44 Best Japanese Restaurants near Agoura Hills

“Good quality sushi, attentive and accommodating staff.“

“I’ve been to this restaurant many times, and every single visit has been amazing. They truly have some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. The California Roll is especially delicious, fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made every time. The atmosphere is wonderful, very welcoming and comfortable, and the servers always have such a great attitude and provide excellent service. I 100% recommend this place to anyone who loves sushi. You won’t be disappointed!“

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

“I went to Sushi Planet a few weeks ago for the first time. I had a great experience. The sushi is delicious and uses fresh, high quality ingredients. They have many different options and included many specials. The staff is friendly and attentive, they made the experience very pleasant. They even did a birthday celebration for my wife and we really appreciated that. If I am in the area and craving sushi I will definitely go back to the Sushi Planet.“

“Stumbled in for lunch not knowing what to expect and was immediately impressed. A lovely scent of incense and a warm, welcoming greeting set the tone right away. The ambience and decor were on point, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. The food was excellent—creative, beautifully presented, and the flavors absolutely hit. Highly recommend, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit.“

“If you have an avocado allergy, Tokyo Sushi is a tough spot. 46 of their 50 rolls include avocado!

But that's my problem, not theirs. We went for the chef's choice sushi sampler and the bulgogi plate. While the cuts on the sushi weren't super precise, and our entrees came out 10 minutes apart (I feel like that's not uncommon when ordering sushi and hot food), and our tea pot was kind of rusty... It's still probably one of the better sushi spots in Simi Valley. I haven't tried them all, but I've tried quite a few.

The building helps; it's this low-ceiling, square room decked out with wood, surrounding a large sushi bar. And the servers were all very friendly. Clearly there are a lot of regulars here.

Tokyo Sushi is not perfect, but it's very good, and I'll definitely keep it in mind when I want sushi!“

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

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

“Ordered the Garlic Ramen with pork (red bowl) and gf got the Shrimp Ramen. Both were very delicious! I give them both 8 out of 10. (I've been to quite a few ramen places this past month so I am a little critical) If you want Ramen definitely check out and I'm very grateful that there's finally a Ramen place in Simi!“

“Malibu Sushi is a really solid spot if you love fresh sushi. 🍣 The fish tastes clean and flavorful, and the rolls are made with care. The menu has a good mix of classic rolls and some unique options if you’re feeling adventurous.

The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant has a chill, casual vibe—perfect for a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner. Portions are decent, and the prices are fair for the quality. Definitely a place I’d come back to when I’m craving sushi!“

“I’d give this restaurant 10 stars if I could—it has the best sushi in town. The quality is unmatched, with fresh seasonal fish and an amazing omakase experience. The ambiance, service, and caring owner make it even better. Truly a hidden gem!“

“Came here during the grand reopening and was very happy with the food and service!
Love the cucumber salad with spicy garlic crisp on the side
My favorite broth to get is the Kombu with broth booster and a little of the chili paste that they have.
Also gotta have the salmon sashimi that was really good as well.
10/10!!!“

“Food and service were incredible!! First time here and in Siem reap and it didn’t disappoint. We were the last customers and they were so sweet and attentive and the presentation was amazing. I wish I didn’t eat prior to this because I didn’t get a chance to try all the delicious dishes but my bougie significant other loved it and he’s super choosy when it comes to his sushi. We met the chef and such a sweet and humble person. The staff alone are all amazing. Highly recommended and it’s worth every penny!!! Can’t wait when I’m back in Siem Reap so I can stop by. Thank you for your amazing service 💕“

“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.“

“Hikari is a neighborhood sushi bar with very fresh fish and fair prices. The albacore sashimi melted in my mouth, and the spicy tuna crispy rice was one of the best I’ve had. Service is quick and friendly, and the chef always greets you. It’s not flashy, but the food is better than many places in LA. Great for a chill weekday sushi dinner“

“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.“

“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.“

“They serve up the best savory chicken bowl ever. It is not an overly syrup sweet sauce but savory and soooo good. the veggies are warm and soft. if you want crunchy and sweet, go elsewhere. The flavor here is unique and delicious and they have never changed in like at least 26 years since I started going. Love it. Great for to go or dine in. 🥰“

“Love the food here they never disappoint me“

“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 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.“

“Healthy delicious Japanese food provided in a faster process with greatly decreasing quality. Good value.“

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

“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.“

“Fresh and delicious. Best sushi in town.“

“Authentic Japanese experience available at 2 PM for small talk, private consideration of important life decisions, or enjoying the wait for someone.

A shocking, unexpected entrance into an impressive, realistic somewhat formal Japanese environment.

Given the observation and experience above, a small note inside the establishment reminds patrons that hot dogs are not served here!“

“The food and selections were really yummy. We walked here for dinner quite a ways so I was so hungry I forgot to take photographs of the food, but the portions were excellent. The best part about this place is the staff. There were three people working and they were incredibly friendly, but not phony friendly.“

“I’ve been coming to Cho Cho Son for a long time now and I don’t know why it has taken me this long to leave a review. The food is great, service is good, pricing is reasonable, and it’s always consistent and that earns them at five star for me. They have always treated me well. I would even argue it is better than Benihanas. I highly recommend Cho Cho Son.“

“Go Fish & Sushi has officially become our go-to spot. We’ve made it a tradition to eat here pretty much every Friday, and even when we can't stay, their takeout is just as high-quality and fresh.

Why We Love It:

The Chef’s Specials: We’ve ordered almost every special roll on the menu at this point, and they are consistently delicious. You can tell the fish is fresh and the combinations are well-thought-out.

Generous Portions: Unlike many sushi spots that overcharge for tiny bites, the portions here are very satisfying. You definitely get your money's worth.

Kid-Approved: Our kids absolutely love the Salmon Teriyaki. It’s their favorite spot to go get dinner after gymnastics.

Atmosphere: It is incredibly family-friendly. The staff always makes us feel welcome, which makes dining out with the whole crew much less stressful.

If you’re looking for a reliable, tasty, and welcoming sushi spot, this is it. We’ll see you guys next Friday!“

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

“Sea Butter in Westlake Village is hands down my favorite sushi spot in the area! The sushi is always incredibly fresh, and the staff is so friendly and welcoming. My absolute favorite is the Emma sushi—it just melts in your mouth. The spicy tuna crispy rice is also amazing. I love coming here with my family and always have a great experience. If you’re looking for top-quality sushi and great service, this is the place to go!“

““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!” 🤗😍“

“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!“

“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.“

“👍👍👍👍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍“

“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.“

“recently tried the Teriyaki Madness regular chicken with noodles, and overall it was a solid meal. The portion size was generous, the chicken tasted fresh and had a nice grilled flavor, and the teriyaki sauce was rich and slightly sweet without being overpowering. The noodles were soft and flavorful, soaking up the sauce well, though I think they could have used a bit more seasoning or vegetables for balance.“

“Great food and great people“

“Absolutely loved this place! The sushi was amazing. So fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. I also love that it’s all-you-can-eat, so you can try a bit of everything without holding back. The service was just as great as the food. Everyone was super friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this spot if you’re craving delicious sushi and a great atmosphere!“

“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.“

“Love the food fresh and yummy ❤️“

“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.“
