At first glance, there was nothing special going on. The decor was clean, simple and casual. It was also more expensive, especially for a Van Nuys location. But the servings had good size and freshness, not to mention chefy garnishes here and there. I was also pleasantly surprised when they had my coveted favorite, Sea Urchin!I’ll be back. This is now my go to Sushi place! ????❤️?

This was my first time here, we were welcomed with opened arms and seated right away. The food as well as the service was exemplary and we felt like we were a priority. The music selection as well as the ambiance was wonderful. 10/10 would come here again.

Good food would of gave it a 5 , online it says there open until 9:30 so I walked over happily getting there on time by around 8:30/8:40 , but unfortunately they shut me down and said they were closed while others where dinning in , I guess they are to busy or didn't want to work no more ,it was upsetting while I was hungry, please fix your work hours on Yelp or online for future inconveniences thank you , I'm not sure if I'll be coming back ,but food was great and the place was welcoming thank you I appreciate stopping by

Probably the most underrated sushi place in the Valley. They have a good menu and a variety of sushi along with some exotics if you ask the head chef that day. They also have a Korean sub-menu if you dine in and ask the wait staff. It's become our standard celebrate a birthday or something place, and they throw in extras all the time if you order a decent size bill.

BEST!! Sushi place in Sherman Oaks. Cute decor and the food and service were both top tier. You can tell the staff loves what they do here. Will definitely be coming back. The prices are also unbeatable for what you get!

What a gem of a Japanese spot tucked away in Sherman oaks. The menu features an eclectic mix of Japanese, chinese, and Korean items. I think of it as a Japanese restaurant that also has the best Korean and Chinese dishes on the menu so you can have it all! Never have to debate where to go for dinner again! We tried the chirashi bowl, sushi set, and Korean mixed rice. Everything was absolutely delicious and the portion sizes are very generous. Service was quick and courteous. Interior is low key but modern and clean. Parking in the back or in the neighborhood. We had a great dining experience here!

Went here with a group of friends to try it out. Place was decorated really nicely & had some really good music playing as well. We got 6 rolls and everything tasted delicious and the server was really nice and offered great service. Feels like a good hole in the wall kind of place!

Really delicious sushi, the bento box and rolls are both tasty. The black tiger roll is what I will strongly recommend. The service is even better. Will come again if have chance.

O Sumo, I never knew! Well not since well before 2022. I haven't set foot in my (more recent years) very own neighborhood Sushi Bar in over 5 maybe even 6 years O.O... But finally did this week of this year and was I ever happy to enjoy a lavish lunch here. I'm talking HUGE!! My friend Steven was visiting his family for the weekend, a former SFV local and always sushi bar enthusiast. We decided on the O-mazing O in the Oaks, a great place to go. Open daily for lunch, happy hour (5PM - 7PM) and dinner (until 9PM/930PM most nights). They do close for change over between 330PM and 430PM, but open as early as 1130 during the week (much later on weekends). You can find street parking as well as limited parking in their back lot where you can also partake in patio seating. The street (Van Nuys Blvd) curves slightly here, just up from Van Nuys Blvd/Magnolia Blvd (above the Acura dealership and nextdoor to Off The Charts + Elevation Bar & Lounge). Sumo inside has so many places to sit (many tables w/ chairs of course), including at the bar seats and all it's first come first serve (you choose your own adventure aka seating). The menu is massive and it's hard not to eat with your eye as they have pictures of most items, especially if popular. I knew what I could get here (lots of plant-based, vegetarian and vegan friendly eats), but it seems they've added a bit more in the last few seasons and cycles since their very first review back in 2005... Though I believe a change majorly occurred 2019 (new management/revamp/social media - Instagram & more). We receive complimentary miso soups + cucumber salads + shishito peppers in addition to our orders... The table was FULL of food (for just us two lol)! Steven's Lunch Special Combo (Chef's choice sashimi + 10 piece + salad) and my Japanese Veg Mapa/Mapo Tofu (the best I've ever had) + avocado roll + rice for two. Needless to say this vegan and his non-vegan friend scored a win! We took our time, enjoyed the decor, each others company and ambiance. Splitting the bill for our birthdays (Steve's the day after and mine a few days ago) and toasting to the holidays, not to mention our amazing server who packed up our many leftovers was the perfect return trip, more than worthy of a great tip! Would consider doing a pick up order - living less than half a mile away and enjoying again with friends as well as family. Huge portions, huge quality and huge customer service!!
