32 Best Japanese Restaurants near Newbury Park

“I'm new to the sushi world, and Sumu was the 2nd sushi restaurant I've been to. I like Sumo so much I haven't wanted to try other places. I'm kinda picky and don't try many foods, so I'm easing my way, but so far, I LOVE the Kara Rolls and Hot Rolls best ?“

“Sushi Oaks is a hidden gem in Thousand Oaks. The fish is incredibly fresh, and their spicy tuna hand rolls are easily some of the best I’ve ever had—perfect texture, just the right balance of ingredients . Everything here is clean, balanced, and clearly made with care. Great service, chill atmosphere, no fluff—just top-tier sushi done right. Highly recommend.“

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

“Healthy selections and no nonsense. I will be back soon.“

“This local restaurant is truly the best in the game! ? Their sushi is top notch, with the freshest ingredients every single time. They never fail with the wonderful quality of service. Great ambience with a smile on all employees' faces! Their rocket roll is superb, and the lobster hand roll is always delicious. Shoutout to the owners for always being so welcoming!! ?“

“For how busy they were they cranked out the sushi fast. The rolls were good, didn't have anything that we didn't like. Would definitely go again. The half off menu is great.

They have a picture of soft shell crab roll on the half off menu under crunch roll. That one was a little disappointing that it was not the accurate picture. Not a reason not to go of course“

“The sushi place with a funny name!Having worked in Camarillo for about 3 years now, this is the first time I've visited Yomama.The 9-1-1 Roll is really good. Nice and flavorful with just the right amount of spice kick that you'd think Yomama was slapping you in the face.The steak bento could use some more sauce, but I'm not holding that against Yomama.Needless to say, Yomama is my new go-to for a quick sushi bite or a bento.Now if only Yomama would sell me the t-shirt hanging on the wall...“

“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. 🥰“

“The sushi here is FRESHHHH! They have tons of options to choose from, you’ll definitely find the one you like. I love their k-pop roll. And if you like your meat raw on sushi…you MUST try their masa special roll. Every bite of this roll took me to some place in heaven!The only feedback I have for them is their sushi size could be smaller. Too big to fit in my mouth in one go.“

“Food is so delicious and the price was so cheap for the amount! I got the chicken teriyaki bowl and it was 7 dollars and 75 cents not including tax. The bowl was packed to the brim and for less than 10 dollars, the food was so good and really filling.“

“Q Sushi is the best! I tried oysters for the first time ever, and they were SO good. I thought they might be weird, but I ended up loving them! The food here is amazing, and everything tasted so fresh. They even gave me a really yummy avocado sushi roll, which I loved, and a little orange snack that was so cute and sweet.

The workers were so nice, and my waitress, Sage, was awesome. She made me feel really special and made sure I had everything I needed. It was such a fun place to eat, and I can’t wait to go back again. you have to try this place.

Kid-friendliness: So fun“

“This place used to be called something else (Sushi Ai) and we haven’t been back since they sold. Decided to give it a try last night. Unbelievably AWESOME! The fish was so incredible and each dish / roll was AMAZING!!! I’ve been to many delicious sushi places in my time and this was truly a cut above them all!! I would highly recommend them. We will definitely be going back, so if it’s not consistent, I will update my review. As it stands, this is by far some of the best sushi I’ve ever had and that is seriously saying something!!!!“

“I was looking for a sushi place and came here. It was not what I thought it would be. It is quite different and that was good. I was tired of the same old thing and needed a change up - and this place filled that need. Everything about it was unique. You sit at a big bar and cook your own food at the counter. The quality of the food was wonderful (cant hide raw food quality) and everything tasted great. The counter person was wonderful as well. The only problem I had was starting the dinner before taking pictures.“

“TUESDAY FOOD REVIEW...HAI SUSHI (again)...3/5/24! Today we went back to Hai Sushi, located at 1101 E Los Angeles Ave., in Simi Valley, for lunch. We have eaten there many times over the years, as their food is always DELICIOUS!!! I had their Miso Soup, Spring Greens Salad, 911 Roll, Lobster Roll, Shrimp Tempura, Fresh Water Eel, Spicy Scallop Hand Roll, Garlic Edamame, Yellowtail Sushi, and Salmon Sushi. And it was as it always is, fresh and delicious!!!! Definitely Simi Valley's best sushi restaurant!!!“

