50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Winnetka

“Amazing service and the food is top notch! Would recommend to others, today I went for some yummy sushi and received my food with care and love ❤️. There was a rude and entitled customer when I was there unfortunately, but the owner dealt with him with respect and kindness. This goes to show the quality of this restaurant. I hope that guy never comes back because the owners do not deserve such mistreatment! Thank you for your patience and kindness!“

“Dr Dre and Andersen Pak restaurant. Sign me up! The service and atmosphere were great. We ordered alot of food and got to try alot of different things. Some were great like the wagyu beef and others were just OK which is why I gave it 3 stars. It's probably closer to 4 considering the service was great. Drinks were good also. I will admit in not a sushi person so I only tried one piece of sushi and it wasnt for me.“

“Overall good experience. Service was helpful and communicative.

Happy Hour was but one get one half off of Rolls. We had 4 rolls and 2 appetizers, minus 5% for paying in cash was $80.

Ex girlfriend roll was my favorite! The crispy rice and tuna was also delicious!

Just a good hole in the wall- definitely worth checking out.“

“Needed a fast, casual, affordable (relative) healthy option for lunch before seeing the Strange Darling matinee at Regal Theater /Sherman Oaks Galleria. Bam! We found it at Hana. I had the teriyaki salmon bowl (crispy delicious salmon, fluffy soft rice) and my bro had chicken katsu plate crispy delicious chicken, fluffy soft rice). Both dishes came with generous portions of fresh veggies. You can eat in on clean tables, or sit in the courtyard under umbrellas. Will definitely come again. If you're looking for high end/fine dining it's probably not your thing. But the food was fresh and tasty and the service was friendly and kind. ?“

“Great portions. Super friendly staff. I love the options for the toppings. I wish they had sweet mayo to balance the flavors and make the bowl creamier. The brown rice felt a little heavy and dry compared to other places. Since it was my first time, the staff gave me a wonton taco shell. That really kicked the taste up a notch.“

“Atmosphere is quaint and the food amazing I actually really love the jazz music that they play and the variation of sake that they offer

Parking: The parking lot is well lit and always a lot of parking with a security guard walking around“

“Genuinely the best Katsu I've had in the valley, only thing I'd change is offering macaroni salad. But the sides it came with were DELICIOUS and the serving size was amazing for the price. Will definitely be going back to try everything else.“

“I love this place , honestly the most delicious ramen I’ve ever had .. been coming here for about 2 years and I can’t get enough of it .. staff is honestly great ! Super nice ! The atmosphere is calm ☺️ and no one is Hurrying u to finish your food . I really recommend this place .. sometimes it does get full because is super small but I don’t mind waiting ? most I waited was 10 mns“

“Brothers Sushi is a must. Make a reservation and you can’t go wrong with anything you order.“

“Definitely 5 stars, I loved the food and the different sauces they have, they are kind to serve people, the food is very good, I ordered New York rice with meat and I loved it.

Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance is accessible for people arriving in a wheelchair.“

“We swung by this pleasant and personable place to satisfy an evening boba fix. We ordered a taro and an original milk tea, both of which were divine. I noticed that many of the ingredients for the various beverages were in plain sight from the counter and were quality, authentic, and fresh. Thanks for the night cap!“

“Nice intimate dinner spot for friends or a date. I ordered the Bento box dinner combo with 3 sides for around $30 a person. (Depends on how many premium sides you pick. Sushi is a few bucks more) Comes with miso soup, salad, and steamed rice. I chose the salmon teriyaki, salmon avocado roll, and golden crunch roll. Fresh fish and hot soup. Overall 10/10 value and flavor. ✨️

Vegetarian options: Vegan ramen and sushi available.

Parking: Turn right to enter the parking garage
There's also more parking on the second level.“

“Omg it was so nice to come back here JUST for Teriyaki Ya. The number 2 is to die for. Best beef skewers if had.

Only gripe is the place is small and hot as f***. Hope they expand and make a better dining area.

Parking: Park in the back. Way easier.“

“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 stopped by for a quick dinner on my way to LA Airport. You can't eat in the restaurant, only take out. Since we had nowhere to go, our family of four parked in the parking lot and ate it, but we inhaled a lot. They use more ingredients than other rolls, and each roll has its own unique characteristics. The miso soup that came with it was also good!“

“Delicious sushi and fantastic service! A new favorite for sure 🍣“

“The food is so yummy. We ordered the chicken and steak with veggies and rice plate and the tofu with veggies and rice bowl. Similar to Wa$a with better quality meats and much better customer service.

Kid-friendliness: My kid loves it.“

“Who thought that classic American fare and Japanese cuisine could mesh so well??!!“

“Okay?get ready! This is a killer 5-star Hibachi restaurant!

