19 Best Japanese Restaurants near Camarillo

“I can’t speak highly enough. Eat a red dragon roll or any roll from here and tell me it’s not the best sushi you’ve ever had. You don’t need soy sauce, eel sauce, the flavors in the prep and nobody does it better. They could slap me in the face every time I ordered and I’d still come back, say thank you and give this place 5 stars. What an absolute game changer.“

“Very nice date I had w my husband. We both enjoyed and loved it here, we both said this will be our to go place for sushi. You get soup and a salad to start with I believe that's part of the service because we didn't order it lol so u do get what you pay for. Good portions and a very good place to go to. Nice and quiet just how we like it for a dinner date so we are able to talk and have conversations but not to quiet as well.“

“All our plates were delicious, very impressed.“

“A friend recommended this place and we came here for lunch on a Tuesday and there were only a few other patrons as it was quite early. We were greeting by everyone and seated promptly. We got our water right away and was surprised with the complimentary appetizer of fried tofu with dressing which was piping hot but crunchy and delicious.

Our friend recommended the lunch combo and there were so many items to choose from! Mix and match 2 items for $18 or 3 items for $20, no brainer to go with 3. I ended up getting chicken katsu, mixed tempura and baby lobster roll. Before our food arrived, we were served with a bowl of hot miso soup. And when our food did arrive which took about 5-10mins, we were all blown away by the portion size.

The bento also came with 2 gyoza and small salad. Every item tasted yummy and I thoroughly enjoyed everything but struggled to finish the entire plate as there were just so much food that we had to get to-go boxes.

More people trickled in toward peak lunch hour, I'm just glad we got there early to avoid the crowd. This place is a keeper and we are already making plans to come back!“

“4 of us came here for lunch to celebrate our coworker's birthday. Surprised to find we were the only ones there. Most of us opted for 3 item combo - the soup was ok, tofu tasted a bit weird, salad was good, the sushi I got were delicious and filling, the tempura was tasty too albeit greasy. Service was minimal and we were the only ones there, we had to ring the bell a couple of times for service. The place itself is outdated and could use some sprucing up. The table felt sticky and bench didn't have much support for the backside“

“I've been driving by that Sushi Planet sign on the 101 as long as I can remember... At least 26 years, and I've never stopped in, until now!

After a long trash weekend my wife and I stopped by on a Sunday for a good meal and a rise in spirits and Sushi Planet delivered.

The space is cozy and appropriately dim, with cool trimmings like dark painted wood and decor that give it a Japanese architecural vibe insie. A lot of the staff was speaking Japanese to each other too I believe. There was moderate volume kpop and jpop music playing in the fairly busy dining room for a late lunch or early dinner. The staff was perfectly friendly and we got a comfy table, got drinks, and started our big order.

I got a new special roll, the golden roll I believe, yellowtail Nigiri, sea scallop Nigiri, a California roll order and for dessert some seaseme chicken. The special roll was delicious, hearty, creamy, rich, and warm with a great contrast of textures. The Nigiri was above average with the yellow tail pierces being much larger than I usually get at other places but still a great texture, flavor, and odor. The sea scallop was savory, slightly salty, and so soft and creamy mixed with the Kewpie. The California roll was very solid and nothing special. The seaseme chicken was hot, crunchy, and not dry or over fried and went great with the sort of honey-mustardy spicy mayo seaseme sauce.

All this with our drinks (3 orders of yellowtail Nigiri augmented cost) came out a little under $100 which is fairly normal and in the mid cost range of sushi spots were we're from. The quality of food and service was lovely and if we're ever passing through again hungry for good sushi we'll be back!“

“Fresh Oysters are the best! Young staff is on point! Sapporo beer is very very cold!!“

“I've been going to this place since I was attending Rio Mesa! I have since moved to Vancouver, WA and there are teriyaki places EVERYWHERE. None compare, still. Sauce is a perfect texture, veggies are always perfectly steamed, portions are amazing. I was so glad to see that this place survived Covid.“

“Best udon noodles in town!

We’ve been going here for years and I always get the cold udon gomuku. It comes with lettuce, shrimp tempura, julienne cucumbers, fish cake, marinated mushrooms, seaweed, and the yummiest sauce. Their fried chicken and calamari are good too. We’ve also had the udon soup and rice bowl combos. Haven’t tried the bento boxed or sushi. Really, we just come here for the udon fix. The waitstaff are always friendly with great service. It’s a small joint in a strip mall but it’s been around forever and is doing something right!“

“Small & family owned. The food tastes great and the prices are very reasonable. The owners are there 6 days out of the week from opening to closing. Do not go there expecting a 5-star fine dining experience, but if you want to support a hard working small mom-and-pop owned restaurant with great quality foods and welcoming atmosphere, it's totally worth a try!“

“We always order the Joey Vegas, Lion King, Drunken Tiger and Muy Chingon when we want rolls and the baked green mussels or spicy edamame for appetizers...and of course an ice cold Kirin light, yum!!“

“Sumo sushi is one of our favorite places to go for dinner. We go for dates and we take our kids. The food is exceptional and the staff is so friendly and welcoming. The kids have spilled drinks and the staff is never bothered and so sweet about helping us clean it up. Danny (one of the sushi chefs) is personable and interactive!
They are constantly busy which just shows how popular they are with so many people- everyone wants to eat there!!!“

“This was my first time trying this place even though I lived in Santa paula for 3 or 4 years. The food looked and smelled amazing and tasted even better. We had a pretty big order and every single item came out so so good. I would recommend over and over!! 100/10!!“

“I was in a mood for some rolls and saw that this place was the closest to where I live and it had positive reviews. I ordered a couple of rolls and they were delicious. It also helped that the order arrived at a quick pace.

This is most likely will be my new sushi/roll place to dine“

“Great local sushi place. Sushi prices were average and the food and presentation was above average. I have eaten sushi at almost the majority of places in Thousand oaks area (not to mention in every city I visit) and this is a top notch place even though its a small place. The service is awesome, everyone pitched in and were timely and appropriate with their service. Sushi chefs were friendly and helpful. Will make this my go to from now on“

“take out, covid19 style. thanks BJ. cheers.“

“Moved to Vegas 25 years ago. Miss 3 things about Oxnard - Family, the beach and Otani’s. Been fortunate to eat in some of the best restaurants in the U.S. I would choose Otani’s Fried Teriyaki Snapper with double rice over any other meal that’s out there. Otani’s was a staple for me growing up and had the fortune of knowing the family. Crave it constantly and go there every day whenever I make it back to town.“

“I'm truly grateful to have finally found something that worked. For years, I believed like everyone else that herpes had no real cure. After trying so many things with no results, I came across "Dr MOMOH" and everything changed. It's a relief to feel normal again after all this time.💃💃“

“Average sushi but I definitely will continue to go there as an option. The “ex-girlfriend roll” is great!! I do take out though, they charge automatic gratuity for dine in which infuriates me! And the dine in service isn’t very good.“
