" I've been a regular at Arigato for years, and consistently, the quality has been excellent. I love their attention to detail, particularly in terms of sushi preparation. The nigiri is always fresh, and the service is top-notch! The last time I visited, I ordered the uni with quail egg, and it was heavenly! The atmosphere is perfect for a casual dinner date. If you're a sushi lover like me, you'd appreciate Arigato's commitment to quality! " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing sushi! My family and I went to Arigato, and it was one of the best dining experiences we've had! The dishes were all expertly prepared with high-quality ingredients. I loved that the sushi was fresh and not overdone, just enough for a good sushi experience! The service staff was super friendly and welcoming. The only downside was that we had to wait a bit longer for a table, but for the food we received, it was totally worth it! Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place was recommended by a friend of mine, and I can see why! The sushi is vibrant, fresh, and flavorful. I loved everything we ordered, from roll options to sashimi. The setting is on the smaller side which makes it cozy, but be prepared for a hearty wait. The service was friendly, offering recommendations throughout our meal. The quality of the food justified the higher price. I would absolutely return for another delightful meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Arigato was quite thought-provoking. Despite hearing lots of hype, I found it to be just okay. The sushi quality was decent, but I couldn't shake the feeling that some rolls were over-sauced. This isn't the sushi I grew up eating. The service, although friendly, felt a bit slow and overwhelmed. I must say, though, the atmosphere is nice for a casual dining experience. It's worth checking out if you're looking for something unique, but it may not become a regular spot for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit to Arigato, and wow, I was impressed. The staff was incredibly welcoming, and the setting was beautifully crafted. I sampled a couple of their specialty rolls, and I have to say, the quality of the fish used was remarkable. I’m particularly picky about fish freshness, and everything was perfect. My only recommendation would be to expand the vegetarian options a bit more. Beyond that, I had an overall wonderful experience and would be happy to come back anytime. It’s a truly special sushi place. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an amazing time at Arigato Sushi! We enjoyed a large array of dishes, and each was better than the last. The fish was incredibly fresh and expertly prepared. The service was attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I must say, the prices are a bit on the higher side, but you certainly get what you pay for—fresh ingredients and beautiful presentation. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Santa Barbara! " (*Curated Review*)

" A great spot for sushi lovers in Santa Barbara! Their menu offers a variety of tasty options, and the sushi is always fresh. I loved sitting at the bar and watching the chefs at work. The service was prompt and friendly. While the price can be a little steep, the quality of the food makes it worth it; however, I think the portion sizes could be improved. But still definitely worth the visit, I'll be back! " (*Curated Review*)
