50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Porter Ranch

“The food and service was excellent.“

“I really enjoyed dining at Taisho Sushi! The yellowtail serrano was perfectly balanced with just the right spice, and the salmon dry miso was incredibly flavorful and fresh. The presentation and service were both excellent — definitely one of my favorite sushi spots in town. Highly recommend!“

“Great service and food💗 There are many alcohol menus and food items that other restaurants do not have, and the restaurant is not too big, so you can enjoy a relaxing, calm and stylish time. There is plenty of space for parking, and I would definitely go back‼︎“

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

“Everything is delicious, made with love❤️ Clean, elegant, and delicious🤩😋 Friendly, helpful staff🌹“

“If there’s one thing I love, it’s teriyaki plus. This restaurant is so inconspicuous and a sleeper hit of the area. It’s charming and the food is well priced and so flavorful. We got the katsu bowl, the gyoza and chicken kabobs. All perfect. I can’t quite explain why this place is so cute and charming but as soon as you step inside you can feel that you’re walking in to your new favorite restaurant.“

“Amazing fresh old school sushi ❤️❤️❤️❤️. The owner is so friendly and knowledgeable and it’s now my happy place!“

“If you're reading reviews wondering if you should try this place. Waste no more time just go ahead and order, you won’t regret it.

I’ve been eating at Roll Roll since around 2018. They never miss. At least not in my experience. Originally my wife and I found this place on yelp because it already had good reviews and amazing prices. We usually order a Party Tray for special occasions and it’s become a favourite tradition of ours, however we also like dining in because the employees have always been incredibly kind and accommodating Even now in 2026, when everything has gotten so expensive, they still provide good quality food and better quality service for a good price. You can’t ask for more honestly.“

“I’ve always loved coming here for their teriyaki chicken bowls, but now they’ve also won me over with their new Okinawa Matcha Cloud drinks!

The staff is always friendly and the food is consistently fresh. Highly recommend this spot!! Best matcha I’ve ever had!!“

“Luv Ramen is seriously one of my favorite spots. The broth is so rich and comforting, and you can tell everything’s made with care. The noodles are perfect every time, and the staff are always super friendly and welcoming. It’s the kind of place that just feels good to be in. I’m already craving my next bowl!“

“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.“

“Great quality sushi , daughter loves the chicken yakisoba (incase you have people in your group that don’t eat sushi) they have great options for everyone.. The restaurant is always extremely clean and the service top notch! Highly recommended“

“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!“

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

“Really good food fresh and the ramen is soooooo yummy“

“I love eating here! The service is always so awesome. I love that it's tucked away, and every time I've brought someone to eat here they don't expect that the restaurant is here. As for the food, it's DELICIOUS! My son is picky, and even he couldn't deny how good the food is. The ramen is amazing, it's so good and the portions are hearty. I usually end up getting a ramen combo with a chashu bowl. Now, I get to eat there AND have delicious leftovers. My family have tried other ramen places around and we keep coming back to Futaba because it's number one in our eyes. The flavor is always on point. Definitely recommend.“

“This is our go-to sushi restaurant. The food never disappoints. The service is very friendly.“

“This place for years has been my all time favorite. The service is unbelievably fast, welcoming and of top notch and respectful. The food is always fresh and the chefs you
Can tell are very passionate on what they do and the hold the Japanese craft to a high regard. I spoke to the manager he carries himself with his culture and pride very high. He is so incredibly kind and respectful. The restaurant really is a sight to behold and truly a gem in the United States. I drive an hour there without hesitation. As far as I’m concerned there is no place like it. Until next time 🙏“

“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!“

“Love Jo&Go Sushi. They saved me when we first moved to LA and while the house was being remodeled.

4 years later... it's still as good as first discovered. It's a neighborhood gem inside the Korean Greenland Mrkt, which btw, is also awesome.

Must try is the salmon bowl, the salmon slices are so tender and buttery... they give you a crazy amount of salmon over the rice and seriously it's enough to have a 2nd meal! One note about the bowl... I'm not a fan of drenching really good cooked rice with sauce, so I always order without the sauce. The rice is not sushi rice which makes it even more delicious... the rice is always perfectly cooked. You get a miso soup and a cute little container of pickled radish (delish). I would love to know where they source the fish... it's like being in Japan, it's so fresh.

I'll be catering with them soon and happy to update the review post order.

The kind woman who takes the order is so sweet and cute, always smiling...says hi and bye all the time.

If you're in the area, definitely give it a try for takeaway.“

“Brothers Sushi is a must. Make a reservation and you can’t go wrong with anything you order.“

“Been coming here for decades still my favorite.“

“Traditional Japanese izekaya. Daily specials. A definite must try.“

“I found out about hungry ninja on door dash a few months ago and have been hooked ever since. Portions are great, food is made with love and tastes amazing, and most of all the customer service is great. If you are in the chatsworth area and looking for good teriyaki this is the place I would go to!“

“OMG. I cannot believe I only went there last week after going to so many other places over the last 25 years
This place is a cut above the test!!
Fresh fresh fresh. And delicious
It’s at the top of my list. There are only a few other for quality like this !!!!“

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

“One of my favorite places for bento boxes! Everything is so fresh and delicious. The staff is very friendly and you can tell they care about their customers.