“Love the food here they never disappoint me“

“We had a Ramen bowl and a sashimi and tempura lunch special. The food was good but not particularly special. The flavors were fine, but nothing stood out as exceptional or memorable. It’s a decent option, but not a must-visit if you’re looking for something extraordinary.“

“Great Sushi Bar staring Nhina. He creates some amazing dishes. Love this place!“

“I've haven't been to japan yet but I've had sushi all over the world and this is the best I've had so far. Not the usual quick innexpensive sushi environment, you pay more, but you get a unique eating experience from someone who is a master of their craft. I don't live in cali but eating here is one of the highlights of my trip, and can't wait to go back when I am in town again.“

“Healthy delicious Japanese food provided in a faster process with greatly decreasing quality. Good value.“

“My boyfriend and I never tried this place before and we were looking for something local and something not super pricey so we tried this place. And we didn’t really have too many expectations of what was going to happen, but we were overwhelmed with the incredible quality of this food. The food and the service was outstanding, and even though they were closing shortly, they still attended to us. We will definitely come back anybody looking for a quick bite to eat in the area that loves sushi is the freshest sushi I’ve ever had and I am pretty picky.“

“Sea Butter in Westlake Village is hands down my favorite sushi spot in the area! The sushi is always incredibly fresh, and the staff is so friendly and welcoming. My absolute favorite is the Emma sushi—it just melts in your mouth. The spicy tuna crispy rice is also amazing. I love coming here with my family and always have a great experience. If you’re looking for top-quality sushi and great service, this is the place to go!“

“Sarku has been my favorite for many years now. Unfortunately they don't have a location in the valley so I have to wait to visit Bakersfield to enjoy their tasty and amazing ? food. I took my son for his birthday to thousands oaks because it's only 30min away to try their Sarku location, I'm happy to say ? it's also delicious ? thank you!!!“

“I hardly ever write reviews but this stood out so much that I couldn't resist. Nice location, clean inside, friendly service, and the poke is GOOD. A lot of fish, sauces and toppings to choose from. I'll definitely be coming back.“

“Great food and great people“

“The sushi is good, the beer and wine selection are not, though the wine that *is* offered is high quality. Service was a bit slow this time around (sat at the sushi bar). The prices are ok, not notably inexpensive, but again, the sushi is decent.“

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

“The lunch special is fantastic! Expediently but expertly presented and an incredible value! The quality is top notch and the service is impeccable. Always had a great experience at Tomodachi and the rest of their menu is extremely impressive! Wonderful selection. Their attention to detail is unmatched. Enjoy!

Parking: Ample parking out front.

Kid-friendliness: Family friendly atmosphere.

Wheelchair accessibility: No steps, easy access.“

“This place is AMAZING! Not too many quality all you can eat restaurants around the area, but I’m so glad I found this one. I’m a tough critic when it comes to sushi restaurants but at $40 for AYCE sushi dinner for this quality is unheard of nowadays. The food was delicious with generous amount of fish and the service was super quick and great. I highly recommend this place.“

“This is a great spot for casual dining and dates. The food is always fresh. I recommend the Spicy Pork Bulgogi Dinner, Baked Green Mussels, and Freshwater Eel sushi.“

“Definitely a go to restaurant for me and my partner that never has a wait. The food is always outstanding with the servers doing an amazing job if you do need to get a server you just click a button and they arrive! Definitely gives a mom pop type of restaurant. So if that’s your style you will definitely love this spot!“

“We really liked the food, and the service was great. Unfortunately, the smell of cleaning solution in the restaurant was overpowering, and I don't think we can do a repeat visit because of that one thing. My husband and I both left with headaches from the smell.“

“Sushi is ok. Since Covid, it's a different quality. Was there for in-person dining today and they added a 15% service charge on the bill. When I inquired about what it was for the waitress said, "it's your tip for us". I was like, "last I knew I decided in the tip for you". Saw a sign on way out referencing 10% but they added 15. I don't mind tipping for great service...Ever but I expectto get it. Diners beware.“
