40 Best Japanese Restaurants near Newhall

“I came here on a Wednesday night with my boyfriend and his coworkers. We live right by this place and never knew about it. The spicy tuna salad was recommended and was super delicious! It's served over a chili oil sauce with shaved cucumber, and the tuna is such good quality. We also ordered a variety of sushi which I forgot to photograph because I was so excited to try it. Some were the rainbow roll, crunch roll, eel roll, spider roll, spicy tuna roll, and octopus nigiri. All of them were good, I especially liked the spicy tuna and eel rolls and my boyfriend loved the octopus nigiri. All the fish was extremely high quality and fresh. We also had beer which was cold and delicious. The service was great, the food came out pretty quickly. The restaurant is cute and quite small, so it will probably be quite busy on the weekends and it's possible that you may need to wait for a table. In my opinion, it's worth the wait. I will be returning and plan to be a regular customer here.“

“Love this place! Our family regularly comes to their restaurant on a weekly basis. The chefs, server, and host/managers are friendly. Being a regular customer, we have witnessed the place go through short staffing (from what I've observed) in the past but they managed to still provide good quality food. They now have this one young male server who is extremely professional and good at his craft. This makes the experience even better.“

“Tried this for the first time, it was so so good. Love the amount of options they offer and the person who helped us was very friendly, talkative, and patient. He also made sure to let us know about the student discount which I appreciated.“

“Great atmosphere - fresh sushi - amazing service . For sure best sushi in SCV! Ranking up with sushi from Hawaii !!“

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

“Short Ribs are delicious! Do yourself a favor and order Special B. It comes with Grilled Teriyaki Chicken with Beef Short Ribs, sides of rice and salad plus teriyaki sauce and chili sauce. The short ribs and chicken were not only delicious they were nice and hot! You can tell they came right off the grill! Portion size is big for the price. For appetizer, ordered chicken egg rolls (qty: 3) comes with sweet and sour dipping sauce. Egg rolls were hot and crispy. Owner was very friendly and accommodating. He offered to clean the table before we sat down. I liked and appreciated that. The restaurant is very clean and has a small dining area.“

“Today got to check out Yogis Grill. Looked good when I was browsing places to eat so I gave them a shot. Did not disappoint. I ordered the garlic butter noodles with beef and rice and also a half order of their crunch roll. The noodles were tasty, rice was nice and sticky, and the beef was fantastic, great teriyaki flavor, I did get a side of their spicy teriyaki sauce and that made it even better. The roll was good, if you need a quick sushi fix, definitely did that. Service was great, cashier was friendly. Inside was nice where I ate, clean with music playing, seems like a pretty popular spot for lunch from what I seen. Would definitely go back. I want to try the yakisoba noodles next time.“

“Small and cozy (and hidden above Panda Express on the corner of Reseda and Nordhoff), this Japanese eatery offers traditional dishes at reasonable prices and large portions. The service was prompt and friendly. The chicken katsu curry and seafood Ramen are the two best dishes.“

“Izakaya has some of the best quality fish in Simi Valley. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Tasty, affordable, good size sushi burrito rolls! Highly recommend.“

“Phenomenal taste & magnificent people to be around with“

“Delicious my fiancee and I, were looking for good options for keeping up with this new healthier eating we are trying. 2 hours before closing we arrived after checking google maps, we were greeted with smiles and clear review of the menu. The chicken and steak picture on the wall first caught my eye which we ended up getting. Their dumplings which I don't normally eat were so tasty! The chicken and steak mixed with their terriyaki was really filling ?. Suffice to say we were pleased and very full. Good choice for flavor, quantity, and quality . ?“

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

“We stayed near Six Flags overnight. We came to Tokai 3 times while we were here. Excellent rice, fresh and high quality sea food, traditional... So good... I dont give reviews often but had to foe this place. Pro tip: go for the happy hour/lunch specials for a great deal!“

“I can't believe I hadn't written a review for this restaurant before. This was our go-to Japanese restaurant when we lived in Granada Hills -- it wasn't close by exactly but it's a whole lot closer than going to Little Tokyo or Torrance. My favorite items to order would be the Crispy Rice w/ Spicy Tuna, Seared Albacore w/ Crispy Onion, Seared Garlic Albacore Sashimi, Miso Marinated Black Cod, and an assortment of the sushi. Usually, I would call in for a to-go order, unless you arrive just when they open at 5pm for dinner, the wait can be hour + long. Called in a pick up order today and when I arrived at 1pm with my two kids who were too hungry to get to the actual lunch spot, I put my name down on the waitlist to get a table. We went basic today -- Shrimp and Vegetable tempura, Nabeyaki Udon, and 1 Rainbow row. The Udon wasn't big but had chunks of peppered chicken, napa cabbage, mushrooms, and 1 tempura shrimp -- sometimes when you order udon, it's just broth and noodles, so I was surprised there was a lot in the pot. Fish has always been fresh and today was too. Inside can be fairly noisy but spacious. Service attentive.“

