48 Best Japanese Restaurants near Stevenson Ranch

“FRESH FRESH FRESH
My husband and I were extremely taken care of when we came to eat here. It was our first time today but definitely not our last. We sat at the bar and the chef was amazing. We tried the Kit Roll and it was phenomenal. It was the perfect amount of spicy level too. The vibes where awesome, we will for sure be back for more!!“

“My husband was craving Teppanyaki so we came to Yamato on a Saturday night and it was pretty crowded but since we really just wanted the food and didn’t necessarily want to see the “show” we were seated pretty quickly at a nice spacious booth. The servers were very friendly and attentive. We got the hibachi steak and shrimp and the hibachi steak and scallops which were both delicious. The fried rice was extremely flavorful and the portions are generous. The side of veggies was absolutely amazing. The price point is also very good. Some teppanyaki restaurants are extremely overpriced and Yamato is priced fairly especially for how much food you get. The atmosphere is fun and lively and perfect for celebrating birthdays, graduations, etc.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly atmosphere. High noise level for babies but very fun and lively for littles.“

“Good food and service. I enjoyed it.“

“Wow! I mean like really wow. This place is fantastic! I have had poké in just about every city in Los Angeles and this place is on point with the best! Super fresh, big servings, great price and what a wonderful welcome! The man working there, his name is Danny. He had me laughing the whole time. Felt like being at home with friends! Thank you PF! You are my new spot!“

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

“Hole in the wall teriyaki place. You order at the counter, you pick up your food, you clean up your own table after eating. Easy free parking lot or street parking. They have a lunch special for $11.95 that includes chicken and rice with salad. They also have specials A, B, C and D that are around the $15 to $20 price range. I had the special C that had white rice, a big piece of chicken katsu, two pieces of chicken teriyaki, salad, two small onion rings and two dumplings for about $15.95. Not a bad value. You get a teriyaki sauce and hot sauce on the side. Their teriyaki sauce is very good here! The serving is very generous. I was not about to finish it in one sitting.“

“If you have an avocado allergy, Tokyo Sushi is a tough spot. 46 of their 50 rolls include avocado!

But that's my problem, not theirs. We went for the chef's choice sushi sampler and the bulgogi plate. While the cuts on the sushi weren't super precise, and our entrees came out 10 minutes apart (I feel like that's not uncommon when ordering sushi and hot food), and our tea pot was kind of rusty... It's still probably one of the better sushi spots in Simi Valley. I haven't tried them all, but I've tried quite a few.

The building helps; it's this low-ceiling, square room decked out with wood, surrounding a large sushi bar. And the servers were all very friendly. Clearly there are a lot of regulars here.

Tokyo Sushi is not perfect, but it's very good, and I'll definitely keep it in mind when I want sushi!“

“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!“

“Izakaya has some of the best quality fish in Simi Valley. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“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!“

“I am super pleased to have dine-in today at MUKGO!

I ordered the Hawaiian roll, lobster rolls and udon soup and let me tell you, everything I ate tasted phenomenal!!

The service was great and I honestly enjoyed the atmosphere a lot. I am super happy with the quality of rolls and soup and I am sure going to be stoping by more often whenever I am in the area for work.

Thank you MUKGO staff for the wonderful food !! 🙏🏼😊“

“I found out about hungry ninja on door dash a few months ago and have been hooked ever since. Portions are great, food is made with love and tastes amazing, and most of all the customer service is great. If you are in the chatsworth area and looking for good teriyaki this is the place I would go to!“

“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!“

“The food and service was excellent.“

“Absolutely delicious! You should definitely stop by if you're in the area. The food was impeccable. I ordered the Tonkotsu Black Garlic Ramen and it was packed with flavor. The pork had a good ratio of meat to fat an awesome taste, the noddle were cooked to perfection for good texture, the broth was exploding with flavor. I also ordered the fresh water eel, yellowtail, and the salmon. All very fresh.
The prices were very affordable too. Give this spot a try.“

“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!“

“The best yellow tail Nelly sushi ever“

“We had both sushi and ramen. The sushi was VERY good, nice cuts and plentiful! The ramen was very tasty, slightly smoky flavor. Will definitely be coming back“

“fast and excellent service 👌“

“Great atmosphere - fresh sushi - amazing service . For sure best sushi in SCV! Ranking up with sushi from Hawaii !!“

“So good!! Better than Hungry Ninja in every single way and form. Literally eating here at least twice a week.

