“If you live in Stevenson Ranch or anywhere in the SCV and still think you need to drive over the hill for truly high-quality sushi, it’s time to discover Ananto Sushi.
This place is the definition of a hidden gem — although it probably won’t stay hidden for long.
What makes Ananto special isn’t flashy decor or a giant trendy dining room. The restaurant is small, simple, and understated. But honestly, that’s part of the charm. They focus on what actually matters: exceptional fish, consistency, and genuine hospitality.
Chef Tim is the real deal. Every cut of fish tastes carefully selected and expertly prepared, with the kind of precision and quality you normally expect from high-end Ventura Boulevard sushi spots — except here, you don’t have to waste time fighting 405 traffic to get it. The sushi is clean, balanced, fresh, and crafted with obvious skill and care.
What really stands out are the little details that serious sushi lovers notice immediately. Even the wasabi contains real pieces of wasabi instead of the typical bland paste most places serve. It’s touches like that that show Chef Tim truly cares about quality and authenticity in every part of the meal.
But what keeps people coming back over and over is the family atmosphere. Chef Tim and his wife make you feel like a regular even on your first visit. The service is warm, welcoming, and personal in a way that’s becoming rare these days. You’re not just another table — you genuinely feel taken care of.
Another huge plus is the value. Ananto offers dinner specials, combo specials, fresh daily specials, and high-quality fish at prices that feel incredibly reasonable for the quality you’re getting. Whether you’re ordering nigiri, sashimi, specialty rolls, or one of their dinner combos, the consistency is always there.
The SCV has plenty of sushi spots, but very few places combine this level of fish quality, consistency, hospitality, and value. That’s why Ananto Sushi has quietly become one of the top sushi restaurants in Santa Clarita Valley for people who truly appreciate good sushi.
Stevenson Ranch residents are lucky to have this place nearby. Once word fully gets out, people are going to realize they no longer need to drive to Sherman Oaks, Studio City, or LA for premium sushi experiences.
Simple interior. Exceptional food. Family service. Consistent quality.
That’s exactly why people keep coming back — and why Ananto Sushi won’t stay hidden much longer.“

“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.“

“Absolutely DELICIOUS. Staff was fun and personable. Food was next level. I’m still speechless. Possibly best yellowtail and salmon I’ve ever had???? White fish that changed my life. Eel was delectable. They were out of scallops when we were there (all good, I get they are popular!) and now I will 1000% be back!! We did the AYCE dinner. Worth every dollar. New fav spot. Wow.“

“Tried this spot for a quick sushi fix—overall it was just okay. It gets the job done if you’re in a hurry, but it’s not somewhere I’d go out of my way for. The sushi felt closer to room temperature than fresh and chilled, which took away from the experience.
That said, the staff was friendly and welcoming, which I appreciated. Nothing terrible, just not very memorable. Good for convenience, but not a standout sushi spot.“

“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!“

“That it is a GREAT sushi restaurant that everyone needs to try!!! Here is my review on it: SATURDAY FOOD REVIEW..SAKE2ME SUSHI (again)...1/11/25! After a day at SeaWorld in San Diego, we stopped on our way home to have dinner at Sake2Me Sushi, located at 3885 Cochran St., in Simi Valley. They start you off with an appetizer, crab on a fried tortilla, with eel sauce, spicy sauce, and Japanese sauce, and WOW, it was SOOO GOOD!!! We both had their Dinner Combo, with miso soup, salad, rice, and an orange slice, and our choice of sushi, and we both chose the Shrimp Crunch Roll and the Spicy Tuna Roll. Every single thing was VERY fresh tasting and ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!! This restaurant has TOP NOTCH FOOD, and one that needs to be on your 'must do list'!!!! I VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND it to all sushi lovers...you will NOT be disappointed, it's THAT GOOD!!!!“

“The food here at Tokyo sushi is so amazingly delicious. Each dish was like a masterpiece the flavors exploded in my mouth it was so delectable I’d come back here anytime. The waiter was a young man and He was very professional and classy. He is very commendable for someone of his young age. The sushi that I got was so incredibly fresh that I nearly thought I was in the ocean. It felt like I just dipped my feet in the waters. Now if you’re reading this review and you’re still thinking of whether you should go or not don’t think twice just go it’s called Tokyo sushi for a reason.“

“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.“

“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.“

“My wife and I had dinner here on a whim and couldn’t be happier. The toro was PERFECT, and the yellowtail, bluefin, and unagi sushi were also amazing! The tempura shrimp roll was hearty and crispy. We also had the Karaage and took advantage of the happy hour for beer and sake. I must mention that our waitress was the sweetest and she was so attentive and professional. We can’t wait to come back!!“

“The owners are wonderful. I was having lunch the other day and was half-way through my meal when I received an emergency phone call from my daughter's school, which is very close to the restaurant, that she had had a seizure and that I had to go there immediately. I told the chef that I had an emergency and asked if I could quickly pay so I could leave. They just said Go! No problem! We'll see you next time! and wouldn't let me pay. I will be going back to Baby Tuna as often as I can! The food is great, and the owners are truly good people. Love this place.“

“Food was amazing and the service was great. Staff was so welcoming and kept checking on our table. Music was a bit loud but the waiter accommodated us and lowered the volume. Definitely going back. 6 rolls for $60 is a steal. Alex the assistant manager made sure everything was coming out in a timely manner.“

“This is a hidden gem in the valley. From the outside I did not expect the interior to look so nice and Japanese style.
The sushi omakase was so tasty with different cuts of fish like toro, salmon belly and more. Each one had garnishes like chili oil, yuzu, fresh wasabi, etc. The presentation is stunning. The other items we ordered were also so fresh and tasty like the Toro toast, negitoro mini bowl, and shishito peppers.
Fresh and delicious food here !“
