50 Best Sushi Bars near Valley Glen

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

“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.“

“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“

“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“

“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 !“

“Incredible sushi/nigiris 🥹🥹🥹

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

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

“great food. Good service. decent prices“

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

“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“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

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

“Really Outstanding Sushi!!!“

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

“I took 4 of my closest friends here this past weekend. We sat from 12:30-3 and had a blast. The food is incredibly fresh and tasty and the customer service was crazy good! Very warm, welcoming, hospitable, and funny! One server played a few tasteful jokes on our table. Just a really great experience. We would have stayed but they break at 3. 10/10!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Very delicious 😻 very beautiful presentation“

“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.“

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

“If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. The chef - Tony is his name, I believe - is one of those rare dedicated and obsessed perfectionists who make every meal an occasion. Koreatown is a neighborhood with no shortage of great restaurants; this simple establishment is one of the best.“

“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.“

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

“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 😉“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great place!!! We had a wonderful evening with friends yesterday!!!! We will definitely come back here again!!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👌👌👌👌👌“

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

“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.“

“Came to L.A for a quick trip, and stopped here for lunch, best decision ever!!!

The menu was huge. I tried the carpaccio and ceviche, and would have gotten 5 more plates of both if I could! The workers were very kind & helpful . The atmosphere was also peaceful. Would recommend 👍“

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

“Masa-san serves chef's choice, and the food is fresh and delicious. Eating here is an extremely delightful experience. The sweet shrimp with eggs is one of my favorites. Always finish your meal with at least 1 (maybe 2 or ...) of his blue crab rolls. The crab is carefully hand-pulled, the rice is warm, and the seaweed is crisp. You won't find that combination of quality and easy dining experience anywhere else in the Valley. Please try it!“

“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. 🥰❤️🌸

“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!“

“Delicious and freshly prepared food 🥘“

“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“

“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“