The meat quality is amazing and it’s literally enough food to have almost 2 meals out of. Best rice plate, bowl spot in SCV!!“

“Always good sushi chef Ian is awesomeness“

“Food is decent and portions are fair, but it didn't really stand out. Some rolls were good, while others felt just average. Service was okay and the place is clean, but nothing really made it memorable. Not bad, but not somewhere I'd go out of my way for either.“

“***EXPERIENCE 1*** (Positive) 08/26/25

On this occasion, the man working the counter had a very pleasant demeanor. I ordered the Hamburger Cutlet, and my Mom got the Pork Cutlet. You get a complete meal. Both cutlets came with a side of shredded cabbage, and sides of Miso Soup, Takuan, Rice, and a dipping/topping sauce. The presentation was very nice, the cutlets were placed on grill plates so they don't sit in grease which is great. I tasted some of the Pork Cutlet and it was crunchy, tender, and juicy. My Hamburger Cutlet was the same, and it was pure meat patty, no fillers here. Overall, dining here is a great value. You get restaurant quality food at a reasonable price. And, customer service was excellent. The gentleman working the counter really was extremely nice and was a big factor in our positive dining experience.“

“The food here is great because it taste fresh. The service is great. The owners are pleasant but not overly engaging. They are very prompt to pick up dirty dishes and refill drinks. The Tepan chefs are talented and funny! We go here often and the leftovers are fantastic.“

“Nice and great services, very good options and super fun cooking.“

“First time here and it did not disappoint! Food was delicious, tried several different rolls and all of them were good, the presentation was also great! Friendly staff and the prices were extremely reasonable compared to other place. I will definitely be back“

“Very nice ambient and friendly waiters“

“This is an outstanding Sushi bar. Out of all the sushi bars in Santa Clarita Valley, this one is just a different level of quality. Their sushi rolls are simple and traditional, with excellent portions. This spot is consistently not just good but GREAT every time.“

“Amazing everytime The Red Eye is the bomb 🍣🍤“

“Nice place Delicious Fresh food Many menu Friendly“

“Walked in and was immediately greeted, the food came out pretty quick and was so delicious and flavorful. I got some extra teriyaki sauce and some chili sauce. The only negative thing I would have to say is that the floors looked pretty dirty, but I did show up about an hour before they close. When I was leaving they acknowledged me and said "have a blessed day" ? I guess it's the little things for me.“

“Definitely needs a higher rating. Cause the sushi here was phenomenal! I mean the taste and quality was just truly amazing. We had the flaming salmon roll. The salmon just melted in your mouth. It had crab in it as well and it didn’t over power it. It blended so nicely together. Then there was a special that the chef made. It was so good. Meant to ask what he puts in it. But it was so delicious. Staff is so friendly and fun loving. They have such a good atmosphere and the service was truly great. We even had their house cold-sake. It was so good. The best part of whole experience was just how affordable it was! Definitely give this place a try.“

“I used to go here as a kid but it was Japanese, but the new Korean cuisine was top tier the food was good, service, and probably the best atmosphere I've witnessed highly recommend if your around the area looking for Korean cuisine to eat with family or friends. 👍👌“

“This location has a great staff, they work well together and the food tastes hot and fresh. But the negatives are that it's difficult to find parking when the lot is full. It's a very busy location with many eateries and shops. Plus this store is small. They were busy and it felt very cramped. Also there aren't many tables for seniors or the disabled. There are only two available. The rest of the tables are too high and have stools. Not good for someone with bad knees, like myself.“

