12 Best Japanese Restaurants in Sherman Oaks

“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!“

“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!!“

“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 🙏“

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

“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.“

“BOIIIII I GOT WHAT I DESERVED 😂😂😂me and da bois were looking for the nes for Nintendo switch ts place was phenomenon and next was a barber shop that was a quarter so me and the city bois got no menu but we got what me deserved definitely a five out of five😂“

“Fresh fish and seafood, the restaurant is run by the owner. I've ordered many things on the menu, and nothing has ever disappointed me. From miso soup to chicken teriyaki plate, to skewers and appetizers - everything is delicious! They also have draft Sapporo and White Yuzu. With all that, the prices are very reasonable. My favorite mid-budget sushi place on Ventura blvd.“

“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 :)“

“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!“

“This Location is stingy with the Teriyaki (they only give you one small sauce, not a regular branded one) and the parking is not the best but you should be able to find a spot. BUT they're not stingy with the chicken which is awesome. If they always give you the amount I got, it's 5 stars forsure. Gluten free like most the locations which makes TMad overall a 5 star establishment.“

“Ive been twice and got korean fried chicken each time. The chicken is reallyyyyyy juicy, like juices dripping when you bite into it. I accidently got the tenders instead of wings and they were STILL juicy. I enjoyed it both times, really hit the spot and portions sizes are good. One small thing is that theres a lot of sauce at the bottom of the bag, like it doenst stick to the chicken. Perfect for me tho bc I dont like too much sauce. Good spot!“

“First time here and was taken care of making sure I understood the all you can eat..sushi was good quality, service was on point.. only thing I didnt like was the drinks.. they dont have fountain drinks, u have to buy a can of coke everytime...as much as u pay unlimited soft drinks would be nice too....$36 per person for AYCE during lunch time“
