50 Best Sushi Bars near Valley Glen

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

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

“best rolls in the Valley don't go anywhere else“

“Has the best poke around the area by far! Tried another poke place near there and instantly regretted it so if you’re by the area always pick this place! They offer really good portions and the fish is always good. The only complaint is now they’re offering a coffee and matcha and if you don’t know how to make it just don’t sell it. Got the ‘matcha’ iced latte and was served a glass of milk with green tint it was just sad. Who orders matcha to drink a glass of whole milk?“

“5 stars for the delicious and high quality sushi. plus i have a gluten allergy and the chef/ server was super considerate and knew exactly what needed to be modified. my favorites were the bluefin tuna nigiri and the yellowtail hand roll (with soy paper), and i don’t typically like yellowtail.

however, i did not realize there was a 16% service fee included in the bill. it says so on the menu so that’s my oversight but at kazu nori, for example, the server tells you not to tip because of the service fee. so on the little screen i tipped 20% on top of the 16% service fee and tax. it’s my bad for not paying closer attention but they don’t verbally tell you either.“

“That sounds like a fantastic dining experience“

“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!“

“Good Japanese foods , many varieties of dishes . The fish grilled sea bass is cooked just perfectly fine . The salad is kinda american Japanese fusion but still good . The carbonara noodle - I don’t really care (It doesn’t really fit with the rest of the dishes) - overall is a great place to enjoy Japanese foods“

“This place for years has been my all time favorite. The service is unbelievably fast, welcoming and of top notch and respectful. The food is always fresh and the chefs you
Can tell are very passionate on what they do and the hold the Japanese craft to a high regard. I spoke to the manager he carries himself with his culture and pride very high. He is so incredibly kind and respectful. The restaurant really is a sight to behold and truly a gem in the United States. I drive an hour there without hesitation. As far as I’m concerned there is no place like it. Until next time 🙏“

“The food was amazing!! Great experience.“

“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.“

“Uchi is pretty decent. The vibe is cool trendy. Service was polite but felt bit rushed and not as personable.
Food-wise, nothing was terrible, but not mind blowing either. A couple of dishes were tasty, a couple were bland, the sushi rice is left to be desired.
Prices felt a bit high for an experience that screams ‘it’s fine. Not in huge rush to be back.“

“Best Sushi in LA by far !“

“Amazing food and service, chef Hilo made my experience feel like I was truly understanding each bite I took into my food. Amazing atmosphere“

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

“We visited the restaurant for their brunch buffet and had an overall enjoyable experience. The food was good and delicious — everything was fresh and well-prepared. However, we felt the menu leaned more toward the classic side and didn't offer anything particularly unique or standout. It was satisfying, just not especially memorable in terms of creativity or variety. The ambience was lovely — comfortable, stylish, and welcoming — a great setting for a relaxed weekend brunch. The service was good as well; the staff were courteous and attentive. That said, drink service was a bit on the slower side that day, but it didn't take away too much from the overall experience. If you're looking for a solid brunch option with a pleasant atmosphere and reliable food, this is a good choice. We'd consider returning, especially for a laid-back group outing or family get-together.“

“Sushi n Matcha Sho is the BEST sushi in Los Angeles. Everything is so fresh and delicious and the quality is top tier every time I come in. From the miso soup to the specialty rolls, you can really tell how much care and pride is put into the food they serve.

My girlfriend and I stumbled upon this place by accident 6 months ago and it’s become our go to sushi spot. Despite living in Burbank, we try to make the trek to Sushi n Matcha Sho as often as we can.

Our favorites include the crunchy roll, rainbow roll, and the crunchy tuna rice, but the real star of every meal we have here has to be the Baked Crab Roll. The flavor is amazing, and the crab practically melts in your mouth. Additionally, the lemonade and matcha is to die for and pairs perfectly with anything you could order.

The staff is amazingly kind and the chef is an incredible talent, we love sitting at the sushi bar and watching him work anytime we come in.