“Incredible food, great service in a very nice atmosphere. Unassuming, but well crafted with care right in front of you. Very small restaurant with only 7 seats, and reservations are required since he is booked months in advance. Already have my next reservation on the books!“

“We were visiting from out of state and we're SO happy we visited here! Awesome and fresh sushi, kind service, and FABULOUS prices that seem unbeatable anywhere else in the area. We each got two special rolls for less than $30 and we all loved our choices. Worth a visit or three!!“

“Everything....A+++++. Clean and the food for take out was great!“

“Super high quality fish, great food all around. Staff are super friendly and nice. Highly recommend.“

“Had a great experience at I Love Sushi! The decor was beautiful — modern, clean, and created a relaxing dining atmosphere. I ordered the bento box, and it was fresh, well-portioned, and delicious.

Service was friendly and efficient, and everything came out quickly. Definitely a spot I’d come back to for good food and a comfortable vibe!“

“O Sushi is our family’s favorite! Long time sushi lovers, we’ve been to many different restaurants over the years, and consider O’s one of the best. Their tuna tataki tops all! 😍“

“Fast and courteous service! Good selection of food!“

“Mr. Sushi exceeded our expectations!

We were able to make dinner reservations for our party of nine, and they accommodated us perfectly right at 6:30. Our table was already set up and waiting when we arrived, which made everything feel smooth and welcoming from the start.

Our server was incredibly attentive—drinks and food kept flowing, and they cleared plates immediately after each sushi course, keeping the table clean and comfortable the entire evening.

The fish was very fresh and full of flavor. The Mexican roll was absolutely delightful—nice and spicy with jalapeños and sriracha, just the right kick. I also ordered a salmon roll, which was so good and filling that it was more than enough for me. We shared the garlic edamame—they don’t hold back on the garlic, but honestly, it was still really, really good.

The prices were amazing, especially for the quality and service. We had a great time from start to finish. Thank you, Mr. Sushi, for a wonderful experience and delicious food. We’ll definitely be back!

“I have been here more times than I can count but the thing that puts it over the top is the great service.
When your server is Jess and you are greeted with a genuine friendly smile you feel so welcome.
It’s so hard to find good service now a days, Jess is amazing and that only enhances the experience.
There is a lot of things to like about this place, but for someone like me that does not eat rice this all you can eat place is great because of all the no rice selections as well as all the items they have.“

“As you enter you are greeted by an open and spacious space. The sushi bar area is nicely decorated and looks well maintained. The entire restaurant is meticulously clean with everything in its place.

Service is attentive and gracious. I ordered the Chicken Karaage Curry and my mom ordered the Salmon Collar. When our food arrived it looked fantastic. The Chicken Karaage looked really crunchy. I ate a piece off the top and it was extremely crunchy, my expectations were high. I dipped a piece of chicken into the curry sauce, but the sauce seemed bland. As I ate it was clear the chicken was incredible, but the curry sauce was broken. There were multiple signs of separation. Some parts were watery and bland, other parts were thicker with stronger flavor. In the picture separation can be seen around the edges of the sauce. Another issue is the rice was room temperature and the grains were starting to tighten and did not mix well with the curry sauce. The disappointing thing is both issues could have easily been fixed before serving. The curry sauce was an easy fix and the rice just had to be warmed. Small things really do make a big difference. I would give the Chicken Karaage alone a 5 out of 5, but with the curry sauce and rice, I would knock that down to a 3.5 out of 5. If everything was freshly made I'm sure it would have been a 5 out of 5.

This is a Sushi Bar and I didn't even try the sushi, so I can't say much about it. However, the prices are very reasonable and definitely worth a try.

Overall the issues were minor. So, this is a place worthy of a shot.“

“My husband and I drove from Bakersfield and stumbled upon this place. Decided to stop and try their AYCE dinner. About $46 per person. We don't eat sushi rolls, only nigiri and everything was excellent. The sushi was cut so evenly and made with care. We will be back!“