“A great place to enjoy fresh sushi when visiting Canoga Park!
The building is unique with a warm and cozy vibe.
The food is consistently fresh, great portions and delicious.
The service is always great, friendly and always available

The koi pond at the entrance is awesome“

“Roll Roll is an absolute gem! From the moment we stepped inside, the service was warm and welcoming. We were invited to choose our own seats, and within moments, waters and complimentary miso soup were brought to the table—a lovely gesture.

The food was served incredibly quickly, and every dish was a delight. The garlic edamame was bursting with flavor, the ginger house salad was perfectly balanced, and the cucumber salad was light and refreshing. My California roll with smelt egg was spot on, and the avocado roll was equally fantastic.

The prices were very reasonable, especially for the quality and location in LA. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!“

“I Google mapped it and I didn't realize that it was in the swap meet. But it was a nice surprise. The gentleman's very nice and he's also very talented and his food was delicious. Don't knock the spot if you're in the area the swap meet? It's quite quaint in neighborhoodish if you're in this area this time I did take photos.“

“I picked up the miso to hold me over till dinner and the soup is great! I think the awesome service is what stands out to me the most, though. Thank you chefs! I’ll be back to try the steak!“

“The food and service was excellent.“

“This is a great place to get a boba tea and a quick bite to eat. I'll definitely be back to check out more! Nice friendly staff. Check it out!“

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

“Great sushi.Hits the sweet spot between the fancy, super high priced sushi and the lower end, bare bones (but still not cheap) sushi.Excellent quality fish with creative garnishes, and large portions. We tried only one special roll and it was sensational. Unlike many large rolls at other places, all the individual components stood out. (Often, I find these big rolls essentially interchangeable.)Not a cheap meal, but great cost to value ratio.Bryant is a terrific, enthusiastic server.“

“I ordered chicken teriyaki bowls with no veggies to go. They have a bunch of sauces you can choose from. I tried the orange, bulgogi, and the teriyaki sauces. I liked the bulgogi the most and my son liked the teriyaki sauce the most. The customer service was great, they were very patient with me when I had to change my order due to someone else. I think next time I will add veggies and try some more sauces and meats. The place looked clean and the staff was nice. I will definitely come again and I'm glad it's near my house“

“I got the curry katsu and I've had the katsudon before and they were both delicious!Plus the curry katsu comes with a side of miso, salad and pickled veggies. It's plenty of food and the katsu was bigger than my hand.It's located at the food court area inside of Galleria market so it's an easy spot to go in and get lunch. Parking lot can get full but at 2pm on a weekday, there was plenty of parking.I've ordered from here multiple times and haven't been disappointed. Great spot“

“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 :)“

“I have been to just about every teriyaki chicken bowl place from here to Portland and this is by far the best. If you've ever seen the anime food wars every bite is like the scenes when one of the judges takes a bite of the dish and they nut so hard there clothes explode off of them. Also they price is insane for how good it is. I love this place and make sure to get it as much as possible whenever I'm in the la area“

“Came here on the suggestion of a friend. Was not disappointed. I love all you can eat sushi spots, and this one did not disappoint. Parking is easy here, service is quick (came here on a Thursday night) and the food is great. I don’t live in the valley so it was refreshing to try a new-to-me sushi spot!

Vegetarian options: Cucumber, avocado rolls, and more.

Parking: You should be able to find parking but it is a small lot shared with other businesses.“

“OTTO SUSHI was amazing their portions were generous but not huge so you know they weren’t prioritizing quantity over quality. Our order consisted of the chicken teriyaki bento box, eel avocado roll, and the garlic yellowtail roll i believe that was the name…everything was delicious but my favorite had to be the Garlic roll, the use of garlic chips unsparingly was the star of the show. We will definitely be back!“

“Chef Shin and his wife are phenomenal hosts. The full omakase is unique and beautifully presented by the chef. Furthermore, Shin does his best to impress every customer, while describing the dish and even showing pictures of the fish prior to preparing. The omakase fee is extremely competitive and the saki list is top notch. All items are seasonal and well chosen by the chef. You will probably taste some seafood that you have never tasted before. Please try Sushi Miyagi, and I guarantee that you will be booking another reservation right after you leave.“

“They used to be amazing but last visit the food and sushi quality got downhill and service was lacking too. despite asking several times for more ginger and Wasabi but got ignored about it. gave 1 plate of it for 2 people. price however doesn't justify the quality anymore. sushi were keep falling apart . not like they used to be. still fresh . it's ok but not for the price“

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

“My sister goes to this place for take out and the food was amazing.I will bring my family here as well.“

“The service was exceptional, and the food was fresh, perfectly prepared, beautifully plated, and delicious. The prices were surprisingly good, and I highly recommend this establishment.“
