50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Porter Ranch

“The food and service was excellent.“

“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.“

“I've been following Jun, the owner, for over twenty years now, and I’m so happy to see them settle into their new spot at White Oak and Sherman Way. It's super convenient, especially with the Korean market right next door.

There are so many sushi places in Los Angeles, but what sets Bar Uerukamu apart is their amazing appetizers and creative drinks. It’s a great spot even for friends who don’t drink straight shochu or aren't big on sushi. Their appetizers are truly unique—not your typical fried gyoza or teriyaki chicken. You can tell there's originality and thought put into the menu. Also all the stuffs are very friendly,sweet and attentive!!“

“Needed a fast, casual, affordable (relative) healthy option for lunch before seeing the Strange Darling matinee at Regal Theater /Sherman Oaks Galleria. Bam! We found it at Hana. I had the teriyaki salmon bowl (crispy delicious salmon, fluffy soft rice) and my bro had chicken katsu plate crispy delicious chicken, fluffy soft rice). Both dishes came with generous portions of fresh veggies. You can eat in on clean tables, or sit in the courtyard under umbrellas. Will definitely come again. If you're looking for high end/fine dining it's probably not your thing. But the food was fresh and tasty and the service was friendly and kind. ?“

“This place hits every time! Prices are reasonable for great food.“

“THIS REVIEW IS FOR TERRYAKI PLUS ON TOPANGA CYN : The best, The bombest, 2nd to none, We henrver family abd friends come into town they always say "what anout that lil Teriyakiplace you took us that one time can we eat there again" (Im sorry but the other terryaki plus ISNT as good)..“

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

“Just had dinner at this restaurant with my two sons. We had Tonkotsu Black, Tonkotsu Shoyu and Teriyaki Chicken Bento. Service was prompt, prices were good and the food was delicious. I didn't know we had good quality Ramen in Santa Clarita. We'll be back for sure.“

“I recently visited the PokiTomik in my neighborhood, and I couldn’t be more impressed! The experience was delightful from start to finish. The staff greeted me with warm smiles and were incredibly helpful in guiding me through their menu options.

I decided to try the poki tacos, and they were absolutely amazing! The combination of fresh ingredients and flavorful sauces made each bite a delicious experience. The tacos were perfectly crafted, showcasing the vibrant and fresh flavors that this restaurant is known for.

The atmosphere was welcoming and clean, making it an ideal spot for a quick lunch or relaxed dinner. It's wonderful to have such a high-quality, healthy dining option so close to home. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of their menu!“

“Genuinely the best Katsu I've had in the valley, only thing I'd change is offering macaroni salad. But the sides it came with were DELICIOUS and the serving size was amazing for the price. Will definitely be going back to try everything else.“

“I love this place , honestly the most delicious ramen I’ve ever had .. been coming here for about 2 years and I can’t get enough of it .. staff is honestly great ! Super nice ! The atmosphere is calm ☺️ and no one is Hurrying u to finish your food . I really recommend this place .. sometimes it does get full because is super small but I don’t mind waiting ? most I waited was 10 mns“

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

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

“It's one of my favorite places in all of SCV! The staff are all so friendly, and the dining area is always clean! Good drink options, great food options, and amazing prices! Especially if you get the lunch special combo. The option to do split protein type and split rice/ vegetables is so nice to mix up your meal. You can also order any of the proteins over a salad, which is a great opportunity. My go-to is hands down the half chicken and half beef with half white rice and half steamed veggies. They have good gyoza too, and all my friends say the sushi is fantastic. I only wish there were more locations!

Parking: Large parking lot, but busy during lunch and dinner hours“

“Omg it was so nice to come back here JUST for Teriyaki Ya. The number 2 is to die for. Best beef skewers if had.

Only gripe is the place is small and hot as f***. Hope they expand and make a better dining area.

Parking: Park in the back. Way easier.“

“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!“

“Nice intimate dinner spot for friends or a date. I ordered the Bento box dinner combo with 3 sides for around $30 a person. (Depends on how many premium sides you pick. Sushi is a few bucks more) Comes with miso soup, salad, and steamed rice. I chose the salmon teriyaki, salmon avocado roll, and golden crunch roll. Fresh fish and hot soup. Overall 10/10 value and flavor. ✨️

Vegetarian options: Vegan ramen and sushi available.

Parking: Turn right to enter the parking garage
There's also more parking on the second level.“

“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.“

“I obsoletely recommend it even tho I have tons of sushi spots where I live (Fairfax district) we drive over an hr to come eat here great food but the atmosphere is great they treat you like you've been a regular for years (we barely found out about this place) they are all super friendly and fun love this place.“

“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!“

“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 ❤️“

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

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

“The food is so yummy. We ordered the chicken and steak with veggies and rice plate and the tofu with veggies and rice bowl. Similar to Wa$a with better quality meats and much better customer service.

Kid-friendliness: My kid loves it.“

“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!“

“Okay?get ready! This is a killer 5-star Hibachi restaurant! Hibachi is just ? ???The rice is not overcooked and fried perfectly, the steak is always from good pieces of meat without sinews,portions are huge? this is the most tasty and delicious Hibachi I have ever been eating!

The food is consistently fresh, great portions and delicious.
The service is always great, friendly and always available

The koi pond at the entrance is awesome“

“I was pleasantly supprised by this place. I came in here when i was passing through the area and was feeling a little hungry. While there appeared to be other food options in the area, I decided to give this place a try.I ordered their beef dish with noodles. It was a little pricey and they did charge me a fee for using my card. But when the food finally came, it was really good. Very flavorful and quite a big portion. The meat wasn't all gnarly either, which is always a concern when ordering beef.One thing to keep in mind is that their menu in not that big.They did say that they've been open for about 4 months or so. I hope that this place makes it. There were not a lot of customers in here when I visited. They do seem to be more of a carryout type place though. And I also visited in the morning when it first opened.Overall, this place does have a few minor flaws, but the food is good quality and the portions are pretty large.“

“Roll Roll is an absolute gem! From the moment we stepped inside, the service was warm and welcoming. We were invited to choose our own seats, and within moments, waters and complimentary miso soup were brought to the table—a lovely gesture.

The food was served incredibly quickly, and every dish was a delight. The garlic edamame was bursting with flavor, the ginger house salad was perfectly balanced, and the cucumber salad was light and refreshing. My California roll with smelt egg was spot on, and the avocado roll was equally fantastic.

The prices were very reasonable, especially for the quality and location in LA. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!“

“This is a great place to get a boba tea and a quick bite to eat. I'll definitely be back to check out more! Nice friendly staff. Check it out!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“Came in kinda early (to beat the rush this place is always packed) was seated right away so I ordered for take out. Havent got my food yet, but I am salivating for the meal to come. My hostess/server was very polite and laughed at my corny jokes with a serious bellow and I couldnt tell if she thought I was funny or was her sense of humor as skewed as mine. At any rate she is wonderful and very professional. If I still had my restaurant I would poach her in a heartbeat! Always great fish and noodles.“

“Service was very good.👍🏻 Spicy Pork was the best but for Kimchi soup in my opinion it's not as good as I thought (only in my opinion but my husband likes it). A bit pricey but worth it!We'll come back again for Spicy Pork 💯% 👍🏻“

“Got Yoshinoya coupon? Enjoy a meal for two! The deal is so worth it. We got combo meals with Tokyo fried chicken, which is so yummy and crunchy, chicken teriyaki, and original beef. And the steamed veggies are a must. It's a complete meal!“