Please be patient, sometimes they get a little busy but always worth the wait! I will definitely keep coming back.“

“I always stop here on roadtrips and it’s a solid place for affordable, healthy food. The chicken salad is my go-to and it’s always fresh with plenty of chicken. The facilities are also very clean and the staff is friendly - highly recommend!“

“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.“

“I had an amazing experience at Beto’s Tepanyaki! The service was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and fast. The chefs are truly skilled.

I ordered the New York Steak and Chicken Bowl, cooked medium-rare, and it was absolutely delicious! The steak was tender and juicy, while the chicken was flavorful and perfectly grilled. The portion size was generous, and every bite was packed with amazing flavor.

If you’re looking for great food, excellent service, and a fun dining experience, Beto’s Tepanyaki is the place to go. Highly recommend!“

“Honestly, I would give more stars if I could. The ambiance and restaurant itself was very elegant but cozy. Every dish we tried was incredible, we started with appetizers the crispy rice with tuna was cooked to perfection as well as the cucumber and avocado salad, which was delicious and flavorful.
Some of my FAVORITES included the yellowtail and jalepenos which i would highlyyy recommend. The Jessica Roll was absolutely to die for and melted in your mouth. We had a few other rolls including the lemon roll and fantasy roll while also grabbing the salmon and yellowtail belly.
Everything was super fresh and flavorful. I would highly recommend stopping by here whether it be with friends to catch up or your significant other for a date.“

“The menu is unique and named creatively, which I found charming. The food was well-made, and made in ample time. The service was amazing and the cashier walked me through the process, being very nice the whole time. The roll I ordered and the tea were delicious, and I'd love to come by again soon.“

“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!“

“Had a wonderful meal. The chef was awesome and interactive“

“I was really indecisive about what I wanted to eat tonight. This is my first time trying this place and let me tell you, it’s the best hibachi I’ve had tbh. My regular spot is usually in Hollywood but definitely switching to this place. Everything cooked well and seasoned just right.“

“The best yellow tail Nelly sushi ever“

“Excellent food 🥘! Always hot and fresh. A treat every time.“

“One of the very best Japanese restaurants in the city. Reasonable prices and home style Japanese food. Worth the wait. Come early.“

“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“

“Excelente...muy buena atención y la comida muy buena, lo recomiendo...“

“Wow! If you like great sushi, great service, and great ambiance - you have to check out Yume in Calabasas! This is my third time coming back and hands down it’s the best sushi my friends and I have had. I haven’t been to the Studio City location yet, but from what I hear…same same. I wish I took some pictures! The presentation is awesome. 😊🍣😋“

“Absolutely delicious, juicy and filling. The sushi had this fresh glossy look and texture. It was not dry. The green tea came in a large mug. Not necessarily cheap, but not overpriced. Will definitely be back. (3 rolls, 2 green tea, and seaweed salad was $60)“

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

“I picked up the miso to hold me over till dinner and the soup is great! I think the awesome service is what stands out to me the most, though. Thank you chefs! I’ll be back to try the steak!“

“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!!“

“Well established & maintained restaurant. Very clean & with convenient seating/dine-in area (up to 16-18 guests by tables & chairs combined). Great quality food, easy & professional service, a great option for lunch, dinner, or brunch options if looking for healthy appetizers or entrees. Recommended to all who look for affordable & available restaurant options as this being of my top 3.

Vegetarian options: Vast, diverse, & clearly indicated by options. If asking questions they restaurant workers can answer or help with accommodations.

Parking: Over 20-40 total spots for the lot

Kid-friendliness: Convenient pricing for portion sizes with 2 kids meal types for those ages 12 and under.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible level entrance, signaling the associates or workers will allow the persons with wheelchairs to receive assistance, along with easy access to leveled tables.“

“Don’t hear the snowflakes that put 1 star, this place is literally goat tier. The food is simple but is an absolute 10, that chicken teriyaki is glorious and they always put a good amount of sauce. Also their sriracha mayo is nice to combine with your food. Highly recommended.“

“Ive been coming here for 30 years, since I was a kid. I moved away from the area and havent been back in over ten years, but it was one of the gems I was looking forward to visiting, if it was still standing. To my absolute delight, the Teriyaki Masudaya is still standing! I had the pleasure of stopping by last week to eat my favorite there, their house plate with beef, chicken, and prawn alongside a salad with their signature dressing.. and I was so happy to find that the recipes have been passed down from the original owners, tastes just as good as I remember. Always a lovely management/staff as well. Thank you TM for still standing when so many others have fallen. You are a symbol of my childhood and I plan to keep coming back. 😊❤️“

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

“I ordered chicken teriyaki bowls with no veggies to go. They have a bunch of sauces you can choose from. I tried the orange, bulgogi, and the teriyaki sauces. I liked the bulgogi the most and my son liked the teriyaki sauce the most. The customer service was great, they were very patient with me when I had to change my order due to someone else. I think next time I will add veggies and try some more sauces and meats. The place looked clean and the staff was nice. I will definitely come again and I'm glad it's near my house“
