50 Best Sushi Bars near Valley Village

“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 and Chines. close by“

“The blue crab don buri is the best yummmmmy one of my favorite sushi joints of all time“

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

“Amazing and thoughtful service from Pierre!
I'm particular about my sushi, especially salmon. But I can say Azai is the best sushi I've had in California so far. The salmon sashimi is juicy and the salmon roll melts in mouth, just like my favorite sushi place in NY. I'm excited to come back!“

“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“

“Fresh fish and impressive knife skills from the chef. Sitting at the counter and watching the precision, technique, and attention to detail made the experience even more enjoyable. Every piece was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. Highly recommend.“

“I highly recommend Sushis Takeda. I absolutely loved the experience: the service from the waitstaff was excellent—always attentive and very friendly—which made the whole visit even more enjoyable.

What stood out most was the *omakase* format, where the chef prepares a perfect selection —and honestly, it does not disappoint. I was served by the team of Jairo, Sami, and Demi, and everything we tasted was delicious. Every single dish had incredible flavor, and the quality was evident.

Plus, I really enjoyed the sake 🍶; it complemented the entire experience perfectly.

It is definitely a place I would return to without a second thought. 👌🍣“

“I’m so gobsmacked at how amazing this food is that I’m writing a review while I’m still here.
We had 5 nigiri sushi rolls, the crispy spicy tuna appetizer, and the wagyu sliders. It was the most incredible meal I’ve ever had. You must come here - the server we had (Umida) was insanely amazing and super helpful - she really elevated the experience and made sure we didn’t order too much food!“

“Came in for a conference and had lunch at Momi Sushi after checking into our hotel. We tried the sashimi sampler, miso soup, fish of the day nigiri and the tamago nigiri. Everything was incredibly fresh, accented with light complimentary flavors. I loved the dine-in ice bowls for the sashimi. Well worth it. If we have time before we have to go home, we will definitely be back.“

“We had the Ume Omakase menu and didn't even know sushi could be so good. Such a wonderful experience for our anniversary. Atmosphere is cozy and friendly.

Boyfriend's review: How do I give 100/5 stars?!? This was honestly a life changing sushi experience“

“Exceptional food! Hamachi collar, red snapper soup! And sushi. Authentic; which is why it was so good!“

“The atmosphere was fantastic, and the food was delicious. However, the service was disappointing. Our server was condescending and repeatedly interrupted our moment by crossing between us without a word. When I asked about drinks, she was short and even gave inaccurate descriptions. This is my second visit, and both times with the same server have left a sour taste. I hope the service improves because the food deserves better! This is my second visit, and both times with the same brunette server, whose attitude left a sour taste.“

“First thing first, the sushi is really fresh. We got the toro, salmon belly, and the yellowtail belly. Saba is a little fishy. The rice is a bit mushy but good enough.

The cooked food is not as great. The agedashi tofu has too much breading and taste average. Kaiju tar tar is okayyy.

The service however took forever, and they never come to check up on us. Servers reach over to get dishes for other tables. Maybe they are short staffed but they should still handle us probably.“

“Sawa is easily a top-10 restaurant in my opinion. The chef deserves a star. The entire experience went beyond my expectations, truly outstanding. I had so much fun dining there; the environment is friendly, and every bite was delicious. The host was spectacular, especially for suggesting we split the sake pairing, for someone who doesn’t drink much, it was more than enough. I’m already looking forward to coming back.“

“The food was amazing!! Great experience.“

“Phenomenal experience and the staff was excellent.“

“okay i could write an entire novel about my experience here, but i will keep it brief. my sister and i came to the WeHo Uchi to celebrate my birthday after hearing lots of buzz about it. When we entered, we were immediately greeted warmly and had a lovely exchange with the host. The ambiance was beautiful, everything was pristine and curated, and everyone member of the staff were friendly and comfortable to speak to. Our waiter—whom i sadly cannot remember the name of— truly went above and beyond with his service. We ordered the omakase for two and a few other small dishes, but he threw in two on the house— one being wagyu as a “birthday present” and the other being nigiri. We were choosing between the nigiri and a roll, and when we ultimately chose the roll, our waiter brought us both dishes anyway. Everything felt incredibly thoughtful and personal; there was even a little handwritten card wishing me a happy birthday. The food came out very swiftly—and speaking of the food, it exceeded our expectations. Everything was fresh, beautiful in its presentation, and very unique. This is one of the few sushi places in LA that I think truly lives up to the hype surrounding it. thank you for a great birthday dinner; we will be back again, again, and again!“

“Very delicious 😻 very beautiful presentation“

“Delicious and freshly prepared food 🥘“

“It was Absolutely delicious!“

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

“Budonoki is a true hidden gem. Every dish is beautifully presented, incredibly flavorful, and genuinely satisfying. The owner is warm and welcoming, and the service is thoughtful—our server even surprised us with complimentary items from the chef, all of which were outstanding.

My husband and I keep coming back and have brought clients, friends, and family, and everyone has had a great experience. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate with dim lighting, limited seating, and a relaxed vibe set to tasteful hip hop in the background.

Overall, it’s a standout spot we’re always happy to return to.“

“I actually wasn’t planning to come here but i saw this cute patio area of this restaurant and wanted to check out.

