50 Best Sushi Bars near Winnetka

“Our new go to sushi place. First time eating at this place and we were blown away how delicious everything we ordered. We got 2 bento boxes (salmon and beef) tonkatsu ramen (thick slices of chashu!!!) and 2 specialty rolls - Venus and Uranus. Wow!...we are planning to go back to complete the taste of this heavenly solar system.

To top it off, staff were awesome...KANPAI!“

“That sounds like a fantastic dining experience“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“Fresh and delicious. Best sushi in town.“

“it’s my first time at roll roll sushi and I was offered a free miso soup as soon as I walked in I ordered the salmon lover roll and the baked scallop roll and both were delicious. I had my dog with me so we sat outside under cute umbrellas they have out. I’m so happy I decided to try this place out if you’re in the valley you need to give it a try!“

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

“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!“

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

“this was my first time eating here and I was incredibly impressed. the sushi is very fresh and the rolls are fantastic! the service was also excellent! Will definitely be back.“

“A Truly Special Spot
​If you are looking for an exceptional dining experience, I cannot recommend this place enough!
​The Atmosphere: From the moment you walk in, you are embraced by a wonderfully cozy and warm environment. It feels intimate, relaxing, and incredibly inviting. We sat outside and summer evening felt so nice! Our umbrella had tiny lights on the inside.
​The Staff: The team here is genuinely some of the nicest people you will ever meet. Their kindness, warmth, and attentive care make the entire meal feel so special. Joanah was wonderful!
​The Food: The sushi is an absolute masterpiece. The quality, freshness, and delicate flavor of the fish are so perfectly balanced that you do not even need a single drop of soy sauce. It completely stands on its own!
​This restaurant is a rare gem with so much heart, and I will absolutely be coming back.

I really recommend the 007 sushi!
Also the non alcoholic beer was really good!“

“food was fresh . sushi chefs good. nice variety.“

“When I visit my mom in the valley, she enjoys going to Katsuya for lunch. I always have a smile seeing only Latinos making sushi behind the counter. Imagine going to a nice Mexican restaurant and seeing an all Japanese kitchen? Anyways, the sushi quality is good, not great. My moms favorite is the miso cod which costs double in Century City. I was told Katsuya is an independent chain and it's up to the owners the price they set“

“If you love sushi, GO HERE. If you like fancy rooms and big windows? Maybe not. Go’s Mart is a hole-in-the-wall masterpiece. The place is unpretentious orange walls, simple bar seating but Chef Go shows off with whiteboard daily catches, rare fish, and “did you just say gold leaf?” moments. It’s not casual eating. It’s an experience. The price tag made me pause, but each bite justifies it. Friendly service, no fluff, just sushi done really well.“

“Went here for my birthday after friends recommended - had no idea how cool this place would be! From the outside, you definitely don't expect it to be as special as it is inside. We loved the little bites we got. For two of us, it came to about $180 (we ordered about 8 things so not bad). Our favorites were the yellowtail cilantro roll, crispy shrimp & yellowtail sushi. A little bit of a backup when we first arrived (drinks came after our apps came) but I guess they got a rush that they didn't expect. We'll definitely be back, not enough places like this in the area! Loved. :)“

“Here's a polished review in the style of a seasoned food critic:

There are very few restaurants that can maintain both excellence and consistency for more than two decades, and this remarkable sushi destination in Tarzana is one of those rare exceptions. For the past 26 years, they have quietly set the standard for what authentic Japanese hospitality and uncompromising quality should look like.

What immediately stands out is the unwavering commitment to the finest ingredients. Every piece of sushi and sashimi reflects exceptional freshness, precision, and respect for the product. Witnessing the tuna cutting on-site is a testament to their dedication to quality—something true sushi enthusiasts will genuinely appreciate. Every detail, from the knife work to the presentation, is executed with remarkable care.

A great restaurant is built by great people, and the chefs—Archy, Scott, Paul, and Saito—are true masters of their craft. Their experience, consistency, and passion are evident in every plate they prepare. Beyond their technical skill, they create an atmosphere that feels both welcoming and effortlessly professional.

What truly completes the experience is the hospitality. The service is warm, attentive, and sincere, making every visit feel like returning to a place that genuinely values its guests. It is this perfect harmony of extraordinary ingredients, meticulous craftsmanship, and heartfelt service that has allowed this restaurant to remain one of Tarzana's most treasured culinary gems for over a quarter of a century.

