a few days to consider writing this but I don’t like being taken advantage of so I decided to now. This was Saturday nov 1st.
