“This place has become a must stop every time I venture to SB now. The beach, the food, the service, and mostly the whiskey list will have me coming back constantly. Last week I went for lunch and dinner in the same day in my trip I had so much fun“
“Dropped by here over the weekend for some seafood cravings and I absolutely loved trying this place. We started off with oysters that were larger than any I’ve had before in a warm buttery sauce along with some of their delicious clam chowder with bits of bacon! To top it off, I personally had the fish and chips with shrimp, which was an amazing combo! Can’t wait to be back, beautiful place with amazing seafood.Parking: Mall sized lot“
“Ambiance and service is good. Loved the shrimp soup they served us. Shrimp diablas was spicy but good. Great and refreshing aguas frescas, they have a good portion too. Only critique I have is on the ceviche mixto. The flavor was just not there - maybe just a bad day. Overall good dining experience! I will be coming back on for their taco deals.“
“I love fresh fish and since moving from Hawaii to here it's been impossible to find locally. Most of the places I've gone to have been middling at best, some I would just call serving bait. Nikka serves a tempura style fish that was cooked perfectly with a light batter coating The fish was fresh and firm as it should be. I heartily recommend Nikka and we'll be back soon for more.“
“This is some of the most generous poke I’ve had by far. The price is just like any other poke spot but more food. I Recommend getting literally anything. My family and I had different proteins and different sauces and asked for them to add all the toppings (which is included) and the three bowls tasted amazing.“
“Went for a club meeting on a beautiful sunny day. The outside patio is a comfortable place to watch golfers and enjoy the scenery. The food was well cooked including the vegetables that were not overdone, and the service was efficient and unobtrusive.“
“I've been there previously for take out when working in Goleta. This time we went to dine in. Small casual place. After we were seated I notice several diners were regular and knew the staff and each other. One can find "real" Chinese dishes , along with Americanized favorites. Not too hungry so we ordered the won ton soup and chicken chow fun to share Both were good and comforting. (Remembered to take photo after soup was gone and chow fun partially eaten). Staff was friendly and food came out fast. Only minus was the tea was not hot enough“
“Loved the uni shooter and the clam chowder. Would recommend these! Lobster bisque was great too. The pastas were good and the seafood was definitely fresh! The toast that it comes with was divine. The sauce was a little off. Casual spot with amazing waterfront to eat alongside!“
“Best poke in IV. I do have a bone to pick with the way Poke Theory is run. Dining here feels more like a stressful cafeteria... I wish it matched the chiller vibe of Isla Vista. When you walk in, you have to write your order on a tiny paper using a pencil that has a plastic spoon attached to it. I then sit down and notice that directions for EVERYTHING are printed laminated and taped on the wall (like "write order here with sanitized pencils", and "throw away trash here"). But in all fairness, I'm still rewarding four stars because, again, the poke itself is good. Just thought I could provide some constructive feedback to make it a more enjoyable dining experience for customers.“
“Found this place after riding bikes down on the water. Service was excellent. Food obviously freshly made. Egg rolls were fairly plain. Small and bland in taste My wife had the kung pao chicken which was tasty albeit a little overdone. I had the crispy mandarin chicken which was excellent. The portions on the entrees were good sized. Solid location overall and always nice to support local restaurants.“
“Phenomenal. I went with a friend and we had the lamb shank and the rib-eye, which were amazing. The house steak sauce and the bernaise sauce went so well with the rib-eye. We also had the octopus appetizer and it was beyond delicious. Loved this place. Will definitely be back. Incredible views of the pacific ocean as well from the patio.“
“Chuck's is one of my favorite places in all of Santa Barbara. A locals place that's been there for forever. Great steaks, always love the New York Strip and always is cooked perfectly to my temp. Place does get busy. But the service is phenomenal! Great, great service by a pretty, tall blonde young lady.... Kayla? She seems to handle the busy restaurant with ease, attentive and just a friendly personality. We'll be back!“
“Wow this is one of the best poke I’ve ever had! I’m super impressed! The decorations inside is beautiful. I couldn’t stop looking at the colored balls above! When we went in to pick up our order, the person working didn’t know we were there so we waiting for awhile until I finally yelled out to them in the back lol. I don’t like waiting around. I got their slushy and it was really good! I definitely recommend this place! The fish is so fresh and so delicious. I’m sad I didn’t get to go the last time I went to Santa Barbara. I’m craving it now. Until next time :)Parking: Street parking“
