24 Best Japanese Restaurants near Port Hueneme

“Izakaya Jin is a friendly place to dine with authentic Japanese cuisine. They offer amazingly fresh sushi, sashimi and nigiri. Hot dishes are just as good! The special sets they create for various holidays are out of this world. We lived in Japan for seven years and we are so thankful to have found a place that offers some of the best food in town!“

“First time visiting this restaurant with my partner. The atmosphere is nice. The server was very kind and efficient. Highly recommend their variety of rolls. Don't even need the soy sauce because the rolls are well seasoned. Serving is huge enough to make you full. Almost forgot my hat and very glad my server reminded that I left it in my chair. Will definitely visit next time!“

“I've been going to this place since I was attending Rio Mesa! I have since moved to Vancouver, WA and there are teriyaki places EVERYWHERE. None compare, still. Sauce is a perfect texture, veggies are always perfectly steamed, portions are amazing. I was so glad to see that this place survived Covid.“

“So good! Flavors are amazing! Staff is awesome! Great atmosphere !“

“Great teppanyaki food and entertaining chef performance!“

“Hidden gem!! It's tucked inside an abandoned food court. All the other stores within the food court are closed. It's the last one standing from the aftermath of the pandemic. Grabbed some quick sushi to take back to the hotel.
The sushi is surprisingly very good and fresh! Sashimi is buttery and silky. Price is very reasonable, and portions are just right. Sushi rolls and sashimi were delightful!“

“The noodles were so chewy and the broth was so flavorful as well as warm for this cold weather. I wish i could have stayed to eat it at the restaurant but I had homework to do. The to go order was neatly arranged and hot as if it had just been served in the to go containers.“

“Small & family owned. The food tastes great and the prices are very reasonable. The owners are there 6 days out of the week from opening to closing. Do not go there expecting a 5-star fine dining experience, but if you want to support a hard working small mom-and-pop owned restaurant with great quality foods and welcoming atmosphere, it's totally worth a try!“

“Indescribably delicious. Get the omakase from chef Yuji! 🥲“

“My family and I love visiting Yokozuna’s for their great food and atmosphere. The owner is a great guy who makes the best hand rolls I’ve had! It’s always a joy talking with him and the staff! Yokozuna’s will continue to be my go to spot for great sushi and conversation with my family!“

“Hands down BEST sushi in Ventura! We come here at least once a week. Highly recommend parking along the street, catching sunset on the beach, then coming here for dinner. Although everything I’ve ordered here has been excellent, my very favorites are the Avocado Bomb (the best I’ve ever had) and the Sushi House Roll. The staff are always very welcoming, friendly, and attentive.“

“The sashimi is consistently of higher quality - fresh with smoother texture - and the tempura lighter without the oil drenched heaviness of old school home cooking. Overall, the food has a tasty, lighter, and balanced flavor profile that we enjoy. But talking about service, can you imagine our surprise when a waitress walked over to our table and gave us 50.00 in cash (not credit) saying that we overpaid on our last visit - a month ago! Some years earlier, one of the sushi chefs and former student of mine paid for our meal as a surprising and much appreciated gesture of gratitude. Thank you.“

“My daughter and I come here twice a week because we absolutely love their food. Sometimes I go even three times a week. Wished they will knowledge you going there so many time and leave always more than 20% tips because I work in a restaurant, they barely say even hi…“

“Because all food are delicious!! Yumi yummy“

“This place is in a small hidden area , very cute and cosy. We had a small lunch ordered a few things . Food is great !! Flavors are so good !! Everything tastes perfect . Only one thing that bothered me was the person who took care of us from start to finish was NOT friendly at all. No hello welcome , I asked her for any recommendations, she just said I don’t know , I asked her for spicy , she said she didn’t have any. I notice that she is also the cook Which is pretty cool , I would have gave her that 5th star but , she is just NOT FRIENDLY !“

“This is the absolute best Thai restaurant in Ventura county! The flavors are crisp, the ingredients fresh and the spice just right to your request. Our favorites are green curry, pan woon sen, larb and pineapple curry. We order Thai closer to us on occasion, but AM Noodle is always the best! And their customer service is top notch!

Kid-friendliness: They are so kind and patient with the kiddos!“

“Tasty food and friendly staff“

“Best California roll ever....“

“Large plate is pretty filling so come hungry. The crab salad is a great add on if you're lookin for more protein. Sauce option: Ponzu + Spicy Mayo + Sriracha = 👌 btw. this place is Keto Friendly“

“I got the lunch bento with katsu and spicy tuna roll. Everything had a delicious flavor, the rice was perfect, and the salad was fresh. My wife is vegetarian and the chef made her an awesome tofu hot stone bowl. The chef was really talented, helpful, and fast. We’ll definitely be returning.“

“I do a lot of take out with this location It's really good everything you order comes out perfectly ready for takeout or dine in this experience is roughly the same which is fantastic for those who appreciate a dish that is put together just as good for take out as if you were there.“

“sushi is delicious!!!!!! Love it ❤“

“Food is delicious🍣 Beer Sopporro is excellent with Sushi. Love Happy Hours Chefs are excellent! Daughter and I love coming here💖“

“Moved to Vegas 25 years ago. Miss 3 things about Oxnard - Family, the beach and Otani’s. Been fortunate to eat in some of the best restaurants in the U.S. I would choose Otani’s Fried Teriyaki Snapper with double rice over any other meal that’s out there. Otani’s was a staple for me growing up and had the fortune of knowing the family. Crave it constantly and go there every day whenever I make it back to town.“
