Sushiya Express — Restaurant in Isla Vista

Ordered the shoyu ramen with a side of gyoza (total was $30). Spending $30 for a bowl of ramen and an appetizer, I was expecting a lot more than what I got… Ramen was pretty bland and gyoza, although not bad, did not justify the price. The lady helping me out also didn’t know much. I asked if any meat came with the ramen, and she said no. I then pointed out one of their own pictures showing meat coming with it, and she then corrected herself.

The astounding part was the fact that they served shin ramen for $10… I asked her about it, and this happens to be the same exact packaged ramen that you can buy and make yourself for 50 cents a packet. If you are going to charge this much for food, you can make it better quality! I recommend to skip this place entirely and head to Nikka ramen in goleta downtown—you will...

This is my FAVORITE sushi restaurant and I am a picky eater but Sushiya is the BEST. Ive been here so many times and I promise you the quality is better than any expensive nice ambience sushi restaurant in downtown SB and all inexpensive ones combined. Sushiya is the best and the workers are always so kind and always smiling. I love visiting sushiya for my sushi fix, the quality is consistent and it hits every time. I always get their dragon roll, Alaska roll, and spicy baked salmon roll, all so delicious I can never decide my favorite. The rolls are BIG, portions are generous and it comes with free miso soup which is really yummy too! Thank you Sushiya for the amazing food, kind service,...

Came with high expectations, left disappointed and dissatisfied.

Had a bad experience at the restaurant for a first time.

Not very inviting.

Ordered a California roll and plain udon soup which was mostly covered in oil.

The California rolls fell apart themselves and the soup wasn’t nice.

It’s not a cheap place compared to other options around. Spent around 22$ for these two dishes.

I even found a piece of aluminum or whatsoever inside my miso soup.

The place seems to offer different Asian dishes but none of them being good enough.

Quality of food: 3/10 Atmosphere: 4/10 Recommend(?)...
