50 Best Sushi Bars near Tujunga

“The Japanese, who have lived in the United States all year long, love to make friends“

“Phenomenal experience and the staff was excellent.“

“We moved a street over and were excited to try. The $80 omakase left us full and content! The perfect amount of food. The black cod, seared salmon, and otoro were huge highlights. As a ginger lover, I was thrilled with how good this was and ate my entire pile mostly plain with just with their high quality soy sauce. We couldn't help eyeballing the huge 12 piece rolls that were going out past us and can't wait to try next time.“

“From the moment I settled in the booth, a caressing breeze welcomed me. The large garage door like opening of a window added to the beautifully appointed space. There were many highlights of the evening, including the delicious spicy albacore role , the more rare sashimi sea bass, and the decadent dessert banana ice cream caramel sandwich with crunchy filo dough. Our waitresses Monique was hands down the highlight of the evening- what a pleasure to be served by a competent, passionate, and beautiful human. A memorable evening.“

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

“Absolutely amazing menu and very accommodating people, and it’s very affordable and mostly 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!“

“Sushi Yuzu is a small, unassuming gem that serves top-quality sushi. I’m usually picky when it comes to sushi, but this place truly impressed me. The fish is always fresh, and the nigiri is expertly prepared. The service is attentive, and the vibe is relaxed but elegant. It’s not as flashy as other sushi places in LA, but the quality of the food speaks for itself. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic sushi.“

“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.“

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

“Truly not enough descriptive words to express the level of freshness, taste and welcoming vibe we experienced at Karma Sushi. Honestly the BEST sushi I’ve had in forever. James and his staff are a 10+ (no exaggeration). They greet you like family and take care of you like only an owner runned business could. I’m hooked and can’t stop eating here!!!! Was just there for Mother’s Day and returning next week to share with a friend. A MUST TRY.“

“Okay I don’t even know where to start but my experience at Morihiro was amazing. It was actually my second time but it gets even better and better. Coming from Japan, it is SO HARD to find good sushi overseas. Sure there are so many Michelin sushi restaurants here in LA but Morihiro is not even comparable- first Shari ( sushi rice ) is ANOTHER LEVEL. Quality of Shari is so important to make good sushi but he actually spent 25years to look for specific rice - Rice here is not just a decoration but it plays important role for the sushi. And appetizers!!! He likes to mix both Japanese traditional dish and local ingredients. It was amazing. A lot of sushi restaurants don’t care about appetizers but they just care about golden flakes or caviar lol But his dish is so delicious and there is a meaning behind. Also service was top notch! They don’t even speak Japanese but they knew the details of regions or seasonal ingredients. Can you even imagine how hard would it be to learn every single name of fish or vegetable in different language? I have huge respect for all the chefs and servers. It was AMAZING. You will NOT regret it. I can guarantee as a Japanese foodie from Japan!!!!!!“

“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!“

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

“DELICIOUS!! My hubby and I decided to pop in on a whim and we’re so glad we did! Our server Mark was sooo attentive and had delicious recommendations. The yuzu albacore and spicy scallop hand rolls were so fresh and stood out. Chef Joab made every roll and nigiri we ordered to perfection and was very friendly, making the experience memorable! Honestly, even the host and other staff were kind/welcoming throughout the eve. We will definitely return!“

“Food Delicious Service excellent ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Came after a movie during a lunch and had three rolls and a miso. Lindsay was very friendly from the start and made sure I was always attended, the food was delicious for a quick bite to eat and will be trying the ramen next time. The cucumber in the sushi was a little to on the thicker side than what I’m used to but all very very fresh sushi and delicious!!“

“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 :)“

“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“

“One of the very best Japanese restaurants in the city. Reasonable prices and home style Japanese food. Worth the wait. Come early.“

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

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

“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.“

“Some of you may know the Katsuya in the Americana in Glendale, well, this has nothing to do with that one (quality-wise!). This is an awesome little joint that is always stuffed with people and the food is really good. If you have ever been to an authentic Japanese hole in the wall, you know it should look like this! The only bad thing about the place are......well, the customers. When I sat with my wife, a table of 3 ladies was paying the check and they continued sitting there long after we left!

Let me give you all a free piece of knowledge: when the server brings you the check, especially without you asking, they are not pressuring you for a tip. It means the table is needed to produce more money for the night. Those girls made that table skip a turn-around and probably tipped horribly for staying 40+ minutes yapping hysterically on a table after having paid the check. The place was packed that night, that was a low ball girls!

Anyway, awesome place, absolutely try it! Oh yeah, you will be pleasantly surprised by its prices! (Wink)“

“This is hands down my new favorite sushi place. I will never be going back to Katsuya. Joe is quite an extraordinary chef. I used to frequent a sushi restaurant he used to work at, but it wasn't the same after he left. I'm so grateful that I was able to find him here after a good hunt. Highly recommend!!!

