45 Best Japanese Restaurants near Agoura Hills

“Good quality sushi, attentive and accommodating staff.“

“This has been our local secret for some time now, we usually go during quieter times and the food is always terrific, the service prompt and amazing. Tonight we went during peak dinner time and… the food was terrific, the service prompt and amazing! This is a small local business that deserves our continued patronage please give them a try ( added extra their menu extends beyond sushi - udon, ramen, Korean dishes)“

“Staff was very friendly and attentive. Nice size portions. Food was good but not the best. Tempura was a bit greasy, miso soup salty and dressing on Bento box was not the traditional type, it tasted like store bought dressing. Yellowtail was good but didn’t like the sweeter sauce they put under it. Again it wasn’t bad but I don’t think I’ll return.“

“Healthy selections and no nonsense. I will be back soon.“

“Fresh and delicious. Best sushi in town.“

“Absolutely fantastic experience! The food was fresh, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious. Every dish was full of flavor and clearly made with high-quality ingredients.

The service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and welcoming without ever feeling intrusive. The ambiance was equally impressive, with a comfortable, relaxing atmosphere that made the entire meal even more enjoyable.

If you’re looking for excellent sushi, great service, and a wonderful dining experience, I highly recommend this restaurant. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Saturday afternoon (yes, I know, ramen in a heatwave no judgment please 😂). I’m new to the area, so I asked Claude to recommend a spot, and it pointed me here.

Walked in and used their convenient self-checkout to place a to go order spicy beef ramen for myself. I was greeted by the sweet and amazing Eric, and honestly, I don’t think I waited more than 5 minutes for my food. Beyond impressed with the speed.

The packaging was on point, and the ramen itself was so flavorful. I could’ve gone spicier (I can handle the heat!), but that’s a me thing, not a them thing.

Will definitely be back. Highly recommend if you’re in Simi Valley and craving real ramen.“

“Izakaya has some of the best quality fish in Simi Valley. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Malibu Sushi offers fresh, well-prepared sushi in a relaxed, coastal setting. The fish is high quality, the rolls are creative yet balanced, and the presentation is clean. Friendly service and a laid-back vibe make it a great spot for a casual lunch or dinner after a day at the beach.“

“Easily the BEST Sushi in SoCal. Been to many high and low, NOTHING compares to this. Incredible rolls, perfect fusion of sauces and pairings/toppings, pricey yes, but superior in every way. Much better comfort and variety than other version waaay down the road on Ventura Blvd. Their mushroom soup is to die for, and they have not only a soy sauce but a YUZU bottle on the table!“

“Absolutely fantastic sushi experience! The food was incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and everything we ordered was delicious. The quality of the fish really stood out, and the menu had a great variety of creative rolls and classic favorites.

The service was excellent, friendly, attentive, and welcoming without being overbearing. The atmosphere was also great for both a casual dinner and a nice night out.

The owner came to our table and was incredibly personable and fantastic. Their warm hospitality made the experience even more enjoyable.

One of the best sushi spots in all of Conejo Valley and Ventura County. We’ll definitely be back!“

“I literally just came out of Fitness 19 and decided to finally try Kazuya, and I am honestly blown away. We usually go to Minato or other sushi places in Thousand Oaks, so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but this place was fantastic.
The fish was so fresh, the variety was amazing, and the rolls were really interesting and different. They also have a great happy hour, the prices are very reasonable, and the customer service was excellent.
I’m so glad I decided to give this place a try. Definitely one of those hidden gems right here in Moorpark, and we will absolutely be coming back!“

“Love the food here they never disappoint me“

“Incredible food, great service in a very nice atmosphere. Unassuming, but well crafted with care right in front of you. Very small restaurant with only 7 seats, and reservations are required since he is booked months in advance. Already have my next reservation on the books!“

“Thank you so much Alex for squeezing us in after the restaurant was bought out tonight. As business owners in hospitality and customer service, we truly appreciate your kindness and effort to go above and beyond from beginning to end. You’re one of a kind and the experience was better than we have had in the 6+ years of being loyal customers. Thank you so much.“

