50 Best Sushi Bars near Sun Valley

“it's a tiny little hole in the wall amazing awesome delightful friendly place!!!! the food and the people who work there are amazing!“

“That sounds like a fantastic dining experience“

“This is such a cute restaurant, and the owner is incredibly kind! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the food is 100% authentic Japanese. Everything we tried was delicious, and you can truly feel the authenticity in every detail. We had a wonderful experience here and will definitely be coming back!“

“Tranquil spot with various omakase options. Came here with my family for an early dinner and made a reservation online beforehand. We opted for the Sushi Bar Omakase for $109 which came with 8 courses (including dessert). A couple of courses had multiple pieces, and we left very full. The blue crab hand roll was my favorite part; it was huge, hot, and the sauce that accompanied it was delicious. The fish was super fresh and the pieces kept coming. It was fun to watch them being prepared right in front of us at the bar (there are table seats as well). We enjoyed our meal and I would recommend this for special occasions or a way to treat yourself.“

“Must get sushi, but don’t forget the corn tempura and momotaro tomato (seasonal). Awesome sake selection too.“

“Not sure why this place doesn’t have 5 stars. Found this place about a year ago and every time we are in LA we make a point to come during happy hour and get their mountain roll & crispy spicy tuna. Service is wonderful and attentive. Sushi never misses. Always so fresh. 10/10 recommend!“

“Not only is the food great, and the inside of the restaurant stunning - the owner and staff are just the best! We had a graduation dinner of 40 people scheduled for a dinner downtown that had to be canceled due to protests/curfew. We called last minute to see if Leona’s could take us. We got lucky since it was early it the week. The owner and his team jumped in to accommodate us and were so helpful! We got so lucky. Even though we were a last minute booking, they treated our large group with such care. The staff worked so hard and our evening was perfect! This place is a gem, not only for the fantastic food, but for the hard-working, kind-hearted folks working there. Thank you!“

“Phenomenal experience and the staff was excellent.“

“Little Izaka-ya is my go-to neighborhood sushi spot, and it never disappoints! The servers always remember me, which adds such a nice, welcoming touch to every visit. It feels like a place I can count on for a great time and delicious food every single time. The sushi rolls are consistently fresh and full of flavor, but my personal favorite is the white fish roll—YUM! It’s always a treat. I also love how easy it is to make a reservation, making dining here super convenient. Whether it’s for a casual night out or a special dinner, Little Izaka-ya always delivers. Highly recommend!“

“Not a big fan of sitting on the side of street where people walk by and you intake that fumes coming from all these traffic. Got to sit inside by the bar, the food here is okay, but a bit pricey for what it's worth. Been to many affordable to very expensive sushi places in the U.S. and in Asia, this place is more IG/social media friendly picturesque place than an actual sushi/sashimi place. Not much nigiri/sashimi choices. Not a big fan of places that sell pre-made canned alcohol with an extreme markup.“

“great food. Good service. decent prices“

“Прекрасное обслуживание, всё очень вкусно.“

“Be careful- the spicy tuna crispy rice is addicting! Taisho is our go to spot when family & friends visit from out of town. You can’t go wrong with anything you order there. It’s all delicious. Highly recommend checking out their happy hour!“

“There are so many sushi places in Studio City. This is just inside Sherman Oaks by one block, on Riverside, so it's a real neighborhood place. The food is great. Truly homemade. Everything is fantastic. The host, Ben, is stellar. Kind, attentive, and very helpful and knows the cuisine. A great place ... and our secret, okay?“

“I love this place! The food is fantastic! And I’m a regular for a reason 😉“

“Came here for lunch and the food did not disappoint. I ordered the lunch combo with a California roll and sashimi and everything was delicious. The place was busy and we waited a little bit to be served but nothing to complain about. Everyone was so sweet and friendly, I will be back!“

