Dong Hae Sushi

This place definitely joined the clean plate club! The sushi chef was fantastic and very friendly! We got a chef's choice 20 piece and it was 100% worth the price! The fish melted in my mouth! Will definitely be coming back!

Our family's favorite sushi place for years! For dinner we share a variety of rolls. Jalama, AutoZone, Las Vegas, & salmon are our favorites. The "lunch box" special is an AWESOME value!

I go with my friends to here, often, and we're always getting a couple things from the kitchen to try. We order so much when we go. I love this place. Definitely one of my favourite places to visit when my friends just south of Gavitora come to today.

Some of the best rolls I've ever had. Seemed a little pricey but the rolls were huge! So really a good deal. Some of their rolls are named after the stores around them, really funny. I was loving the Autozone Roll. Highly recommended.

I had given a bad review in the past but looking back the service was very likely affected by the COVID pandemic. If you compare sushi restaurants in town , Don Hae is the finest.

Went with the fam. We had a great time, everything was so good, we had to come back again. My favorite was the salmon skin roll the flavor was outstanding. We had a great time. Brandy gave us excellent service.

Food was delicious we ordered teriyaki chicken with dumplings 🤤 hand roll spicy tuna, Hawaiian roll and muscles. Everything was perfect! From the food to the music playing setting the chill mood to quick service. chef was awesome and gave us a complimentary plate of sushi.

I went here with my niece. It was her first time trying certain foods so we really enjoyed our experience. We went at lunchtime, around 1 pm, but it was quite busy. The service was great but a little slower than normal, simply because they were busy. The chef gave us a house sushi roll on the house which was completely unexpected but greatly appreciated. We left full and happy. The lunch menu was a great way to try a little bit of everything too. Highly recommend the deep fried cheesecake for dessert!

Quick service, great food, and very nice people. We don't get out to dine much cause it's way expensive to even exist these days, but we wanted to treat ourselves this month, so we went out on a lunch date. For just the 2 of us, it was a hundo with tip. Worth it? Ya, I think so. Went on a Wednesday at 3 in the afternoon. Only 1 other person was there at that time, so we got in and out within 30 min. Maybe affordable for some people but we like to take these moments as a "special treat".

Every time I am in town, I try to eat at this wonderful Sushi restaurant. They have something for everyone, and they have a huge selection of rolls, cooked hot Japanese food, lots of appetizers, and great service! The Teriyaki chicken has a delicious, charred flavor and the best sauce. Everything is always cooked perfectly and the sushi is very fresh. The portions are very good size. I think this is a Hidden Gem in Lompoc, and if you are looking for great sushi, try it out!

Great sushi spot in Lompoc! Had the best service!

Absolutely the best sushi spot in town! Supra (sushi chef) is a Rockstar! This is my families go to restaurant for all events, outings and meals. Yum!!! Get it to go all of the time too. Solid 5 stars!!!!

I love to come and eat at this place , it’s a family restaurant, with delicious rolls, my favorite always,lobster roll, a total of 6 spring rolls topped with lobster and that special sauce. If you dine in Cheff sent some Fried rolls while you wait or in between your meal. Honestly speaking you will not be disappointed.

My favorite sushi restaurant, hands down… and I am so picky about my sushi!! The rolls are huge, fresh, and are presented so beautifully. 👌🏼

Yay for super attentive staff and superbly friendly! Sushi was fresh and tasty and the Happy hour special rocks! Reasonably priced and great portions. We enjoyed, from top to bottom, James Bond Roll, Tiger Roll, and Hawaiian Roll.

I'm writing this review in my car after demolishing my Dong Hae house rolls because that's how good they were. This is my second time at Dong Hae and it's been great both times, although the house rolls were significantly more memorable. This place has come a long way from being a Wienerschnitzel. The vibes are cozy and sitting at the counter at night feels timeless. It's clean, the service is great, and the employees are friendly and polite.

