With a rich history in the local dining scene—including his previous ventures at Sato’s Kitchen and Montecito’s Restaurant Kai—Chef Sato has been delighting food lovers since opening Kai Sushi in 2000. Hailing from Tokyo, Japan, Chef Sato honed his culinary skills at Shinjuku Culinary School and gained invaluable experience working in the renowned fish market of Jogashima. His career soared when he joined the prestigious Tokyo Kaikan and later took on the challenge of opening a restaurant in Los Angeles. After serving as head chef at Sushi Zen in Oregon, he settled in Santa Barbara and brought his passion for traditional Japanese cuisine to life. Located at the lively corner of De La Guerra and State Street, Kai Sushi is known for its daily delivery of fresh uni and vibrant dishes. Even after more than twenty-five years, Chef Sato continues to impress with his unique twist on Japanese flavors. Additionally, he co-authored "The Idiot’s Guide to Sushi and Sashimi," making it easy for home cooks to craft delicious sushi and sashimi confidently. **Come by and experience the artistry and authenticity of Chef Sato’s culinary creations in KAZ TO GO!** **KAZ TO GO MENU** [![](https://blog.restaurantconnectionsb.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Screenshot%202024-07-30%20at%2010_46_59%E2%80%AFPM.png?width=640&height=396&name=Screenshot%202024-07-30%20at%2010_46_59%E2%80%AFPM.png)](https://blog.restaurantconnectionsb.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Screenshot%202024-07-30%20at%2010_46_59%E2%80%AFPM-1.png) **Online order:** 📞 (805) 687-9753 👩🏻‍💻 restaurantconnectionsb.com **Location:** 3613 STATE ST. SANTA BARBARA, CA 93105 **Hours:** TUES-SAT 12:00AM – 7:30PM SUN-MON Closed [![](https://blog.restaurantconnectionsb.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/order%20now%20button-Mar-13-2026-09-12-32-8028-AM.png?width=200&height=70&name=order%20now%20button-Mar-13-2026-09-12-32-8028-AM.png)](https://restaurantconnectionsb.com/) **RELIABLE.