Without question, this is a well-deserved five-star establishment and a destination every serious sushi lover should experience.“

“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!“

“Got two rolls and the sashimi combo. Sexy lady and something with salmon and cream cheese. Both were fire. The sashimi combo was so fresh and delirious. I found this place on a whim and I’m so grateful I did. The owner was such a sweetheart. I’ll definitely be coming back here again.“

“Great Sushi! Top Quality!“

“Now it is Osumo Sushi- the food is still just as good as it when it was run by mostly Japanese people. Jose and the others were super nice. First time eating since the change of ownership in 2020. Did time go by that quickly?? lol

Have been eating here for 7 years now -it is our favorite go to place when we have friends or family visiting from out of town, or a celebration.
The staff has always given us something for free- sake, mochi, or an extra roll.
I dislike fish, but decided to give it a go here. I am hooked! Pun intended!

The food has always been fresh, and the prices are better than you would find at most places. It is never very crowded, except for Friday and Saturday nights.
Everyone we bring to Sumo Sushi- even from other countries say the food is better than average.

It's the best kept secret in the valley!“

“Love Jo&Go Sushi. They saved me when we first moved to LA and while the house was being remodeled.

4 years later... it's still as good as first discovered. It's a neighborhood gem inside the Korean Greenland Mrkt, which btw, is also awesome.

Must try is the salmon bowl, the salmon slices are so tender and buttery... they give you a crazy amount of salmon over the rice and seriously it's enough to have a 2nd meal! One note about the bowl... I'm not a fan of drenching really good cooked rice with sauce, so I always order without the sauce. The rice is not sushi rice which makes it even more delicious... the rice is always perfectly cooked. You get a miso soup and a cute little container of pickled radish (delish). I would love to know where they source the fish... it's like being in Japan, it's so fresh.

I'll be catering with them soon and happy to update the review post order.

The kind woman who takes the order is so sweet and cute, always smiling...says hi and bye all the time.

If you're in the area, definitely give it a try for takeaway.“

“Very tasty food. A bit pricey, but worth it.“

“Been coming here for decades still my favorite.“

“Otto Sushi has been our favorite sushi place for years, and honestly, no matter how many other places we try, we always come back.

One thing we love most is consistency. Every single time we order, we know exactly what we’re going to get: incredibly fresh fish, beautifully prepared rolls, and food that is clearly made with care and attention to detail. There’s never any disappointment and never any guessing whether this order will be as good as the last one.

What sets Otto Sushi apart is the quality. The fish is always fresh and flavorful, the portions are generous, and every ingredient feels thoughtfully selected. Nothing tastes mass-produced or rushed. The sauces, seasonings, and flavor combinations are balanced perfectly, allowing each ingredient to shine without overwhelming the others.

It’s hard to describe, but you can genuinely taste the difference between sushi that’s simply made and sushi that’s crafted by people who care about what they’re serving. Every bite feels fresh, clean, and incredibly satisfying.

At this point, whenever we place an order, we actually look forward to its arrival because we know Otto Sushi will never let us down. The food is always delicious, consistently high-quality, and prepared with the same attention to detail we’ve come to appreciate over the years.

Thank you, Otto Sushi, for setting the standard so high and for being our go-to place whenever we’re craving great Japanese food. Highly recommended!“

“Love this place treat you like family“

“Cleanliness and authentic Japanese foods“

“Amazing food. Never tried anything like that before. Fresh, unique, great presentation.“

“Had an amazing experience at Shiso Sushi Sherman Oaks The sushi was extremely fresh, high quality, and beautifully prepared. You can really taste the quality of the fish in every bite.

The service was friendly, professional, and attentive, and the overall atmosphere was clean and relaxing. Everything we ordered came out fresh and delicious.

Definitely one of the better sushi spots in Sherman Oaks if you’re looking for quality sushi and great customer service. Highly recommended.“

“Food were delicious😀“

“Excellent little sushi place! And I mean excellent! A friend and I went there today for lunch and there wasn’t a single dish we were disappointed in. We ordered several rolls and sushi and even some mochi ice cream for dessert. Outstanding service too.“

“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.“

“As a first-time customer, I had a great experience at Sushi Katsuya. The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for quality sushi.“

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

“Sushi Spot is by far the most exquisite and fresh sushi I’ve ever had. It’s what I miss the most about living in California and going there will be my highest priority when I visit. It’s absolutely that amazing! 🙏“

“Great food, awesome customer service,so many options“

“I really love this place! Cocktails menu is amazing, the Lychee Mojito 10/10, always a must for me.
Place was packed, of course it was a Friday night and the Lakers were playing, I recommend making s reservation.
Despite how busy the place was, out server David took care of us, great service and delicious food!“

“Great food and service. The best salmon skin salad we have ever had. Most places strip all the meat off, but at Hirosa they leave a bit of meat on the skin which adds even more flavor and texture.“

“Id rather gate keep this sushi spot to be honest but I wont lol foods great never had a bad meal there 😋 so many options on the menu even the pickiest eater will find something and everyone was happy I had my birthday dinner there and they accomidated a party of 15 people very easily food took a moment because of the large party but thats understandable. 2 👍“

“Outstanding Service Delicious 😋 Sushi 🍣“

“Hidden gem doesn't even begin to describe To Die For Sushi. Nestled in a humble space in Northridge, this place is so unassuming you might walk right past it--but don't. Because once you walk in and sit at the bar, you'll realize you've discovered one of the best sushi experiences in all of Los Angeles.