“Shortest review ever .. I absolutely love this place and location and every time I go down to Castaic, my youngest, and I have to stop to get the LB roll. 3 of them actually.. 1 roll each and another to share.. Yeah like that... anyhoo The L.B. Roll offers a fusion of flavors with its combination of crab meat, cucumber, and avocado, baked to perfection and topped with succulent lobster and masago. The textures and tastes blend seamlessly, creating a savory experience, call me biased but this is the best role they have and the only role that I get. The attentive friendly, funny and bubbly wait staff adds to the overall enjoyment, making it a must-try for sushi enthusiasts. The sushi chefs make for a fun time. I can't praise them enough because I only eat sushi once a month and I make it a point to drive from Bakersfield to Castaic for their sushi. Thanks for listening. See you there.“

“Always reliable food and great service. Their food is reasonably priced and may not be the most exciting food out there in terms of originality. However, I have never had anything I didn't love. The teriyaki bowls, udon, and yakisoba are all very popular with my little kids.“

“I'd give this restaurant a 3.5 for the food and a 3 for cleanliness , but I put 4 because of the service. An adorable little restaurant, came in a little late when it wasn't busy and got seated immediately. The 1 server working this night was really nice and attentive, constantly checking in on us and the 2 other tables that were there. The seating area and tables were pretty clean, but when I went to the bathroom it wasn't horrendously dirty, but my main concern was that the toilet had a lot of, I want to assume, little dirty specks on the side of it and on the seat. The sink wasn't as dirty but there were a lot of bugs that went in the little holes and crawling in the bowl (but that is usually typical to see in many sinks). Nothing I was really upset over but it may want to be cleaned more often. Now for the food. Originally came in for a Ramen craving, but I ordered some side things as well along with my boyfriend. A little sad that the Mixed Tempura wasn't a lot, but my boyfriend said it was good for what was on the plate. The Egg rice, in my opinion, was a little bland but not too bad as it wasn't that fancy, it was still nice. My boyfriend had (I believe) the Salmon Roll and said it was good, it made him pretty happy. I really really loved their pork gyoza and would recommend as an appetizer. I also got a Tonkatsu Ramen which was nice but taste wise it was really basic and a little on the bland side of flavor.“

“Came on a Friday night about an hour before closing and the food and service were amazing! I was seated right away. Parking was no issue, plenty spaces large parking lot. Servers were very nice, professional, and efficient. My water was never empty. Sushi chefs were friendly and welcoming. Everything that was ordered tasted delicious. The premium fishes tasted fresh and were well prepared -- especially the nigiri. I really enjoyed the way the sushi chef, Jason, prepared the nigiri with the garnishes. One item, called the spoon, was a tasty bite of blue fin toro, uni, and tobiko and was probably my favorite of the night. Uni is definitely an acquired taste but if you like eating sea urchin, you will enjoy this "spoon". haha. And don't want to forget to mention the green mussels, honestly I didn't have much expectation but wow whatever sauce they make was actually really good, I'll definitely be ordering that again. Side note, I also really liked how they cut the mussel in half which helped make eating it easier, I never received mussels prepared that way before. Overall, I will definitely be back again!“

“I will echo everything that everyone else is saying. The food tastes great. It's the best rice bowl/stir fry place in SCV. Today I had the beef with pineapple and it was delicious. Hot and fresh. The prices are reasonable. The staff is friendly. It is very clean inside. You won't be disappointed.“

“Picked the right place before a 3 day fast. Last meal @1:58pm Absolutely incredible, full of flavor and they brought the spice level up from the last time I came here. Definitely great customer service with a smile. The lobby was clean. It was busy inside but managed to find a seat. I know it's just rice but the rice I ate was made perfectly. Definitely give this location another chance if you rated it less than 5. They definitely deserve to be here.“

