50 Best Sushi Bars near Panorama City

“Restaurant has fast service, friendly atmosphere and good prices. My food was ready within 10 minutes. I ordered the number 17, combination plate CA roll with teriyaki chicken, I substituted the salad with rice bowl, also had a side of miso soup. All the food was delicious, and fresh. Plenty of parking it’s located in a plaza with also plenty of street parking. I am very pleased with this restaurant. Will definitely come again, it will most likely be my go to place. It is hard to find a sushi restaurant that embodies a relaxing atmosphere with good food. Thank you to the team, I will recommend to all my friends.“

“I Google mapped it and I didn't realize that it was in the swap meet. But it was a nice surprise. The gentleman's very nice and he's also very talented and his food was delicious. Don't knock the spot if you're in the area the swap meet? It's quite quaint in neighborhoodish if you're in this area this time I did take photos.“

“That sounds like a fantastic dining experience“

“This is absolutely my favorite sushi restaurant in LA and I have been back now 10 times. I have lived here for 3 years and was looking for a fresh, well made sushi joint and finally found it. The owner is so kind and welcomes you upon walking in. I always get the miso soup, crispy rice and albacore fried onion roll. Everything is cooked to perfection and so flavorful. The ambiance is lovely with 1950s jazz playing and quick service. I cannot give this restaurant enough praise. Highly recommend!!“

“This was our first time at Leona’s Sushi House, thanks to a friend who suggested we meet there—and honestly, we fell in love with the place right away. The vibe was just right—relaxed but lively—and we scored the best seats in the house, right by the open-air window on Ventura. Couldn’t have asked for a better spot to people-watch and soak it all in.

Our server was very friendly and made us feel at home. She even joked about losing her voice at the Beyoncé concert she’d just taken her daughters to—definitely a fun icebreaker.

We all went for the Omakase, and it was such a treat. It kicked off with a mushroom miso soup, then halibut sashimi topped with truffles (so good), followed by a couple of trays of assorted nigiri, and then a crab handroll. Even though we were stuffed, we couldn’t resist dessert, so we shared the chocolate lava cake, and banana puff pastry, and brought the caramel flan home.

All in all, it was an awesome night—great food, great company, and a place we intend to visit again.“

“Must get sushi, but don’t forget the corn tempura and momotaro tomato (seasonal). Awesome sake selection too.“

“Phenomenal experience and the staff was excellent.“

“Not sure why this place doesn’t have 5 stars. Found this place about a year ago and every time we are in LA we make a point to come during happy hour and get their mountain roll & crispy spicy tuna. Service is wonderful and attentive. Sushi never misses. Always so fresh. 10/10 recommend!“

“Excellent food with great selection, pleasant atmosphere that allowd a conversation and an excellent server who was prompt and genuinely nice.

Dietary restrictions: Tell them about allergies!

Parking: Parking lot behind the restaurant.

“Leo is the best chef. So kind, personable, and knows his sushi. He makes just about everything from his ginger to his soy sauce from scratch even though he’ll tell you, “no soy sauce” for most of the sushi that comes as it should be eaten. Best sushi restaurant on Ventura Blvd by far. Make sure to try his dry aged fish!

Parking: There are a few spots behind the restaurant.“

“Probably the best Sushi/Sashimi place in Los Angeles.
I know fresh and quality sashimi/sushi and this probably the freshest I've seen in a long while. The owners are super sweet, top notch service and the restaurant interior is so clean and comfortable. Again the quality of the fish was above the norm.“

“great food. Good service. decent prices“

“Great Sushi! Top Quality!“

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

“Dr Dre and Andersen Pak restaurant. Sign me up! The service and atmosphere were great. We ordered alot of food and got to try alot of different things. Some were great like the wagyu beef and others were just OK which is why I gave it 3 stars. It's probably closer to 4 considering the service was great. Drinks were good also. I will admit in not a sushi person so I only tried one piece of sushi and it wasnt for me.“

“Great 🍣 sushi and the employees are super friendly! Been coming here for years.“

“There are so many sushi places in Studio City. This is just inside Sherman Oaks by one block, on Riverside, so it's a real neighborhood place. The food is great. Truly homemade. Everything is fantastic. The host, Ben, is stellar. Kind, attentive, and very helpful and knows the cuisine. A great place ... and our secret, okay?“

“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.“

“Love this little nook, the service was great very friendly and accommodating. Would love more vegan/vegetarian items but the items they had were delicious and they made modifications for us. Love that it's small and intimate but if it were bigger I wouldn't mind.“

