12 Best Japanese Restaurants in Sherman Oaks

“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.“

“Excellent food with great selection, pleasant atmosphere that allowd a conversation and an excellent server who was prompt and genuinely nice.

Dietary restrictions: Tell them about allergies!

Parking: Parking lot behind the restaurant.

“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.“

“We swung by this pleasant and personable place to satisfy an evening boba fix. We ordered a taro and an original milk tea, both of which were divine. I noticed that many of the ingredients for the various beverages were in plain sight from the counter and were quality, authentic, and fresh. Thanks for the night cap!“

“The best Japanese in Studio City is in Sherman Oaks here.“

“I never leave reviews, but as someone who loves sushi and has eaten at most of the restaurants and hole in the walls in the valley — this place is hands down at the top. The atmosphere isn’t fancy, more casual, but the happy hour deal and the quality of the food is solid. The staff couldn’t be nicer and more lovely. Highly recommend giving it a shot for a casual date night or if you’re craving some solo sushi time :)“

“Truly not enough descriptive words to express the level of freshness, taste and welcoming vibe we experienced at Karma Sushi. Honestly the BEST sushi I’ve had in forever. James and his staff are a 10+ (no exaggeration). They greet you like family and take care of you like only an owner runned business could. I’m hooked and can’t stop eating here!!!! Was just there for Mother’s Day and returning next week to share with a friend. A MUST TRY.“

“I love Kinza. It’s a cute but no pretension type of sushi spot! Their rolls come with 10 pieces (not 8) AND you can order half size rolls even for their specialty rolls which is INCREDIBLE. Very fresh, flavorful, lots of good combos, and service is excellent.

If you can’t find parking on the street, park in the alley behind the restaurant!“

“One of the best sushi spots. We have been coming back because (1) fresh fish every time (2) every meal is delicious (3) friendly staff and customer service and (4) great family friendly ambience. Will be trying their omakase one of these days.“

“They have a great $16 lunch special. Portion on the bowls are huge for the $16. I was the only customer and they made my food fresh. The beef in the beef bowl didn’t have much flavor, I added sriracha on it myself and it got more flavor. I’d probably come back, but the food needs more flavor.“

“My friends brought me here for my birthday for all you can eat. I loved the quality of the sushi even though it was all you can eat. Had some unique selections of sashimi and the waitress was very very attentive and they were quick. We took our time too and there was not a rushed feeling like there is at other all you can eat restaurants“