“Food is pretty good, but a few things on the menu didn't measure up to what we hoped for. Overall though, I'd say it's a solid choice to try for anyone venturing out for a new sushi spot. It does take quite a while to get your food though and it is a bit loud and stuffy when it is full. Can be a bit overwhelming if you like a relaxing peaceful meal. The last time we went, they off the order wrong after waiting 30 min. The replacement took another 30 minutes and it ended up coming out in pieces for me to assemble myself. Disappointing. Not sure we will be back, but for a one time thing, it's not too bad.“

“Everything....A+++++. Clean and the food for take out was great!“

“Good ramen, good pork buns, and I enjoyed the house sake. It seems like a busy place so was glad to get a seat on a Friday night. My only thing is ramen is never as spicy as I want it to be, but that’s on me.Don’t worry about the reviewers out there complaining about the “misleading” menu. Some of y’all never learned how to read, and it shows.“

“I went last night for my father's bday, and as usual it's still the best sushi restaurant I've been too PERIOD. I got the chance to meet one of the co-owners and had a great discussion with them! Everyone there is always kind, fast yet caring when serving any and all food and/or drinks. The food as usual is just top tier and has never not been consistently amazing each time. I URGE anyone who wants sushi to give them a call, reserve a table, and just enjoy. I can't wait to return. If anyone wants any recommendations, here are our orders (in order of when we place them). Again, this is just preference, everything is amazing. We are a party of 4 and DEFINITELY, can eat. First order: Edamame (plain, spicy, or both), shishito peppers, spicy tuna with crispy rice, extra ginger and wasabi. Second order: 1 order Tuna, salmon, and yellowtail nigiri, 2 orders of albacore(each order of nigiri usually comes in 2 pieces so keep this in mind), and a spicy tuna roll. Third order: Roasted jalapeño role, lemon role, creamy Langostino roll, albacore lovers role, and got sushi role.“

“Not sure where to start. Food quality, serving size, price, ambiance, super nice worker. This place is a GEM. Absolutely in love w the food and the quality. Food is hot and made with love, easy to see when you open the box. Cant recommend enough!“

“Sushi is fresh and so good!“

“Wow! I mean like really wow. This place is fantastic! I have had poké in just about every city in Los Angeles and this place is on point with the best! Super fresh, big servings, great price and what a wonderful welcome! The man working there, his name is Danny. He had me laughing the whole time. Felt like being at home with friends! Thank you PF! You are my new spot!“

“My wife and I visited I Love Sushi the other day for lunch and we will happily add it to our "Let's go out to lunch" locations. My first impression was it was a nice looking restaurant, well laid out and sharp. Not that it matters much to the taste of the food but it does show the owners are serious about their business when a place looks nice. Our serve Maya was efficient and welcoming so that added to the positive vibe. We didn't order much, we shared a Sushi Combo plate and a Rainbow Roll but it was enough to feed us both. The fish was fresh and the shrimp was sweet. So often the shrimp taste dull in other establishments so it was nice to have something fresh and sweet. Lately there seem to be few good Sushi Chefs left in the Santa Clarita valley. Pick up the average roll and dunk it in Soy Sauce and half the Rice falls into the sauce plate. NOT here. It was like the old days when people knew how to roll a good roll and used the right rise so it hung together until you ate it. Yes we will return.“

“This is my go to lunch spot during the work week. If you are looking for a healthy , high protein meal with great taste this is your place! The owner and his staff are incredibly sincere, polite, and efficient, I have never had a bad experience here. The spicy chicken bowl with fried rice will change your life for the better. The fried rice is incredibly fresh with a good amount of scrambled egg to add to the protein content. Great pre-workout meal!“

“Sushi was good but inconsistent. We ordered yellowtail belly. The 1st order that they served us was awesome...melt like butter goodness. We ordered another round and that order tasted like regular yellowtail. Same with the salmon belly. It was good the first time then the second order was still ok but not the same quality. The place is small so sometimes it takes a while to get seated.“

“Over the years I have eaten at many Sushi restaurants. BUT, the quality of food at O' Sushi is unparalleled and will now be my only Sushi restaurant from now on and forever. The staff are very friendly and always make an effort to be sure I was very pleased with my dishes and even recommends many other specialty dishes I have yet to experience. Thank You to all at O'Sushi.“

“Love this place, the service is ok mostly teenagers so it's expected to be the friendliest service but it's not bad. The place itself usually doesn't have a lot of people dining in so it's not a bad place to eat at. The food is alway good we have never had an issue so far with any of our orders.“

“Nice place Delicious Fresh food Many menu Friendly“
