37 Best Japanese Restaurants near Newhall

“I've been going here since 2011. Thirteen years of consistent excellence. The highest quality cuts of fish, fantastic customer service and unique flavor combinations. I live almost 500 miles away in a food mecca but all I dream about is Light and Healthy sushi. Once a year I get the privilege to enjoy this experience. I'm so grateful. Check the photos out.“

“Love this place! Our family regularly comes to their restaurant on a weekly basis. The chefs, server, and host/managers are friendly. Being a regular customer, we have witnessed the place go through short staffing (from what I've observed) in the past but they managed to still provide good quality food. They now have this one young male server who is extremely professional and good at his craft. This makes the experience even better.“

“Tried this for the first time, it was so so good. Love the amount of options they offer and the person who helped us was very friendly, talkative, and patient. He also made sure to let us know about the student discount which I appreciated.“

“Hands down a superior sushi house! This is what Santa Clarita has been missing. For the true-blue sushi enthusiast, minus the sriracha mayo overload , imitation crab filled, trough-style eating, and TVs on, HOT MESS that's happening all over this valley. High quality and elegant, beautiful and clean flavors.“

“Great food! Great service! Very welcoming atmosphere.I had the Giant Scallop Sashimi followed up with their Topanga Roll. The scallop was wonderfully prepared and a joy to look at as much as it was a joy to eat.My Topanga roll was fantastic!Washed this all down with an ice cold Asahi and a hot saki.Will definitely return to try some more items off the menu... Im thinking curry... next time?We will be back!“

“Short Ribs are delicious! Do yourself a favor and order Special B. It comes with Grilled Teriyaki Chicken with Beef Short Ribs, sides of rice and salad plus teriyaki sauce and chili sauce. The short ribs and chicken were not only delicious they were nice and hot! You can tell they came right off the grill! Portion size is big for the price. For appetizer, ordered chicken egg rolls (qty: 3) comes with sweet and sour dipping sauce. Egg rolls were hot and crispy. Owner was very friendly and accommodating. He offered to clean the table before we sat down. I liked and appreciated that. The restaurant is very clean and has a small dining area.“

“Today got to check out Yogis Grill. Looked good when I was browsing places to eat so I gave them a shot. Did not disappoint. I ordered the garlic butter noodles with beef and rice and also a half order of their crunch roll. The noodles were tasty, rice was nice and sticky, and the beef was fantastic, great teriyaki flavor, I did get a side of their spicy teriyaki sauce and that made it even better. The roll was good, if you need a quick sushi fix, definitely did that. Service was great, cashier was friendly. Inside was nice where I ate, clean with music playing, seems like a pretty popular spot for lunch from what I seen. Would definitely go back. I want to try the yakisoba noodles next time.“

“Yummy is all I have to say about Izakaya K! Everything is SO fresh and delicious! My husband and I come here often for drinks & amazing dinner, it never disappoints! My favorite is their salmon, it is fresh and almost melts in your mouth.The service is friendly and server is always very attentive. They do not do dine in during lunch and a reservation is required for dinner. But it is definitely worth it!“

“Small and cozy (and hidden above Panda Express on the corner of Reseda and Nordhoff), this Japanese eatery offers traditional dishes at reasonable prices and large portions. The service was prompt and friendly. The chicken katsu curry and seafood Ramen are the two best dishes.“

“Great time and food (drove from Culver City to try them out and did not disappoint I'd drive back to eat there even tho we are drowning in sushi spots in our area) friendly counter service and sat next to a regular restaurant costumer we we're talking to that made it more enjoyable.“

Her knowledge of the menu was impressive, effortlessly guiding you through the extensive selection of sushi rolls and sashimi options. She was attentive without being intrusive, always there when you needed her but never hovering. Lesley's timing was impeccable, ensuring that each dish arrived promptly and at its peak freshness. Her recommendations were spot-on, introducing you to new flavors and combinations that you wouldn't have discovered otherwise. Throughout the meal, she went above and beyond to ensure your satisfaction, checking in regularly and promptly addressing any requests or concerns. Lesley's professionalism and passion for her work were evident in every interaction, making your dining experience not just a meal, but a memorable and enjoyable occasion. Her exceptional service truly elevated the overall atmosphere of the restaurant, leaving you eager to return for another wonderful meal with Lesly's attentive care.“