“We had a very nice dinner here. It was highly recommended by a friend. It is a cute little place that fills up quickly. We ended up sitting outside with some heaters, which was quite nice. We tried the Brussel sprout appetizer, and it was excellent. We ordered the Asian roll, the lobster tempura roll as well as the soft shell crab roll. All were very good. The negima, which is chicken on a stick, was very tasty. We finished with mochi, which was perfect.“

“We went here for our wedding anniversary and we loved loved the whole experience! I’ve had many omakase before in LA, Toronto & Japan and this was top notch. I was obsessed with their pickled ginger as it appears to be house made. I would come back just for that! Just kidding but not really. We’ll definitely be back! I wish them continued success!“

“Great 🍣 sushi and the employees are super friendly! Been coming here for years.“

“The only reason I’m reducing a star is because this place doesn’t sell Thai food anymore. I found them on Google thinking that my kids can get Thai noodles and I can enjoy the sushi. They need to update their profile here as it’s deceiving.

Still ordered sushi and got it to go. It was fresh and delicious. The staff is nice and welcoming. The place is small but clean.

Sushi is recommended.“

“Wonderful experience with Chef Take! Truly a unique experience in the historical method and style chef prepares his experience.“

“Very delicious! My daughter fell in love with Katsu Sando ❤“

“We really enjoyed our dining experience at Kenbey. The sushi is fresh and you can tell the chef cares about each piece he serves. I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because of 3 things. The first is that I didn’t like the sauce that came on the hirame and the sauce on the albacore with the slice of garlic. Second, we tried the Hokkaido uni, it was a very dark orange (so not the freshest - we should have gone with the Santa Barbara uni) and so bland and flavorless. Third, for the prices they could add some decoration.
I would still recommend trying Kenbey. The service was excellent and overall pretty good!“

“One of the best omakase experience i’ve had.

There were so many dishes that came out that I started to get full. Love it!

The service was very attentive. The fish quality was great and there were some unique options i’ve never had before. My favs were the ankimo, seared baby barracuda, spotted ebi, and uni. The espresso hojicha dessert was absolutely amazing as well.“

“Clean, fresh, delicious sushi at delightfully reasonable prices. And the new owners, a family of three, are super friendly and fun. Highly recommended!“

“Excelente lugar... muy buena experiencia atención increíble!“

“We were 5 ppl ,ordered like 8 dishes all were amazingly great my first time to Gokaku Rama. Was so worth it after all day in universal su Dr ios,3 min drive to Gokaku place ..I did not want to end my meal .this is the best restaurant“

“Delicious and freshly prepared food 🥘“

“I like this place. Premium rolls are delicious!!!!“

“Pretty much everything it is always the best and freshest fish in town! The best oysters on the half shell, Uni, yellowtail belly, the seafood salad is really delicious, (as well as their salmon skin salad)! Another favorite is the ELhand roll (it’s almost a meal in itself)! You really cannot go wrong with anything you order there! Five stars for sure!“

“The staff are always friendly and the food is absolutely delicious.
Every time we visit L.A., this is a must-stop spot for our kids.

We’re big fans of sushi and have tried omakase in many countries, but this place keeps coming back to mind. While the setting and atmosphere might not be the most fancy, the taste alone is enough to bring us back.

In fact, sometimes the small and humble vibe feels even more comfortable, which is why it works so well for our family. I have a feeling we’ll keep coming back every time we’re in L.A!“

“As soon as I stepped foot in this joint, I knew it was gonna be a hit!!!
The ambiance 😍😍😍😍😍

The customer service was top tier. Amanda (?) took my to go order and was very sweet.

The rolls were delicious 😋.
O ordered the veggie rolls with tempura flakes on top.
Fresh and yummy!!

I WILL BE BACK!!“

“Top sushi 🍣 restaurant in studio city.
The service was excellent, from the time we walked in, to leaving, all staff constantly greeted and checked on us to make sure we were doing well.

The grilled green peppers🫑 were good, not too spicy.

The sushi was very fresh and tender, and the plates, including teriyaki salmon were tasty.

