45 Best Japanese Restaurants near Calabasas

“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.“

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

“Love the food fresh and yummy ❤️“

“Masa-san serves chef's choice, and the food is fresh and delicious. Eating here is an extremely delightful experience. The sweet shrimp with eggs is one of my favorites. Always finish your meal with at least 1 (maybe 2 or ...) of his blue crab rolls. The crab is carefully hand-pulled, the rice is warm, and the seaweed is crisp. You won't find that combination of quality and easy dining experience anywhere else in the Valley. Please try it!“

“Everything is delicious, made with love❤️ Clean, elegant, and delicious🤩😋 Friendly, helpful staff🌹“

“Hole in the wall teriyaki place. You order at the counter, you pick up your food, you clean up your own table after eating. Easy free parking lot or street parking. They have a lunch special for $11.95 that includes chicken and rice with salad. They also have specials A, B, C and D that are around the $15 to $20 price range. I had the special C that had white rice, a big piece of chicken katsu, two pieces of chicken teriyaki, salad, two small onion rings and two dumplings for about $15.95. Not a bad value. You get a teriyaki sauce and hot sauce on the side. Their teriyaki sauce is very good here! The serving is very generous. I was not about to finish it in one sitting.“

“If you're reading reviews wondering if you should try this place. Waste no more time just go ahead and order, you won’t regret it.

I’ve been eating at Roll Roll since around 2018. They never miss. At least not in my experience. Originally my wife and I found this place on yelp because it already had good reviews and amazing prices. We usually order a Party Tray for special occasions and it’s become a favourite tradition of ours, however we also like dining in because the employees have always been incredibly kind and accommodating Even now in 2026, when everything has gotten so expensive, they still provide good quality food and better quality service for a good price. You can’t ask for more honestly.“

“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!“

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

“I love eating here! The service is always so awesome. I love that it's tucked away, and every time I've brought someone to eat here they don't expect that the restaurant is here. As for the food, it's DELICIOUS! My son is picky, and even he couldn't deny how good the food is. The ramen is amazing, it's so good and the portions are hearty. I usually end up getting a ramen combo with a chashu bowl. Now, I get to eat there AND have delicious leftovers. My family have tried other ramen places around and we keep coming back to Futaba because it's number one in our eyes. The flavor is always on point. Definitely recommend.“

“Love Jo&Go Sushi. They saved me when we first moved to LA and while the house was being remodeled.

4 years later... it's still as good as first discovered. It's a neighborhood gem inside the Korean Greenland Mrkt, which btw, is also awesome.

Must try is the salmon bowl, the salmon slices are so tender and buttery... they give you a crazy amount of salmon over the rice and seriously it's enough to have a 2nd meal! One note about the bowl... I'm not a fan of drenching really good cooked rice with sauce, so I always order without the sauce. The rice is not sushi rice which makes it even more delicious... the rice is always perfectly cooked. You get a miso soup and a cute little container of pickled radish (delish). I would love to know where they source the fish... it's like being in Japan, it's so fresh.

I'll be catering with them soon and happy to update the review post order.

The kind woman who takes the order is so sweet and cute, always smiling...says hi and bye all the time.

If you're in the area, definitely give it a try for takeaway.“

“Brothers Sushi is a must. Make a reservation and you can’t go wrong with anything you order.“

“I found out about hungry ninja on door dash a few months ago and have been hooked ever since. Portions are great, food is made with love and tastes amazing, and most of all the customer service is great. If you are in the chatsworth area and looking for good teriyaki this is the place I would go to!“

“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!“

“OMG. I cannot believe I only went there last week after going to so many other places over the last 25 years
This place is a cut above the test!!
Fresh fresh fresh. And delicious
It’s at the top of my list. There are only a few other for quality like this !!!!“

“Been coming here for decades still my favorite.“

“Who thought that classic American fare and Japanese cuisine could mesh so well??!!“

“This chain is amazing! Food is always super fresh and serving is good size there are a lot of options especially great for lunch those who want to eat light or be full. If you are vegan or pescatarian this place is great for you too We have options for everybody.“

“The food and service was excellent.“

“I would give this restaurant 10 stars if I could. Seriously the best fish in town. No other place in our Conejo community even compares. Not too mention great ambiance, great service, and a wonderful hands on owner, Binh, who genuinely cares about your full satisfied experience. But we are all here for the sushi and again nothing else comes close to comparing in terms of quality. They are switching up what fish is in based on what's in season. If you want the full experience, try the omakase. Best in town! Thankful for this gem.“

“Good quality sushi, attentive and accommodating staff.“

“Had a wonderful meal. The chef was awesome and interactive“

“Excellent food 🥘! Always hot and fresh. A treat every time.“

“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.“

“Excelente...muy buena atención y la comida muy buena, lo recomiendo...“

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious, juicy and filling. The sushi had this fresh glossy look and texture. It was not dry. The green tea came in a large mug. Not necessarily cheap, but not overpriced. Will definitely be back. (3 rolls, 2 green tea, and seaweed salad was $60)“

“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“

“I picked up the miso to hold me over till dinner and the soup is great! I think the awesome service is what stands out to me the most, though. Thank you chefs! I’ll be back to try the steak!“

“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.“

“Well established & maintained restaurant. Very clean & with convenient seating/dine-in area (up to 16-18 guests by tables & chairs combined). Great quality food, easy & professional service, a great option for lunch, dinner, or brunch options if looking for healthy appetizers or entrees. Recommended to all who look for affordable & available restaurant options as this being of my top 3.