Honestly i was so impressed of the friendliness of the staffs and the quality of the food!

My boyfriend and I ordered the Sachi boat, assorted sushi and sashimi and a specialty roll on this cute boat and everything was delicious!

Will definitely come back here. So glad to find a cute date spot to come back to. :)“

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

“Best Sushi in LA by far !“

“We had the chance to celebrate Sushi Zanmai’s 1-year anniversary, and it was such a fun experience from start to finish. The restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, and you can tell they truly care about quality and hospitality.

One of the highlights is that Sushi Zanmai has its own exclusive house sake, which made the experience even more unique. We enjoyed a sake tasting, and each bottle had its own smooth, well-balanced flavor that paired beautifully with the food. If you enjoy Japanese sake, this is something you definitely shouldn’t skip.

We ordered the Zanmai Gozen, and it was the perfect way to experience a variety of the restaurant’s specialties. The beautifully presented set included fresh sashimi, crispy shrimp and vegetable tempura, flavorful appetizers, a creative specialty roll, and perfectly cooked bites finished with rich sauces and just the right amount of spice. Every item was fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and showcased authentic Japanese flavors.

The presentation was stunning, the ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, and every bite reflected the attention to detail that Sushi Zanmai is known for. The chefs were welcoming, and watching them prepare the dishes added to the overall dining experience.

If you’re looking for the best Japanese restaurant, fresh sushi, premium sashimi, authentic Japanese cuisine, or a great place to enjoy Japanese sake, Sushi Zanmai is absolutely worth visiting. Congratulations on your first anniversary I can’t wait to come back and explore more of the menu. Highly recommended!“

“great food. Good service. decent prices“

“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“

“Gorgeous restaurant! Aesthetically very beautiful and the food delivered!! We got the oxtail bao, crispy rice, Leona sushi roll, the fusion baked sushi roll with carbonara sauce, and cocktails! This place is the must in the valley! The outdoor patio is also stunning!! we will definitely be back“

“This place is the BEST. The chef is outstanding and prepares everything with caring and expertise. The food it top notch and not too expensive. It's relaxing and homey and fun. The couple who own it are friendly and sometimes everyone in the restaurant talks with everyone else. People eat here over and over because it feels relaxing and yet the food is top notch. The chef is an expert. I can't recommend it more highly.“

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

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

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

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

“We’re big fans of Omakase and have also been to the Culver City location, which is just as good. Both spots consistently deliver an incredible experience.
The sushi is amazing- super fresh, beautifully made, and you can tell a lot of care goes into every bite. The Santa Monica location keeps that same high standard we’ve come to expect, with great service and a chill but still elevated vibe.
It’s one of those spots you just know you’re going to leave happy every time. Highly recommend if you love really good sushi and a solid omakase experience.“

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

“My go to sushi spot for a couple years now. I absolutely love the vibes, the food, and the prices. DoorDash runs deals for delivery from here all the time too if you’re looking for a chill night in. The staff is all friendly and the place itself feels welcoming. Truly a hidden gem for the locals. Gonna include some favs of people I’ve taken here: ultimate salmon roll, crispy rice spicy tuna (they don’t add mayo which I love), yellowtail kama, veggie gyoza“

“I ordered from Uber eats. First time trying this store and omg it was so good. I saw a video and I get all the hype. All the dishes were super delicious my favorite was the Spicy BBQ Pork Yubu ​super yummy. the best part is that the portions are really generous for the price. you won't regret eating here super yummy.“

“I love this place! They have the best “French dip” ever.“

“I came here after visiting Universal Studios, and it was surprisingly good. Everything we ordered was delicious, the fish was fresh, and the prices were very reasonable. We paid a good price for two people, and it was definitely worth it. I'll definitely be coming back!“

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

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

“Great spot with all the feelings Japan. Amazing skewers and phenomenal hand rolls. Couldn’t get enough of the salmon sashimi. Great sake selection (we finished three bottles) and multiple drafts to sip. Engaging staff with a chef who knows what he is doing. We will return! 🍣 🇯🇵 🍱“

“Really Outstanding Sushi!!!“

“I had an absolutely wonderful time dining here. The food was consistently fresh and beautifully presented.

Every roll I tried was prepared with such care. I particularly loved the vibrant colors of the sushi, especially the beautiful orange slices of lemon resting right on top of the rolls. Everything tasted just as good as it looked.

This place is a real gem in North Hollywood. I will definitely be back again soon.“

“Best sushi anywhere! Been going to Sasabune for decades.“

“Our server Peter was fantastic. He has a great personality, a genuinely friendly attitude, and never made us feel rushed, which we really appreciated.
The sushi was fresh and delicious. One thing that stood out was that the rolls had a generous amount of fish instead of being mostly rice. In fact, the rice portion was surprisingly light, which I personally loved because it let the quality of the fish shine through.
And the Red Wine Roll is an absolute must try, trust me, you will thank me later.“

“Just go here. They are amazing. Best omakase sushi in LA. The concept is fantastic, service is even better, and they genuinely understand what makes sushi good.

Honest criticism: The tamago was a bit subpar against how amazing the rest was. Secondly some may be off put by the slightly cold lighting, yet I think they are wrong in such an assessment. Sure it isn’t perfect for Instagram but it highlights the food better.“
