Quick service, great food, and very nice people. We don't get out to dine much cause it's way expensive to even exist these days, but we wanted to treat ourselves this month, so we went out on a lunch date. For just the 2 of us, it was a hundo with tip. Worth it? Ya, I think so. Went on a Wednesday at 3 in the afternoon. Only 1 other person was there at that time, so we got in and out within 30 min. Maybe affordable for some people but we like to take these moments as a "special treat".

Every time I am in town, I try to eat at this wonderful Sushi restaurant. They have something for everyone, and they have a huge selection of rolls, cooked hot Japanese food, lots of appetizers, and great service! The Teriyaki chicken has a delicious, charred flavor and the best sauce. Everything is always cooked perfectly and the sushi is very fresh. The portions are very good size. I think this is a Hidden Gem in Lompoc, and if you are looking for great sushi, try it out!

I'm writing this review in my car after demolishing my Dong Hae house rolls because that's how good they were.This is my second time at Dong Hae and it's been great both times, although the house rolls were significantly more memorable.This place has come a long way from being a Wienerschnitzel. The vibes are cozy and sitting at the counter at night feels timeless.It's clean, the service is great, and the employees are friendly and polite.

I went here with my niece. It was her first time trying certain foods so we really enjoyed our experience. We went at lunchtime, around 1 pm, but it was quite busy. The service was great but a little slower than normal, simply because they were busy. The chef gave us a house sushi roll on the house which was completely unexpected but greatly appreciated. We left full and happy. The lunch menu was a great way to try a little bit of everything too. Highly recommend the deep fried cheesecake for dessert!Parking: Private parking lot with at least 10 parking spacesKid-friendliness: Plenty of great options for kids, especially if you're looking for healthier optionsWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible, May need some assistance

We usually order the Hawiian, Rainbow, and Spicy Tuna rolls. They always turn out great! During lunch they also have great lunch combos that come with a variety of choices. Always a pleasure having sushi here. They never disappoint. Staff is very friendly! We will be back soon!

That was the worst restaurant experience I've ever had. The food was disgusting. Who puts ranch dressing on steamed veggies in a sushi restaurant?

I love to come and eat at this place , it’s a family restaurant, with delicious rolls, my favorite always,lobster roll, a total of 6 spring rolls topped with lobster and that special sauce. If you dine in Cheff sent some Fried rolls while you wait or in between your meal. Honestly speaking you will not be disappointed.
I was a bit unsure about eating here so I asked a nearby person who has eaten here often He gave a strong, favorable recommendation. We tried it and enjoyed the sushi. My wife ordered the lobster rolls and would do so again. we will definitely return. Oh, and the prices are excellent. Finally an affordable sushi spot.

I don’t know who’s managing the restaurant. Has lost the effectiveness of customer service. We called for take out meal for 45 minutes and phone was never answered. We drove down to restaurant and tried calling again right before entering the parking lot and still no answer. My wife walked in to make the take out order and asked if their was anything wrong with the phones and the lady responded “well we’re so busy!”. My wife looked around and saw only about 3 tables occupied. It seems someone is not interested in making sales. It’s disappointing to see what used to be such a customer inviting ambient, to an unwelcoming atmosphere. That’s reason for two stars. Hope this form of management doesn’t bring down this business. We’ve always enjoyed the food here.
