The Best Sushi in Santa Barbara, According to a Local Writer | Eater LA

"Oceanfront views are surprisingly hard to come by in a city so close to the Pacific, but that’s what makes Oku so special. Situated right on Cabrillo Boulevard near the touristy Stearns Wharf, Oku offers Asian favorites from the same owner as Opal Bar & Restaurant. The robust menu has everything from dumplings to noodles. Try popular maki rolls like the popular Mike Wazowski, topped with bigeye tuna and a yuzu wasabi aioli, or the smoked salmon and cream cheese Yo Adrian. They also have a unique selection of vegetarian sushi options starring tofu and vegetables like roasted bell peppers and portobello mushrooms." - Meaghan Clark Tiernan
