Fantastic Sushi! You won't find any rolls here, but highly suggest sitting at the bar and just asking the chef to work his magic!! You won't be disappointed

Amazing service! Amazing chef! My gf is Japanese and she was so impressed with the sushi. I've been to Japan a few times and this place feels definitely like you are there! Next time we'll try omakase.

This is our favorite spot for sushi anywhere. Masa is a sushi master and each meal is a unique and delicious experience. Don't come here for mixed rolls - be ready to turn your meal over to the chef and just enjoy!

I knew we were in for some amazing sushi when I was told by the hostess that they didn't serve California Rolls because this was a true Japanese restaurant. The sushi (mostly nigiri and Masa-san made an exception for us in preparing a maki:) was amazing and the ambiance is laid back yet traditional without the garish/pretentious frou-frou. We regret not doing the omakase but there's definitely going to be a next time.

I don't say this lightly, one of the best sushi places in all of Los Angeles! Been going here for over 20 years. Masa is the master, hands down.
Best sushi we ever had! After eating here I lost any desire for sushi "rolls"

Visiting from the Bay Area and looking for a spot for omakase in the area. My intuition did not lead us astray. I hardly leave reviews but this warrants one: If you are looking for a low-key but high key meal, come here. This is a no frills, traditional sushi restaurant. Meaning: you will not find anything deep fried or slathered in mayo. Just fresh fish, prepared masterfully and with so much care and intention. Much more on the traditional side, you can expect quality fish. Partner and I opted for chefs choice omakase and we sat through ~18 courses. My favorite was the Halibut fin-- it was straight butter and my first time in my life trying this. It was amazing!!!! If you are looking for an aesthetic spot for photos (decor/plating/etc) this is not it**** In terms of price, we thought it was very reasonable for the quality, the attention to preparation and the choice selection. Chef Masa uses the highest quality ingredients, from the ginger to the seaweed. **For those not used to traditional omakase, if you don't stop ordering, your bill continues to grow. I.e there's no set price for X pieces of fish** This spot is warm and friendly and the food here feels like a big hug from an old friend. We are so blessed to find this gem and hole in the wall. Highlights from me: -fresh octopus -seared otoro -kusshi oysters -halibut fin -needlefish

Definitely one of the top places in the valley for great sushi and casual vibe. Some sushi establishments can be uptight, but this sushi-ya was perfect vibe with amazing fish varieties.

Yes, I recommend the sushi and the owner is very nice, however, be aware of "chefs choice." That means they keep serving you whatever THEY choose until YOU say stop. I just discovered tonight (after the bill) that "chefs choice" is a requirement if you sit at the sushi bar and an option if you sit at a table. Both times we've been there the bill has been over $150 and we had no idea it was near that amount. Neither one of us are big eaters and I had one small glass of saki. The sushi was delicious but the situation felt out of control. I wish the hostess had fully explained the deal. When I asked for a menu while sitting at the sushi bar she seemed flummoxed. Now I know why.