“We had a very nice dinner here. It was highly recommended by a friend. It is a cute little place that fills up quickly. We ended up sitting outside with some heaters, which was quite nice. We tried the Brussel sprout appetizer, and it was excellent. We ordered the Asian roll, the lobster tempura roll as well as the soft shell crab roll. All were very good. The negima, which is chicken on a stick, was very tasty. We finished with mochi, which was perfect.“

“I never leave reviews, but as someone who loves sushi and has eaten at most of the restaurants and hole in the walls in the valley — this place is hands down at the top. The atmosphere isn’t fancy, more casual, but the happy hour deal and the quality of the food is solid. The staff couldn’t be nicer and more lovely. Highly recommend giving it a shot for a casual date night or if you’re craving some solo sushi time :)“

“Exceptional, rarified traditional Èdo Maè Sushi where the ultra high quality and specialized seafood from mainly Japan is emphasized by the Japanese chef with years of experience at his craft.

If you come expecting Sushi rolls with inferior fish decorated by nuance destroying squiggly of mayonnaise, Sriracha, sweet eel "sauce", you will be disappointed. Truly for discriminating Sushi gourmands who are willing to pay the price of entry.“

“I love this place! The food is fantastic! And I’m a regular for a reason 😉“

“OTTO SUSHI was amazing their portions were generous but not huge so you know they weren’t prioritizing quantity over quality. Our order consisted of the chicken teriyaki bento box, eel avocado roll, and the garlic yellowtail roll i believe that was the name…everything was delicious but my favorite had to be the Garlic roll, the use of garlic chips unsparingly was the star of the show. We will definitely be back!“

“Прекрасное обслуживание, всё очень вкусно.“

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

“Went to my chiropractor on Beverly and had a hankering for Sushi for lunch. Took Melrose on my way back and stumbled upon this place. Four different types of lunch specials for $17.88. A steak I say! Great service, clean and fun/funky environment, and fresh sushi at the right price! If you’re shopping on Melrose, give em a try!“

“it's a tiny little hole in the wall amazing awesome delightful friendly place!!!! the food and the people who work there are amazing!“

“They used to be amazing but last visit the food and sushi quality got downhill and service was lacking too. despite asking several times for more ginger and Wasabi but got ignored about it. gave 1 plate of it for 2 people. price however doesn't justify the quality anymore. sushi were keep falling apart . not like they used to be. still fresh . it's ok but not for the price“

“Always amazing food and service. I just love this restaurant.“

“We were 5 ppl ,ordered like 8 dishes all were amazingly great my first time to Gokaku Rama. Was so worth it after all day in universal su Dr ios,3 min drive to Gokaku place ..I did not want to end my meal .this is the best restaurant“

“This place is absolutely amazing! I rarely write reviews, but I had to make an exception for this one. My son and I absolutely loved it here. Everything was perfect—the food, the atmosphere, and the overall experience! The complimentary cucumber salad and miso soup were such a delightful touch. This is officially my go-to sushi spot from now on. Highly recommend it to everyone!“

“Top sushi 🍣 restaurant in studio city.
The service was excellent, from the time we walked in, to leaving, all staff constantly greeted and checked on us to make sure we were doing well.

The grilled green peppers🫑 were good, not too spicy.

The sushi was very fresh and tender, and the plates, including teriyaki salmon were tasty.

The place was packed.

The only downside was that their parking lot had zero self parking spaces, only valet parking so if you prefer not to, would need to find nearby street parking, which we did and walk a few blocks to the restaurant.“

“Pretty much everything it is always the best and freshest fish in town! The best oysters on the half shell, Uni, yellowtail belly, the seafood salad is really delicious, (as well as their salmon skin salad)! Another favorite is the ELhand roll (it’s almost a meal in itself)! You really cannot go wrong with anything you order there! Five stars for sure!“

“Amazing food. Never tried anything like that before. Fresh, unique, great presentation.“

“Sushi is so good and fresh. And thr ice cream so good specially the lychee sorbet“

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

“The staff are always friendly and the food is absolutely delicious.
Every time we visit L.A., this is a must-stop spot for our kids.

We’re big fans of sushi and have tried omakase in many countries, but this place keeps coming back to mind. While the setting and atmosphere might not be the most fancy, the taste alone is enough to bring us back.