“This place is authentic, clean and serves exceptional, quality fish. The waitresses are personal and impress happiness and joy. This is our new spot- finally found one! Try the habanero sauce on anything if you like true spice (not just Siracha).Dietary restrictions: No rice rolls, no fish rolls if requested, cooked and raw options.Kid-friendliness: Accommodating to kids.“

“Very tasty food, no stomach ache like from crappy fast food, felt great and satisfied after my meal. Service was friendly and nice despite having a self service kiosk, which is a nice touch. The entrance is small and in general is a small space but it felt cozy enough to dine in and it was clean and welcoming.“

“This is such a wonderful restaurant, the food is absolutely delicious and it has a nice welcoming small businesses vibe. The staff is great and everything is so good, even the sauces alone are amazing.Dietary restrictions: Another customer had dietary restrictions to white rice so the staff helpufully offered brown rice instead.“

“Wow. The restaurant, first of all clean and looks like owner care and keep in good shape, restroom is nice and clean. Table has touch screen with menu with fast software and pictures that I can understand what to order. I ordered Ramen and Philadelphia roll with tempura outside. The roll was amazing with creamy Philadelphia, the rise was gentle and fresh-soft. Amazing. Ramen was so delicious, only the mushrooms were a little bit despicable. I paid $33.95. For this price I will give 5+++.“

“Jin Cook is a fantastic spot for a satisfying meal! They serve up generous portions with attentive service in a cozy atmosphere. The menu boasts tasty options, with highlights including their flavorful katsu selection and delicious Galbijim. Have to try their soups next!“

“the food was very delicious, they cooked my steak to perfection i asked for medium well and that's exactly what i got it was super tender and very flavorful, the service was amazing super friendly people and very attentive making sure they have everything right before they send you off, they pack you utensils along with sauces of your choice, the ambience is very welcoming and nice chill spot to stop by for some great food & their prices are very reasonable definitely recommend (:“

“Fantastic fresh fish at a reasonable price, it's cool being able to sit at the sushi bar and watch them make it, as well as being able to chat with the chefs and ask for their recommendation. I do not however recommend bringing any picky eaters or indecisive people here; the menu is huge.“

“Delicious my fiancee and I, were looking for good options for keeping up with this new healthier eating we are trying. 2 hours before closing we arrived after checking google maps, we were greeted with smiles and clear review of the menu. The chicken and steak picture on the wall first caught my eye which we ended up getting. Their dumplings which I don't normally eat were so tasty! The chicken and steak mixed with their terriyaki was really filling ?. Suffice to say we were pleased and very full. Good choice for flavor, quantity, and quality . ?“

“Food is pretty good, but a few things on the menu didn't measure up to what we hoped for. Overall though, I'd say it's a solid choice to try for anyone venturing out for a new sushi spot. It does take quite a while to get your food though and it is a bit loud and stuffy when it is full. Can be a bit overwhelming if you like a relaxing peaceful meal. The last time we went, they off the order wrong after waiting 30 min. The replacement took another 30 minutes and it ended up coming out in pieces for me to assemble myself. Disappointing. Not sure we will be back, but for a one time thing, it's not too bad.“

“I went last night for my father's bday, and as usual it's still the best sushi restaurant I've been too PERIOD. I got the chance to meet one of the co-owners and had a great discussion with them! Everyone there is always kind, fast yet caring when serving any and all food and/or drinks. The food as usual is just top tier and has never not been consistently amazing each time. I URGE anyone who wants sushi to give them a call, reserve a table, and just enjoy. I can't wait to return. If anyone wants any recommendations, here are our orders (in order of when we place them). Again, this is just preference, everything is amazing. We are a party of 4 and DEFINITELY, can eat. First order: Edamame (plain, spicy, or both), shishito peppers, spicy tuna with crispy rice, extra ginger and wasabi. Second order: 1 order Tuna, salmon, and yellowtail nigiri, 2 orders of albacore(each order of nigiri usually comes in 2 pieces so keep this in mind), and a spicy tuna roll. Third order: Roasted jalapeño role, lemon role, creamy Langostino roll, albacore lovers role, and got sushi role.“