We absolutely love going here to eat. It is a favorite for a quick lunch meet-up with friends, or a special birthday night out for the family. We still love to go eat there even though we have moved 45 minutes away. We'll keep going back because of the quality of the food. It's definitely worth checking out!

I love this place!! Chef and staff are friendly, professional, kind, caring and enjoy serving you. They make your dining experience a joy. Food is always top quality, eye appealing and extremely appetizing. I have tried a lot on the menu--and everything was OVER THE TOP-- DELICIOUS!!!! Give it 10 stars...you need to try this place!!!

We received excellent customer service from Mary today for lunch she greeted us with a smile, checked on us and just provided us with excellent service. Thank you! always my favorite place

I've been about 10 times over the last 5 years or so and it's been very good every time. One recommendation is to ask for more wasabi and soy sauce on your to-go order and then you'll give it a five-star review too.

We usually order the Hawiian, Rainbow, and Spicy Tuna rolls. They always turn out great! During lunch they also have great lunch combos that come with a variety of choices. Always a pleasure having sushi here. They never disappoint. Staff is very friendly! We will be back soon!

I am adding a update to the previous review they no longer are withholding drinks like they used to and i have nothing negitave to say about them any longer but feel it would not be right to just completely remove the previous review. So all i say at this point is currently theyhave excellent food, service, and i can not recommend them highly enough. Thank you Great sushi. Decent prices. I would give them a higher rating but they have one problem, whenever anyone orders a drink they will not bring it out until you ask the wait staff, if you don't ask they will not bring it but it will still appear on your bill. I have talked to many people about this issue with everyone experienced the same thing (most people didn't realize until i brought it up and think the wait staff forget because it's busy most of the time), including other customers, and former/current employees. The wait staff is instructed by management/owners to don't bring customers beverages they order, other until they ask during their meal. They are also instructed to leave it on the bill, unless customers say something. According to wait staff i have spoken to 75% ask for their beverages, or notice it on the bill thinking It's a simple mistake, but 25% never recieved a beverage and still pay for it. It's fraud, and wrong!!! If this was not a practice for this resturant I would give them 5 stars because everything else is excellent. I would stop patronizing them completely, but it's really excellent sushi.

The food was really good ! I dont have a picture of dinner but here's dessert

Food was excellent, service very friendly, if not a little slow. I ordered a soda but didn't get it till the end of the meal. They made up for up by not charging me so it's all good. I'm going back for sure everything is delicious!

1st time here was great. The food was well worth a little wait for to go orders to process. The eel was exceptionally fresh tasting. The tempura, which I normally don't eat, was excellently light battered and tasty. The surprise house roll is excellent. Fresh Wasabi is on the menu! Some R&B came on near the end of our meal to create a nice vibe. We wish Dong Hae Sushi all the best and success!

Had a fantastic late lunch with hubby Richard Rodgers, at Don Hae. The food is outstanding! The staff are very nice. I recommend this place.

Normally I would give theme a good review... Unfortunately I received horrible service our server did not get us any refills and that same person was flirting with three men while attending the cash register. It took her several minutes to attend us so we left unsatisfied and thirsty..

Food was extremely greasy and my salmon roll looked like a toddler put it together. This place is easily $5 more per roll than some of the other options in town and half the flavor.

They sat us down when the place was maybe half full. They gave us menu's and asked if we wanted water, we said yes. We waited for 20 minutes. No water. No service. We left after 22 minutes of being seated at our table. We went across the street to Umami Sushi, also maybe half full. We were seated, served water within a few minutes. Ordered within 5 minutes. Miso and Salad soon after. Food out in 20 minutes.

