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“

“I’ve been coming to Kenbey every week for the past couple months and it genuinely hasn’t missed once. The fish is the freshest I’ve had in the States since eating sushi in Japan, and I don’t say that casually.

I always get the tuna and salmon specials because I truly can’t resist — the seared toro and the salmon with the yuzu truffle are the best bites of sushi I’ve ever had. Every single time.

For my birthday I did the Omakase solo and sat at the bar, and watching the chef work was a work of art. Their classic miso soup was already my favorite, and then the crab miso came with the Omakase and I genuinely don’t know how I’m ever not going to order that now. The ice cream finished it off perfectly — denser than what you’re used to, almost mochi-like. The chef talked me into it and I’m so glad he did.

The staff is warm and attentive in a way that actually feels natural, not performative.

Kenbey is such an underrated hidden gem and I don’t know why more people aren’t talking about it. It’s my new neighborhood spot.“

“I am extremely loyal to our local sushi restaurant gems all along Ventura blvd and have my staples saying that none compare to this most amazing sushi spot we've discovered and many have already known about and it is Sushi Tomoki! Wow! Paradise for sushi lovers and I must say from the moment you enter this most authentic of joints it takes your heart and you fall in love with the chefs, the ladies and gentleman serving you and guiding you along the way is next level. We absolutely have found our local spot for good. Magic!“

“The food is great and priced very well. I would say that the lunch special is very worth it and if you are trying the restaurant for the first time the lunch specials are the way to go to get a taste of it. Fish quality is also good for the price“

“Reall bomb sushi rolls were the yellowtail and spicy tuna roll. Wow. Our waiters suggestions didn't disappoint and only impressed us with the high quality of flavor from this restaurant. Would go here again and ambience is very romantic“

“Phenomenal experience and the staff was excellent.“

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

“Great setting and great Sushi two thumbs up 👍🏽“

“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.“

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

“Very impressive 1st time experience!!!!
Nice, thin cut sashimi, just perfect for the best tasting.
Toro hand roll is a killer!!!
Greast staff and great atmosphere.
Petros, the waiter was super civilized, respectful and helpful.
Definitely going back, it's a MUST TO TRY spot....“

“Fresh, Flavorful, and Worth Every Bite!

I recently visited this sushi spot, and I was blown away by how fresh everything tasted. The fish practically melted in my mouth — you can really tell they use high-quality ingredients. The rolls were beautifully presented and perfectly balanced with flavor and texture.“

“Seabutter, in the heart of Glendale lies this sushi restaurant that is a masterpiece. It is right next to Americana, sadly it has horrible parking but near places like Shake Shack, bourbon steak, In-n-Out, Capital One cafe, BJ’s brewhouse, and I’m quite sure a Starbucks as well Joe & The Juice literally next door.

Every sushi is fresh and tastes delicious, the atmosphere is like you’re a Roman patrician arriving at his Villa where his luxurious life is. It doesn’t look so fancy, but it feels comfy. There’s no trash nor dirt on the floor just clean and has a nice modern look.

The service here is very quick, the wait time is non-existent and the staff are very kind-hearted and quick with orders. When we come here, we are usually give On the house meals which is nice. There’s also a bar area and you can watch them make your sushi!

The food here is the spotlight in the show, it is the best sushi I have ate in my whole entire lifetime as well my whole bloodline. The sushi here is fresh delicious and it’s nice. I showed pictures of non-sushi items like Chicken Teriyaki, and Garlic Edamani, but most of the pictures are just sushi.

In the end, after coming here 50+ times I can agree this is the best sushi place I will ever touch on earth. If there was sushi in heaven, Seabutter will be there.

They also have another restaurant place called The Bar which I will review one day. But other from that, this place is a must-go and is very underrated and overlooked.

PS: before you go here, the parking is absolute garbage due to Americano and other popular places!

Peace✌️“

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

“Katsu-ya is my neighborhood sushi spot, and it is a good one. This is not the place you go when you want the best sushi of your life or a meal that is going to blow your mind. This is where you go when you want good, consistent sushi any day of the week.

It is the Toyota Avalon of sushi restaurants, on the upper end of reliable, and I go there constantly. They are always busy and have many celebrity clients, if that matters to you. Service is consistently great as well. If you want a table, it is best to make a reservation since they are often very busy.“

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

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

“I think I died.
This is the freshest, cleanest fish I have had since Kazu on Ventura closed.
The chefs are incredibly talented, the freshest fish being used and the flavors are clean and well balanced. I will be back every week until I've tried everything on the menu. 🥰❤️🌸
Gochisousama deshita 🙏🏾“

“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!“

“Excellent omakase that would rival those at twice the price. The actual omakase experience started about 30 minutes after the reservation time, so... Patience. Valet parking is available, which is always great to have when you spend 2+ hours for dinner in the LA area. I wish they can bring back the ginger they had about a year ago. That was some darn good ginger“

“Delicious and freshly prepared food 🥘“

“The sushi was fresh and delicious, and everything we ordered tasted great. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Overall, a great place for good sushi and excellent service. I would definitely return“

“Great food and the people in the restaurant where accommodating to my dietary restrictions. Will definitely come back!“

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

“Прекрасное обслуживание, всё очень вкусно.“

“First thing first, the sushi is really fresh. We got the toro, salmon belly, and the yellowtail belly. Saba is a little fishy. The rice is a bit mushy but good enough.

The cooked food is not as great. The agedashi tofu has too much breading and taste average. Kaiju tar tar is okayyy.