“We stayed near Six Flags overnight. We came to Tokai 3 times while we were here. Excellent rice, fresh and high quality sea food, traditional... So good... I dont give reviews often but had to foe this place. Pro tip: go for the happy hour/lunch specials for a great deal!“

“My son decided to treat me to dinner this past Sunday. Knowing that I love sushi and am very particular about it, he chose this restaurant. He had heard great things about it. What he heard was true! This place was a hidden gem.The first thing that I noticed was that even though it was in a little shopping center, the parking was plentiful and the spaces offered plenty of room. I am always nervous about getting my car scratched in tight spaces and I did not need to worry about that.As we walked in, we were immediately seated. The atmosphere was very nice. It was well lit, which I enjoy because it makes it easier for me to read the menu and see the food. I also enjoyed the fact that it was not loud. We were able to carry on a conversation even though there were many other patrons there. The waitress was always available, yet never hovering.We selected several rolls and my son chose some nigiri. I am not usually a fan of nigiri. I tend to prefer rolls with their toppings and sauces. My son suggested that we share all of the dishes. I agreed, but thought that I would not really like the nigiri. Well, I was wrong. The nigiri at Mutsumi Sushi was AMAZING! I loved the toppings and flavoring on each one. The flavors were subtle, but distinct. I was actually blown away. I will no longer avoid nigiri...at least at this restaurant.I was getting full after our first round of food, but it was so delicious that we ordered more. That was equally as delicious. Two of my favorite rolls were the Cajun Deluxe Roll and the Chatsworth Roll. We topped our meal off with some Tempura Ice Cream. It was the perfect ending to a perfect meal! I will definitely be returning to this lovely restaurant.“

“I can't believe I hadn't written a review for this restaurant before. This was our go-to Japanese restaurant when we lived in Granada Hills -- it wasn't close by exactly but it's a whole lot closer than going to Little Tokyo or Torrance. My favorite items to order would be the Crispy Rice w/ Spicy Tuna, Seared Albacore w/ Crispy Onion, Seared Garlic Albacore Sashimi, Miso Marinated Black Cod, and an assortment of the sushi. Usually, I would call in for a to-go order, unless you arrive just when they open at 5pm for dinner, the wait can be hour + long. Called in a pick up order today and when I arrived at 1pm with my two kids who were too hungry to get to the actual lunch spot, I put my name down on the waitlist to get a table. We went basic today -- Shrimp and Vegetable tempura, Nabeyaki Udon, and 1 Rainbow row. The Udon wasn't big but had chunks of peppered chicken, napa cabbage, mushrooms, and 1 tempura shrimp -- sometimes when you order udon, it's just broth and noodles, so I was surprised there was a lot in the pot. Fish has always been fresh and today was too. Inside can be fairly noisy but spacious. Service attentive.“

“Shortest review ever .. I absolutely love this place and location and every time I go down to Castaic, my youngest, and I have to stop to get the LB roll. 3 of them actually.. 1 roll each and another to share.. Yeah like that... anyhoo The L.B. Roll offers a fusion of flavors with its combination of crab meat, cucumber, and avocado, baked to perfection and topped with succulent lobster and masago. The textures and tastes blend seamlessly, creating a savory experience, call me biased but this is the best role they have and the only role that I get. The attentive friendly, funny and bubbly wait staff adds to the overall enjoyment, making it a must-try for sushi enthusiasts. The sushi chefs make for a fun time. I can't praise them enough because I only eat sushi once a month and I make it a point to drive from Bakersfield to Castaic for their sushi. Thanks for listening. See you there.“

“Always reliable food and great service. Their food is reasonably priced and may not be the most exciting food out there in terms of originality. However, I have never had anything I didn't love. The teriyaki bowls, udon, and yakisoba are all very popular with my little kids.“

“Picked the right place before a 3 day fast. Last meal @1:58pm Absolutely incredible, full of flavor and they brought the spice level up from the last time I came here. Definitely great customer service with a smile. The lobby was clean. It was busy inside but managed to find a seat. I know it's just rice but the rice I ate was made perfectly. Definitely give this location another chance if you rated it less than 5. They definitely deserve to be here.“