Vegetarian options: Vast, diverse, & clearly indicated by options. If asking questions they restaurant workers can answer or help with accommodations.

Parking: Over 20-40 total spots for the lot

Kid-friendliness: Convenient pricing for portion sizes with 2 kids meal types for those ages 12 and under.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible level entrance, signaling the associates or workers will allow the persons with wheelchairs to receive assistance, along with easy access to leveled tables.“

“Ive been coming here for 30 years, since I was a kid. I moved away from the area and havent been back in over ten years, but it was one of the gems I was looking forward to visiting, if it was still standing. To my absolute delight, the Teriyaki Masudaya is still standing! I had the pleasure of stopping by last week to eat my favorite there, their house plate with beef, chicken, and prawn alongside a salad with their signature dressing.. and I was so happy to find that the recipes have been passed down from the original owners, tastes just as good as I remember. Always a lovely management/staff as well. Thank you TM for still standing when so many others have fallen. You are a symbol of my childhood and I plan to keep coming back. 😊❤️“

“Awesome !!“

“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. 🥰“

“***EXPERIENCE 1*** (Positive) 09/22/25

This restaurant has the layout, and feel of Japanese restaurants from days gone by. However, at the same time, it's very modern and stylish.

I entered with my Mom, and we were immediately greeted and seated. Our server was very friendly and had a great personality. It turns out he was very knowledgeable as well. I ordered the Salmon Shioyaki Entree, and Mom ordered the Miso Marinated Black Cod Entree. The Entrees come with Soup & Salad. The salad was subtly flavorful. With the greens, vegetables, crunchy topping, and dressing combining to create a delicious starting salad. The Miso Soup was very flavorful, and well balanced. They were both wonderful ways to start a meal. My Salmon Shioyaki was incredible. The Shio (Salt), enhances the natural flavor of the Salmon, and helps in browning, and creating crispy tasty salmon skin. The flesh was firm, yet tender and flaky. Just a squeeze of lemon, and it was perfection exemplified. The accompaniments, and rice, along with the delicious mixed Vegetables made it a complete meal. I had a taste of the Miso Black Cod. The glazed Miso flavor was undeniable, as the Black Cod melted in my mouth, ending in deliciousness.

A Japanese meal embodies that the sum of all parts, equals the whole. The Entrees here are examples of that philosophy.

The prices here are well worth it, considering what you get. The whole staff here is very friendly. Our server helped make our dining experience fantastic. We hope to see him again. We will be back,“

“This is a great place to get a boba tea and a quick bite to eat. I'll definitely be back to check out more! Nice friendly staff. Check it out!“

“My sister goes to this place for take out and the food was amazing.I will bring my family here as well.“

“***EXPERIENCE 1*** (Positive) 08/26/25

On this occasion, the man working the counter had a very pleasant demeanor. I ordered the Hamburger Cutlet, and my Mom got the Pork Cutlet. You get a complete meal. Both cutlets came with a side of shredded cabbage, and sides of Miso Soup, Takuan, Rice, and a dipping/topping sauce. The presentation was very nice, the cutlets were placed on grill plates so they don't sit in grease which is great. I tasted some of the Pork Cutlet and it was crunchy, tender, and juicy. My Hamburger Cutlet was the same, and it was pure meat patty, no fillers here. Overall, dining here is a great value. You get restaurant quality food at a reasonable price. And, customer service was excellent. The gentleman working the counter really was extremely nice and was a big factor in our positive dining experience.“

“Love the food here they never disappoint me“

“food was fresh . sushi chefs good. nice variety.“

“I have been to just about every teriyaki chicken bowl place from here to Portland and this is by far the best. If you've ever seen the anime food wars every bite is like the scenes when one of the judges takes a bite of the dish and they nut so hard there clothes explode off of them. Also they price is insane for how good it is. I love this place and make sure to get it as much as possible whenever I'm in the la area“

“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 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.“

“Sushi&Wasabi is a quick fix for our Japanese food craving. It’s incredibly convenient, and consistently satisfying. I must add that the stuff is very warm and helpful.

Our family isn’t big on raw fish, so we get sushi like crunch roll and avocado roll. Rice is still warm with all other ingredients done right.
The bento box is a standout: a tasty, full-filling variety of food that hits all the right notes and keeps everyone happy. To top it off, we were treated to the complimentary matcha ice cream for dining in. It is rich, smooth, just delightful.And for the adults, warm sake on a cold day is the perfect touch. Mild, comforting, and best enjoyed responsibly.

This place is a reliable local gem we look forward to returning to.“