There are really only two kinds of rolls here...spicy tuna or california roll...the only difference is minor variations in what they throw on the top of the roll. It would be nice to have some variety/creativity in roll ingredients. The roll should compliment the fish and sauces placed on top of it, not merely be a generic vessel for their delivery. The variety of fish offered is nothing special, mostly just the sushi standards. Quality of fish is lacking. They confuse crab meat with imitation crab meat on their menu. The live shellfish offers are more gimmick than anything else and are expensive. I was also frustrated by the lack of knowledge on what was available on or off the menu by the staff. I have to say this is definitely not the best sushi in town by any means as the other reviewer suggested.

Normally I enjoy coming here to eat but I didn’t exactly get the best experience or customer service, I ordered a Newport Beach roll but instead was given a baked lobster roll and normally I’d shrug it off as a mistake but my girlfriend is allergic and she’d eaten a piece. When I called about it they didn’t seem apologetic nor did they apologize, they made a new roll at no charge but this could have been a lot worse had she eaten more.

Our second visit. The first was delightful. This time was very disappointing. The teriyaki chicken was cold. My beef teriyaki was barely warm. Tempura vegetables were OK. Service was slow, even though we arrived before 12. Next time we go somewhere else.

I had Dejanie G. take my order over the phone today @2pm and it they had a poor attitude + customer service. In the middle of me telling them my order, they started talking to someone else without telling me to hold on for a second or even saying sorry after the fact, just "what was it?" In a careless tone. They also lacked server etiquette and just stared at me while I went in to pickup. No "Hi" "Thank you" or even a decent attitude. Not sure if it was personal or she was having a bad day, but overall bad customer experience. Sushi is alright.

Horrible sushi. You can tell so much of it is frozen. The mussels were fishy tasting, the lobster roll was very salty & the Caterpillar role had no flavor. The fried calamari was over battered and very greasy. The service was pleasant.

Ordered ahead. Could see my food ready on the shelf and as there was aline to order I stepped up to let them know I was picking up. The waitress bluntly said she was helping everyone else 1st. Didn't ask me asingle question. Won't be going back.

This place used to be good but we had the worst experience tonight! The waitress took our order and never came back, we had to go and ask for everything we needed. We never got utensils and our 3 year old daughter had to start eating with her hands!! By the time we went up and asked for utensils she didn’t even want her food. Plus we had to go up to the counter to ask for boxes and then again for the check and never was able to get refills on drinks. The food was awful and insanely overpriced. We paid $90 for the worst food and service in town. Go there at your own risk!

ME AND MY FAMILY GOT FOOD POISONING. My 2 year old daughter thankfully did not eat the food that night, but myself, my four year old, and my partner were throwing up all night. They denied a refund, horrible business. Gave them a try one other time before this and each time the customer service is half decent. If you try to call they either dont answer or they give horrible service on the phone as well.

No customer greeting when first walked in( i was only customer) . Music sucked while i had to wait. Was charged for a wrong order,had to correct my own order and also had to go back and get the "extras"i ordered with the meal...not cool. The wasabi paste(not wasabi) was as flat as a nickle and same small size,plus 5 small tiny pieces of ginger,almost overlooked on plate. Not a great experience for first time plus people smoking weed outside in parking lot while i waited...Not cool for business while another older customer pulled into lot to be exposed to that experience. I will NEVER support this business from my experience today...we have too many other choices for better service and food quality to help this town. To the owner... PAY ATTENTION to how workers greet customers and what the food experience should be for patrons that would like to support family owned business's.

Horrible customer service, I stood going here years ago and decided to give it a try. Then I remembered why I stopped going here. The food is ok but the customer service is horrible. Waitress/kitchen staff messed up my order and forgot to make our food. After waiting over an hour and watching people walk in after us sit down and get there food we complained. They were unapologetic and rude and we ended up taking our food to go. There are far better sushi places in town with good customer service, better decor, and good sushi.Don't waste your time!

Paid $50 for something I definitely could have made better myself at home. The worst sushi I've had in the county. Chewy fish, dry "teriyaki" and tempura that was seemingly made with cake batter. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place.
