“Cool little sushi bar off the beaten path that does all you can eat. Found this place on social media and had to try it. Family made it a sushi adventure trip with about an hour drive. Not disappointed at the experience. Half the family did the all you can eat, allowing us to share, while the others ordered what they wanted. No one was disappointed or left hungry.“

“Excellent Restaurant! The service was complete awesome and beyond friendly and professional, I felt treated like family. The food was superb, top shelf, portions and prices exceptional. The yellow tail and eel was totally fresh and delicious, prepared delicately with exact additions drawing out the flavors wonderfully, and yes, the Sake was at the perfect tempature and very smooth. Thank you very much, I'll be back much more. Sushi Sundays !!!“

“Yummmmmmy!!!! Great sushi and friendly staff. It’s a little pricey but great quality so it’s worth it =}“

“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.“

“I rarely leave comments. I visited once before and felt the quality of the pork wasn't quite up to par. Today, however, we ordered the Spicy Miso and a Chicken Ramen—and honestly, they were absolutely delicious. From the quality of the meat to the flavor of the broth, this visit certainly didn't disappoint. I'll definitely be back!“

“Always amazing genuine food! I always order from here and they always get it right. The #2 special is always my go to and they make it so good every single time. A little older of a building but don’t let the looks scare you away, their food is wonderful and so are the people behind the counter!“

“Absolutely fantastic experience! The food was fresh, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious. Every dish was full of flavor and clearly made with high-quality ingredients.

The service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and welcoming without ever feeling intrusive. The ambiance was equally impressive, with a comfortable, relaxing atmosphere that made the entire meal even more enjoyable.

If you’re looking for excellent sushi, great service, and a wonderful dining experience, I highly recommend this restaurant. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“The best yellow tail Nelly sushi ever“

“This place has the absolute BEST Oyakodon and curry. I know people focus on the ramen but for real, it’s the closest we’ve gotten to food in japan since we got back from our trip. INCREDIBLE and they have thai tea and milk tea that’s delicious!!“

“Izakaya has some of the best quality fish in Simi Valley. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“I! Absolutely! LOVE this place!! The owner (at least, I assume he's the owner bc he's the only one I've seen every single time I've come in) (edit: manager?) is a total sweetheart, and the food is delicious! I brought my friends here a couple weeks back and they both loved what they got (two half-n-half Korean corn dogs, 1 order of gyoza), and I've been consistently getting the teokbokki (is that how it's spelled?) for however long it's been. I'm hoping to try the fried chicken at some point, but for now the cupbokki in particular (same thing but smaller serving) is my go-to post-library dinner :) Please eat here!!“

“Great atmosphere - fresh sushi - amazing service . For sure best sushi in SCV! Ranking up with sushi from Hawaii !!“

“Such a delicious crunch roll. Great menu and prices. The staff is welcoming. Its not super close to home but close to UCLA medical. I ve already been back. Two doors down is Starbucks. Grab an iced coffee, return and the food is ready for pick up. The lady who rang up my order is wonderful.
Enjoy! JC.“

“Who thought that classic American fare and Japanese cuisine could mesh so well??!!“

“The food was well made, came out quicker than expected, food came hot and offered additional sauces because i sat down. The music was nice and added a calm and relaxing environment. I think this is a great place to stop by on your lunch break and was pretty affordable so i also recommend if you’re on a budget. Would def go again“

“When you see betos you aren't expecting it to be fried rice plates. But that exactly what it is. Portions are awesome. They cook the steak how you want it if you order that. Shrimp was also amazing. Next time we are in town we are making this a stop.“

“Love this place its always nice to come back to Valencia to eat at Sushi Story been a family favorite for so long Bruce and his family do an amazing job to make you feel welcomed and are always so kind

Favorite order is the 3 item bento and the baked rolls“

“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“

“This chain is amazing! Food is always super fresh and serving is good size there are a lot of options especially great for lunch those who want to eat light or be full. If you are vegan or pescatarian this place is great for you too We have options for everybody.“

“food was fresh . sushi chefs good. nice variety.“

“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! ❤“

“My sister goes to this place for take out and the food was amazing.I will bring my family here as well.“

“This is a hidden gem in Castaic! I was blown away by how delicious the Tonkotsu Black Garlic ramen was. The pork was cooked perfectly, the eggs were phenomenal, and the broth was hearty! I am from LA and have been to many delicious spots, so I have a knack for finding authentic ramen. This is by far the best ramen in Santa Clarita that I have tried. I also got the brown sugar milk tea with boba and that was delicious as well!“

“Walked into the mall wanting to eat. Suki Hana caught my eye and I was helped by an employee named Shantell. She gave me recommendations on what to get and was absolutely helpful. The food was great, and their work area was clean. Shantell helped me out a lot and I will definitely be coming back. Thank you for the great service & food!“

“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.“

“The food and service was excellent.“

“Good food and service. I enjoyed it.“

“We had both sushi and ramen. The sushi was VERY good, nice cuts and plentiful! The ramen was very tasty, slightly smoky flavor. Will definitely be coming back“

“***EXPERIENCE 1*** (Positive) 08/26/25

On this occasion, the man working the counter had a very pleasant demeanor. I ordered the Hamburger Cutlet, and my Mom got the Pork Cutlet. You get a complete meal. Both cutlets came with a side of shredded cabbage, and sides of Miso Soup, Takuan, Rice, and a dipping/topping sauce. The presentation was very nice, the cutlets were placed on grill plates so they don't sit in grease which is great. I tasted some of the Pork Cutlet and it was crunchy, tender, and juicy. My Hamburger Cutlet was the same, and it was pure meat patty, no fillers here. Overall, dining here is a great value. You get restaurant quality food at a reasonable price. And, customer service was excellent. The gentleman working the counter really was extremely nice and was a big factor in our positive dining experience.“

“Wow! I mean like really wow. This place is fantastic! I have had poké in just about every city in Los Angeles and this place is on point with the best! Super fresh, big servings, great price and what a wonderful welcome! The man working there, his name is Danny. He had me laughing the whole time. Felt like being at home with friends! Thank you PF! You are my new spot!“

“I was looking for a hibachi place close to me and this placed really made my night! Service was great, food tasted amazing and it was prepared in a timely fashion. The food was bursting out of the lid, definitely get yourself a plate! The portions are great if you eat a lot and if you don’t then you can share it with someone else.

You can really tell that the owner loves doing what he’s doing and it really shows!

Definitely will be a regular customer here!“

“Great food and great customer service.“

“So good!! Better than Hungry Ninja in every single way and form. Literally eating here at least twice a week.

The meat quality is amazing and it’s literally enough food to have almost 2 meals out of. Best rice plate, bowl spot in SCV!!“

“Love Ramen, must try Honey Toast for desert“

“Super high quality fish, great food all around. Staff are super friendly and nice. Highly recommend.“

“This Food Truck is a gem to us, for the rolls we get, Sur sushi is convenient and we enjoy the sushi. We order often and have never had a problem. You can call or text to place your order. The cashier is very friendly. They are not open Mondays or Tuesdays and are only open evenings. If your not up for dealing with a restaurant even for take out, check this place out.“

“Amazing food. Food is always fresh and delicious. Lunch specials come with so much food!“
