Down to earth

by gcake1105 at Citysearch

Very down to earth place, very small, clean and simple. Doesn't have much of an "atmosphere" or decor. Not a large restaurant, very tiny, but has pretty good food, including non-sushi dishes. Owners have changed since a few years ago, owners are not Japanese anymore, but food has remained up to par.

• Pros: Parking, Food
• Cons: Ambience

Great Hole in the Wall Sushi Restaurant

by sherryk19 at Citysearch

I rate this sushi as some of the best I've ever eaten. The fish is always fresh and the cut is always superb. This is a great local restaurant with a lot of repeat business. The sushi chef and owners expect to see me and my boyfriend there at least once a week, where we splurge on the O-toro, Baked Black Cod (we always get two because I don't like to share- this is the only dish I actually DREAM about...and yes it is that good), Spicy Tuna Rolls, Ahi Katsu, Albacore in Garlic Sauce, Live Scallops and more. They won't disappoint you, just talk to Hiro-san at the counter. He will tell you exactly what fish is the best for the day and make recommendations based on that. Alan, the other sushi chef/owner, is a lively and colorful character and always makes dining a wonderful experience. If you are a repeat customer, Linda (co-owner) will remember the drinks and dishes you like and take special care of you. I often see people go in to the restaurant and rave about how good it is. Once there was two travelers from Germany who drove out from Los Angeles, simply because this place was recommended over Zuma, which is another popular restaurant in LA. That sealed the deal for me. I will continue to go, as long as I live close enough to get out there (and I live in Valencia by the way.) This restaurant is well worth the drive.

• Pros: Fresh Sushi, Baked Black Cod, Great Conversation with the Chefs.
• Cons: No Cons, but the restaurant is small and very intimate.

One of the best sushi restuarants in the area....

by omegaseamaster at Citysearch

This is my favorite sushi restaurant in the area. The sushi is fresh and well prepared. The chefs never disappoint me when I need a recommendation on what to try. It's always a plus if the sushi chefs working here have been making sushi for 20 years or so. I'd suggest the Ahi Katsu appetizer along with the spicy tuna sushi rolls. The yellowtail, toro sushi, and spider rolls are also favorites.