“Excellent! We were a party of nine (5 adults, 4 kids) and everyone took such great care of us. The yellowtail sashimi was some of the best we've had; blue crab hand rolls were delicious, as were all the different rolls we tried. The kids gobbled up the Crunchy and Cali rolls.We'll be making Sushi Song a regular stop for sure!“

“ambience is good. relatively a quiet and calm environment one time use chopsticks are really nice and they are of good quality too. the chicken karaage was a slight disappointment. it wasn't quite crispy as i wanted but overall flavor isn't bad. the cold noodle ramen was BOMB. i 100% recommend this to anyone who isn't in the mood for hot noodles. the flavoring is on point and everything is done to perfection. the shoyu ramen is just shoyu ramen. soup flavor is perfectly what you expect it to be. the umaichi tonkatsu was a bit off for me. it was a bit salty and tbh i wouldn't get it again for its price. can't wait to come back and try the other menu items along with another cold noodle ramen.“

“Came on a Friday night about an hour before closing and the food and service were amazing! I was seated right away. Parking was no issue, plenty spaces large parking lot. Servers were very nice, professional, and efficient. My water was never empty. Sushi chefs were friendly and welcoming. Everything that was ordered tasted delicious. The premium fishes tasted fresh and were well prepared -- especially the nigiri. I really enjoyed the way the sushi chef, Jason, prepared the nigiri with the garnishes. One item, called the spoon, was a tasty bite of blue fin toro, uni, and tobiko and was probably my favorite of the night. Uni is definitely an acquired taste but if you like eating sea urchin, you will enjoy this "spoon". haha. And don't want to forget to mention the green mussels, honestly I didn't have much expectation but wow whatever sauce they make was actually really good, I'll definitely be ordering that again. Side note, I also really liked how they cut the mussel in half which helped make eating it easier, I never received mussels prepared that way before. Overall, I will definitely be back again!“

“This an amazing place with great sushi, great & respectful service & nice atmosphere.Their Garlic Shrimp Tuna roll is the best!If you want shrimp & vegetable tempura ? with the works & a sushi roll with other rolls, get the Bento box ? Great price too than doing it separately.Enjoy!“

“Not sure where to start. Food quality, serving size, price, ambiance, super nice worker. This place is a GEM. Absolutely in love w the food and the quality. Food is hot and made with love, easy to see when you open the box. Cant recommend enough!“

“My wife and I visited I Love Sushi the other day for lunch and we will happily add it to our "Let's go out to lunch" locations. My first impression was it was a nice looking restaurant, well laid out and sharp. Not that it matters much to the taste of the food but it does show the owners are serious about their business when a place looks nice. Our serve Maya was efficient and welcoming so that added to the positive vibe. We didn't order much, we shared a Sushi Combo plate and a Rainbow Roll but it was enough to feed us both. The fish was fresh and the shrimp was sweet. So often the shrimp taste dull in other establishments so it was nice to have something fresh and sweet. Lately there seem to be few good Sushi Chefs left in the Santa Clarita valley. Pick up the average roll and dunk it in Soy Sauce and half the Rice falls into the sauce plate. NOT here. It was like the old days when people knew how to roll a good roll and used the right rise so it hung together until you ate it. Yes we will return.“

“The quality of the fish and other ingredients here is of top quality here compared to other poke locations in SCV. It’s understandable that the prices have gone up. Sure it’s a splurge, but it’s always been 100% worth it. Staff is friendly and helpful. The place is always clean.“

“Love this place, the service is ok mostly teenagers so it's expected to be the friendliest service but it's not bad. The place itself usually doesn't have a lot of people dining in so it's not a bad place to eat at. The food is alway good we have never had an issue so far with any of our orders.“

“This place is amazing. Small hole in the wall spot but it’s got everything you need for a night of good sushi. Nice happy hour deals too. Their custom rolls really stand out. My girlfriend and I got popcorn shrimp roll and stopped talking cus we were too busy stuffing our face. Parking in the back and friendly staff. Glad to have this place next to my house.“

“Over the years I have eaten at many Sushi restaurants. BUT, the quality of food at O' Sushi is unparalleled and will now be my only Sushi restaurant from now on and forever. The staff are very friendly and always make an effort to be sure I was very pleased with my dishes and even recommends many other specialty dishes I have yet to experience. Thank You to all at O'Sushi.“