“We will not return. SOME staff is just too volatile & moody & rude. We have been going here often. The last straw was last Monday at 4:30 pm when the rude Korean waitress Sylvia (?) refused to seat us in the closest booths ( "No those are for employees "🤔) and then refused us another booth because we were only two people. Mind you we've sat at every booth many times every time because of our back issues. Even though I have a cane, she often makes us wait when the place is clearly dead. The only pleasant staff is Manny, Vanessa & the nice female Hispanic bus person. But Sylvia & the very gruff Chinese woman act like they are doing you a huge favor. I have overlooked their rudeness before, but this was it for us. Perhaps she doesn't like people line me with canes. We will go to Kyoto instead or Hai Sushi we do not need to be treated rudely.“

“TUESDAY FOOD REVIEW...HAI SUSHI (again)...3/5/24! Today we went back to Hai Sushi, located at 1101 E Los Angeles Ave., in Simi Valley, for lunch. We have eaten there many times over the years, as their food is always DELICIOUS!!! I had their Miso Soup, Spring Greens Salad, 911 Roll, Lobster Roll, Shrimp Tempura, Fresh Water Eel, Spicy Scallop Hand Roll, Garlic Edamame, Yellowtail Sushi, and Salmon Sushi. And it was as it always is, fresh and delicious!!!! Definitely Simi Valley's best sushi restaurant!!!“

“Always visit there when I'm back in Simi“

“Just had the most fabulous meal here. The waiter Gerry, the sushi chefs Jerry and Peter made the most enjoyable experience someone could have. The rolls and sashimi are so fresh just like butter. It’s even better than Sugarfish!! The manager Eddie even took the time to stop at our table and greet us. New favorite spot !!“

“I’m so glad I found this place. Yes it is the BEST sushi in Conejo Valley. The chef knows his fish. We got most of the specials on the board which were mostly from Japan. I will say that it was expensive but so worth it. Maybe stick to the nigiri on the menu and it won’t cost so much. But I’m so glad I do not have to drive into LA for great sushi. I’m a fan.“

“Wanted to try something new in the area and stumbled upon this place for dinner. Overall it was great as there was a huge menu on the wall and the place was well decorated with lanterns with sakura trees. It’s a place where you would come to for something quick. I dined-in since traveling with a bowl of hot udon isn’t ideal. Service was great!

I ordered the Udon with Tempura Shrimp and asked the person at the cashier what they recommend as an appetizer and he stated that the Potstickers were a usual go-to which is what I got. The price for the udon was fairly priced, but maybe not for the potstickers. However, I do understand the economy so it’s reasonable, I guess…

The udon noodles were nicely textured and had 2 pieces of narutomaki (maybe not enough in my opinion). Wasn’t sure what the other things in the udon was but it melted quick. The tempura shrimp are similar to the ones I get at Costco. I believe I was 75% full after eating that complete meal which is a good percentage.“

“Salmon always cooked like fine-dining! Love their coleslaw. Perfect meal for me with brown rice. No one does it better in that price range.“

“Very tasty food. A bit pricey, but worth it.“

“ACTUAL RATING: 4.5
Our usual place was closed. So we decided to give Go Fish a try. Definitely not disappointed! Fish was fresh and tasty. Rolls were creative and delicious. Portions weren’t skimpy. The reason for the half star deduction: it is a bit pricey. That said, we’ll definitely be back.“

“Nobu Malibu never disappoints. The food is always exceptional, the service is consistently welcoming, and you can’t beat the oceanfront views — it’s one of the most iconic dining experiences in Malibu. I often bring real estate clients and friends here because it perfectly reflects the luxury coastal lifestyle people fall in love with. Whether it’s a relaxed lunch or a client dinner, the atmosphere and attention to detail make every visit memorable. Definitely one of my Malibu favorites.“

