Sushi NAKATA Express

My parents have been here before and said their food was good. We checked them out tonight and their food isn’t just good, it’s delicious!! We ordered 4 different bento boxes and two bowls, so fresh and tasty. I love supporting small businesses! Do yourself a favor and give them a try! We loved the casual vibe and even the little claw machine!

Sub par sushi and way overpriced. Money better spent by going to Tokyo Central

First things first: Their fish is really good! I don't think I need to say more but I will coz I just fell in love with this place.
Nothing fancy, just good fish!

If you ever crave sushi and have no one to go out with, or just want the food but not go out.. this is seriously the place.

My husband and I came here to get light dinner. He got the chirashi don and I got the salmon don. As soon as I took a bite of that fish, I seriously considered getting another bowl (didn't only coz was too full from another meal earlier). (Didn't get to take a picture of the food when we got it coz I got too excited to eat when I saw the fish quality).

Aside from the food, the place was clean and simple and the cashiers and chefs were very friendly and welcoming.

Would definitely come back, and recommend this place to others

Wow. Some of the best sushi in town. The nigiri were so fresh and extremely tasty, and the cut rolls were no exception to that standard. Might be one of the best sushi spots in the vicinity - definitely recommend you try this!

A small sushi place located in La Canada. There are a few tables inside for eating, but seems more like a take out place. Also saw Japanese bagged snacks and drinks for purchase.

The menu is mostly sushi, however there are a few bento options. The daily special menu inside also provided a few more non-sushi options. We ordered an assortment of sushi items and a karaage bento. For the price, I felt the amount and quality was decent. Nothing fancy, however fish was fresh and satisfying.

Food can take time to prepare so might be best to call ahead to pick up if opting the takeout route. The hand roll menu was interesting and may try this out next time I'm in the area for a quick sushi fix.

We had the sushi set, the fish was fresh and properly cut, the flavor is rightful. Only improvement, in my humble opinion, is the rice. It should be more vinegar and a bit more sticky but still remain as “a whole grain”. That’s the tough art in Japanese food.

Sushi Nakata Express was very delicious. They are using high quality fish. All the sashimi melted in my mouth. Also authentic Japanese small dishes were great! They have indoor seating so you can eat in or take out. We will definitely go back!

i got the 3 hand roll set. it's pretty good, but kind of small. i think the chef is Japanese, his sushi rice is good. i think i am gonna try different offerings later.

This is by far the best sushi you can get in the area. It is next to impossible to find a legit sushi place that isn't super Americanified here so I hope this place does well. Staff was friendly and parking is easy.