The place was packed.

The only downside was that their parking lot had zero self parking spaces, only valet parking so if you prefer not to, would need to find nearby street parking, which we did and walk a few blocks to the restaurant.“

“Food Delicious Service excellent ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Just go and order Omakase. It is the sushi experience of your life!“

“Excellent food. ambience is also very good. we had udon noodle soup which was freshly made and great taste“

“Lindsey was hands-down the best server, so friendly and on top of everything! The food was so good, I literally ate it all before I even thought about taking a picture. The vibe here is great too, super chill and welcoming. Definitely coming back!“

“We love Katsuya! The sushi is so fresh and the rolls are creative and very tasty! We especially enjoyed the special crab hand roll and we added avocado which was the best! We had tickets to the Pantages and the staff was very attentive to ensuring we left on time to the show. Everyone there is very friendly!“

“My Favorite Sushi spot in the valley. Always super fresh. Had the BSCR. Been a long time since I had scallops cooked as perfectly as these. Melt in your mouth. Kind of hard to describe what makes this place so special. The flavors are always a notch above all others.“

“I finally found a legit Japanese Fish restaurant in the San Fernando Valley after Maya sushi changed its ownership. The quality of fish is incredibly stellar and the taste is superb. The rich flavor of the salmon the the crisp flavor of the yellowtail and the sweetness of the Sweet Shrimp is memorable. The fact that the chef fries the head of the sweet shrimp is wonderful. Paying more for the prime selection of the sashimi is definitely worth the price. The thickness of the fish is spot on and their fried food items are tasty.“

“Absolutely amazing menu and very accommodating people, and it’s very affordable and mostly delicious 😋.“

“a true gem. there are no frills here and the sushi speaks for itself. I have never had to wait for a table and the service is direct, and courteous. they provide incredible ginger that they will refill throughout your meal, so go crazy, it’s addictive. and the wasabi. freshly grated, sweet, fluffy, this is the real deal.
my favorites are the sweet shrimp, the uni served with hokkaido and santa barbara side by side, the halibut, and red snapper. but it’s all very very good.
every time i am seated, the waiter reminds me, no special roll, no california roll, and I couldn’t be happier.“

“great service, wonderful staff and food was amazing“

“This is on3 o& m6 favorite sushi places in Los Angeles. Always very fresh, great daily specials, and unusual options. Try the maitake sushi!“

“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 :)“

“The food is AMAZING. I do feel a bit cheated out of the overall experience. The joint is inside the supermarket and they don’t have a seating area. Something the previous reviews neglected to mention. For a $100+ order and two have to take it to go, it’s definitely not what I expected. We did a picnic nearby to adjust. The food is a culinary trip. I highly recommend them. It is by far one of the best sushi joints in the San Fernando Valley.“

“An absolute gem of a place! The Naked rolls are wrapped with veggies like radish instead of rice and PACKED GENEROUSLY with really fresh fish. Service here's amazing also. Oh and the macaroon ice creams 😍. So glad I found it ♥️“

“This place is absolutely amazing! I rarely write reviews, but I had to make an exception for this one. My son and I absolutely loved it here. Everything was perfect—the food, the atmosphere, and the overall experience! The complimentary cucumber salad and miso soup were such a delightful touch. This is officially my go-to sushi spot from now on. Highly recommend it to everyone!“

“Authentic family owned and ran sushi and omakase restaurant. My friends live out here and they come here often, we had reservations for the back room, it was really nice and cozy and they let us use their speaker, we probably were really loud during dinner. The sushi chef was out front and its bar and omakase style. We had the back and multiple rounds of sake, we also ordered edamame, seaweed salad and some other rolls too. I like amaebi (sweet shrimp) and they fried the heads for us. We did a couple of other tuna and mackerel rolls as well. There’s some street parking and parking further in the areas. Great vibes, authentic and great service!“

“Excellent Sushi and service! The garlic edamame was delicious! Service was fast and friendly and they have PARKING!!“
