21 Best Sushi Bars in Glendale

“a true gem. there are no frills here and the sushi speaks for itself. I have never had to wait for a table and the service is direct, and courteous. they provide incredible ginger that they will refill throughout your meal, so go crazy, it’s addictive. and the wasabi. freshly grated, sweet, fluffy, this is the real deal.
my favorites are the sweet shrimp, the uni served with hokkaido and santa barbara side by side, the halibut, and red snapper. but it’s all very very good.
every time i am seated, the waiter reminds me, no special roll, no california roll, and I couldn’t be happier.“

“DELICIOUS!! My hubby and I decided to pop in on a whim and we’re so glad we did! Our server Mark was sooo attentive and had delicious recommendations. The yuzu albacore and spicy scallop hand rolls were so fresh and stood out. Chef Joab made every roll and nigiri we ordered to perfection and was very friendly, making the experience memorable! Honestly, even the host and other staff were kind/welcoming throughout the eve. We will definitely return!“

“Food Delicious Service excellent ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Just go and order Omakase. It is the sushi experience of your life!“

“Blue Fish Japanese Sushi – Where the Mountains Meet the Roll

Montrose feels like a town time forgot - in the best way. Tucked beneath the shadow of the Verdugo Mountains, the main strip holds onto something rare: a rhythm that hasn’t been rushed. There’s a sense of place here. A walk down Honolulu Avenue is part small-town Americana, part hidden food haven.

And in the middle of it all sits Blue Fish Japanese Sushi - a spot that doesn’t scream for your attention but earns it bite by bite.

Start with the spicy tuna on crispy rice. No frills, no flash - just flavor done right. The edamame is fresh, the vegetable tempura hits that perfect light crunch, and the rolls? However you choose to roll, they’ll deliver.

There’s a seasonality to the experience here - not in the menu, but in the way it makes you feel. A quiet kind of comfort, a reminder that good food doesn’t always need a spotlight. Sometimes, it just needs a seat at the sushi bar and a view of the mountains.

Bluefish is a must - not just in Montrose, but for anyone chasing the soul of a place through its food.“

“Very nice atmosphere and good food.“

“Love their food.:) love the Spicy tuna roll“

“I like this place. Premium rolls are delicious!!!!“

“A hidden gem in Montrose. Very good food, attentive service, reasonable price.“

“I loved the food! Everything was served so quickly, and the staff was fabulous. I especially liked the waitress named Sunny. Even though it was my first time there, she was very kind, asked me how my day was, and even brought me a glass of ice water with lime. I highly recommend this place!“

“For the amount you pay is totally a steal! The helpful server was very generous on my toppings. First time here and very impressed 🤗 Great place for lunch and possibly leftovers. Got a diy bowl and a drink. Total was around $23. Without tip!“

“High quality, friendly service“

“I visited this restaurant today, and I was really impressed! Under the new management, the manager, staff, and sushi chefs were all kind, attentive, and provided excellent service. The restaurant has been newly renovated -- it looks beautiful, clean, and very comfortable.
I went there to celebrate my birthday with my family, and it turned out to be an unforgettable afternoon filled with wonderful surprises. I truly appreciated the warm hospitality and attention to detail. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food and an exceptional dining experience!“

“The experience is five stars! I went to the Kura Sushi in Osaka Japan and the experience was pretty much identical! The quality was solid and $4 a plate can really add up fast! In the old days, you just stack the plates so you were always kind of aware of how much you were spending but now you slide them down this little hole in the table so my only tip is perhaps stack them instead and then put them down the slide later so that you can track how much you're actually spending if that's a concern. Otherwise, food and the quality was pretty good and the service was prompt when requested.“

“Great place. Good food and friendly staff.“

“Heard about this place on theskedge.com and it was good timing, because I was really in the mood for poke. It was pretty delicious. I had some salmon & tuna, with seaweed salad, etc. Not expensive at all either so I definitely recommend.“

“I heard about this place from theskedge.com so I decided to check it out! I judge sushi place by its Spicy Tuna roll because it is simple to make and one of my favorites. No, like I order it everywhere I go. This restaurant had one of my favorite spicy tunas in LA. Fantastic job. Other rolls were great as well :)“

“I love this place. Very clean and great food. Very fresh.“

“The servers were all friendly and helpful. The food is great!“

“Music was horrible with cussing. when there was a kid in the restaurant. And they didn't notice that there was a kid in the restaurant and did nothing about it. And just played cussing music.

Kid-friendliness: No, had cussing music“
