Japanese Restaurants near Toluca Lake

“Kabosu has been a favorite spot for years....
Kabosu is my go to sushi spot....

Quality for its price point >>>
The flavor is impeccable...

My go to order consist of Spicy Truffle Edamame, Albacore Sashimi, Yellowtail Carpaccio, Lemon Roll, and the Yuzu roll. It doesn't matter if I am alone or with friends, I order the same regardless.

The staff are kind, warm, and welcoming! Their service is always incredible!

It is always a joy to dine at Kabosu <3“

“Love this place so much. Their sushi is always so fresh and love the flavor profiles they choose. My favorite rolls/sashimi there is the citrus forward specialty rolls. The lime roll is my absolute fav there. I recommend making a reso for dinner bc it's usually busy but for lunch you can usually get right in. Parking is a bit of a hassle because of the trader Joe's so close so residential parking is the move.“

“I’ve got to give credit where it’s due — Yunomi in Toluca Lake is killing it. From the moment you sit down at the bar, the energy’s just right. The staff moves quick, but you never feel rushed, and every roll hits fresh.

The Yunomi Special is a must — spicy albacore, shrimp tempura, a little crunch, and that truffle soy… unreal. Blue Crab, Soft Shell Crab, Negi Toro — they’re all solid. Even the crispy rice apps are worth the trip on their own.

It’s the kind of place you can pop in for a quick bite or make a night of it. Everything’s clean, organized, and dialed in — down to the bag hooks under the counter.

Fresh fish, great flavors, no wasted time. If you’re anywhere near Toluca Lake, this spot’s an easy yes.“

“I had such a great experience here! Danny, the manager, welcomed me right away and even set me up with a perfect corner table—which made the whole meal feel extra relaxed. Alissa, our server, was amazing—super friendly, professional, and on top of everything without ever rushing us. The ramen itself was incredible, full of flavor and beautifully balanced. Between the food, the atmosphere, and the team, this spot definitely deserves 5 stars. I’ll be back for sure!“

“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.“

“The food has a great taste and I can tell the recipe of the broth is thoughtfully designed and flavored. The service was fine but the restaurant felt too crowded and loud. While I understand it’s a ramen spot, their décor and presentation are more refined than most, so the hectic atmosphere detracted slightly from the overall experience.“

“สนุกสนานอาหารอร่อย บรรยากาศดีมีระดับ“

“This place is a true gem and I love shopping there for all my sushi and Japanese food and sake amazing selection and excellent service! If you enjoy fresh sushi fish that are reasonably priced then you most definitely must check out this gem!!! Also they teach lessons that sell out quickly so you must sign up for their monthly news email that gives you so much information about all that they do!“

“My mother and I celebrated her birthday at Nnaka Restaurant and it was a fantastic dining experience. The set menu included 13 courses, with some special dishes. Every dish was beautifully prepared and delicious.“
