Delicious food, carefully curated dishes, and thoughtful
Delicious food, carefully curated dishes, and thoughtful menu! The service was excellent and the experience was delightful.
The food and waitstaff are AMAZING.
This is not only a quality restaurant but a phenomenal experience. I went for my birthday with my wife and we had the absolute best time! You must get the sake paring!! I can't wait to go back! Each plate has a story!
Where to start .
. amazing home made Japanese style food !! very fresh, very traditional, very authentic.. the chef goes above and beyond with the presentation and ingredients brought from Japan itself ( real wasabi, real soy sauce, real ginger ..etc). The service again very upscale relax ambiance.. listen it is pricey but a top quality food and top service it is worth it.. thank you for such an amazing food to celebrate our birthday!
Everyt time we go to Santa Barbara we try our best to visit
Everyt time we go to Santa Barbara we try our best to visit Yoichi's! We just ate there for our 4th or 5th time and it has never disappointed. The food is always amazing and the service is beyond reproach.
Excellent Kaiseki
Quite simply the best and most authentic Japanese food and service we have experienced in the USA, out of numerous restaurants visited over many years. Food and service exemplary. It is so misleading that Trip Advisor’s algorithm results in a relatively low ranking, this surely ought to be among the top restaurants in Santa Barbara.

Absolutely incredible! Went with my boyfriend for his birthday and we were treated like VIPs food was amazing. Every course was perfectly timed at our table. I can't wait to go back.
This was an amazing dining experience, great ambience.
Yoichi's also has a great Sake selection and very knowledgeable staff. The menu is seasonal, we will be back!
If ever, there was a restaurant that deserved 5+ stars it
If ever, there was a restaurant that deserved 5+ stars it is this one. The husband is the chef and the wife runs the restaurant with some help. Everybody is extraordinarily kind and the seven course prefixed meal is curated with awe inspiring taste, purity, naturalism, and attention to detail. This is truly an incredible food experience and an experience of being treated with love and kindness.
Great service! Server explains everything they bring out
Great service! Server explains everything they bring out even where the fish comes from how it's cooked. It's a set menu, an eight course dinner. Every dish is nicely presented in beautiful ceramic bowls and plates. The food is pure. There's not one fried item in those courses.
Delicious, creative and one of the best dining experiences
Delicious, creative and one of the best dining experiences in Santa Barbara. Not to be missed! Thank you to Yoichi and his wonderful staff. We loved our Kaiseki eight-course meal and drinks recently. It was our first time, but won't be our last.

Such a spectacular dinner and overall dining experience! The service was phenomenal and so kind and the food was simply delicious. Everything is quite simple and the flavors and quality of the food really speak for themselves. Yoichi is such a gem of a place near downtown SB! Very unassuming exterior but their kaiseki is truly delicious. Will definitely dream about coming back one day.
I have had Yoichi's on my radar for a few years and finally
I have had Yoichi's on my radar for a few years and finally went for dinner last weekend. It is STUNNING! I've been to Japan and live in LA where we have no shortage of amazing Japanese restaurants, from sushi to omakase, izakaya to kaiseki, and Yoichi's is up there with the very best of them. Each course of this seasonal tasting menu (aka kaiseki) was unique, incredibly well conceived, detailed, and utterly delicious. If we could've licked every plate without looking like total heathens, we would have. Service was attentive and warm and the chef's wife is the main server. Sake and wine list is wonderful (we had the Dassai 23) and some unique Japanese beers are available too. We loved every bite (and sip) and will be back soon. Don't overlook this little gem-- make a reservation and go. It's a set menu but they were very accommodating about dietary restrictions and aversions which is a refreshing change from some other spots. Highly recommend!! Arigato Yoichi-San for the very special and oishi dinner.
I had the pleasure of experiencing a traditional omakase
I had the pleasure of experiencing a traditional omakase tasting at Yoichis for my birthday over the weekend, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish. We began with an assortment of appetizers that set the stage for the culinary journey we were about to embark on. My favorite, was a steak bite that was perfectly marinated and melt in your mouth. Next came the soup course, featuring a delightful fish cake. The flavors were beautifully balanced, and the broth was simply divine - tasted like it could heal you! The Sashimi course stole the show for me. The selection of fresh fish was delicious. Each slice was a testament to Yoichis' dedication to sourcing the finest ingredients. The experience at Yoichis was not only about the food; it was elevated by the service. The servers took their time to explain each dish, they went above and beyond to recommend the perfect sake pairings we especially enjoyed the the Dassai 39. To add to the ambiance, Yoichis boasted custom-made dishware that added a personal touch to the dining experience. Each piece was a work of art, I only wish I could purchase the pieces myself! If you're seeking a lovely and authentic omakase tasting, Yoichis is an absolute must-visit in Santa Barbara!

Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it? |
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

How to list a Nobu Malibu reservation
Hi, I have a reservation to Nobu Malibu, but since they don't do text or e-mail confirmations I haven't been able to get my reservation posted. I have posted a screen shot of the phone conversation on the listing, but it keeps getting rejected. If anyone has an idea how I can get it approved that would be much appreciated, thanks!

I posted a request for a reservation this Thursday between 6:30 and 8 pm and initially the potential seller said it would be fulfilled by today. Now they changed it that they will only fulfill it by 5pm that same day. Basically I would have an hour and a half to get to the restaurant. Is this allowed?

Give the best answerApp
This app is a catfish and overrun by people programming “bots” and algorithms. It makes it frustrating for someone not well versed in this to have any movement. I thought this would be a fun side hustle, but unfortunately it’s become like any other “side hustle”. Don’t waste your time with this crap. Not a question, just a suggestion. Also don’t pay these fake “gurus” hundreds of dollars to teach you. Might as well sign up for a software class. 😕