Chef Danny is a true artist. We had front-row seats to his craft and were mesmerized watching him turn simple ingredients into edible masterpieces. Every slice, every plate--pure precision and passion.

We shared a bento box with mixed tempura, mixed sushi, and sashimi, and were blown away by the variety and balance. The Heart Attack (fried jalapeño stuffed with cream cheese and topped with spicy tuna) was absolute fire--bold, indulgent, and perfectly crispy.

The Toro and salmon were melt-in-your-mouth perfection--fresh, buttery, and honestly some of the best I've had anywhere in L.A.

Our server, Samantha, was fantastic--warm, attentive, and clearly knew the menu well. She made great recommendations and timed everything perfectly.

This place is a sushi lover's dream, without the pretense or the inflated prices of trendy spots. The prices are really affordable and the quality top notch. I have paid a lot more for so much less elsewhere. Do yourself a favor and sit at the bar--watch the magic happen, savor every bite, and thank me later.

“This Food Truck is a gem to us, for the rolls we get, Sur sushi is convenient and we enjoy the sushi. We order often and have never had a problem. You can call or text to place your order. The cashier is very friendly. They are not open Mondays or Tuesdays and are only open evenings. If your not up for dealing with a restaurant even for take out, check this place out.“

“J are server was nice and very helpful“

“Super high quality fish, great food all around. Staff are super friendly and nice. Highly recommend.“

“My wife and I love sushi. We enjoy Katsuya and Nobu and many other fine establishments. We stopped going to these places (at a risk of sounding old) because of the the noise, the attitude, the kids screaming and have discovered this amazing gem in Encino - walking distance from our home.

Sushi - fresh and A++
Rolls - Creative and huge!
Wine - best pour I have ever seen.
Reasonable corkage
Best salmon ever

It's a quiet place - under control - a relaxed atmosphere - friendly staff and helpful chefs. Most importantly - Incredible sushi and more - a very extensive menu.

Check it out - it is a 5 star dining experience. Not fancy - but delicious.“

“Yes, excellent in so many ways. Go for the Sushi, the atmosphere, and the wait staff. While this cute and quaint Sushi Bar gets very busy, you will know why when you sit down. This has quickly become our GoTo Sushi in the Valley. Attention to detail, and delivered with flavor and presentation. Picture(s) attached.“

“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.“

“I celebrated Mother’s Day on the 12th of May 2024 at Joey in Woodland Hills. Very friendly atmosphere. Friendly welcoming . We had a very good and friendly service from Kavin. Good food. Nice presentation.“

“The sushi here is absolutely excellent, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. You can really taste the quality in every bite. It’s also such a great value for the price, which makes the experience even better. I especially recommend the vegetarian roll, which was delicious, and the salmon avocado roll, which was perfectly balanced and so satisfying. The specialty dishes are fantastic as well, the crispy tuna dish, in particular, was outstanding and full of flavor.
One detail I really noticed and appreciated was how beautifully they cut the avocado. It’s such a small thing, but it shows the level of care and attention that goes into every plate, making the presentation just as enjoyable as the taste.
I really like that there’s the option to order individual rolls from the menu, which I personally preferred. At the same time, they also offer really good lunch specials that are generous and worth checking out if you want a complete meal at a great price. We came here for dinner and everything exceeded expectations.
Another thing that stood out, aside from the food, was the care and attention from the chef. It’s clear that he pays attention to his customers and takes pride in making sure everyone has a great experience, which adds so much to the atmosphere. The service overall was warm, attentive, and friendly, making the evening even more enjoyable.
I also have to mention the ginger — it was excellent, fresh, and had just the right flavor, which I personally loved. It elevated the sushi perfectly and showed the thoughtfulness that goes into the small details here.
Overall, this restaurant is a real gem. From the fresh and delicious sushi to the beautifully cut avocado, the attentive chef, excellent service, and even the little touches like the quality ginger, everything came together to make it a memorable dining experience. Highly recommended for both lunch and dinner!“