Vegetarian options: You can ask for whatever you want that doesn't contain any meat. Like cucumber rolls, avocado rolls, egg rolls, or just miso and an order of sticky rice.“

“Our group of 8 had a very nice time. We opted to sit at a smaller table so we could see & hear each other. The servers were attentive & worked with our limited spacing well. The food was wonderful as usual. We were not rushed & enjoyed our time with good company & great food.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Always amazing food and service. I just love this restaurant.“

“Amazing place for enjoying with family and friends.. food is just awesome!!! Exceptional service.“

“I’ve been here a few times now and it’s my new favorite sushi spot. The food is fresh to death with a mix of classic favorites and fun new dishes (the cilantro roll is to die for). Ben has been my waiter twice and I love the banter with him as much as the food. 10/10, chef’s kiss.“

“The whole experience was amazing. Service was quick and friendly. They were very knowledgeable and made great recommendations. The chefs quickly made our rolls and each one was better than the last. With everything being made right in front of us, you could tell that everything was fresh and of the highest quality. This time we got the 5 hand roll set, a H.Y.E., and, our favorite, Uni Shooters. I cannot wait to come back and try the bowls next time!“

“Healthy seafood & friendly atmosphere“

“My favorite sushi in the valley and the prices can’t be beat“

“buen servicio y todo muy rico“

“While recently visiting the area, I ran in to pick up takeout sushi for my two older teenagers. The restaurant felt like it had a locals vibe and the service was very friendly and professional. My kids said the sushi rolls they ordered were fresh and absolutely on point! Would return and recommend!“

“Everything!!! Such a fun place to eat and the food was good!“

“Food great and employees are too“

“This was a delightful find, a small intimate sushi restaurant with delightful Japanese owners. There aren't too many nice sushi places with a clean, simple aesthetic that are open to 10pm, and the service was top notch. I was at the sushi bar and was able to enjoy very rapid rounds of sushi, and the waitstaff was just as quick to respond to beverages and soups, and checks. I had a wonderful time and appreciate the nuance of a Japanese-owned sushi place vs. other more corporate sushi places. Definitely recommend and coming again!“

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

“Had the Dinela box (prefix nigiri, 2 choice cut rolls - I got spicy salmon and yellowtail jalapeño, cucumber salad, edamame) which included a mango lychee cocktail. Service was quick, we got lucky and parked in their first space. Fast and friendly service, came out to about $30/person with tip, would definitely come back!“

“Blue Fish Japanese Sushi – Where the Mountains Meet the Roll

Montrose feels like a town time forgot - in the best way. Tucked beneath the shadow of the Verdugo Mountains, the main strip holds onto something rare: a rhythm that hasn’t been rushed. There’s a sense of place here. A walk down Honolulu Avenue is part small-town Americana, part hidden food haven.

And in the middle of it all sits Blue Fish Japanese Sushi - a spot that doesn’t scream for your attention but earns it bite by bite.

Start with the spicy tuna on crispy rice. No frills, no flash - just flavor done right. The edamame is fresh, the vegetable tempura hits that perfect light crunch, and the rolls? However you choose to roll, they’ll deliver.

There’s a seasonality to the experience here - not in the menu, but in the way it makes you feel. A quiet kind of comfort, a reminder that good food doesn’t always need a spotlight. Sometimes, it just needs a seat at the sushi bar and a view of the mountains.

Bluefish is a must - not just in Montrose, but for anyone chasing the soul of a place through its food.“

“I really enjoyed dining at Taisho Sushi! The yellowtail serrano was perfectly balanced with just the right spice, and the salmon dry miso was incredibly flavorful and fresh. The presentation and service were both excellent — definitely one of my favorite sushi spots in town. Highly recommend!“

“Fumi-san is my favorite sushi chef in Los Angeles. The quality of his ingredients is always top-notch, and his rice is truly exceptional (even better than what I’ve had in Japan)
Not only does he make amazing food, but he also has a great sense of humor that makes his guests feel truly entertained.
I’m so happy that he recently opened his own restaurant.“

“I fear that sometimes, we all give high ratings to vegan restaurants, despite their being less than great, just to be encouraging for the team. This place, however, is legit amazing. Flavorful, fresh, and a wonderful, genuine bowl of noodles. If you’re on the fence, wondering about the authenticity of all of the glowing Redwhite Boneless reviews, I would just give it a try.“

“Sushi and Chines. close by“

“Restaurant has fast service, friendly atmosphere and good prices. My food was ready within 10 minutes. I ordered the number 17, combination plate CA roll with teriyaki chicken, I substituted the salad with rice bowl, also had a side of miso soup. All the food was delicious, and fresh. Plenty of parking it’s located in a plaza with also plenty of street parking. I am very pleased with this restaurant. Will definitely come again, it will most likely be my go to place. It is hard to find a sushi restaurant that embodies a relaxing atmosphere with good food. Thank you to the team, I will recommend to all my friends.“

“Absolutely amazing quality and gorgeously-presented food. The staff went above and beyond and all are incredibly informed and obviously enjoy what they do. Rachel was a complete doll and made every moment memorable. One of the best, if not THE best, dining experiences offered in LA.“

“This place is the Go-To spot for sushi.. always fresh and delicious 😋“
