10 Best Japanese Restaurants in Van Nuys

“This is a great sushi spot ! I always go here for lunch at work. The best part is that most rolls are bogo 50% off. They are super helpful with great service. The ambiance is meh and it's kind of small but I'm really there for the food cause it's bomb !“

“The sushi at Otto sushi was awesome! We always order Orange Volcano it's so tasty and the presentation with fire always looks beautiful! The staff always friendly and attentive. I can't wait to come back and try Orange Volcano one more time. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!“

“I don't usually do the food truck thing but I saw that they would be pretty close to work so 3 of us went to check it out. We all ordered different things and we were all happy with our food. The owner was nice too. I definitely recommend.“

“This is a great family-run sushi spot. The sushi was good. We order 3 full rolls and we ate every bite. We could've eaten a lot more. The prices and service are good. There are only two things that could've been better: the ambiance and the wait time for receiving are order. Other than that, we were satisfied. I would definitely eat here again.“

“Jo & Go is one of the best kept secrets for fast, affordable sushi in the Valley. It's located inside the Korean market Greenland. Nothing fancy, take-out only. The sushi rolls are big, and the bowls even more so. I recommend the salmon bowl if you just want salmon sashimi over rice. You get a lot of salmon. If I want something lighter, I get the hwedupbap bowl, which is essentially a sashimi salad. It comes with a side of white rice, gochuchang sauce, and miso soup. For rolls, I like the Dragon Roll and Rainbow Roll. This is the perfect place to pick up lunch or dinner on your way home. Call ahead to place your order, and food is ready in 10-15min. Cash/credit card accepted. The place is run by a very friendly Korean couple. I just wish they were open later (they close at 7:30pm).“

“Really wish we came here sooner, we've had so much bad food in Burbank/Glendale, I think that's made us very jaded... But this place is AMAZING. 10/10 FRIENDLY SERVICE SUPER YUMMY BASIC FOOD. They're not going all out making complicated dishes, they just make the basics extremely well for a solid price!!!“

“THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!!AVACADO TERIYAKI BURGER WAS PHENOMENAL!!!! Every bite of burger had avocado not like other places where they put 2 pieces on it. It was loaded. If you drive past here daily like I used to, do yourself a favor and stop in. Your tastebuds will thank you!!!!“

“I come to Ying Hana at least 3 times a month, one of my favorite things to eat. That being said, the food is just decent. I always order the chicken hibachi plate. You get a huge togo box worth of food for a very good price. Completely worth it. The vegetables served are fresh and cooked just how I like them. The chicken is ok. At times dry, depending on the amount of sauce used. The rice is grainy, while I prefer sticky... but the VALUE IS GREAT. I can overlook these issues because I am full and it cost about half as much as other hibachi places. Thank you Ying Hana for being there when I am hungry, you are truly a goto place.“

“This is my first time ordering from them It is a Japanese/ Asian fusion restaurant: I really enjoyed their steamed Gyozas and their Shrimp Shumais! The spaghetti salad was very fresh too And I love their ramen soup: Chashu Ramen: it was very light but yet full of delicious fishcakes boiled eggs and vegetables I will order again from them“

“This is my favorite poke spot in the valley. Nothing fancy but it’s great for a quick bite or a quick lunch with one other friend. The prices are reasonable and the seafood is always fresh. The staff is knowledgeable and if you are not sure what you want to get, they can help you out with recommendations. I recommend getting the #5 sauce on your poke bowl it is amazing!“