In fact, sometimes the small and humble vibe feels even more comfortable, which is why it works so well for our family. I have a feeling we’ll keep coming back every time we’re in L.A!“

“Truly, the best place in the area to have sushi if you wanna have authentic sushi with high-quality grade that reminds you of Japan, you should come over here, Very intimate perfect for dating and also just to go grab a bite. The stuff are very nice too ?❤️‍?“

“Tatsu Sushi Japanese Cuisine is a true gem! The food was absolutely exceptional—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even better. While the restaurant is on the smaller side and can fill up quickly, that’s just a testament to how great the food is. They seem to handle a lot of takeout orders, but service remains impressively fast for dine-in guests. I will definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend this spot to all sushi lovers!“

“Truly not enough descriptive words to express the level of freshness, taste and welcoming vibe we experienced at Karma Sushi. Honestly the BEST sushi I’ve had in forever. James and his staff are a 10+ (no exaggeration). They greet you like family and take care of you like only an owner runned business could. I’m hooked and can’t stop eating here!!!! Was just there for Mother’s Day and returning next week to share with a friend. A MUST TRY.“

“Two thumbs up! Simply Best sushi in town ever. Love this place and all super friendly staff. Try Chef's special and feel chef Kono's 30 + years experience. Definitely will back soon.“

“The food is AMAZING. I do feel a bit cheated out of the overall experience. The joint is inside the supermarket and they don’t have a seating area. Something the previous reviews neglected to mention. For a $100+ order and two have to take it to go, it’s definitely not what I expected. We did a picnic nearby to adjust. The food is a culinary trip. I highly recommend them. It is by far one of the best sushi joints in the San Fernando Valley.“

“Absolutely amazing menu and very accommodating people, and it’s very affordable and mostly delicious 😋.“

“Unexpected find in a quiet little plaza in West Hollywood—easily the best unagi don I’ve had in SoCal. Two styles, both incredible, but the hitsumabushi stole the show. Could’ve eaten three more bowls without hesitation. 😋“

“Masa-san serves chef's choice, and the food is fresh and delicious. Eating here is an extremely delightful experience. The sweet shrimp with eggs is one of my favorites. Always finish your meal with at least 1 (maybe 2 or ...) of his blue crab rolls. The crab is carefully hand-pulled, the rice is warm, and the seaweed is crisp. You won't find that combination of quality and easy dining experience anywhere else in the Valley. Please try it!“

“Katsuya was an incredible experience. We went there for a date night and was absolutely in love with everything we had. We had the Katsuya Chef's Tasting Menu ($85 pp) which included 1. Hokkaido Scallop Sashimi: This was sublime! 2. Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice: This was probably the highlight of the entire meal for me. Spicy tuna always slaps and the crispy rice had a very delicate hint of toasted sesame oil. Très bien! 3. Lobster Tempura: I've never really been a fan of tempura but this one was just exceptional. It was such a nice flavor. I think there was a hint of cheese. But whatever it was, I want more. 4. Wagyu Ishiyaki with Wasabi ponzu: I'm always sceptical about red meat and love it with more flavor infused. So, I was pleasantly surprised when I really enjoyed this. The wasabi ponzu, thinly sliced radish and shiso leaves were the whole package! 5. Specialty rolls: These were well-executed but I was mind blown by the rest of the food that I'd had and the flavors that were exploding that this did not leave a memorable mark for me. But still so good! 6. For the main course, we had a choice between short ribs and the cod. I went with short ribs. This was probably the best sears ever! I also loved the braising jus. 7. Finally for the dessert, we had the Miso Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Bean Marshmallow, Sesame Cremeux, Salted Caramel. It was an amazing dessert to finish things off. They had a few wine offerings, which I enjoyed. Our waiter was super sweet and ensured that we were occupied throughout. He was very knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. I loved the ambiance on the inside. Though it's near one of the tourist-y parts of LA, once you're inside, you don't realise how busy it is outside. Overall, I enjoyed this spot immensely. 15/10 recommend.“

“Quickly becoming my favorite sushi spot. I get the same thing everytime (Rainbow Roll, Aloha Roll) and it somehow gets better each time! The crispy rice is delish too. Such kind ppl and a cute lil patio

Dietary restrictions: very accommodating to gluten free. Even have Tamari sauce“

“This is place is fantastic! It is such a unique experience, the food is delicious, fresh and so satisfying. We ate our food so quick that i didn't get a chance to take pictures of everything else we ordered.My husband and I have been coming here since late 2000's and so happy to support his business for many more years ❤️“

“I’m surprised I never left a review here, this place is everything people brag about, but the flavors, perfect, freshness, like never before, recommended if you want fresh sushi, which is very hard to find, I highly recommend the house rules like Niko roll“
