“Food is excellent, purchase every time I’m in the mall but customer service is crap.. standing in line waiting to order, only person there, older male walks up and ask for refill for jumbo cup but has instructions on how to fill it up although he told young lady I came her first and to help me, she ignored him and helped him, then he gave her another cup , she looked at me and smile and continued to help him. So I walked away and and had Massis Kabob instead”

“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!”

“I’m so gobsmacked at how amazing this food is that I’m writing a review while I’m still here. We had 5 nigiri sushi rolls, the crispy spicy tuna appetizer, and the wagyu sliders. It was the most incredible meal I’ve ever had. You must come here - the server we had (Umida) was insanely amazing and super helpful - she really elevated the experience and made sure we didn’t order too much food!”

“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 there’s one thing I love, it’s teriyaki plus. This restaurant is so inconspicuous and a sleeper hit of the area. It’s charming and the food is well priced and so flavorful. We got the katsu bowl, the gyoza and chicken kabobs. All perfect. I can’t quite explain why this place is so cute and charming but as soon as you step inside you can feel that you’re walking in to your new favorite restaurant.”

“Awesome little hole in the wall, teriyaki joint. Plates come with bed of rice, protein w/ teriyaki sauce, cabbage salad w/ dressing, and an assortment of fried vegetable tempura. I've had the chicken teriyaki, and beef bulgogi plates so far and it reminds me of teriyaki spots in Seattle. Great bang for your buck with awesome flavors. Would def recommend if your near Balboa & Devonshire. Call ahead for take out. If you plan on dining in it can be a bit crowded due to small seating area.”

“Took a few high end clients to Yume - and couldn't have chosen better. The level of service, the fresh delicious food and the overall feel of dining here is beyond 5 stars! One of our clients doesn't eat sushi and was stuffed by the time we finished because of all the options to non-sushi eaters. Finally - the chocolate crepe (see finished plate) - don't pass it up! Took left overs home - wouldn't dare leave anything behind :)”

“Fresh, healthy food w generous portions. I had the hana salad w chicken and the iced matcha cloud latte. The salad was fresh and their sauce/condiment bar made it extra tasty. The matcha was super yummy, on par or better with any specialty coffee/tea place. The Okinawa sugar made it elevated, though I ordered it less sweet. Will def be back!”

“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.”

“One of the best sushi places I’ve ever tried! 🍣 Every bite is an absolute explosion of flavor. The fish is incredibly fresh and delicate, the ingredients are perfectly balanced, and the flavors are so complex and layered — they literally unfold in your mouth. You can really tell that the people here understand what authentic sushi is supposed to taste like. Everything is prepared beautifully and with so much care and attention to detail. The ingredients are extremely fresh, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable for this level of quality. To me, Sushi Kaen feels like a little piece of Japan in Los Angeles. This isn’t just a place where someone rolls some rice and fish together and calls it sushi. There is real respect for Japanese cuisine here, and you can taste it in every bite. I highly recommend this place! If you want to experience what truly great sushi tastes like, you absolutely have to try Sushi Kaen. We will definitely be coming back! ❤”

“Such a small restaurant should not offer world class meals, but this local space offers that and more. High praise must be given to the chefs and staff that keep this place moving, not once have I been disappointed by the large menu, and let me tell you that I've tried nearly EVERYTHING at least once. Fish, rolls, bentos, and udon all come expertly made, beautifully presented, and ready to give you either a full stomach or a gentle reprise from daily life. The perfect space for dates, business, or even just a night out with friends. Small, yet powerful.”

“When I visit my mom in the valley, she enjoys going to Katsuya for lunch. I always have a smile seeing only Latinos making sushi behind the counter. Imagine going to a nice Mexican restaurant and seeing an all Japanese kitchen? Anyways, the sushi quality is good, not great. My moms favorite is the miso cod which costs double in Century City. I was told Katsuya is an independent chain and it's up to the owners the price they set”

“Here's a polished review in the style of a seasoned food critic: There are very few restaurants that can maintain both excellence and consistency for more than two decades, and this remarkable sushi destination in Tarzana is one of those rare exceptions. For the past 26 years, they have quietly set the standard for what authentic Japanese hospitality and uncompromising quality should look like. What immediately stands out is the unwavering commitment to the finest ingredients. Every piece of sushi and sashimi reflects exceptional freshness, precision, and respect for the product. Witnessing the tuna cutting on-site is a testament to their dedication to quality—something true sushi enthusiasts will genuinely appreciate. Every detail, from the knife work to the presentation, is executed with remarkable care. A great restaurant is built by great people, and the chefs—Archy, Scott, Paul, and Saito—are true masters of their craft. Their experience, consistency, and passion are evident in every plate they prepare. Beyond their technical skill, they create an atmosphere that feels both welcoming and effortlessly professional. What truly completes the experience is the hospitality. The service is warm, attentive, and sincere, making every visit feel like returning to a place that genuinely values its guests. It is this perfect harmony of extraordinary ingredients, meticulous craftsmanship, and heartfelt service that has allowed this restaurant to remain one of Tarzana's most treasured culinary gems for over a quarter of a century. Without question, this is a well-deserved five-star establishment and a destination every serious sushi lover should experience.”