“A plethora of sushi places in this area of town. So I went to the one that had the slightly highest rating. Man, did this nor disappoint! 5 star experience. Staff was welcoming and all smiles. Sushi chefs were laughing and chatting with guests as they went about their master craft. Food presentation was A+ and freshness and taste were right on point. Perfectly paced service as well. While I was there what must have been the owners' family were eating and laughing. Just a general wonderful vibe. Perfect addition to my weekend away.“

“this was my first time eating here and I was incredibly impressed. the sushi is very fresh and the rolls are fantastic! the service was also excellent! Will definitely be back.“

“The sushi is good, the beer and wine selection are not, though the wine that *is* offered is high quality. Service was a bit slow this time around (sat at the sushi bar). The prices are ok, not notably inexpensive, but again, the sushi is decent.“

“Not a fan… Yellow tail was garbage… I miss Edo Japan“

“When Pierre Chapet gets involved with a Restaurant you know your getting the freshest sushi 🍣 and the best services out there! Abraham Essinger, LCT Bend, Oregon“

“Great food and great people“

“Great little sushi spot in Westlake Village. The fish was fresh and the hand rolls and pressed sushi were standout, especially the salmon avocado. The service was excellent: attentive, friendly, and happy to help with the menu. It's a cozy space and seating is limited, so I'd recommend a reservation at peak times. It's a bit pricey, but the quality and hospitality make it worth it. We'll be back!“

““Oh My Venue is an absolute gem for sushi lovers!

The fish is incredibly fresh, the presentation is beautiful, and every bite is full of flavor.

The staff are welcoming and attentive, and the atmosphere is cozy yet modern. Whether you’re a sushi connoisseur or just trying it out, this place won’t disappoint. 🥰🍨🥃🍷

Highly recommended!” 🤗😍“

“I went last night for dinner. My friend and I were the last ones and had our own tappan table. I don’t remember the chefs name but he was extremely good! Very talented great personality but most of all the food he made was absolutely incredible!! We had the shrimp and the filet mignon And I have never ever ever tasted them so good before there I’ve been going to Cho Cho San since they first opened And they are always good yes but This was way better than I’ve ever had. This cook is amazing. I wish I could remember his name. He was amazing.!!“

“Great Sushi Bar staring Nhina. He creates some amazing dishes. Love this place!“

“Our bowls had the perfect amount of protein, vegetables, rice, and sauce for the size selected. We had a much better experience compared to other chains serving similar food, and we'll return due to the superior portions, flavor, freshness, and quality!“

“Love the food fresh and yummy ❤️“

“Waba grill is one of those places where you are bound to be happy with a rice plate.My favorite go to is the half chicken and half beef plate. Both meats are too good to choose from.They also have a new value menu which makes some of the plates a bit more affordable. You are bound to spend about $10+ but it is worth it.Make sure to get extra waba sauce on the side as you may need it.“

“Sarku is inside The Oaks Mall food court. The outdoor seating is nice. The food always comes out piping hot. I go here for a quick balanced inexpensive meal. My go to is the small chicken teriyaki meal in the picture. It’s $6.99 the spring roll is about $1.49.“

“Our number 1 date night spot! Im a big man that likes quality fish and this place has never disappointed me! The staff is extremely kind and are soooo nice and accommodating too our kids. Im extremely happy they still do all you can eat as many places have given it up! I would Definitely give them a try if you want a new sushi spot!“

“The food here is great because it taste fresh. The service is great. The owners are pleasant but not overly engaging. They are very prompt to pick up dirty dishes and refill drinks. The Tepan chefs are talented and funny! We go here often and the leftovers are fantastic.“

“This is a great spot for casual dining and dates. The food is always fresh. I recommend the Spicy Pork Bulgogi Dinner, Baked Green Mussels, and Freshwater Eel sushi.“

“Tomodachi is outstanding. The sushi is always fresh and delicious, and the quality is on another level. The sushi chef makes incredible suggestions and every recommendation has been spot on. You can tell how much pride they take in their work with every plate that comes out. If you can, sit at the sushi bar—it makes the experience even better watching the chef create everything right in front of you. This has quickly become one of my favorite sushi spots, and I can’t wait to come back.“
