49 Best Japanese Restaurants near Stevenson Ranch

“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!“

“In my book, this is the best Teriyaki chicken in the valley, maybe even Los Angeles. I have done dine in and take out, both situations yielding the same great food. The meals have great portions. But the teriyaki chicken and rice is the best. The chicken is never dry and always grilled with their terrific teriyaki sauce. It never tastes like it's been sitting on the grill for an hour, it's always fresh. Absolutely worth your time if you are a lover of good teriyaki.“

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

“Stopped here a couple of times, and both times it was very good! On this occasion we got the eel bento and the chicken katsu curry. Both dishes came with very generous portions! The prices are amazing! I would definitely recommend coming by for a bite.“

“Great quality sushi , daughter loves the chicken yakisoba (incase you have people in your group that don’t eat sushi) they have great options for everyone.. The restaurant is always extremely clean and the service top notch! Highly recommended“

“My kids love ramen so we came by to check it out. They had so much fun picking thier packet from the wall, cooking it and adding the toppings. The staff was so friendly and accommodating!

The kids picked a mild ramen and it was perfectly spicy. We got a couple sushi rolls that were also delicious. We will definitely be back!“

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

“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!“

“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 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!“

“I recently discovered this ramen and sushi restaurant, and it has quickly become my new go-to spot. The food is incredibly fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced, with generous servings that leave you satisfied. I also really appreciate the calm and relaxing atmosphere, especially when I came in for dinner — it made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food and a peaceful dining experience!“

“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 food and service was excellent.“

“The best yellow tail Nelly sushi ever“

“fast and excellent service 👌“

“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!!“

“The store itself felt a little empty decoration wise. They had one waitress working, but she was very attentive. Each table had tablets(ours lost charge) where you could order everything. It's great especially if you are introverted or indecisive and need extra time. If you prefer, they do also have regular menus. The food itself was amazing. They brought every thing out fairly quickly. I highly recommend the shishido peppers for an appetizer. Definitely coming again.“

“***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.“

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

“Always good sushi chef Ian is awesomeness“

“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.“

“Very nice ambient and friendly waiters“

“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“

“Here for a birthday for my sister, she was craving sushi and she loved it. It was delicious, baked sushi took a little longer but it was very good. We like to rate place, this one or the other one, everyone picked this one. More expensive but worth it for special occasions.“

“I miss Light and Healthy!!! Jack, Miguel, and all the staff. Absolutely the best Sushi!!! Sushi Chefs are so talented and friendly. Best fresh quality of fish. The skills are the best and presentation is amazing.
We moved to Smithfield, Virginia and have been very disappointed with all the Sushi restaurants here.“

“Nice place Delicious Fresh food Many menu Friendly“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“I've only tried the chicken breast bowl. I think it's a good amount of food for the money. But it was a little on the dry side. They need to put more teriyaki sauce on the chicken breast bowl, or stop charging extra when you ask for extra teriyaki sauce to go.
The staff are very nice and the restaurant is clean.“

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

“Everything ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ great food and service.“

“The Best Sushi Place!
I have been here three times now and it does not disappoint! There are two menus, the full menu the restaurant offers and a paper menu for ordering sushi. I love the sushi and sashimi they have. Each time the waiters were friendly and so were the chefs. You are even able to see them cut and prepare the sushi! The sushi rolls we ordered were so tasty and it was so good. Highly recommend visiting!“

“I'll be here Friday's or Sundays always coming here and getting me a meal has my experience I will say is better than Panda Express come check it out you'll be satisfied

Dietary restrictions: Come check it out

Kid-friendliness: Of course

Wheelchair accessibility: Of course“

“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! 😍“

“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. 👍👌“

“I’ve been coming here for years and has never disappointed the Fireball salmon is a must and Song’s Salmon sashimi is another favorite! The service has always been great and the food is always delicious! Thank you Alex for the great service!“

“😁😁 Great Place to Dine !“

“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!“

“I ate here yesterday (06/13/2025>11:35am) and really enjoyed the food—it was delicious! However, I was a bit disappointed with the service. The waitress seemed upset and not in the mood to engage. I understand that everyone has bad days, and we never really know what someone might be going through. Still, as a customer, it's always nice to be greeted with a smile—even a small or polite one makes a big difference. A warm welcome really helps set the tone for a good dining experience.

Hikari Sushi is highly recommended!
The food was delicious, and I truly enjoyed my meal.

Just a little thought—it's so important to welcome customers with a warm, beautiful smile. A friendly atmosphere makes a big difference and leaves a lasting impression.

May God bless this business with continued success and joy!

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

“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!“

“he food was very good, portions are large. I'm not cool with how they put mayo in the handrolls. The fish is fresh and the service is snappy. There's a nice variety of rolls and dishes on the menu. Unfortunately for me, most of the rolls have Shellfish in them. My friend was happy with the variety. It's a nice, cozy environment good for bringing a date. There plenty of parking in the adjacent lot. Overall, I recommend Sushi Ko.“