If you’re looking for the best sushi in LA for a fraction of the cost of some of the other sushi spots in the city, Sushi n Matcha Sho needs to be the top of your list.“

“They have the best rolls! Very reasonable price. We eat here & to go very often“

“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.“

“I had lunch there twice this week. The food is excellent. The fish is very fresh, specials are unique and delicious. Baked green lip mussels were amazing, baked black cod hand roll in soy paper was terrific. When I’m back in town I will be there again. My office is around. The corner.“

“Really phenomenal high quality sushi. They had some really wonderful, unique and delicious vegetarian options that were just as elegant and beautifully presented as the fish options. My husband who loves fish said his meal was some of the best sushi he ever had. We'll definitely be back!“

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

“Ok, this place is crazy good!
Totally worth the hype. It doesn't take reservations, so be prepared to wait, but the food is so worth it I can't even explain. Definitely the best sushi I've ever had.
We arrived relatively early, around 6:30 pm, and they told us there would be about a 1- to 1.5-hour wait for a table, but our table was ready within 45 minutes. It's small inside, nothing fancy. The food, though... omg! I would recommend getting in line and then going to do something else around the neighborhood, because otherwise, you'll just kind of randomly wait on the street. Definitely a must-try.“

“Really Outstanding Sushi!!!“

“The food is sooooo good!!! It’s my comfort food now but the service is awful…We were the only customers in the restaurant at that time. When I asked for two pairs of chopsticks at the counter, the staff member appeared to ignore me completely. I had to repeat my request twice before she reluctantly looked up and threw the chopsticks at me. The service was disappointing and unnecessarily rude.“

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

“Very delicious 😻 very beautiful presentation“

“seats 10 for a personalized tour of sushi for the purist. exceptional style and quality of fish. superbly presented by a Michelin star chef on front of you. book far in advance“

“One of the best sushi I’ve had in Southern California, small place not fancy at all but it is a recommended experience must try.“

“Amazing spot! Will be back for sure!!“

“I love the owner Wendy .The food is amazing s a Mx drinks are organic ;)“

“Delicious and freshly prepared food 🥘“

“Just different sushi combos. The garlic edamame were fair, but everything else was delicious“

“Everything is delicious. Never have I had a subpar meal. A+“

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

“Excellent! Totally lives up to the hype. Every dish we had was delicious but the salmon sushi, sweet potatoes and salmon collar were the standouts for me. Only thing I think they could work on is the space— tables set between breaks in the booth, air conditioning that turns the food cold quickly, blindingly bright neon lights. It could just be a bit more comfortable. Still, highly recommend!“

“Sushi Zanmai has great sushi and other dishes. They also have hot dishes. The place is just so pretty and the seating is comfortable and inviting. Make a reservation as it will get crowded at night.

Everything is just so fresh and filled with flavor. The tuna is my personal favorite. But I also love their hot dishes. Their rice is great and I love rice so I have to have it.

Their menu is on a pad which I don't like, but they deal with it.

The prices are high, but such is the cost of great fish these days. They have great combination plates that the whole table will love.

As to the service, it is fantastic. the entire staff is welcoming and will help you with the menu if you need it. They are fast and super helpful.

You will have a relaxing and great time there. Have fun.“

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

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

“This place is very chill and clean, with a self-serve bar for miso soup, ginger, wasabi, tea, and water. But I'm stopping in the middle of eating to write this review specifically because this is the best nigiri I can ever recall having!“

“Awesome !!“

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

“great food. Good service. decent prices“

“Amazing Omakase, the quality of the food and the preparation are out of this world. Never had experienced anything like this before, this must come close to the highest standard places in Japan. How should one describe the interior and vibe of the restaurant... reduction to fully focus on the food, I'd say. Intimacy is guaranteed.“

“***EXPERIENCE 1*** (Positive) 09/22/25

This restaurant has the layout, and feel of Japanese restaurants from days gone by. However, at the same time, it's very modern and stylish.

I entered with my Mom, and we were immediately greeted and seated. Our server was very friendly and had a great personality. It turns out he was very knowledgeable as well. I ordered the Salmon Shioyaki Entree, and Mom ordered the Miso Marinated Black Cod Entree. The Entrees come with Soup & Salad. The salad was subtly flavorful. With the greens, vegetables, crunchy topping, and dressing combining to create a delicious starting salad. The Miso Soup was very flavorful, and well balanced. They were both wonderful ways to start a meal. My Salmon Shioyaki was incredible. The Shio (Salt), enhances the natural flavor of the Salmon, and helps in browning, and creating crispy tasty salmon skin. The flesh was firm, yet tender and flaky. Just a squeeze of lemon, and it was perfection exemplified. The accompaniments, and rice, along with the delicious mixed Vegetables made it a complete meal. I had a taste of the Miso Black Cod. The glazed Miso flavor was undeniable, as the Black Cod melted in my mouth, ending in deliciousness.

A Japanese meal embodies that the sum of all parts, equals the whole. The Entrees here are examples of that philosophy.

The prices here are well worth it, considering what you get. The whole staff here is very friendly. Our server helped make our dining experience fantastic. We hope to see him again. We will be back,“

“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“

“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.“
