Japanese Restaurants near San Fernando

“Food, service, and atmosphere are great. Staff is very nice. Food comes out pretty fast. I've tried the heart attack, dynamite roll, fire roll, rainbow roll, vegas roll, lakers roll, and their bento box. They are all good. Plenty of parking. 6-8 dining tables (seats 4 per table) so it's a small place but worth trying it.“

“The young girl at the register who helped us is one of the nicest people I have ever come across while eating out. She was so pleasant, helpful and upbeat that I had to look around and make sure I was still in LA/North Valley. That girl has a future above and beyond Teriyaki Madness. I also really enjoyed my meal. The order was made correctly, the food was fresh and tasty. The atmosphere is very no-fills but it’s a fast casual dining restaurant so it was as expected.“

“I go here way too much, I think the cashier thinks I like her... but sadly, she underestimates the power of affordable and delicious Japanese takeout. I mean, she's cute, but I'm legit hungry and don't want anything else from you“

“Everything was amazing from the service to the food and sushi and the environment is unassuming and comfortable. Top notch!“

“The sushi fish was fresh, and the sushi rice was delicious! As someone who frequents sushi bars in LA for some nigiri and hot tea, Chiba has the best ambiance and best tasting nigiri sushi.

My favorite was the mackerel, yellowtail, and unagi.

I've also ordered donburi here, and it comes very close to the donburi I had in Japan.

Been coming to Chiba for years now. Hands down it's my favorite sushi spot for nigiri in LA.

Excellent service. Totally polite. 💖 There are purse hooks under the sushi counter.

Boom. 5 stars.“

“The sushi was on point. I had a caterpillar roll. The ingredients were fresh and I was full from the size of the roll! Also, it was quite a deal too as I had dinner on a Wednesday. Currently, Monday through Friday the restaurant is offering 20% off.“

“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‼︎“

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

“We ordered the Volcano Roll, the Shrimp Tempura Crunch, and the Spicy Tuna Tempura. We didn’t care for the Spicy Tuna Tempura roll, and when we let our waitress know, she was very understanding and took it off the bill. The service overall was great. The restaurant is small but cute, and we would definitely return.“

“Salmon Ikura dish is amazing! So much flavor!“

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

“Loooove this place so much. One of our favorite neighborhood places. Laid back, with delicious food and wonderful staff.

We love the steamed chicken gyoza, the cut sushi rolls, and the sashimi bowls. The chicken katsu Don is AMAZING, as is the zaru soba and the curry katsu rice bowl.

Much easier to get in for lunch, though we usually go for dinner. It’s a small space and you put your name on a list for a table upon arrival, so show up with your whole party to be seated. Street parking is usually easier than trying to valet.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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 🙏“

“I've been eating here for over 30 years and I love it every time. The people, the food and the feeling of home keep me coming 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!“

“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.“

“Hadasa (sorry if I spelled it wrong) made our first impression wonderful she was patient during the rush and went over the menu with us
We will definitely come back if there’s service like that ! We loved the Birria ramen! Thank you“

“Reall bomb sushi rolls were the yellowtail and spicy tuna roll. Wow. Our waiters suggestions didn't disappoint and only impressed us with the high quality of flavor from this restaurant. Would go here again and ambience is very romantic“

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

“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 asked my son where he wanted to go out for a special dinner, and he Sake Sake, I was like dang that's going to be a $100, but it has been a favorite of ours for 10+ years, and worth it for a special night out. Sushi is delish, including the mackerel susshi and yellowtail sashimi. Service is great as always, and the chefs seemed to be Japanese, as my son was able to understand what they were saying.“

“Stopped by this sushi joint, I’d seen it on Google and wanted to try it for a while.

I got seated and had my order taken quickly. My choices were the Dragon Roll and Philly Roll. Both tasted great. They do a great job on the rice and the fish was top notch as well.

They delivered everything I wanted and the service was friendly too.“

“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 food and service was excellent.“

“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!“

“I went before the dinner rush. I was sat at the bar. I was actually very appreciative that I was asked if I wanted ginger and wasabi before just serving. I never eat it so I was glad I wasn’t just wasting some. Both the appetizer and the meal were well portioned but light. Fish tasted fresh! Presentation was great.“

“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.“

“I have passed this place many times on my way home and wanted to try it. Last night I finally ordered through UberEats for the first time, and let me tell you, I was VERY impressed by how everything was packaged with care to prevent broth for my ramen spilling and from my sushi being crushed. I ordered the Spicy Seafood ramen bowl which was delicious! And I got a California roll because of its reasonable price and being a classic. Everything was very good and well kept to ensure a positive first experience. The portions are perfect for if you're very hungry and want to indluge or if you just need a little pick-me-up and want to have leftovers for later. I will definitely be giving Kita my business regularly. 😋“

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

“Foods are good, environment is quiet, the service seemed a bit slow because only one to two person serve the whole restaurant as one of them took order, serving and being a cashier at the same time. I went on Halloween day so not sure if regular day would be the same. I got second tiers AYCE and the wagyu is so good.“

“The best yellow tail Nelly sushi ever“

“Delicious food, and the restaurant is always packed. You’ll have a better chance to get seats at the bar. Great sushi, hot pots are incredible, but rolls are on the mediocre side. Service is a bit slow but we didn’t wait too long. Will definitely come back.“

“This place is the Go-To spot for sushi.. always fresh and delicious 😋“

“Please keep supporting this Business. Its very well priced and the fish on the Sushii is very good size compared to Lots other establishments who charge more and give you significantly smaller size. We've been watching past 3 - 4 now that trend, when were out of area or sometimes convenience of time and we tried other places, some we still vist But only get the rolls cause their sushii fish portion is ridiculous.
We've drive 25 mins. and been going here for bout 26 years, seen owner change but Masa (the Chef) still same.
Its your money, if you want great Sushii at good price.“

“I’ve been coming here for the last couple decades staff are all very friendly, and the food is always very tasty. Their happy hour Monday deals are fantastic.“