The service however took forever, and they never come to check up on us. Servers reach over to get dishes for other tables. Maybe they are short staffed but they should still handle us probably.“

“BOIIIII I GOT WHAT I DESERVED 😂😂😂me and da bois were looking for the nes for Nintendo switch ts place was phenomenon and next was a barber shop that was a quarter so me and the city bois got no menu but we got what me deserved definitely a five out of five😂“

“I love Kinza. It’s a cute but no pretension type of sushi spot! Their rolls come with 10 pieces (not 8) AND you can order half size rolls even for their specialty rolls which is INCREDIBLE. Very fresh, flavorful, lots of good combos, and service is excellent.

If you can’t find parking on the street, park in the alley behind the restaurant!“

“This place lives up to the hype. Great staff & amazing food. I have seen alot of 5 star reviews for other sushi spots in the area, I would say this is the first that I think truly earned it. I’ll be back for sure. Fish tasted very fresh and chef explained he always is aware of serving the freshest possible“

“Morihiro is just really solid all around. You can tell a lot of care goes into everything, especially the sushi—the rice and fish were super clean and well balanced.

Chef Morihiro Onodera comes from a traditional Japanese background, and it shows. His style is very classic and detail-focused, precise technique and great ingredients. Even the ceramics are part of the experience, since many of the plates are made by him.

Highlights for me were the uni hand rolls and the sashimi. Even the steak and tempura were done really well, simple but executed right.

Nothing feels over the top or gimmicky, just thoughtful and intentional. It’s definitely on the pricier side, but worth it if you’re into traditional sushi done right.“

“Love Jo&Go Sushi. They saved me when we first moved to LA and while the house was being remodeled.

4 years later... it's still as good as first discovered. It's a neighborhood gem inside the Korean Greenland Mrkt, which btw, is also awesome.

Must try is the salmon bowl, the salmon slices are so tender and buttery... they give you a crazy amount of salmon over the rice and seriously it's enough to have a 2nd meal! One note about the bowl... I'm not a fan of drenching really good cooked rice with sauce, so I always order without the sauce. The rice is not sushi rice which makes it even more delicious... the rice is always perfectly cooked. You get a miso soup and a cute little container of pickled radish (delish). I would love to know where they source the fish... it's like being in Japan, it's so fresh.

I'll be catering with them soon and happy to update the review post order.

The kind woman who takes the order is so sweet and cute, always smiling...says hi and bye all the time.

If you're in the area, definitely give it a try for takeaway.“

“Got two rolls and the sashimi combo. Sexy lady and something with salmon and cream cheese. Both were fire. The sashimi combo was so fresh and delirious. I found this place on a whim and I’m so grateful I did. The owner was such a sweetheart. I’ll definitely be coming back here again.“

“Best sushi ever! I highly recommend them! The food is sooooo good!“

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

“owner is so kind and food is incredibly cheap and delicious!!! not to mention with great portions for the price! i go here almost every week after school with my friends and it’s become such a lovely place to hangout and eat good food. amazing service and little wait time. i recommend this spot to every person who comes to hollywood/la. we love you sushiq!“

“Everything was amazing from the service to the food and sushi and the environment is unassuming and comfortable. Top notch!“

“Food Delicious Service excellent ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I passed by this place so many times but never got to try it out until today. The workers were so down to earth and made the experience so fun as soon as we walked in. Ryan was our server and was so helpful to us! It was our first time here and he took the time to really take care of the table and recommend some good items. My favorite was the salmon sampler. I’m excited for my next time back!“

“An exceptional handroll experience from start to finish. Seaweed Handroll Bar delivers a perfect balance of freshness, precision, and creativity in every bite. The seaweed is crisp and vibrant, the rice is perfectly seasoned, and the fish tastes incredibly clean and high-quality“

“Now it is Osumo Sushi- the food is still just as good as it when it was run by mostly Japanese people. Jose and the others were super nice. First time eating since the change of ownership in 2020. Did time go by that quickly?? lol

Have been eating here for 7 years now -it is our favorite go to place when we have friends or family visiting from out of town, or a celebration.
The staff has always given us something for free- sake, mochi, or an extra roll.
I dislike fish, but decided to give it a go here. I am hooked! Pun intended!

The food has always been fresh, and the prices are better than you would find at most places. It is never very crowded, except for Friday and Saturday nights.
Everyone we bring to Sumo Sushi- even from other countries say the food is better than average.

It's the best kept secret in the valley!“

“Super good, quick and really great service. The appetizer, Popular demand, was something I had never tried before and it was so yummy we ordered 2. We also had sweet Hawaiian roll and shooting star. Very good! Shooting star was my fave. Reasonable prices and it feels somewhat upscale.“

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

“They have great lunch specials for both ramen and sushi! Plus validated parking, which is rare in Hollywood, on the Eastown property!“

“My fiancé and I are regulars here! We enjoy the bento box with either the teriyaki chicken or bulgogi beef. We also enjoy the salmon rolls and Thai tea.

The prices are amazing and we are usually attended pretty fast depending how busy it is. We often eat in or takeout. I think we’ve been going here for a few years now!

I love this place, there is a gentlemen waiter who is always very nice!“

“Had dinner there last night with my wife.
We both had a tasting menu
This place absolutely blew us away.
Super fresh and flavorful Sushi
We love every bite
Wait was a little long but the host handled it like a champ. Service was perfect. Thank you guys for a great night out with my love.“
