    Sushi
    May V.

    Food is amazing. Service is great! Place is clean and nice. Everything we ordered was delicious and beautifully presented! The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and the rice was perfectly seasoned. Each bite had a great balance of flavors and textures. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was relaxing and welcoming. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience. Definitely a place I'd come back to when craving good sushi!

    Carpaccio pieces were nice and big!!! Albacore, Salmon, Salmon Tataki, Scallop and Yellowtail yum!

    Amazing dinner tonight with my wife everything was super fresh and delicious. Their ayce menu is so extensive it's impossible to try everything so we will have to come back. Our server Jeremy was very attentive and explained everything when we ordered. Very clean and spacious. Come early or be ready to wait for a table because this place is good.

    AYCE - PREMIUM SUSHI This location does not disappoint at all when they say PREMIUM sushi. Instead of a 6-pack, I wish I had 6 chambers in my stomach just to try all the items on their menu. Everything was so delicious. From the baked muscles to the fresh sushi slices... yuzo to regular rolls. The place was loud with conversations about love, dating dos and don't, quality and presentation of food, drama in the office or home, and whether or not to other a 3rd line of premium sushi or not. It is definitely a lively place to eat. Service was quick and precise. They made sure we got everything we ordered. There were a few times we had to remind our server about our 1st round but it was still pretty good. One thing I'll add is IF you have MORE THAN a party of 4 --- I'd ask for a longer table instead of adding a seat at the end of the booth. Because we were a party of 5, our table was FULL of food and I felt kind of rushed to finish my order so we can make room for our upcoming orders. It felt a little rushed.... but if we had a little more room, we could have had time savor our plates instead of inhaling it. Also, if you're coming in between lunch and dinner, I suggest to look over your AYCE price range -- were you seated during lunch price or dinner? Because although we were seated during "lunch prices" when we got our check, we were charged "dinner prices." Our server was quick to fix it so just take a quick look before you pay. Question is this --- will I come back? Absolutely 100%!!!

    Good for 3 person

    Great food with a lot of variety! There were plenty of options to choose from, and everything we tried was delicious. Jessica is service.

    My sister and I arrived 5m after opening to see a line formed outside the door already. I go god damn this place must be the spot and was promptly seated after finishing that thought. Our server Agra got the orders going with the quickness and despite 20 other people seated already, we got our order 8m after and oh my shiiiiibal the rice to fish ratio was magnificent. Slabs of yellowtail on a flat mattress of rice. Every piece of nigiri I had was practically melting in my mouth. It was so good. Honestly I wished I coughed up the extra for the premier items if their standard items were this damn good already. If you made it this far, check the spread they painstakingly spent plating only for me to devour the damn thing in 30s You won't be disappointed

    Philadelphia Roll (6-8 Pcs)

    Fran, if I'm not mistaken, was one of the best servers at this place! We were lucky to have her helping us. We came on a Wednesday, and it was still pretty busy. We ordered two sushi rolls, the Malibu Roll and the Philadelphia Roll, and they were both absolutely delicious The ambience was good, just make sure where they seat you because you don't want to be next to kids crying ! However The ambience is happy and clean. Everyone was very nice, but what really stood out was Fran. I hope I'm spelling her name correctly! She went above and beyond, took the time to explain everything to us so we would know what's what for the future, and she really knew what she was talking about. We truly enjoyed our experience because of her!

    Absolutely loved Aikan Sushi! I'm a sucker for uni (sea urchin), so anytime I see it on the menu I'm already excited, and the Japanese uni here was a highlight for me. Rich, creamy, fresh, and exactly what I was hoping for. There's a great variety of sushi and plenty to choose from, so it's easy to try a little bit of everything. We really enjoyed the food and the overall experience. If you're a sushi lover, and especially if you love uni like I do, this place is definitely worth a visit.

    "Premium All You Can Eat"... until you order seconds.

    I have mixed feelings about Aikan Sushi. The fish was actually really good and fresh, so I have no complaints about the quality of the food. My issue is with the "Premium All You Can Eat." You would think that if you're paying extra for premium all you can eat, then the premium items would actually be all you can eat, right? Nope. Definitely read the fine print. A lot of the premium items are only one order per person, and if you want another one, you have to pay extra. That just doesn't make sense to me. What's the point of paying more for "Premium All You Can Eat" when you can't actually order those items more than once? Again, the food was delicious, but don't call something all you can eat and then charge customers extra if they want another serving. It felt misleading and honestly took away from the experience.

    Aikan Carpaccio

    My family and I recently visited Aikan Sushi in Northridge around 2:30 PM. Even though many tables were empty, we still had to wait about 30 minutes to be seated. The hostess explained that the manager had asked her to hold off on seating people because they were short-staffed. Once we were seated, the food was great--fresh and served quickly. Our server, Collin, was fantastic. He made sure we had everything we needed and checked in frequently. I also noticed they've added and changed a few items on their menu. Overall, we had a positive experience and would definitely return to Aikan, especially their Pasadena location, where the ramen is really delicious!

    I am always very picky with my sashimi and this place sashimi is fresh and fatty! We are here for the holiday and the service was quick and attentive. They don't accept reservations so you should come in put your name down and walk around the plaza while waiting. The vibes are upbeat and family friendly. They have table for big group.

    Carpaccio!

There's a sign in the front clearly stating "no sushi" which was perfect because we weren't looking for that this time. I chose this spot because I've always wanted to try more home-style Japanese dishes which is what this place advertises. We were greeted immediately upon entering by the owner, Miki. She was great the whole time! Chatting with customers, including us, and cracking jokes. It was great to get to know her as we dined. The atmosphere is cozy, good for groups, small parties, and individuals as there's bar seating too. We decided to get the butter sautéed squid, grilled mackerel, karaage, sake steamed clams, and a zaru soba each. Miki said it was a very Japanese order haha. The squid was out quickly, followed by the karaage. The squid was served on a hot plate, sizzling hot! It was tender and chewy, and the sauce with it was delicious and so savory! We asked to keep the sauce for future dipping. The karaage was perfectly crisp and super juicy and moist inside. It went well with the provided fresh lemon and mayo dipping sauce. There was also a small refreshing side salad with it. Next came the clams and mackerel. Miki said we were eating so fast lol. The clams were plump and cooked perfectly. We removed them from their shells and dipped a few in the squid butter sauce. The broth was excellent. Super light but had deep flavors of clam. The mackerel was both our favorite part. Grilled perfectly and served with some grated radish and lemon. It was salty enough for me so I didn't use the provided soy sauce, and the lemon and radish really helped to lighten it up. It was a great combo of Smokey, salty, meaty with acidic and slightly bitter freshness! It was a generous portion of fish too. The soba noodles were also good and plenty. They were served with green onions, wasabi, and soy sauce dipping sauce. I think I've had better soba noodles that were house-made, but the broth brought them to the next level. We still had some room left in our stomachs so we decided to get an order of the vegetable tempura after Miki talked it up. It had super thin batter and was perfectly fried. There was green bean, orange sweet potato, Japanese sweet potato, eggplant (my favorite), and whole shiitake mushroom (second favorite). The dipping sauce was super salty, as it should be, and I sipped it lightly while eating the shiitake mushroom. Overall a light and comforting meal. It felt healthy and soothing, just like home. It's not the cheapest place, but it is worth it because you cant find many restaurants serving these items nearby! I'm ready to go back to try the sautéed mushrooms (Miki's favorite), curry (Miki recommended), agedashi tofu (another recommendation) and basically everything else!
