12 Best Sushi Bars in Encino

“That sounds like a fantastic dining experience“

“Wonderful experience with Chef Take! Truly a unique experience in the historical method and style chef prepares his experience.“

“Excelente lugar... muy buena experiencia atención increíble!“

“Great sushi.Hits the sweet spot between the fancy, super high priced sushi and the lower end, bare bones (but still not cheap) sushi.Excellent quality fish with creative garnishes, and large portions. We tried only one special roll and it was sensational. Unlike many large rolls at other places, all the individual components stood out. (Often, I find these big rolls essentially interchangeable.)Not a cheap meal, but great cost to value ratio.Bryant is a terrific, enthusiastic server.“

“Reason for visiting: cousin's birthday dinner

Date/time of visit: Saturday night, 7:30 PM

Parking: they offer valet (not sure how much it is) but you can park on the street (along Rubio) or Ventura for free (meters are off on the weekends)

Party size: 5

Environment/ambience: pretty loud inside (sometimes couldn't hear ourselves talking); mixed crowd but mostly younger (teens and 20 somethings). Didn't see any TVs inside; restroom was pretty clean. Seating was tight; it was a table for 4 but we squeezed a chair. They were busy all night so probably best to make reservations.

Service: was great; very friendly and offered suggestions. Came around often. Offered them one of the desserts we brought, they took off a couple items from the bill ?

Food: everything was great; had the Blue Fin and Salmon Belly handroll, spider roll, Katsuya Sake, beer, mixed sashimi, Lobster dynamite, scallop cut roll

Cost: $390 with tip

Would I go back (yes/no): 93/7“

“Best sushi and amazing service!!!“

“The food is really very good, and I'm not the only one who thinks so as evidenced by the fact that the place is packed every time we walk through the door. They have a wide variety of Japanese food on the menu, in addition to the regular staples of a sushi bar. The best part is, it's really reasonably priced. I believe that they have other locations, as well. I highly recommend Cho Cho San.Thank you see you next time ??“

“Came here for my birthday and enjoyed it so much! The roles were very fresh and the booth we sat in, was comfortable with a private vibe. We got three large rolls and ended up taking one of them home. It was a lot of food. I also got a cocktail that was very strong!“

“Great food as always. Fresh fish.“

“We wanted a quick lunch and we it was late in the afternoon and we decided that poke would be good, and this place was delightful.The fish was fresh and tasty. The kale noodles were wonderful and the pineapple smoothie with boba was amazing. If I get out that way again I'll go back“

“I don't know what was missing exactly, but rice was kind of tasteless/plain compared to other places. Veggies, meat and lobster were all good. Performance was okay, nothing crazy. The AC showed the temp around 79F, but expect it to be warmer next to the griddle. Comfortably, one table will hold 5 people. For 7 it will be tight. For a group of people they add 15% without notifying in advance, so just be prepared.“

“My family and I had a great time last night celebrating my cousin birthday Latonya!! The food and drinks was good!!“
