15 Best Japanese Restaurants near Santa Paula

“We had dinner here recently and the service was amazing. My husband and I ordered two combination boxes and the waiter accidently input our ordered wrong. He added an additional item we didnt order, he was very apologetic and gave us the item on the house. We discovered we love scallops and tuna. Im not a big seafood person. I usually stick to the basic California rolls. When I tell you this plate was amazing, you best believe we ate all of it! Thank you to the amazing server for showing us kindness ❤️ we will definitely be returning to discover new items on the menu!“

“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.“

“5 out of 5 overall. I had a really hearty meal. I had the Pork Katsudon with side of Shrimp Tempura and a drink. I spent $40 including tip, not cheap but that’s everywhere in Califonia. lol! The meal was really good, i left full and satisfied. Thanks!“

“Always amazing! We have been going to Yomama since 2009. Some of the best quality sushi/sashimi around! And you definitely can't beat the service. The wife/husband combo that run the restaurant are the sweetest and so fun! If you are a sushi lover, it's a must try!“

“Very nice date I had w my husband. We both enjoyed and loved it here, we both said this will be our to go place for sushi. You get soup and a salad to start with I believe that's part of the service because we didn't order it lol so u do get what you pay for. Good portions and a very good place to go to. Nice and quiet just how we like it for a dinner date so we are able to talk and have conversations but not to quiet as well.“

“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.“

“Love the food and service! Please update the chairs...mine felt unsteady. Please clean the bathroom, and paint the place. Trade out the disgusting ceiling panels, and lastly, launder the dirty cloth hanging between bathroom and seating area. The condition of restaurant is seriously jeopardizing customer experience and trust that all is sanitary. Please do this soon for the sake of your prosperity.“

“Definitely a go to restaurant for me and my partner that never has a wait. The food is always outstanding with the servers doing an amazing job if you do need to get a server you just click a button and they arrive! Definitely gives a mom pop type of restaurant. So if that’s your style you will definitely love this spot!“

“I'm truly grateful to have finally found something that worked. For years, I believed like everyone else that herpes had no real cure. After trying so many things with no results, I came across "Dr MOMOH" and everything changed. It's a relief to feel normal again after all this time.💃💃“

“Average sushi but I definitely will continue to go there as an option. The “ex-girlfriend roll” is great!! I do take out though, they charge automatic gratuity for dine in which infuriates me! And the dine in service isn’t very good.“
