Koba Sushi: Reviews & Ratings
Toshi is an old friend. I was there the day he opened up. He offers a unique Old-school true Japanese sushi experience. Even though I don't live in Ventura anymore I still stop by. But as usual, he is swamped with customers.
Great place for sushi place after our fun day at the ocean. We take out our food and brought it to Leashless Brewery and watch NBA finals. Love all their sushi’s. The rolls are. Price are not bad, too many choices to choose from yummy sushi rolls to noodles and more.
It is not easy to find a traditional Japanese sushi bar in this area: Koba sushi is definitely your best option, if you're looking for one! Toshi san offers no frills, interesting and fresh nigiri cuts with generous portions at the right price. Highly recommended, I will go again when I find myself in the area.
One of best sushi restaurants in town. Amazing nigiri. Large cuts of fish and good ratio of rice. Flavorful without too many complex flavors. Definitely recommended
Just a heads up for anyone (like me) who doesn't call ahead to verify they are open. I went by earlier this evening and was disappointed to see a sign indicating that they will be closed until May 21st.
In my top 3 sushi places in ventura (Seaward sushi, Banzai Marina, and now Koba sushi). This restaurant is a smaller place that is cozy and inviting. It's a more traditional sushi restaurant that serves the freshest sushi! The staff was very nice and friendly. The place was spotless and pleasant to be in. And the food was delicious! It is pricey bit worth it. Would highly recommend to anyone that wants quality sushi (and sake)!
Great sushi and amazing service. Come early to get a seat, the whole place is 3 four top tables and 6 seats at the sushi bar. By 5:10 there was a waiting list of at least 4 parties. Super fresh and well prepared traditional sushi rolls
No American style rolls here. Most authentic sushi I've had in Ventura. Fresh fish. I especially enjoyed the blue crab handroll on the specials board. It's a little small inside, so there's a high possibility of having a wait.
